Seclusion, Sea & Serenity-hilltop gem on 10 pvt acres w\/ocean views & fireplace
About this house rental
Nestled in Little River, this attractive house for $550 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Spectacular ocean views from this Secluded private cottage on 10 acres, surrounded by 35 more, designed, and reserved, for ADULTS ONLY. Nature, sea, and solitude, yet only half a mile from beaches, hiking trails, dining and golf course, and 2 miles from the beautiful village of Mendocino. Our sanitized oasis sits by itself high above the sea but close enough to the ocean to hear waves crashing below. Enjoy the peace of having NO ONE AROUND YOU – – just whales migrating below, Osprey and bald eagles soaring overhead. This Japanese style home is a sublime space situated on 10 private acres, surrounded by 35 more. The cottage sits high on a hill top but close enough to the seed to hear waves crashing below. Inside and out you behold the sea in all directions, for miles and miles, while you breathe in the sea air in utter tranquility. You can also enjoy the expansive views from inside, while curled up by a gas fireplace. The house is large and airy, and in the most primo and exclusive location on the Mendocino Coast: on a private hilltop with wide vistas and no neighbors, yet a stones throw from beaches and other recreational activities, art, museums, shops bars and eateries. Although a studio, it is 670 ft.² with sliding glass doors that open wide onto a huge wood deck, which leads to a lower deck of flagstone pavers, with a fire pit. In all, comprising over 1000 ft.² in decking.. Strong and reliable Wi-Fi, radiant heat, a gas fireplace, a full kitchen, with four burner gas range and gas oven and undercounter built-in fridge. Towel warmer in the bathroom and queen bed with new memory foam mattress, wool Pendleton blankets, feather and down comforter and cotton jersey sheets. Cotton robes are also provided so you can lounge by the fire on a cool evening. And, of course, coffee, tea and all the necessary plates, glasses, cookware and utensils. Outside, a new Weber barbecue, Blackstone griddle, second refrigerator with freezer, and fire pit facing the ocean in circles by wooden Adirondack chairs. But, really, it’s all about the view. You can see waves crashing from inside the house and from all outside areas, which are private and serene. Behold the sea. The serenity. The privacy. The thrill of nature in isolation. It doesn’t get any better than this.

A Japanese style house sitting on top of the hill with a large studio and a large bathroom surrounded by a gorgeous, large deck with sweeping views of the ocean. The views are incredible from any part of the house (except from the bathroom) and they include the nearby trees which house numerous wildlife. The house is situated so that it provides full seclusion and privacy. The owners go out of their way not to intrude yet they are in the vicinity to quickly answer any questions or provide help if needed.
Everything in the house was clean and well organized:
- Kitchen is small but well equipped for the party of 2 and a very quick meal prep. The fridge is small and the freezer is even smaller which was OK for us but not if you plan on bringing some frozen meals.
- Bed is super comfortable and bedding was cozy and nice.
- Bathroom is large with a great walk-in shower and a large closet.
From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. We loved everything about our stay here and would definitely stay again if we return to the area.

This property is a total gem and slice of heaven. Great for one or a couple. The view is tremendous and provided pure relaxation and solace. The hosts were very nice and responsive. They live nearby but left us alone to enjoy privacy and luxurious indoor/outdoor living. Loved it!

Great property, host, views, location
The cottage is well constructed, clean, comfortable, great amenities. There is with plenty of space, full kitchenette, comfortable bed. The deck is large with plenty of inside and outside sitting options for views of the ocean.
The location is perfectly situated between Albion and Mendocino, high above highway 1 (you can't see it, but you can hear traffic occasionally), with views of the Pacific.
The property is beautiful and secluded with lush landscaping around the cottage, lots of trees and wildlife.
Jay and her husband are fantastic hosts: very friendly, hospitable, communicative and helpful.

Absolutely Beautiful!
Northern California is absolutely beautiful and our stay at Little River made it even more special. The views are heavenly and the night sky will take your breath away. The cottage has a cozy feel but it is actually very large. The wrap around patio is the perfect place to relax with a good book and a cup of tea with the sound of the ocean in the background. The communication with both owners was perfect in that they were there to help in any way we needed but were not intrusive. I would give Little River ten stars if possible!

This is an absolute gem, tucked away in the woods with a beautiful view of the ocean. The place is filled with natural light and I love the fact of being able to open the big glass sliding doors to the veranda.
We watched various wildlife, quail with tiny little chicks, deer, a small fox while swallows entertained us with their skillful flying maneuvers.
It is a very homey place and well kept. The owners are very responsive
and and had great suggestions what to check out up and down the coast. We definitely will be back! Gerda

We just completed a magical week in Jay’s cottage in Little River. The studio seemed twice as big as advertised, due to the high ceiling and the “wall of glass doors” facing the ocean. It was wonderful to have a completely private hilltop, without any neighbors (except the owners) and the resident wildlife. In addition to the acrobatic nesting swallows, we saw California Quail, Band Tailed Pigeon, Turkey Vultures, Jays (Stellar and Scrub), deer, rabbits. Everything in the cottage was in working order. The bed was comfortable, there were plenty of extra blankets and towels.
The week started off with gale force winds in the afternoon the first three days. It was such a pleasure to be able retreat after our coastal hikes and lunch to our sanctuary, where we could sit inside, read, and watch the beautiful ocean. We even saw the lunar eclipse over the ocean.
Jay was extremely helpful, with suggestions on restaurants, hikes, and shopping. The location (2 miles south of Mendocino) was perfect, as it was easy to get to either Mendocino or Fort Bragg for restaurants, groceries.
view dining.
Needless to say, we will be back.

The entire location has a great view of the ocean, with an ever-changing vista of crashing waves and swells. The building itself is very well constructed and appointed, built and managed by the owners, who obviously take great care of their place. The owners live very nearby and very communicative before check-in. They also keep good information on the Mendocino area at the property. Very well-appointed, with a beautiful shower area and well-appointed kitchen. It has a very small freezer section in an under-counter refrigerator, but an extra small fridge outside on the deck. Beautiful deck and surrounding grounds, with a fire pit and BBQ.
