Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is a historic birder's dream. Originally owned by legendary conservationist Jacques Helfer a renowned author of "99 Birds of the Mendocino Coast" and "The Natural History of Mendocino." A 2 acre pond is at the heart of the property and is home to many bird species including ducks, osprey, warblers, swallows, hawks, and owls. And yet less than 2 miles north of the famous town of Mendocino, you feel like you are worlds away. Numerous beaches, Surfing, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!

Set off of Highway one, you can hear some highway noise outside the cottages but you cannot see the road or other houses. We have one security camera on the garage facing the driveway (facing away from the house) for everyone's safety. This property is close to amenities including grocery stores, pharmacies, shops, and medical clinics in both Mendocino (2 miles away) and Fort Bragg (7 miles away) yet is like staying in a private park. Nestled in the charming coastal town of Mendocino, this cozy 2-bedroom cottage offers the perfect escape for your next vacation
