A place guests keep coming back to

Many guests return year after year, calling the property magical and planning their next visit
This extraordinary property is situated on the Mendocino coast with an unobstructed view where the Navarro River reaches the Pacific Ocean. It consists of the main house (cabin) with king + queen beds and guest house (studio) with king bed. Conveniently located 15 minutes south of Mendocino, this property offers privacy and space to spread out. Horse shoes, hot tub and BBQ/ Fire pit area. Well behaved pets welcome! 240 and 140V plugs available in driveway - bring your own plug for car charging.

The space
This cabin + guest house are great for families that want a little separation. The space can accommodate up to 9 guests. However, for maximum comfort, 6 guests is a more ideal number.

Please note the bed and room situation: The main house has two bedrooms. The master suite has 1 king bed with attached bathroom and the second bedroom has a queen + a custom Jr twin FloBed built into the wall - good for a kid or young adult. There are also 2 x jr twin fold out mattresses for the floor in any room. Extra sheets, twin duvet cover and pillows available.

The guest house has 1 king bed and a full size pullout in the living room. There is a door separating the bedroom.

The property provides plenty of space to spread out but since there are technically 3 “rooms”, larger groups may feel cramped for sleeping. You can have up to 9 guests and we don’t mind if you don’t -- we just ask that you help conserve water since we are on a well.

Each room has direct views of the ocean where the Navarro river meets the Pacific with lots of privacy. Our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay from enjoying your morning cup of coffee to listening to the waves break as you take in the view from the luxurious Saatva mattress.

Minimum 2 nights on weekend and 3 nights during the week. Rates are based on occupancy. See below.

About the Property:
The main house was built in the 70’s by a master mason and fabricator. Recently renovated with a 'slow' pace in mind. The Navarro House features a cabin feel yet still has everything needed to enjoy your stay including HIGH SPEED internet and SmartTV (no live TV). The open concept living room and kitchen features a striking stone fireplace (gas), dining table for 6 and everything needed to make a nice meal. The master bedroom features a wood burning fireplace (working), king size bed and private bathroom with shower. The second bedroom features a queen size bed with full size futon pullout and the main house bathroom includes a bathtub. Additional sleeping in the main house consists of two jr. twin fold out mattresses. Pack n' play with mattress is available for your use. We also have kids books, loads of games, puzzles and some kids toys including beach stuff.

The guest house sits about 100' below the main house. It's a cozy and bright space with kitchen/ living room on one side and bedroom with door on the other. The bathroom in the guest house was recently remodeled featuring a backlit mirror and overhead "rain shower" with option for handheld shower head. The living room includes a Smart TV (no cable), gas burning fireplace and new couch from Room and Board. The couch opens up to a nice full size bed. Great for one couple or a family with 1 child. The dinning table has seating for four.

Both spaces feature simple kitchens and coffee beans are provided. Or, pick from several close restaurants from our guest book for a nice meal out. All bedrooms have direct and unobstructed views and deck access.

Our hope is that you enjoy every part of your stay from your morning cup of coffee to listening to the waves break as you take in the view from the luxurious king size Saatva mattress.

You will love having the entire property to yourself including the expansive decks, 7 person hot tub and BBQ/ Fire-pit area stocked with wood. There is also a horseshoe pit and hammock.

There is a 1/4 mile trail to the beach but the last 15 feet is down a steep rock. The beach can be accessed, however proceed AT YOUR OWN RISK. At times, the river dams up and beach can be limited and connects to the public side. For easier beach access, drive 5 minutes to the Navarro State Park beach (other side of the river) or any beach north including the famous Glass Beach in Fort Bragg.

There is plenty of hiking including the Navarro Point Preserve and Coastal Trail within a 5 minute drive. Take a hike, then soak in the hot tub and get cozy roasting marshmallows next to the fire. Oh, and don't forget to breath in that fresh ocean air and enjoy that view. This is the place to escape the city or take a retreat from the heat inland. The sound of waves (and seals!) amplify off the beach so you may even see our resident eagle and whales (seriously!). This is a special place for our family and our only hope is that you create memories with friends and family and enjoy the magic of the Navarro property.
