Escape to this delightful hideaway and enjoy the best of two worlds - both Mendocino Village and Mendocino Headlands State Park are literally at your doorstep!

The dining table seats up to four. The gas fireplace keeps you warm while you snuggle up in the two luxurious recliner chairs or the sofa to read, watch TV, or simply take in the view in silence. The queen sofa sleeper downstairs comes complete with a comfy memory foam mattress.
A spiral staircase leads to a beautiful loft upstairs with a queen bed, built-in desk, and a gas wall heater. Two rocking chairs looking out over Mendocino Headlands State Park provide additional spaces to read, talk, doze, or quietly reflect.

Summary: Location is excellent! You can walk down to the Bluff Trail, which is gorgeous! You also can walk to all the downtown shops and restaurants in Mendocino. It’s not too far from the botanical garden which is amazing anytime of the year. I really appreciate that dogs are allowed although right now there are a lot of Foxtails along the walkway to the front door.
