Welcome to the Bridge House. Perched on the cliffs south of Albion River, the house is the perfect hub for couples looking for a romantic getaway or families seeking a home away from home with access to beaches and outdoor activities.

The space
The Bridge House was built in 1908 and functioned originally as Newgard's Store on old Highway One, which ran down to and across the Albion River. Beautifully expanded and restored in 2001, and updated in 2015, the home boasts redwood construction, wainscoting, a 10-foot ceiling in the living/kitchen area, two bedrooms, a back parlor, two bathrooms and full kitchen. It is surrounded by lush gardens brimming with coast-loving plants in bloom throughout the seasons.

Perched on the cliffs on the south-east side of the Albion River Bridge -- the last wooden trestle bridge on Highway One -- the Bridge House offers birds-eye views of the Albion River and Bay. Lie in bed and listen to the waves crash against the wooden bridge timbers or sit on the deck and follow the birds gliding the currents. Sunsets are spectacular from the Albion Cove where you can find the fossilizing remnants of the logging railroad. Like kayaks or canoes? Walk down to Pacific Union College to rent a water exploration vehicle. If you have your own watercraft, head over the bridge to the "Flats" and launch for an up- or down-river ride for a nominal launch fee.

This is a great retreat for a family vacation, romantic weekend, or fun with friends. Located just seven miles from the village of Mendocino, the Bridge House is close to beaches, kayaking, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and much more. The Mendocino coast offers myriad activities for young, old and those in between! A short walk from the Albion store, which stocks fine wines, deli items, and just about anything you could possibly need, the house is also just a short walk from fine dining at the Ledford House.

The downstairs bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed with a pillow-top mattress and cozy cotton linens. It is connected to a bathroom with a shower, claw foot tub for two, and vanity. Up the wooden stairs, you'll find another queen-size bed with your own private balcony, comfort on a pillow-top mattress, and bathroom with claw foot tub, handheld shower (no separate shower stall) and vanity. Radiant heat throughout the house provides comfort in any season.

The kitchen is stocked with some of the not-so-usual suspects: Italian five burner stove, electric oven, electric kettle, French press coffee pot; drawer dishwasher; fridge. We provide plates, cutlery, cookware, wine and beer glasses, etc.
