A unique private home milled camping cabin designed and built by the host. Tranquility on the edge of a whimsical forest full of Redwood trees, Pines, Oaks, Hemlocks, Rhododendrons, Ferns, wildflowers and mushrooms. The cabin is on our 8 acre property, only about 7 minutes to the historic village of Mendocino. Beaches and trails close by and waiting for you to explore! Hear the ocean waves crashing in the distance, if you listen closely you may even hear the seals chatting. In the spring see the tall brilliant pink rhododendrons bloom. Star gaze at night and listen to the trees talking through the costal breeze while keeping warm by the fire pit, and stay cozy inside the cabin by the mini wood burning stove. Use the tea kettle to brew up a delicious drink to sip. All while making memories to last!PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION to know what is included and what to expect.

Could not recommend enough! ✨🍃🍄

What an amazing little spot! So peaceful and cozy. Close to hikes, beaches, and Mendocino Village, yet we felt like we were in our own world. The forest smells and sounds left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The wood burning stove kept us warm at night and was great for making coffee in the morning. Decorative touches, adorable. Highly recommended!

Amazing & Magical

An absolutely magical, calm, and sweet place to rest and play. Staying in the beautiful redwood cabin, among the redwoods, in the rain was a dream. The most soothing sound I've ever heard. Really couldn't imagine a more lovely way to relax and be with the earth. Super clear instructions to get to the cabin and on how to care for the space. Logistically, it was a very easeful stay. Fireplace stove was everything and brilliantly high enough off the ground to be child safe for the little ones. We used the grill outside too and played with some clay a bit closer down to the creek!

What an incredible, cozy get away! Victoria and Kyle’s little cabin was absolutely perfect for our 1.5 yr old and our big pup. The stove kept us nice and warm, and we loved waking up in the trees. Also it was so close to great hikes and great restaurants in Mendocino. Could not recommend it more highly. We are very grateful that they chose to share their tiny slice of heaven.

Loved the cabin! Felt like our own private corner of the forest. You can tell Victoria and Kyle really care about their cabin with all the decorative touches/craftsmanship. And the stove worked like a dream, really toasted up the room at night! Would def book again

Magical Experience

Wow. Just...wow. What a magical experience. Absolutely love Fox Fern. We never wanted to leave and can't wait to go back. Everything was so perfect. The location, the layout, the way everything was appointed so thoughtfully and tastefully. Pictures and videos do not do Fox Fern justice. You have to see this place in person. It rained the 3 days that we stayed there and it was perfect. Hearing the rain the roof. The gentle mist coming through the trees. All the greenery and the moss and mushrooms. I can't say enough about it. We cannot wait to go back and experience a different season there. Love love love!!! Thank you for creating this space and for making it available to us. We will never forget our stay at Fox Fern. 🐾💕
