Large home on private 14 acre redwood meadow

There was no kindling, newspaper or fire starters provided and nothing in the listing said we needed to bring those items. Some firewood was provided by the wood burning stove but not enough for 3 days during the winter. The listing said there was firewood in the shed by the stove but it was empty. The ax was dull and couldn’t cut wood.Many of the lightbulbs were burned out including the majority of the overhead lightsThe interior was clean but the deck had lots of bird poop on the tables (gross) and floor that had not been cleaned up, in fact a tablecloth was put on top of one that already had poop on it!

We loved our quiet retreat here before Thanksgiving. The house is clean and spacious, the kitchen is amazing, and the kids loved learning how to make and tend to a wood fire in the stove. We explored the coast and the beach, enjoyed the town of Gualala and my favorite--we foraged for mushrooms and cooked a delicious chanterelle stew with our finds. I'd recommend this place to a family or group.

Went for my daughter’s birthday. The kitchen was excellent. I cooked all our meals and everything to make gourmet meals was on hand. Loved the stove the plates were gorgeous and everything else was great. The rooms were nice and comfortable. House was cozy once I got the fire going.

We had a lovely visit here. It was so relaxing and quiet, surrounded by woods without another soul around. We enjoyed ambling in the meadow with our dogs and breathing in the fresh clean air. The cabin is very comfortable and suited our needs very well, with a comfortable living room and a spacious kitchen. Yet in spite of being off the beaten path, it's quite close to the restaurants in Gualala, Cooks Beach (recommended), and walks along the bluff overlooking the ocean. I'd definitely come back!

Beautiful property with nice outdoor spaces for kids to play and explore. Great downstairs space in kitchen, dining room, and living room for family to gather. One bedroom with king bed. The other 4 queen beds are in an open loft, with a 3/4 length wall dividing the open loft in half.

We had a lovely weekend away from home. The house is in a beautiful area and there was plenty of room. The place was clean and welcoming for all of us.

Absolutely beautiful property!! Very private. Well built cabin with wrap around porch. Updated kitchen with new appliances. We reserved this place for a long weekend with family and friends in June. Only source of heat was wood burning stove. Decor is a bit dated especially lighting and no covering in windows which was great during daylight but not so good at night. Needed more towels. Very peaceful serene environment!!

The home was beautiful, the property was beautiful & peaceful. We all loved it & had a memorable time. The owner was excellent on communication.My only complaint is the cleanliness of the inside & out. The outside deck & furniture would have benefited with a leaf blower & wipe down of cushions. The inside had not been vacuumed, dusted, windows inside had cobwebs & dead flies. The kitchen needed a scrub down before we used it. I tried not to look up at the lights over the kitchen island. I don’t think anyone has cleaned them in a long time. There were quite a few things that were broken & needs replaced or fixed. There was a previous guest’s boxers & socks behind the Master bedroom door. Bugs on the sheets in MB also.The whole house smelled musty, we had to air it out. There was portable fans to use but were so dirty we did not use them. The main bathroom shower curtain had soap scum all over.One of the outbuildings had a broken window with glass everywhere.It’s too bad the cleaning company is not doing their job because it is a beautiful peaceful place that we would love to stay in again but only if these things are addressed. The owner probably has no idea that they are paying for a cleaning service & they are doing are not doing their job!My family & I were in Gualala to spread my husband’s ashes & to be together & celebrate his life. We did not let all this ruin our stay but it could have been so much better.Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home

We were able to relax and regenerate at your beautiful house and property! We enjoyed the fireplace, TV and well stocked kitchen! We spent hours exploring the Mendocino coast and hope to visit again soon. Comfy beds

Our group of family and friends have gathered here twice a year for several years. The large living room, kitchen and dining area give plenty of room to relax. The property is very private and quiet.

The house is nice and on a very nice wooded property that is quiet and private and is pretty much as described in the listing. There are a couple of crows that were hanging around and a rabbit also paid a visit. The beach and river is only a short drive away. We stayed in the area last year in Anchor Bay and really enjoy the area. You will need to make sure to bring toiletries and some kitchen items like sauces and ketchup and some seasonings. Bring mosquito repellent, it may have been that the weather was even warmer than normal out this way, but there were a lot of mosquitoes in the evenings aside from the last night we were there as it was much cooler. There are some windows missing screens as is one of the sliders, we found a small fan that helped pull in cool air at night and there are ceiling fans, if it is going to be especially warm I recommend bringing a couple of extra fans. I'm sure normally it isn't as warm as it was while we were there so this may not be as much of a thought normally, the beach didn't even have any fog until the last day we were there. The price is reasonable and is on our list as a place to possibly visit again. Thanks again!

Great quiet location in the woods with large living space. Very comfortable.
