About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Little River Annex /exquisite gardens / ocean views/ 550 sq.ft.
NOTE:This is a romantic get-away for two. The pull out bed in the living room is an alternative to the ladder or for one additional person (an adult child for instance) with approval from the owner.
Description:
Stroll through an acre of coastal gardens thriving with plants from the coast. . .
plop down beneath a tower of jewels and fall fast asleep
Kick up. your feet . . .
sip a glass of Mendocino county wine
watch the sun sink into the Pacific . . .
All this awaits you at Little River Annex, a beautiful guest house with tower, just two miles from the village of Mendocino.
We invite you to unplug.
Maybe you’d like a roaring fire in the evening. . .
Or a cozy dinner.
Little River Annex is just the place.
Located in Little River, CA on five wooded acres facing the Pacific Ocean, our Guest house with tower (total 550 sq. Ft.) is the perfect retreat. Appointed with original local art and a hand-woven rug, this vacation rental oozes charm and sunlight.
We trust you will find everything you need for your stay at Little River Annex. We offer a full living room equipped with a pull out bed (for one person), a bedroom with king bed (in the tower), a kitchen, and a two sink bathroom. We have reliable TV and internet. With our new 3,000 gallon water tank, there is no water shortage here.
We hope to see you soon.
JoAnne, Property Owner
NOTE: Little River Annex is not your perfect spot if you need:
*The entire property to yourselves. JoAnne often stays in the adjacent cottage (separated by the 10' wide foyer.) Assume that she might be there. Please note: JoAnne is respectful of your privacy and you have the full grounds with the exception of her porch and garden directly in front of her cottage unit (1 acre of garden is developed and there are 4 wooded acres).
•Cell phone coverage; It is sporadic and generally unavailable until you are near Highway 1 or in Mendocino or Ft. Bragg. However, we do use wifi calling. To access it, put the wifi password into your phone. Then go to settings. Select phone. Select wifi calling. You can make and receive calls. Our internet is reliable
•Unlimited TV channels; we offer basic channels only.
•All on one level: The king bedroom requires climbing the sturdy Irish ladder. The alternative is the pull out sofa bed in the living room. It is very comfortable with no bar in the middle.

Perfect Weekend
Perfect stay for a long weekend in Little River. Communication with host was very clear, and easy. The annex has all of the things you’ll need to have a comfortable enjoyable stay on the beautiful Northern California coast. I’ll hopefully have an opportunity to come back in the future.

Quiet and Beautiful
Such a cute property, with a lovely garden and woods behind it. We enjoyed having coffee outside in the mornings to breathe in the fresh air and look at the beautiful surroundings. The annex had everything we needed for a nice weekend stay. Bed was large and comfy in the loft which wasn't too hard to navigate up and down the ladder. Kitchen supplies were great, although I wished there was a gas grill to use. Our favorite was the wood stove which was perfect for taking the chill off in the morning and evening. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven.

Peaceful. Beautiful. Calm. Perfect.
The stay at this location was everything which was desired for my vacation. Joanne was a great hostess, provided quick responses and delivered exactly as presented.
The location was specifically away from Mendocino to allow for a quiet and private retreat. Getting to town was a mere 2.5 miles, and nothing was missed.
The appointment of the cottage was tasteful, clean, comfy, and more than met expectations. The outdoor area was the perfect place for drinking wine, reading and sleeping away an hour or two. Lovely grounds surrounded with lovely landscape.
The view of the ocean, although not oceanside, was perfect!
The trip up the ladder for the bedroom was perfect. Every morning a great view out the front window was present.
Thank you Joanne for sharing your prefect little treasure during my vacation. I could not have asked for a more comfortable perfect spot.

Great stay
This annex was perfect for my wife and I. Cute set up for the two of us. The cottage was very clean and the amenities are as described. The gardens are very nice as well, in the mornings you can hear the seals and there are 2 owls around the property. Very quiet, highly recommended.

Worked out for us
Property grounds were quiet. The annex is a converted garage with a little tower which houses the bedroom loft. The loft requires you to climb a ladder to access. The kitchen area was cute and well stocked. Bathroom was roomy and clean. Furniture was a older.
