We were tucked away in the woods with great amenities... bathroom included. There is a beautiful tree on the campsite that made the whole experience magical. And my pup was free to run and around and bring me sticks. I will definitely come back again!"

The campsite, nestled in the heart of a stunning forest, is a haven for those seeking tranquility and nature's embrace. Guests consistently highlight the cozy and well-maintained cabins, with many appreciating the warmth from the wood-burning stoves on chilly nights. The communal kitchen and amenities are well-equipped, adding to the comfort of the stay.

Mushroom Cabin

All the good things the other reviewers wrote are true. Baby Banana Slug Farm is an excellent value and base camp location if you are visiting the Mendocino area. The hosts are sweet and kind people, and it felt so good to be among the tall trees on the property. I love the mushroom cabin. It is the most private of the 3 lodging options, which is located the furthest away from the other cabins, kitchen, and wash room. That being said, it’s not a super long walk to the bathroom, but it might not be close enough for those who need to get there asap when they wake up, in which case, they should choose one of the other two cabins instead. The property is cool and shady, with good energy. I felt very safe and would gladly stay there again.

Redwood Retreat

Absolutely loved staying at Nathin’s place! His cabin is so charming and cozy, and his land is absolutely magical. Kitchen was well equipped, and the wood burning stove kept the house perfectly toasty on some pretty cold nights. Can’t wait to go back soon!

Redwood Retreat

My wife, our dog, and I recently stayed at this beautiful log cabin and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how immaculately clean the cabin was—it felt so well cared for, which made settling in that much more enjoyable. The space itself was perfect—plenty of room for all of us to relax, but still warm and inviting. The wood-burning fireplace was the highlight of our stay, making the entire cabin feel incredibly cozy. Whether we were curled up with a book or just enjoying the flickering fire, it created the perfect atmosphere for a peaceful retreat. The cabin is nestled on gorgeous forested land, which made for an incredibly tranquil experience. Waking up to the sounds of nature and being surrounded by towering trees was exactly what we needed to unwind. If you're looking for a peaceful, cozy, and impeccably clean escape in Mendocino, we can't recommend this cabin enough.
