The house was fabulous. The backyard made for a peaceful evening when we grilled dinner and sat by the fire. The house was clean and beautifully maintained. Would absolutely stay here again

Wonderful stay. Jo was fantastic with communication and made the entire experience easy. The property is amazing and they did a wonderful job with the home. It’s beautiful and very well put together. We only stayed one night, but it left a great impression and we would love to return for a longer visit in the future. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful spot! The farmhouse is comfortable and has been wonderfully updated. The plentiful outdoor space was peaceful, and perfect for our school age kids. Loved the hammock and fire pit! The house was a perfect base to explore Mendocino. We’d love to stay again when we return someday!

Jo’s very friendly and always communicates about the instructions before hand. We requested a foldable twin bed and when we arrived, it was right there. The property is also gorgeous. The backyard is huge and a family of deers occasionally visit. My kids are super excited to see them and always looking for them the first thing in the morning.

The rating really speaks for itself. During our stay, we could see black-tailed deer almost anytime, which was a huge highlight for my son. The location isn’t right by the ocean, but it’s only about a 5-minute drive to the coast, grocery stores, and some great restaurants. What impressed me most was the cleanliness. Given that the house is surrounded by nature and near a forest, I didn’t expect it to be spotless—but it exceeded my expectations. There were no ants or flies at all, and everything was incredibly clean. You can tell the host pays attention to detail—even areas like behind the TV were spotless, and utensils were neatly aligned. My family had a truly unforgettable experience here.

We absolutely loved this place. It felt so homey and welcoming from the moment we arrived — pristine cleanliness, a wonderful kitchen (that stove!), comfortable beds, and nice bathrooms. Everything you could want. The backyard was a highlight, deer out back in the morning, a hammock to relax in, and total privacy. Beautifully decorated throughout. Jo was wonderfully responsive, both after booking when we had questions about amenities, and even after checkout when we realized my AirPods had fallen out in the hammock. That kind of hospitality really stands out. We would absolutely love to return someday! 💕

We absolutely enjoyed our stay with Jo! The house was so cute and comfortable. There were super thoughtful touches throughout the house and it was spotless! The grounds around were gorgeous and despite the poor weather my kids had so much fun running around. It was a quiet and peaceful retreat and exactly what we were looking for. Jo was great at communicating and had very clear instructions. We loved it! Thank you Jo!
