OCEAN VIEWS - Gourmet Kitchen - BEACH ACCESS - Short Walk - Sleeps 4

Gaze over the crystal blue ocean of the Mendocino coastline accented by sparkling "diamonds on the water," right from the porch of our fully remodeled, historic, two-story, Victorian-style home.

With all modern amenities, this historic home was one of the original homes during the booming logging era in Mendocino County. Located in quaint Little River, CA., this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home mixes Victorian nostalgia with all-modern amenities. Maximum capacity is 4 persons. Not suitable for children under 12 years or infants. No events or gatherings that would exceed the 4 person maximum, please, and no pets. For your security and the security of our home, we have 2 exterior security cams at both entry points covering property.

We are surrounded by Van Damme State Park on 3 sides. We have total access to beach trails including a short path that leads to a secluded cove on Van Damme Bay, the Spring Ranch trail so you can take a quick walk to see the white-water of the surf crashing against the rocks, and other amazing hiking trails. You might even spot a pod of whales. If you have ever wished for an enchanted getaway, this is it.

Shop and dine in charming Mendocino, Albion, Fort Bragg, or right here in Little River. Golf, explore and enjoy. You have found a hidden gem.

We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to our home. You can accept the rental contract online, however, we require your signature on all of our rental packet documents that will be sent via email from our property management firm.

This property requires guests to use stairs to the the bedrooms upstairs. Thank you.

Amazing house and location
The pictures don't quite do it justice. The house is that nice. And that little walk down of the Beach that they say is 5 minutes might be too short for how beautiful it is. Owner/manager was very good with communication. This place is awesome

Awesome!
We loved the house! Upon entering, the first thing that came to my mind was "WOW, what a steal!" Picturesque views and the proximity to town made our vacation so enjoyable! Loved the little path down to the beach, definitely wish we had done that more. Just a few downsides though. The bed wasn't that comfortable for us, but that's just a preference for a firmer bed. Also the "paperwork" was a bit much and a little annoying. Other than that, we had a very good time and highly recommend this place.

Little River, CA, Peterson Lane rental...
Bonnie was an awesome host! Some paperwork to review, but as respectful guests, we appreciate her attention to detail. Bonnie also gave us a last minute update on a potential issue that was resolved and gave us a late check out in return. So kind! Ideal location. Basically 5 or so minutes to Mendo Village, Little River Inn, The Ledford House and Catch-A -Canoe and anything you need. The 100 + year house is restored to perfection. Kitchen and front porch are ideal. Top floor bedroom, bathroom and bedroom deck have epic views of Van Damme beach with trail to beach across the road. Only downers are the private gated community fence next door that can be loud with in and out traffic and folks parking randomly trying to find the beach trail. Otherwise, a beautiful home that is centrally located minutes from Mendo Village without the cluster eff. Thank you, Bonnie! Kind regards from Chris and Steph

Bonnie is a very responsive and unobtrusive host/owner. The house is well equipped specifically for a B&B, comfortable, and uncluttered. The location is ideal for a wonderful view, walking access to the beach, and a spectacular coastal walk on the Spring Ranch Trail.

Lovely in Little River
We had a great time in Little River. It is close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg. We went to Point Arena lighthouse,Point Cabrillo lighthouse, Glass beach, Pudding Creek Trestle, Bodega, Goat Rock beach, the Sea Ranch Chapel, and Stinson Beach. We enjoyed the wonderful views from the gorgeous house. We saw a doe and her fawn right on the property. We also saw two little gray fox near the driveway. Thanks for sharing your home Bonnie!

Quiet Getaway
This property is situated on a quiet street with views of the from the kitchen and upstairs bedroom. The house was well furnished and the kitchen fully equipped. The host had given us very detailed instructions and also information on the area and things to do. Mendocino was a short drive from the property and is a very lovely, quaint town. The drive to Anderson Valley was breathtaking, if not a little unnerving navigating the many curves. But well worth the trip. Many trails to hike through redwoods or to the coastline.

Perfect location and so comfortable
We couldn’t have chosen a better location for our six night stay. Loved the views from the front windows and main bedroom. Very very clean and all the furniture was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds are so comfortable. Bathroom was wonderful – very spacious and plenty of space for all of our stuff. Washer and dryer are great to have in the house. Nice to be able to take a quick walk down to the beach and view the different tide levels. Very short drive into Mendocino, and to many of the local parks. Very quiet location. Fantastic stay. Thank you Bonnie! We would recommend this house to anyone we know coming to this area

House Adjoining LIttle River & Van Damme Beach
Bonnie is an exceptionally responsive host, reaching out to make sure all was well with our check-in and stay. The house location is convenient to visiting the Mendocino area, in a quiet lane off of Hwy 1. Exceptionally well-stocked and very clean. Perfect for a small family with older children. The two bedrooms are upstairs with comfortable bedding. The listing is accurate: the bedrooms are up some steep stairs and are not accessible for mobility-impaired. A note to know: This house has a very quick and efficient heating system, and also relies on a pump/instant hot water system. If the power goes out, there is very quickly no hot water and soon thereafter no water at all. We were there during a stormy span of days in March, and we lost power twice. Not something our exceptionally responsive host could have done anything about, and we still enjoyed our stay at this house thoroughly. Just something to know if you are there in unsettled weather when PG&E service may fluctuate. The house has a big battery powered lantern for just such events, so easy to work-around the situation.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The communication with Bonnie was timely and helpful. The kitchen was stocked with great cookware. The beds were comfortable. There was room for my son to take his meetings in the small game room where he wouldn't be disturbed. The view was unbelievable. We loved that she trusted her guests with a good set of binoculars. The beach down the path was a fun place at low tide. It was a terrific stay and we would highly recommend it.

Beautiful home, Peaceful location, Gorgeous view
The house is lovely and well maintained. Check in process was smooth and everything was well organized. You can't beat the view from the large picture windows in the kitchen, out to the ocean. So cool to have a beach so near, just down a little path in the hill. Van Damme State Park and Russian Gulch State park are gorgeous - both the forest sides and the ocean side trails. If you love the outdoors, and peace and quiet, you can't beat this rental. Also, just a hop from Fort Bragg for shops, restaurants and historic sites. Glass beach was awesome. Highly recommend!
