A unique private home milled camping cabin designed and built by the host. Tranquility on the edge of a whimsical forest full of Redwood trees, Pines, Oaks, Hemlocks, Rhododendrons, Ferns, wildflowers and mushrooms. The cabin is on our 8 acre property, only about 7 minutes to the historic village of Mendocino. Beaches and trails close by and waiting for you to explore! Hear the ocean waves crashing in the distance, if you listen closely you may even hear the seals chatting. In the spring see the tall brilliant pink rhododendrons bloom.

The Fox Fern cabin offers a serene and cozy retreat nestled among the redwoods, perfect for those seeking a tranquil escape. Guests praised the cabin's craftsmanship and its peaceful setting, with the sounds of nature providing a soothing backdrop. The wood stove was a highlight for many, providing warmth and ambiance during cooler evenings. Some reviews noted the lack of certain amenities, such as Wi-Fi and running water, which might be a consideration for those looking for more modern conveniences.

Serenity awaiits....

Great location, an easy drive to all of the beaches, shops, restaurants and activities in the area. Yet, it's tucked away, in a private, redwood draped serene setting. The cabin is super cute and cool. Bring your fire starting skills, but fear not, the hosts will take great care of you if you have issues and they offer up firewood. Be sure to order up some eggs from their farm.

Could not recommend enough! ✨🍃🍄

What an amazing little spot! So peaceful and cozy. Close to hikes, beaches, and Mendocino Village, yet we felt like we were in our own world. The forest smells and sounds left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The wood burning stove kept us warm at night and was great for making coffee in the morning. Decorative touches, adorable. Highly recommended!

Amazing & Magical

An absolutely magical, calm, and sweet place to rest and play. Staying in the beautiful redwood cabin, among the redwoods, in the rain was a dream. The most soothing sound I've ever heard. Really couldn't imagine a more lovely way to relax and be with the earth. Super clear instructions to get to the cabin and on how to care for the space. Logistically, it was a very easeful stay. Fireplace stove was everything and brilliantly high enough off the ground to be child safe for the little ones. We used the grill outside too and played with some clay a bit closer down to the creek!
