Property details

Come live your magical cottage-core dreams at Green Tree Cottage, a 1-bed, 1-bath vacation home tucked away among towering redwoods in the heart of Mendocino. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic destination that awakens the imagination or for small families looking for a quiet place to recharge, Green Tree Cottage offers seclusion and relaxation a short drive from downtown Mendocino. This home will win your heart with its charm and whimsy, which is paired with a fully-equipped kitchen and a modern, state-of-the-art bathroom. When you arrive, you'll discover a rustic and cozy cottage, with sloped eaves and exposed beams. In the living room, you can browse a selection of books ideal for reading after a long day lounging at the beach or sampling Mendocino's many culinary options. Or, if you prefer to catch up on shows and movies, the comfy couch and big-screen TV have got you covered. The couch can convert into a mattress. In the kitchen, a small table seats up to 4. An electric stove, oven, coffeemaker, tea kettle, refrigerator, and dishwasher come in handy for home-cooked dinners, breakfasts, and afternoon tea. Granite countertops and a stainless-steel sink make meal prep a breeze. From the light fixtures to the plumbing, this home is built with quality craftsmanship and design flourishes to make you feel at home. Situated on Law Road off Gurley Lane, a quiet street east of Highway 1, Green Tree Cottage is a great home base for visiting all the best places on the Mendocino Coast. You're just up Little Lake Road from downtown Mendocino, where you'll find delightful, quaint, and creative shops, art galleries, restaurants, cafes, and more! Stop by local favorite Gallery Bookshop; with luck, you might see the resident bookshop cat while selecting your next vacation read. You will also be close to Big River beach with its white sands, hidden coves and stunning nature trail (Beach towels and chairs are available on request). If you prefer your walks with a side of shopping, stroll Main Street before crossing over to Mendocino Headlands State Park, which is crisscrossed by footpaths, all with amazing coastal views. North of Mendocino, chase waterfalls at Russian Gulch State Park or visit the Point Cabrillo Light Station to marvel at the craftsmanship of the beacon and enjoy exhibits about life on the Mendocino Coast at the turn of the 20th Century. Farther north, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens boast over 40 acres of beautiful plants, trees and flowers, including the famous dahlia gardens, rhododendrons, and succulents. Fort Bragg (about 15 minutes north of Mendocino) has murals, art galleries, restaurants, community events, and shops, as well as world-renowned breweries. When it's time to call it a night, the plush queen bed with a Tempurpedic mattress, will be there to welcome you to dreamland. A peaceful refuge, the bedroom has sliding glass doors to the patio and backyard. The bathroom features high-end fixtures, a Toto toilet with heated seat and bidet, including a large shower. Greet each day (and the redwoods) relaxed and refreshed. Savor the scent of the fresh forest air and let the sound of the trees in the breeze sing to you on your storybook vacation at Green Tree Cottage! Note on the location: the owners are on site and have a super friendly dog that loves to be petted - EXTREMELY nice and decent people, the BEST kind of people! Minimum age to book this property is : 21

We had a really lovely stay at the Green Cottage. The place was very very clean and well stocked with snacks. The owners provided very good recommendations for hiking and good food. We’d happily come back!

From reservation confirmation to check out and beyond, the communication with reservation contact Carlon and property host were outstanding. The property grounds were absolutely gorgeous, pristine, and felt like a perfectly secluded paradise nestled among the breathtaking redwoods. The unit itself was sparkling clean and every bit as lovely as pictured. We also loved how incredibly comfortable the bed was, and the heated toilet seat was such a cozy, thoughtful touch! The location couldn't have been more perfect. We had the best time exploring picturesque Mendocino Village, hiking the beautiful headland trails and the Russian Gulch waterfall, and catching a truly amazing sunset from the historic Pudding Creek Trestle in Fort Bragg. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Mendocino and will absolutely choose the charming "Green Tree Cottage In The Redwoods" again. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Green Tree Cottage. The cottage is very conveniently located (a short drive to the town of Mendocino) and is cozy, pristine, and newly furnished with great amenities (cold/hot water dispenser and the Toto bidet were standouts!) The bed was very comfortable and felt luxurious. We accidentally locked ourselves out one morning and they were very responsive and promptly sent someone to assist. We also ran into the owners of the cottage who asked how our stay was and also introduced us to their very friendly dog. We would absolutely stay here again!

Modern and well appointed location in the trees. The neighborhood is quiet, but only 5 minutes from downtown Mendocino. A lovely place.
