This was the perfect post Mendocino Woodlands camp experience! It had a fantastic view of the coast from the porch. With a hot tub, and very comfortable bed, and a very convenient location for beaches and hiking, this was a superb place to stay.

Lovely weekend in Mendocino

We love this property in Albion. It's on a secluded bluff, only 15-20 minutes from Mendocino. Beautiful view of the ocean, great hot tub. The house itself is cozy and sweet if a bit rustic.

Beautiful Getaway

The view from the house is stunning- both during the day and at night for sunset and stargazing. The hot tub was very enjoyable, the kitchen was very nice and open, the shower was great, and the bed was very comfortable. It was a perfect stay.

Beautiful location, cozy house

We loved our stay at this house on the coast. Overall, the amenities worked well for us. The deck is a little unstable, so we just had to watch our step walking around the deck. But we enjoyed watching the waves and sunsets everyday from the deck chairs. Would definitely stay here again.
