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. 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 Level 2 40A EV charger is available for guest use for a small additional charge. Please message host at time of booking. 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.

Refuge from the storm.
We initially were unable to stay the first night due to a power outage throughout the area but were able to come the 2nd day and were extended the opportunity to stay the next night as well. Our stay has been delightful. The property is gorgeous, and the home is well stocked with everything a gourmet cook could desire. The property is close to town and it is easy to navigate to restaurants and to a Safeway store. The hosts were anxious to help us throughout our stay. This property comes with my unabashed recommendation. recommend this property

A great base for exploring Mendocino coast
A compact but tastefully remodelled cabin is cozy and well appointed. We enjoyed it thoroughly with the kids running circles around the tank house in the yard. A 30amp electric car charger is a bonus should you need one! We will be back. Thanks for the nice place and especially for the photo album showing your restoration work on the cabin.

Amazing Getaway!
A hidden gem! This place was perfect for a girls weekend! The moment we drove up we loved it. The home is so beautiful just full of charm. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful!! It rained and for us it didn’t stop us. We took advantage of the beautiful water tower and danced under it , so fun! The location is perfect because it’s between Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Feeling lucky we found this place will definitely come back again! Would have given 10 stars! Jo you’re amazing absolutely appreciative of you, grateful to have met you, thanks again from all of us. cheers! Penny, Erin, kelly

Anniversary get-away
We enjoyed the large multi-acre property, with it’s many rustic structures and water tower. While the property had a number of apple trees, we did not consider it an apple orchard. One morning, a family of deer roamed the grounds, before disappearing into the forest. The refurbished farm house was nicely appointed. We enjoyed our breakfasts on the patio, listening to birds sing. We would definitely return.

The cottage was lovely, our stay was wonderful.
We have been frequent visitors to Mendocino/Ft. Bragg over the last 20 years. This is our first visit to this cottage and we loved staying here. The cottage was lovely. It is everything the photos show and more. The kitchen well supplied. The bed had wonderful linens and we found very comfortable. The bathrooms had great towels. The owners binder gave you great information about the cottage and also provided many recommendations if you are new to the area. The backyard I enjoyed thoroughly. It a was beautiful and peaceful respite full of apple trees. I enjoyed sitting out there reading a book and drinking a glass of wine and received an occasional visit from the deer. It was just what we needed. Communication with Jo the owner was easy. Thank you Jo for your wonderful cottage.

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!

Very Relaxing
Stopped here overnight on a very busy road trip. What a great decision. In our 10 nights traveling the coast from Seattle to LA - this was our favorite spot. Loved the little book showing history of the place. Enjoying a cool glass of water while watching deer roam about the property. Everything we needed was available. Nice town as well - host had great suggestions in the information book for dining, shopping and swimming. Overall an outstanding experience. Thank you Jo!

A nice place indeed!
We sure liked this place. My wife and I, and another couple, were traveling together. Having two bathrooms and two bedrooms sure helped us to have our own "space". The place is cute. We had a packed schedule/adventure of things to do in our 2 day stay. This cottage was a good "home base" for us. Oh how I wished we had time to just hang out in the backyard patio ... pretty/decorative lights, big patio, an old water tower of some sort to add to the scenery, peaceful, overall the yard was amazing, we had flowering bushes to see/experience, and the big redwood(?) stump was fun to stand on for a photo op. The full kitchen was good for us for breakfast's and making picnic lunches, we splurged on going out for suppers. We were not very observant of the coffee maker and coffee grounds, maybe add a comment in the welcome binder for a reminder. The owners were oh so responsive when when we had an issue with the driveway gate opening .. we called both phone numbers, Ed came out within ~5 minutes to fix the issue and we were then quickly on our way for local adventures. We did like the photo book about the renovations and their 'life/love story'. You sure did a great renovation ... good for us and for your community! If we are in the Fort Bragg area again, we would rent your cottage again. Overall ... a nice place to stay and vacation in the area. Thanks!

The house was pristine and in a great location to explore Ft Bragg. The kitchen is well outfitted and the place is super comfortable. Very well maintained! It is a gorgeous and very private property that was perfect for a get away with my friend and infant daughter. We especially enjoyed the deer that frequented the yard each day. The owners were very communicative and welcoming. I would absolutely stay there again.

Family of three spending a few days away in the country and this property delivered. The house is detailed to perfection with everything we needed - the kitchen is immaculately stocked with all appliances big and small. The grounds themselves are worth exploring- deer playing in the back yard, apple trees flowering, and the sounds of swaying trees. We will be back!

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.
