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.

Everything was great - just issues with water
Came to stay here for a 3 day weekend with my father. We both found everything comfortable and while it took a while to heat the place up, it was very cozy once things got to a warmer temp. This house is a 10 mins drive away from a lot of great areas of Mendocino and Fort Bragg which was very convenient. We also appreciated the board game selection!One large issue for us was that the water was dark yellow. Our first notice of this was with the toilet because it looked like someone had forgotten to flush, but really that was the color of the tank water. But when we realized this was also the same color that came out of the sink and shower, that gave us a little bit of ick. It made us opt out of using the coffee maker or drinking the tap water in general. I'm assuming this is a rust issue or something similar. We took some video/photos of this but I don't see an option to attach here. If this had been fixed it would have been a 5/5 for us!

Great mini vacation place
Once we got the house warm it was nice and cozy. Loved the upgrades in the kitchen, especially the coffee maker. Bring in drinking water.Will book again! This was our third time here. Very reasonable rates and lovely grounds surrounding the house. Also no HOST house hovering nearby!

Forest House
We all loved this home. Absolutely beautiful, rustic yet with comfort and beautiful design, the natural landscape and proximity to jug handle and Fort Bragg were all totally optimal. The little children felt at home and slept soundly. I think we will try to come back here before too long.Just a side note for our hosts: we did find an animal carcass in the front/side yard by the swings. It seemed to be in a state of advanced decay. Not sure if there is anything to be done about that, but I would want them to know.

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!

Meh..better in pics
Nice place but I went even mention the pond area ..not accessible. Couldn't sleep in past 6am..the blinds weren't able to be drawn no coverings for top windows and 2 of 3 windows wdnt open latches are broken. The front walkway is covered in sticky weeds kept sticking to my shoe laces and socks ..the back deck has sticky leaves. The tub spout came apart 1st day when trying to shower...contacted owner ..no response back entire trip ..we were able to put it back together ..some coffee would of been nice. But overall was okay place nothing special about it tho Checkoutlist appears they want you to do the cleaning for next person to arrive not sure why the service fee was included we didn't get any .

The hosts were lovely and easy to reach. We had to reschedule within 24 hours due to COVID. Cathy, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. The house was clean, cute, and very comfortable.

We escaped the holiday frenzy for a peaceful retreat amongst the leafy greenery. The large garden and plentiful trees made for a secluded, restful trip, with the sound of frogs in the pond to serenade us at night. The house suited our needs well and we enjoyed staying there.
