Remarkable Cottage
Do not hesitate to book here. The Red Barn cottage is five stars for comfort, design details, amenities, bedding, kitchen, bathroom, size, and overall beauty. Gabi and Richard couldn't be more welcoming throughout our 3-night stay. A huge storm hit while we were there, and they were so thoughtful, making us breakfast and helping us find a way out of the area to Hwy 101. All the rivers had flooded and the major routes were inaccessible. For us the location was perfect, near hiking and redwoods, and a short drive to Little River and Mendocino. Do note it is not on the coast. We can't think of anything negative to say. Will stay again and recommend to friends.

The house was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. Gabi and Richard were very nice and accommodating hosts.It rained heavily on our last day there and they told us what backroads to take to avoid closures on Highway 128. These caring people will insure you will have a nice stay!

Quiet Retreat
My husband and I spent about 5 days in this lovely little house. It had all the amenities and was super-quiet (city dwellers, it may take time to acclimate yourself to the quiet!). The hosts live in their own secluded home on the property and were very responsive when we had a minor plumbing issue (a leak in the sink which was fixed immediately). It's very convenient to hiking and to the town of Mendocino only about 10 minutes away).

Like a top-notch homey hotel!
This beautifully decorated and well-kept, extremely clean, and cozy home was just what we needed. We felt very comfortable there and everything was provided. The location was lovely, and the hosts couldn’t be warmer or more responsive, helpful and hospitable. We highly recommend the red barn retreat!

wonderful, peaceful place! clean, very warm
Gabriele and Richard were very nice to chat with. They left a bottle of Husch chardonnay on the counter which was really nice to open after the long drive up! Very peaceful location with beautiful skies at night. The accomodations inside were really well thought out and tasteful. Would love to have had a few more days at the Barn!! Hope to come back soon!
