The locations and views definitely cannot be beat with this location. The only downside is that the bathroom is pretty small and things could probably using some sprucing up. However, it's truly was a great place, we loved the hot tub, the amazing views, and quick drive to Mendocino.

Nice romantic getaway

The Cabin was just what we needed after visiting Yosemite. We enjoyed the serenity and didn't want to leave. Mendocino was just the type of costal town we were looking for. It was great to be so close to town as well as being so peaceful. Would stay again!

Supreme privacy and views

The listing pictures don’t do justice to how secluded, quiet, and private this cottage is. The house itself has a wonderful layout for two - solid sized kitchen, living area, and bedroom - but the real standout is the deck and hot tub. We spent an amazingly relaxing week over 4th of July and can’t wait to come back.

Gorgeous property for two with the most breathtaking views.

The Perfect Getaway

We loved everything about our stay. The cabin is located on a ridge that overlooks the Navarro River and the ocean. The views are spectacular from the deck and hot tub, as well as the bedroom and living spaces. It was delightful watching the turkey vultures, ravens and hawks soar right by the deck, and we were lucky enough to spot two bald eagles from Navarro Beach. The bed is very comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower is powerful; perfect for a good night’s sleep. The kitchen is small but well appointed. We will definitely return for another visit.
