Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is a historic birder's dream. Originally owned by legendary conservationist Jacques Helfer a renowned author of "99 Birds of the Mendocino Coast" and "The Natural History of Mendocino." And yet less than 2 miles north of the famous town of Mendocino, you feel like you are worlds away. Numerous beaches, Surfing, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!
Set off of Highway one, you can hear some highway noise outside the cottages but you cannot see the road or other houses. We have one security camera on the garage facing the driveway (facing away from the house) for everyone's safety. This property is close to amenities including grocery stores, pharmacies, shops, and medical clinics in both Mendocino (2 miles away) and Fort Bragg (7 miles away) yet is like staying in a private park.

Nicely remodeled cottage, private and comfortable. Had good interaction with the owner when we had a problem with the plug in heaters. Between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg so were able to drive to both. For the next renters, don't forget to bring your own bathing soap and shampoo. I assumed it was supplied as is usually the case, but it was written in the instructions which I did not read carefully.
Would recommend for anyone who would like a tranquil setting.
The cottage was perfect. Spacious living area and well equipped kitchen. The surrounding property was fun to explore with all the trails and ponds. Quiet and serene. I love the beautiful, rugged coastline, tall trees and cool spots to hike. The Mendocino Botanical gardens were incredible.
This was my first vacation rental home, and it was absolutely the best experience. We will definitely stay here again vs the hotels.
We spent the weekend in the Ft Bragg Mendocino area doing all the usual stuff, avoiding the heat of the Valley.
Great location.
The cottage is exactly as photographed and described. Excellent location to all things of Mendocino and Fort Bragg. All necessities (extra blankets, towels, kitchen items, heaters, fans, etc) are provided. I appreciated the restaurant and attraction information. We hiked the property in late afternoon. Be cautious of the many banana slugs on the trail. If we visit this area again, i would surely choose this property.
What we liked: *The cabin was beautifully clean - probably the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in - big thanks to the housekeeping team. *The setting is one of a kind - you have a pond, meadow and forest to explore and you have them all to yourselves. It's great if you like nature photography. *Great communication from our host - there were power outages across the area two days into our stay and he responded to text messages promptly. Good to know: *We were there in March so we caught the tail end of the cold, wet weather. The stove heats the central lounge well, but the bedrooms got really cold at night, especially the twin. (There were space heaters but we preferred not to run them while we were sleeping. With hindsight I think we should have kept the bedroom doors open while we slept). *The cabin is a stone's throw from the highway. You can hear the sound of cars passing from inside and you can see them too if you stand by the lounge window. It's pretty easy to ignore but it might be an issue for some. *The beds are short. The kids were fine, the adults were a bit uncomfortable. But overall it's a great location and well worth a visit!
Everyhing was great like always. Perfect time of year, not many people at Big River Beach. 3rd time staying here, now all 3 cabins. All are great. Love the location, away from town
While I had a bit of trouble, eventually resolved, with the wifi, this proved to be a fantastic place. The cabin I stayed in, Seaglass, is one of three set less than 100 feet from Hwy 1. Pines and firs intervene, and the sound of passing cars is not bad. Mostly, this is 50 acres of coniferous woodland with a large meadow and at least five lovely ponds, several of which lure ducks and a great blue heron. The paths through the woods are glorious, lush with mushrooms, moss, and violets, with spectacular Bishop pines and Douglas firs overhead, as well as redwoods, eucalyptus (!), and allegedly dawn redwood and sequoias. There is nothing finer than standing on the edge of a two-acre meadow as the sun lights up treetops then the frosty grasses. This place will become even better as a campaign to remove Portuguese broom (Cytisus striatus) begins to make inroads in this aggressive invader.
