About this property
Forest oasis 3 min from beach + Hot Tub + Fire Pit
Get away to the Little River Escape beach cottage. 3/4 mile from the popular Van Damme Beach and State Park where you can relax on the sand, kayak along the sea caves, or immerse yourself in the redwoods. 2.75 miles from the Mendocino Village full of great food, wine, and art to explore.
This is a 3bd/1.5ba remodeled beach cottage that sleeps up to 6 (2 queens, 1 twin with a twin trundle). When you're done exploring, unwind on the 1 acre lot along Schoolhouse Creek complete with a deck, fire pit, hot tub, BBQ grill, and cornhole. Lie back and hang out on our hammock with a beautiful view within a ring of towering redwoods. When the fog rolls in and the day winds down, cozy up next to the fire place stocked with board game favorites. The bathroom has a rainfall shower, which is a family favorite. For those working virtually, a home office space is available with Comcast high speed cable internet.
Household water is conditioned, filtered, and UV sterilized. The hot tub is professionally cleaned after each visit.
