We absolutely loved this cozy and quiet stay among the redwoods! The cottage was charming, clean and well taken care of, with some really thoughtful touches. We one especially loved the “book nook” bench, the beautiful flower garden, the chickens calmly roaming around, and being able to easily start up a warm fire on our final night. We would definitely come back to stay here again! Thank you!

There was a strong lingering wood smoke odor (I assume from the previous tenant using the fireplace) the first night. Leaving the screened windows open took care of that, and indeed, I left those windows open my entire stay since the temperature was so pleasant and the sound of chickens clucking as they browsed was so delightful. Lovely inviting gardens, close proximity to Mendocino and the beaches, and even the ability to charge my EV without going into Ft Bragg - yes, I would stay here again!

This idyllic cozy cottage in the woods was a nature lover’s dream! The garden setting was so pretty and it was a very quiet and peaceful property. Everything was thoughtfully available to us as guests, including fresh eggs from the chickens, lots of cozy blankets for the cool nights and all the items you might forget on your trip. The cottage was very well presented, kept, clean and maintained but still had a few quirky little things you’d expect from a charming place with character and charm.What was fantastic was the secluded, remote feel, but it was only a few mins into town, Van Damme State Park and Jug-Handle park, which were all gorgeous destinations we enjoyed. We would love to come back and visit again some day, and I would definitely recommend it!!

The enchanted cottage is a dream! Perfect little hobbit hole in the redwoods to really impress those who love Tolkien and enjoy the quiet of a good fire, a cup of tea and a walk through a garden.Margie was welcoming, left us a little note and had farm fresh eggs available along with English muffins, butter, jam and cream to go with coffee. We enjoyed discovering all the wonderful items around the house and reading the outside of the historical first books to learn more about the property, one couple spent their honeymoon there and their 37th wedding anniversary! If that doesn’t tell you the type of host Margie is I don’t know what does!

About the host

Hosted by Margie Kamb

Host profile image
After raising my children here on the family property I ran our bed and breakfast in the house and barn for over 35 years. Along the way, I met some wonderful people some of who came back every year. We even had Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and their son Wyat stay for six weeks while filming the movie Overboard. Nice people.
My gardens are important to me and give me much pleasure as do my chickens who give me lots of eggs.
I am celebrating living in Mendocino for the past 50 years having moved here in 1971.
It's not always been easy but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else and I'm lucky to have my family and friends close by. I'm a happy, lucky person.
