50+ acre Nature Preserve with Ponds & Meadows: Azul Cottage Retreat
Whether you are looking to relax, explore, or unplug, Mendocino Tranquility Meadows has it all. Nestled just outside the charming coastal town of Mendocino, this cozy 2-bedroom cottage offers the perfect escape for your next vacation. Picnic in the meadow along multiple ponds and hike breathtaking trails on more than 50 acres of land. Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is perfect for your relaxing vacation, private event, wedding, family gathering, or get together with friends boasting ample outdoor space and natural beauty. Gather around the outdoor Adirondack chairs for an unforgettable evening, cook meals with loved ones, stargaze in the meadow at the expansive night sky, and immerse yourself in nature. Comfortably accommodates 4 guests in Azul Cottage.
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. Numerous beaches, Surfing, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!
Venture out and explore the nearby attractions such as popular Point Cabrillo Lighthouse & Museum, Caspar State Beach, and stunning Russian Gulch State Park with ocean bluff trails & beach, all only a 3 minute drive away.
Azul, a Southwest themed cozy cottage, features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, full custom kitchen including granite countertops, and handsome gas fireplace stove for a romantic evening. Beautiful wood furniture throughout. Full bathroom with shower/tub. All windows look onto trees and nature. 1 queen bed in each bedroom for a total of 2 queen beds in Azul suitable for 4 total guests. Dwellings are farm chic, quaint and light filled with county rustic feel. Please note, we do not offer a TV. Get ready to relax and unplug! Whether you're seeking a cozy retreat or a family-friendly getaway, this property has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation in Mendocino.
Double bonded DSL Wifi provided in Azul Cottage.
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 place 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 it is like staying in a private park.
