About this house rental
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.

Loved the entire experience! Beds are comfortable. Shower water pressure, great. Entire home and grounds are very clean. Enjoyed the backyard immensely, at night, by the fire and stars. Was just as enjoyable and relaxing by day. Watching the deer eating apples was a delight! Property is conveniently located to shopping, dining, and numerous activities. You can buy anything you need when you arrive, if you don't want to carry a bunch of stuff from home. The hosts are extremely accessible, nice and respect your privacy. Absolutely, recommend this adorable cottage with all its history.

We stayed at this cottage with another couple as a mini vacation. Fantastic location! The cottage is laid out with a comfortable living room, kitchen facing out to the property, and bedrooms with en suite bathrooms at either side of the cottage. We enjoyed sitting around the fire on the back patio which is reached from the kitchen, watching the deer munch on apples. I used to live in Mendocino and felt quite nostalgic.The house is a quick drive to Harvest Market in Fort Bragg for groceries, as well as into Fort Bragg for restaurants. We drove out to Ten Mile Beach and the Old Smith Ranch trail which is definitely worth a visit as it overlooks Ten Mile River. We will return soon!

I have stayed in many places here on Vrbo and this was by far the cleanest well decorated house to date. Host was extremely friendly and got back to me every time extremely fast, will be heading back 100%
