Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

This magical place is far out there! We are providing a setting for those adventurers who want a place to REALLY "get away from it all." Expect a beautiful 30 minute drive on gravel roads through mature Redwood forest from the village of Mendocino. The property is also accessible from Fort Bragg via HWY 20 and road 408/Little Lake Rd. The Aloha Cabin is a beautiful one room timber frame cabin located on a ridge top in the Redwood forest. Upon entering the gate at Old Mill Farm the Aloha Cabin is the first building you see as you come out of the thick forest and into the mixed meadow/forest ridge top of the property. Old Mill Farm is a 320 ranch in the middle of Mendocino county's 50,000 acre JDSF (Jackson State Demonstration Forest.) The Aloha sits by itself about a 1/2 mile from the rest of the ranch buildings and like the entire ranch is completely off-grid. Electricity is provided by a solar photovoltaic system and battery back up. All water is pumped with solar power and gravity fed throughout the property. You will be imbedded in the outdoors with ample opportunity to commune with the forest and the wildlife that live there. The Aloha has a kitchen equipped for cooking with refrigerator, range and oven. There is a bathroom with a flush toilet and a private outdoor shower. We provide linens and bedding for the full size bed and towels for 4 guests. There is also a sleeping loft (with no bedding included but can be added as an extra.) Please bring your own pads and sleeping bags to use the loft or pitch a tent in the front yard. The front yard is fenced and has a fire pit. Always be fire conscious - never burn outside of the fire pit and extinguish all fires before leaving or bed. You are free to relax in the natural beauty of this place, meditate while walking our earthen labyrinth or hike around the property along the ridge and on the logging roads that descend on each side. Please respect all signs and private residents. JDSF has extensive hiking and mountain bike trails accessible right from the cabin or a short drive away. The breathtaking Mendocino Coast offers an abundance of activities from the forest to the ocean headlands and beaches.Aloha Cabin is the ideal spot for your camping getaway, mountain biking adventure or escape from the stress of the world.

Group trip

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin tremendously. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and were able to make it work comfortably with the addition of a blow up mattress. We could see all the stars at night and made s'mores around the campfire. The cabin was clean and cozy. It is in a remote location but that's part of what we liked about it. Great memories for the kids and the adults had a relaxing time drinking wine out on the front porch. We'll be back

Great place to get away and disconnect. Very private and the cabin has it all! The road to get in was a bit nerve wracking at first, but it’s not too bad. I’m already thinking about coming back!

What an amazing place deep in the redwoods! Aloha provided a great solo retreat spot. It included hiking, reading spots under the redwoods, fields to lay a blanket on, a labyrinth, breakfasts on a giant table in the yard, outdoor shower, a deck to listen to the owls and a puzzle table in the sweet cabin that met all my needs! I will definitely be back for a solo retreat and with my family and friends! Thank you, Cas, for your cabin the woods!

We had a very nice stay, beautiful country out here. The cabin was run on solar panels and batteries which was cool, no issues w power. Spacious cabin, fenced in yard, but most importantly lots of land and logging roads to go explore. This place is DEEP, like 30 mins from civilization. Absolutely loved it. Met the family that owns it by chance and they were very nice people. Would definitely stay here again.

We would come back!

Group trip

Very cozy and clean cabin, it has everything you need. Outdoor shower was great, the cabin it's fenced all around the front so we could let our dog run around with no worries. Felt safe and peaceful and best of all quiet. We would recommend to bring a little fan during the summer because it could get warm inside the cabin. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The dirt road to the cabin was fun and easy enough to get to.

Unwind in the Redwoods

What a beautiful peaceful place to unwind ! The cabin is very clean and spiderweb free:) the amenities are perfect and a very efficient plumbing hot shower etc . You definitely are miles deep in the woods so bring your mountain bikes ? Extra spices for cooking etc as it’s about 30 minutes back to Mendocino. Plenty of land to hike be amongst the redwoods.
