Description of the Mendocino vacation cottage rental

Ravenswood Cottage (formerly known as Fernwood Cottage) is a charming guest cottage set in a redwood meadow one mile from the Pacific, where you can rest and unwind in a serene and private setting. Do nothing or explore the magnificent Mendocino coast. Located 6 miles north of Fort Bragg — home of the Skunk train — and 15 miles north of Mendocino Village, an historic art colony with fine restaurants and art galleries. Two miles to MacKerricher State Park with its easy headlands walking trails, horseback riding, and other gorgeous Pacific beaches to walk and play on. Sleep to the sounds of silence, or occasionally, to the sound of the surf. Enjoy views of our huge redwood trees and gardens.

Our cottage makes a perfect artist or sabbatical retreat and can be made available monthly for a negotiated price that includes utilities and firewood, cable tv and WiFi.

Fully equipped kitchen, double bed plus single couch and single futon. DVD, CD and VCR player. Original art and lots of good books. Fireplace (and oil heating, if needed). Sleeps 1-3 people. We provide the makings of a simple breakfast: coffee, tea, bread, butter, and jam.

Hosts Irene and Frank welcome your inquiries and will provide touring advice.

Small pets permitted but with cleaning deposit required.

Every season is delightful here. Many of our guests come in summer to cool off from hotter areas. (80 degrees F is a heat wave here).

There is fishing and whale watching at Noyo harbor, our world class Botanical gardens, and Mendocino village (15 miles south) offers fine dining and galleries.

Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Mendocino, California

Write a review
 Stellar!, October 26, 2009
By Sheila Anthony (Los Angeles)
My hosts couldn't have been nicer. It's such a gorgeous place -- blissfully quiet and off-the-beaten-track, but a short drive to the beach. Redwoods right out the back door. Also has quick access to Mendecino. Lots to do. Wish I'd stayed longer. Clean, neat, yet artful. Thoughtful touches abound. I hope to get back next year.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
We've had nothing but glowing responses from our guests. One wrote: "There are just so many things we loved about this cottage. The ART, the simple elegance of layout and furniture. The books. The surrounding redwoods... The tea and coffee we couldn't have done without. This is exactly the kind of experience that makes you want to move out of the city!"
