About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Jughandle Coast Vacation Home

This home is conveniently located between Fort Bragg (5 minutes away) and the Village of Mendocino (10 minutes away). Located 1/4 mile from the beach, the home is also close to state parks (Jug Handle, Russian Gulch, Redwood Forest, Van Damm and McKerricher) which are especially great for hiking, biking and beach access.

The home is very private, set on two wooded acres. A grassy yard opens into a meadow surrounded by redwoods, pine and fir. The house features cathedral ceilings and warm wood floors throughout, a completely equipped kitchen, cable TV/VCR, CD player, telephone, toasty wood-stove with a glass window for dinners in firelight, and a large back&side deck with outdoor dining and a barbecue for grilling.

This Mendocino house has a king, a queen, and two trundle beds (each of these beds can sleep two singles or make into queen size beds). All firewood, linens, kitchen supplies, and bedding are provided for your convenience as well as a washer and dryer. Portable crib is available.

The house and deck are wheel chair accessible but the bathroom is not large enough to accommodate a standard wheel chair.

Nice and relaxing

We had an amazing stay at this cabin! It was the perfect getaway for our small family. The cabin had everything we needed—comfortable, well-equipped, and incredibly cozy. The main room was spacious and open, with an incredible fireplace that made our evenings so relaxing.The patio deck was a highlight, offering a peaceful spot to unwind and watch the many beautiful birds around. We loved the quiet and secluded setting, which made for a truly peaceful escape. Plus, it was just a quick drive to the beach, making it easy to enjoy both relaxation and adventure.We would love to come back again!

Location Location Location

We loved this property because of its location. Close to everything we love about the Mendocino Coast: Restaurants and shopping in Fort Bragg, Noyo Headlands and Harbor, Mendo Botanical Gardens, Jughandle Reserve, Pt Cabrillo Light, and the village of Mendocino itself. That said, the home was very comfortable both indoors and out, would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you Matt and Cathy!
