About this property

Bird Lover's Paradise ~ Meadowlark House on Mendocino Coast Nature Sanctuary

  • Whether you are looking to relax, recharge, or explore Mendocino Tranquility Meadows has it all. Bring your binoculars to watch the birds and wildlife among the numerous ponds on this nature sanctuary and hike breathtaking trails on more than 50 acres of land. Mendocino Tranquility Meadows is perfect for your 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 relax and immerse yourself in nature. Comfortably accommodates 5 in Meadowlark house with 3 bedrooms (see bed size breakdown below), and 1 bathroom.

    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 2 miles north of the famous town of Mendocino. Numerous beaches, kayaking, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, shopping, wine tasting….. and world class restaurants all minutes away!

    Venture out and explore the nearby popular attractions, such as the stunning Point Cabrillo Lighthouse & Museum, Caspar State Beach, and captivating Russian Gulch State Park with ocean bluff trails & beach, all only a 3 minute drive away.

    As you step inside, Meadowlark, a bird themed house, you'll be greeted by a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and all the necessary dishes and utensils to whip up delicious meals. Unwind in the comfortable and cozy living room or curl up with a good book. Featuring 3 bedrooms, for a total of 1 queen bed in the master bedroom, 1 double bed in middle bedroom and a twin bed in the 3rd bedroom in Meadowlark suitable for 5 guests. Full bathroom with shower/tub. All windows look onto trees and nature. Dwelling is farm chic, quaint and light filled with county rustic feel. Please note, we do not offer a TV. Get ready to relax and unplug! DSL wifi provided in Meadowlark.

    Set off of Highway one, you can hear some highway noise outside the cottages but you cannot see the road or other houses from Meadowlark. We have one security camera facing the driveway (facing away from the house) for everyone's safety. This property is close to amenities with grocery stores, pharmacies, shops, and medical clinics close by in both Mendocino (2 miles away) and Fort Bragg (7 miles away) yet it is like staying in a private park. Whether you're seeking a cozy retreat or a family-friendly getaway, this property has everything you need for an unforgettable vacation in Mendocino.
