You will also be close to Big River beach with its white sands, hidden coves and stunning nature trail (Beach towels and chairs are available on request).

If you prefer your walks with a side of shopping, stroll Main Street before crossing over to Mendocino Headlands State Park, which is crisscrossed by footpaths, all with amazing coastal views.

North of Mendocino, chase waterfalls at Russian Gulch State Park or visit the Point Cabrillo Light Station to marvel at the craftsmanship of the beacon and enjoy exhibits about life on the Mendocino Coast at the turn of the 20th Century. Farther north, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens boast over 40 acres of beautiful plants, trees and flowers, including the famous dahlia gardens, rhododendrons, and succulents. Fort Bragg (about 15 minutes north of Mendocino) has murals, art galleries, restaurants, community events, and shops, as well as world-renowned breweries.

When it’s time to call it a night, the plush queen bed with a Tempurpedic mattress, will be there to welcome you to dreamland. A peaceful refuge, the bedroom has sliding glass doors to the patio and backyard. The bathroom features high-end fixtures, a Toto toilet with heated seat and bidet, including a large shower.

Greet each day (and the redwoods) relaxed and refreshed. Savor the scent of the fresh forest air and let the sound of the trees in the breeze sing to you on your storybook vacation at Green Tree Cottage!
