It's on a huge forested piece of land with amazing trails right at your doorstep! The cottage was perfect for 2 people, cozy and easy to get to state parks and the town of Mendocino with a short 5 -7 minute drive. We are very outdoor-minded people and hiked every day in the nearby parks or right on the land. The cottage grounds are very simple, but the windows look out on beautiful trees and the forest. Highway one is very close by, but it didn't bother us. There is a nice little gas stove and we were very warm. ![Picnic table for outdoor meals.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c688609f-1749-4d8e-9142-cdac894e342a-1757477176926.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Kitchen table for eating and art work.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e75ccdc-c691-4d4c-a36f-4b032c6cf2b4-1757477176739.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hiking out your door step!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cef6f772-d9f1-4d9d-98a6-5863b3760027-1757477177259.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cozy and comfortable interior. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fedcef31-0fb4-45aa-b541-b729984c52c7-1757477176093.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Priscilla H.

We enjoyed our stay (3 nights, 4 days). The positives are that the property is very peaceful as the property name suggests. The nature trails on the property are worth the time to explore. Even though it is close to the highway, we did not even notice. We played games and frisbee with the kids courtesy of the owner. There are some improvements needed: new pots & pans, new knife set, and a new kitchen faucet. Since we enjoy cooking, this would make a huge difference. ##### Martin C.

We also did a day trip to the Redwoods. We would love to come back again! ##### Kimberly C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon R.

My kids are still lamenting on having left “the cabin” over 2 weeks ago. The location was great- in close proximity to both Mendocino and Fort Bragg and right across HWY 1 to State Parks and beaches. I recommend Caspar Beach out of all of them. The cabin was clean and well appointed. There is laundry onsite. Everything was great. ##### Shannon R.

My husband and I stayed here with our 7 and 5 year old daughters. The property is amazing - there are tons of trails and ponds that we all loved exploring. It was so fun for our kids to be surrounded by nature and they were in heaven running around on the trails. The cabin itself was comfortable and cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was great - the property is only a couple of miles from downtown Mendocino, and about 15 minutes from Fort Bragg. We only stayed for a weekend, but we would all love to come back for longer next time! ##### Gina A. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### NANCY M.

The house was built by a bird watcher who chronicled all the birds in the area. Staying there made our time in Mendocino seem more anchored in nature and more authentic. The rooms are larger than they appear in the photos. Exceeded expectations. ##### NANCY M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Terri F.

Great selection of books, games & helpful notebook w hikes & menus for excellent local restaurants. Don't forget the Coast can be chilly even in summer. Cottage heating had to be handled w the delivery of space heaters. ##### Terri F. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura M.

The best part of my stay was the feeling of relaxation whenever I came back from an outing. Comfortable bed, roomy kitchen to prepare my meals, great lighting to read by and welcomed quiet in the evening. The long loop I took on the nature trail was everything I expected. Expansive meadow, gorgeous pond with lily pads and the forest of redwood that created its own silence and comfort. Peter was great. Always ready to answer my questions and keep me informed. I would stay here again! ##### Laura M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yolanda R. Oct 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Cute, but..... The property itself is nice. The isssue were the beds, uncomfortable and lumpy. Would not stay here agan because of this. We were even thinking of getting a hotel to have a goid nights sleep. Also no TV available. ##### Yolanda R. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike S. Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise in Mendocino We left 3 weeks ago and we miss it so much.1 week wasn’t enough to explore the property and surrounding area. The home is so cozy and welcoming, while the property is vast and exciting. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and extend our stay. We hope we treated the home with respect. The home was very clean, which is important for me to be comfortable. One of the beds was a bit loud with each move we made and a pinch too stiff for my liking, but the other perfect. The couches were so comfortable and perfect to snuggle up and read one of the many books that are on the bookshelf, or rest from your hike. We did have Wi-fi, while resting we took our small laptop and were able to stream from Hulu and we took our sound bar to listen to music from Spotify. We didn’t cook too much, since we fell in love with the GoodLife Cafe and delicious food options around. Though, we did bring our own spices and oils to have options. It was so much fun getting to know the different paths. Especially seeing the wildlife, many banana slugs, deer, birds- like hawks, stellar’s blue jays, bats, and chipmunks. I wish I saw owls, but they probably saw me. I’m just learning how to be a birder. You can always go down to Fort Bragg and visit the botanical garden on Wednesdays at 8am to join them on a bird walk. The stars out there are one of the reasons we love Mendocino. The clear view of the Milky Way is mystical and in this location with the bats flying overhead was special. ##### Mike S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Molly R.

We stayed in the Azul cottage and it was perfect for our trip. The meadows on site were pretty and the hiking trails were fun to explore.

Our host Peter was fantastic and answered our questions very quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area! ##### PGolf2 Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Golf-Resort-Palm-Springs.h351.Hotel-Information) > > [V Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-V.h13065796.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > > [Azure Palm Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Azure-Palm-Hot-Springs.h64615882.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Bacara.h523758.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > > [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > > [Indian Wells Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Indian-Wells-Resort-Hotel.h14026.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Miracle Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miracle-Springs-Resort-Spa.h22765.Hotel-Information) > > [Fantasy Springs Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fantasy-Springs-Resort-Casino.h1138282.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Palm-Desert-Resort.h890044.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Breezes Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Breezes-Resort.h18709.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information)
