Elegant farmhouse cottage on beautiful apple orchard

Modern farmhouse cottage set on 5 private acres including an apple orchard, 100 year old water tower, outbuildings and several majestic cypress and cedar trees. The home offers elegance and comfort rarely available on the coast. You will also find that any stay here is as much about enjoying the land as it is the house. Once an active homestead, this property is simply a delight to experience.

The recently renovated home has two similarly sized bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, a living room and a modern kitchen/diner that opens onto the south facing patio, complete with fire pit. The bedrooms each have a queen bed, accommodating 4 guests. 1 additional guest can be accommodated on a fold away single bed, which can be set up on request in either of the bedrooms. (Please request this prior to arrival.). A spacious patio links the home to the water tower, which offers a hammock retreat space. This is the place to watch the wildlife in the morning, or enjoy the sun setting on the treetops by the fire pit in the evening.

The house has been meticulously refurbished using old growth redwood, salvaged from the home during the remodel. Featuring many modern amenities, the renovated space still honors the property's 100 year-plus homestead history.

There are 13 well established apple trees on the property, from which guests can enjoy picking their own apples during harvest season, September through November. Each season though brings its own natural joys, such as the apple blossom in March, the magnificent rhododendrons in April or the foxgloves in June.

A washer and dryer can be made available on request for longer stays.

The property sits on 5 acres; the entire property is available to guests. You'll discover many different spots on the property to enjoy, each giving a different aspect of the home and surrounding flora and fauna.

lovely, private cottage

Excellent choice for two of us during our stay in the Mendocino area. Two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, gave us our privacy and the common living area and kitchen were comfortable and functional. Lovely being on the old orchard property and having space around us - and living lawn ornaments (a family of deer!).

Wonderful yard

The large yard with deer, rabbits, cranes and other birds was the best seller. While the older stove and oven looked classic, we would have preferred one that worked.

Tranquil setting

We stayed at the cottage because our son was getting married in Mendocino. The cottage had everything we needed to relax before the ceremony and to get ready the day of. We loved the beautiful outdoor space and even enjoyed the fire pit. The cottage itself was completely remodeled by the owners and is beautiful.

Great spot for a family getaway

We stayed at this charming property for our family's end-of-summer getaway before school started. This charmingly updated property was super comfortable, had a large ground for our 2 boys to run around on, and were frequently visited by families of dears each day. It's close to both Mendocino and Fort Bragg so we were able to come back for afternoon breaks between beach and hiking excursions. Great setup for any family needing to get away!

Perfect Stay

The Mendocino Homestead was immaculate and modern, yet giving cozy, charming, cottage vibes. The grounds were enchanting, complete with two deer grazing upon our arrival. It was perfectly located a short drive from Downtown Fort Bragg, beaches, State Parks, and the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and accommodating. It was the perfect stay.

Peaceful homestead retreat

We stayed just one night, but wanted to stay much longer! The home is well appointed, comfortable, and welcoming. The owners did a great job renovating the old homestead into a modern guest home while retaining the charm of the original. We loved the hammock and swing, seeing deer in the backyard, and stargazing. The property is peaceful without being isolated. We had time to visit the tide pools at the Glass Beach and have a satisfying dinner at Sea Pal's, both close by. Communication with the hosts was good. We are hoping to return!
