Our quaint farmhouse is located on a working cattle ranch in Capetown, California. This house is just 15 miles from the beautiful Victorian Village, Ferndale. A 25 minute drive over the countryside. Our home is the most western point in the "Golden State", California. You will be surrounded by beautiful scenery with horses and cattle found out every window of the house. It is the perfect rustic and private getaway for the entire family. Amazing scenic views can be found right in our backyard.
Our family homesteaded in Capetown in the 1800's and the property has stayed in our family ever since. Our ranch is surrounded by private ranches for 10+ miles in all directions. It is less than an hour drive to the Redwoods and only 3.6 miles to Cape Mendocino, the gateway to the Lost Coast. Here is where you will find beach access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. In the summer months, the Mattole Valley is warm and full of sun. Many people bike this area and it is a treasure to those that have been here.Enjoy the view of the sunset over the mouth of the Bear River, as seen from the house. This stay is perfect for someone looking for a quiet country getaway for yourself or the entire family. It is the perfect place for anyone needing to step away from the real world and have full privacy. It is a one-of-a-kind rustic and private stay that will have you never wanting to leave.
Along with experiencing the quiet beauty of what Capetown has to offer, we will also provide you with the password to our WiFi, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Youtube TV. We have monitor heating that heats the house up quickly. The master bedroom has a California King sized bed, the guest bedroom has a queen sized bed, and the pull out couch in the living room has a queen size mattress. There is a fire pit and seating for you to enjoy the blissful evenings outside while having a perfectly clear view of the stars. Prior to checking in we will provide you with the combination to the lock box located on the front door which holds the key to get inside.
