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.

Foxfern Redwood Cabin in the Forest
Foxfern cabin is the perfect place for a getaway in the redwoods. It’s a great place for a small group to have a relaxing trip. Super close to the beach, very quiet and Isolated, and beautifully crafted stay!

Had the most amazing stay at this cozy cabin in Mendocino. Sitting by the fire each evening while surrounded by nature was just what we needed to relax and unwind. The setting was so peaceful and beautiful, and we felt completely at home. Perfect spot for a family getaway.

Loved it once again
Second October in a row and this was even better than the first stay. My bestie and I dressed as ghosts and had a little dance party and took pictures for our memories. We loved the new additions in and outside the cabin. Just as cozy and comfy as we remember. We absolutely are keeping this our Fall tradition. The decorations were so cute and the little candies in the cauldron was a sweet little treat.

Quaint but not convenient
Not a fit for us. Would expect more amenities/effort from the hosts when spending hotel stay dollars in a camping spot. Needed more dry firewood supplied for sure. “Barbie” furnace takes a very long time be to heat the space. Was disappointed that the lights guiding guests to the cabin were all OFF when we arrived after dark, even though I had communicated to the house we wouldn’t be there till after dark.👎🏻 And if you choose to say there, don’t forget there is not a Wi-Fi signal, so to use the Hipcamp app to communicate with your host, you have to leave and drive in to town. 👎🏻 Lastly , if you are looking for that “camping in the woods-isolation vibe” this isn’t the place. Could hear sirens, people and dogs barking as much as we can at home in our own backyard. No denying the cabin itself is super COOL and the view of the trees is very peaceful. 👍🏻👍🏻

Wonderful two night stay!
We had a wonderful time here! We spent two nights and had our golden retriever with us. The setting is beautiful, the cabin is so cozy and the picnic table and fire pit were so perfect for us. The site was easy to find and very convenient for going to the beach and into town. So kind of the hosts to provide fire wood, a mattress in the loft and supplies for the indoor stove. Would definitely recommend!
