Meadows, ponds and walking trails on grounds were perfect. And short drive to parks and Mendocino were easy and convenient. House was what we needed for the three of us. Good space to relax and well-equipped kitchen. Maybe could have been a bit cleaner in places, but you’re out in nature for most of the day so a little dust isn’t a big thing. ##### John A.

We really enjoyed our stay at Meadowlark. Our boys loved exploring the property with trails and ponds, and we had everything we needed inside the house. Fires in the fire pit were a definite highlight. We will definitely be back! One recommendation (because I always want my kids to sleep longer): blackout curtains in the bedrooms. :) ##### Megan H.

It was a great experience overall! Very good location, accurate description on how to locate and access the property. All the amenities as described, it was quite clean as well. The internet was super slow, but it was actually a good sign for our heads to disconnect from the world and enjoy the nature with the friends! 3 minutes drive from downtown Mendocino and about 8 minutes drive from Fort Bragg. Very close to Russian gulch park with a beautiful waterfall- which we visited on our last day. To summarize, a very nice place to stay for few days to clean the head! ##### Daniel S.

I can’t rave enough about Peter, the property owner, and the communication between him and our family to coordinate for our intimate wedding. He was flexible and accommodating to our needs. Our wedding guests could not stop talking about the beautiful scenery of our ceremony and reception. The cabins were able to accommodate myself and my husband, as well as our immediate family. Everything was clean and the kitchens are loaded with dishware! We are so honored to have been married among such gorgeous nature. The wildlife was bustling and we spent our first day there hiking and birdwatching. We were even lucky enough to watch the October supermoon! Whether you are having a wedding or just a weekend retreat with family and friends, this is your spot. Hearing the ocean waves in the distance at night was the cherry on top. Thank you Peter & family for making our wedding dreams come true! ##### Kayla B.
