Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cottage in Great Location The Danish word “hygge” is a perfect description of the feeling of contentment and coziness that comes from the comfort and warmth that this beautiful cottage affords. The interior is rich with earth tones and pleasant trim around the door and windows. It is very warm, and I especially enjoyed the heating emanating from the floor. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well laid out with all of the cooking amenities needed to make a nice meal. Gabriele and Richard are delightful hosts who sought to ensure our stay was comfortable. The setting of this cottage is beautiful, just outside the Van Damme State Park. We took advantage of the Fern Valley hike that starts just down the road from the cottage, and it is a beautiful trail that is worth experiencing. The nearby town of Mendocino is charming. The ocean views are spectacular as are the forests. This is a real gem and is worth trying out. ##### Dennis H.

Location was set in the coastal woods...so quiet! Loved that it was away from the busier tourist area! I loved the style of this home, and the extra attention to detail that makes this place so special. Very close to wonderful restaurants and of course Mendocino. This is the perfect place to have a romantic get away and enjoy the lovely North Coast of California! I would recommend this to anyone!!

The Red Barn cottage is five stars for comfort, design details, amenities, bedding, kitchen, bathroom, size, and overall beauty. Gabi and Richard couldn't be more welcoming throughout our 3-night stay. A huge storm hit while we were there, and they were so thoughtful, making us breakfast and helping us find a way out of the area to Hwy 101. All the rivers had flooded and the major routes were inaccessible. For us the location was perfect, near hiking and redwoods, and a short drive to Little River and Mendocino. Do note it is not on the coast. We can't think of anything negative to say. Will stay again and recommend to friends. ##### Mikkel A.
