Elegant farmhouse home on beautiful apple orchard

Fort Bragg, CA, United States

5 guests
2 bedrooms
2 bathrooms

Modern farmhouse cottage set on 5 private acres including an apple orchard, original water tower, outbuildings and several majestic cypress and cedar trees. The home offers elegance and comfort rarely available on the coast. You will find that any stay here is as much about enjoying the land as it is the house. Once an active homestead, this property is simply a delight to experience.

Good to know

The recently renovated home has two similarly sized bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, a living room and a modern kitchen/diner that opens onto the south facing patio, complete with fire pit. The bedrooms each have a queen bed, accommodating 4 guests. 1 additional guest can be accommodated on a single fold up bed, which can be set up on request (prior to arrival) in either of the bedrooms. A spacious patio links the home to the water tower, which offers a hammock retreat space. This is the place to watch the wildlife in the morning, or enjoy the sun setting on the treetops by the fire pit in the evening. The house has been meticulously refurbished using old growth redwood, salvaged from the home during the remodel. Featuring many modern amenities, the renovated space still honors the property's 100 year-plus homestead history. Internet service is provided by Comcast/Xfinity high speed cable, ideal for guests planning to work during their stay. An on site washer and dryer can be made available for guests on longer stays. There are 13 well established apple trees on the property, from which guests can enjoy picking their own apples during harvest season, September through November. Each season though brings its own natural joys, such as the apple blossom in March, the magnificent rhododendrons in April or the foxgloves in June.

We had a wonderful three night stay at this beautiful property. My 2.5 year old daughter loved exploring the grounds and relaxing in the hammock. The house was comfortable and well stocked. Ideal location in close proximity to all the main sights. We absolutely loved reading about the renovation in the book in the house and particularly enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful backyard. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Jo’s place. We appreciated having the binder with all the instructions and suggestions for places to go and restaurants. The location is ideal-near the botanical gardens, state parks & beaches, Mendocino & downtown Fort Bragg. The place is a beautifully remodeled house, many comforts, loved to sit on the patio in the back, the kitchen was great for cooking and much land around the house. Tranquil setting. Great place to sit and read and write. We enjoyed the games. We appreciated the two full bathrooms. The host was a great communicator.
