About this property
Cozy Mendocino Coast cottage, wood stove and fire pit. Pet friendly!
Relax and unwind at our rustic yet cozy two bedroom guest cottage, conveniently located between Mendocino and Fort Bragg, just minutes from all the spectacular Mendocino Coast has to offer.
Willow Cottage @ Barte Woods has a long history. The woods have been in our family since 1933, and the guest cottage has been expanded four times through three generations! The cottage has a living/dining space with cute wood stove (wood provided), smart TV, comfy loveseat sofa, armchair and dining table. The well equipped kitchen has the handmade cabinets from the very first cabin on the property, and includes modern conveniences of a full size fridge, gas stove and microwave.
The master bedroom has a king sized Heavenly® bed. Enjoy the majestic trees and pond beyond through the 7’ patio doors, or step out onto the sunny patio and listen to the birdsong. Please note the master bedroom is accessed via the jack and jill bathroom - a quirk of a cottage built up over many decades! Please also be aware that the cottage has steps Inside the home if any guests have mobility issues.
The second bedroom has a built in twin sized cabin bed, plus a spacious desk for work from home options. The fast WiFi adds to the convenience.
The bathroom has a walk in shower and modern vanity.
Guests also have access to a private fire pit and a washer and dryer.
The outside space is expansive, overlooking the pond and forest beyond.
Please note the pond is not fenced and during the wet season can be over 6' deep in places. Please be aware of this if booking with toddlers or young children, and/or pets that may have an issue with deeper water.
Your hosts live in the neighboring house, located about 50’ away. Your total privacy to fully enjoy the cottage and outside space is our aim, but we are readily available should anything need attention during your stay.
One dog is allowed, subject to a pet fee. Dogs should be kept on a leash, and must be friendly towards other dogs, as there is another (very friendly) dog that lives in the neighboring house.
Licence #136161.

About the host
Hosted by Jo & Ed Schiro
Husband and wife team hosting you. We are experienced vacation rental hosts, with two other homes in Mendocino and Sonoma counties, both with hundreds of 5* reviews. Jo is a local Realtor, and we also run a property development company. We love houses, but always consider them homes with different personalities.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is situated on our own property, called Barte Woods. The property has been in our family since 1933! We are excited for guests to come and enjoy the beauty and serenity of the woods. We have 40 acres of private woodland here, but share it with so much birdlife, as well as deer, foxes and jack rabbits! We are located near the Botanical Gardens, less than a ten minute drive into both Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
