The Cottage at Mendocino Farmhouse is part of a family property in a redwood forest just minutes from the village of Mendocino and the ocean. The cottage has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Step outside your door do a beautiful garden with flowers in season that are a haven for butterflies and hummingbirds. We even have a small flock of bantam chickens in the garden for your enjoyment. Come visit soon and see for yourselves.
This property is truly magical! Margie was the perfect host warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful. She had everything ready for us to settle right in, including coffee, milk, English muffins, butter, and fresh fruit. The cottage itself is absolutely charming, surrounded by beautiful flowers and entertaining chickens that made the setting feel even more special. Weâre so glad we discovered this gem and canât wait to return. Thank you, Margie, for making our stay so wonderful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in this cozy cottage. Having the fireplace and the chicks nearby made it especially fun. It was so peaceful and quiet in the huge redwoods. Margie has thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Having some eggs from the chickens was a nice touch as was the homemade apricot preserves. It was nice to be able to visit with Margie and to learn about the history of the Enchanted Cottage and her family.
Wonderful, charming comfortable cottage with all the amenities including fresh eggs from the chickens just outside the door. Surrounded by a beautiful garden it was secluded and serene. Margie was a fantastic host from our first email to throughout the visit.A special place and close to the town of Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
We were so cozy and comfortable here. There are some great upgrades here (kitchen/bathroom), but they donât take away the charm of the cottage. You are close to Mendocino, but donât get much fog. We enjoyed sitting outside. The flower gardens are amazing. The chickens were out of their coops a couple of days and they are fun to watch. We had some confusion over WiFi password, but thanks to Margieâs quick response, we were able to work it out.
Super gemĂŒtliches Cottage mitten in den Redwoods.Nur wenige Miuten nach Mendocino, umgeben von einem wunderschönen Garten.Hier kann man toll entspannen und einfach nur die Zeit inmitten der Natur genieĂen.
The cottage was adorable! And so well maintained. It was clean with a few necessities as well as niceties (fresh eggs!) left in good supply. The surrounding garden as well as the forest gave it such a romantic, secluded feeling. Would definitely stay again!
You just have to understand that this is a cozy cottage, a little funky. Everything requires a little thought, adaptation. Like creaky floors, well & septic. Surrounded by giant trees and a very well-tended garden. Greeter cat, dog, chickens. Our host, Margie, knows everything about the area. Not like a posh hotel or inn. Pretty much the reason we default to VRBO.
Lovely cottage and garden. We were able to totally relax in this hidden spot tucked away in the forest ! Totally loved the Silky hens and their companions the game hens. I highly recommend this cottage to for a relaxing get away
This is a serene property with lovely outdoor sitting area. This cottage is surrounded by views of redwoods and doug fir trees. It's a very short drive to Mendocino village, and Big River. Inside, the cottage has just about everything you could need. The bed is comfortable. The cottage is well equipped and also well decorated. We've stayed here several times and have enjoyed each visit.
The cottage is very comfortable and Margie is a great host. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. The location is very quiet and just a short drive into the town of Mendocino. The fireplace makes it especially cozy.
Margie provided enough food for a breakfast so we didn't have to shop when we arrived. She was very responsive, communicated everything we needed, and didn't bother us while we were there.
We've stayed here several times and look forward to going back!
My daughter and I enjoyed this lovely cottage in the redwoods. I really appreciated the rambling gardens and it was so sweet to walk out and say good morning to the chickens. We had a fire one night and it was just so cozy and comfortable. Great place for a mother daughter getaway or a couple. Beautiful area with plenty of hiking and restaurants.
You have to stay here to fully appreciate this amazing cottage immersed in the magnificence of the redwoods because words, alone, will not do it justice. The little house is inviting, clean and comfortable and Margie welcomed us with fresh eggs and warm hospitality It is completely private so walking in the backyard felt like strolling through your personal forest. We kept looking up in a 360 manner because the mature redwoods are all around, including one that is 200 or 300 years old! The chickens move about in a quiet, isolationistic manner, so, you must look hard to find them. It was fun to watch them from time to time. We stayed 3 nights during which we prepared all 3 breakfasts and 2 dinners here (all cooking and dining needs were in the cottage) with food from Harvest Market in Mendocino. The last night we ordered take-out from Pattersonâs Pub, which is next door to Harvest Market, and had an amazing burger âat homeâ. Mendocino is less than 10 minutes away (6 minutes per Google), so the stores and restaurants are incredibly convenient. And the west side of Mendocino becomes Mendocino Headlands State Park. This oceanside preserve has magnificent overlooks from its winding trails, complete with crashing waves against rock formations, one of which featured a snoozing seal. Speaking of parks, there are a number of them along with coastal access points and a lighthouse, all short drives away. We canât wait to return.
We loved our stay at the cozy cottage and the beautiful gardens. The cottage had everything we needed and a comfy bed. Thank you Margie for sharing your cottage with us and for the beautiful flower arrangements.
A charming cottage in a sublimely quiet setting with everything you need for a cozy weekend - or longer stay. This cottage offers a comfortable queen-sized bed with extra pillows, a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom with a washer/dryer, and even a fireplace (although we did not use it). Furnishings and decor are lovely, and the cottage is well-maintained and very clean. We really appreciated itâs location off the main highway - very quiet and peaceful, set in a beautiful garden. A perfectly relaxing yet convenient place to stay. Highly recommended!
Weâve visited multiple times over 35 years. In the beginning, there were two cottages (Pine and Cedar) then was converted into a 2 room cottage. It continues to have so much charm and now has the added benefit of a kitchen. We love it here and itâs always hard to leave. The cozy fireplace, reading nooks, gardens, chickens, surrounded by giant redwood trees. It is a gem that is hidden and tucked away, yet just minutes from downtown and the coastline. The host Margie is super hospitable and we look forward to our next visit!
After raising my children here on the family property I ran our bed and breakfast in the house and barn for over 35 years. Along the way, I met some wonderful people some of who came back every year. We even had Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and their son Wyat stay for six weeks while filming the movie Overboard. Nice people. My gardens are important to me and give me much pleasure as do my chickens who give me lots of eggs. I am celebrating living in Mendocino for the past 50 years having moved here in 1971. It's not always been easy but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else and I'm lucky to have my family and friends close by. I'm a happy, lucky person.
