Breakfast overlooking the authentic north coast garden with plantings inspired by the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg. Lunch in the secluded garden patio. Hot tub in the same private setting to the sound of the little rushing stream and of wind in the pines. Evening warmth by the wood burning fireplace in this cozy home with full kitchen, master bedroom suite and two more spacious bedrooms upstairs, one with an office nook. Withywindle is on one-half acre, ensuring privacy and peace.

Garden lovers will especially enjoy this sheltered cottage, with hillside of daffodils and rhododendrons, and an enclosed garden with 33 varieties of annuals and perennials, including fuchsias that attracts Allens and Annas hummingbirds. A great sunny place for that second cup of morning coffee.

Withywindle is just a few minutes walk from Russian Gulch State Park, an overlooked treasure of the North Coast with wildflowers, views of Mendocino Village and a blowhole. It’s just 5 minutes drive north to Jughandle State Park where there is excellent hiking on the headland and up the ecological staircase to the Pygmy Forest. And it’s only a few minutes more to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden.
Experienced visitors to the North Coast expect variable weather that brings wonderful changes to the sea and sky. On any day, and especially on stormy or overcast days, Withywindle provides the simple pleasures of a private, warm, well-lit and spacious interior that many guests are happy to exchange for an ocean view.
