Water Tower & Private Hot Tub - Just Five Minutes To Historic Mendocino Village

Escape to this private, peaceful, 550 square feet water tower suite nestled amongst the redwoods. This is the perfect place for a romantic get-away or some downtime. Sleep under the overhead and inspired sunflower, lit by the rays of the morning sun. Best of all, you'll be surrounded by plenty of tall trees and ocean breezes, with a location 2.75 miles east of the village of Mendocino.

The private (exclusive) bathroom has a roomy shower, indoor hot tub, beautiful stone counters, custom cabinets built by a local fine woodworker, and radiant floor heating. The bedroom has the feel of a tree house, with a new, comfy, king-sized, dreamy, bed, good reading lights, 55" LG OLED HDR TV, with Apple TV. Wake up to the sound of birds in the trees and sunlight filtering through the redwoods.

On chilly mornings, warm up in the private (exclusive) hot tub with a cup of coffee before heading out for the day. There is a downstairs entry room with all that you need to make that perfect cup of morning coffee, or tea, plus a small fridge for wine or leftovers (but, sorry, no cooking). The outdoor deck is set in a lovely Asian-style garden, a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors.

The Water Tower makes for an ideal home base for exploring the fabulous Mendocino Coast. You will undoubtedly want to visit the historic, quaint, and quirky coastal village and enjoy the many art galleries, restaurants, and shops. Take a walk on the Mendocino Headlands State Park and the majestic coastal bluffs of the Pacific Ocean. When you are done, wander back into town for a hot chocolate, or glass of wine at the historic Mendocino Hotel.

The area is known for ocean kayaking, hiking, and phenomenal mountain biking opportunities such as the beautiful Big River trail. You're also close to Russian Gulch State Park and the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse recreational areas for further adventures.

At the end of a day of adventuring along the Mendocino Coast, relax and enjoy your private hot tub in the luxurious bathroom, while sipping a glass of wine from one of the many wonderful local wineries.

Winter is a great time to visit the Mendocino area and experience the winter storms and watch the grey whales migrate from Alaska to Mexico to give birth to their babies.

Guest space is in a converted water tower, and is separate from (but attached to) the historic lumber bunkhouse which has been converted into owner's current residence. Many acres of fir and redwood forest are just outside the doors.

This space is not appropriate for children, or people who smoke, or pets, or guests who need to heat/cook food.

A personal vehicle is totally necessary in this area. No public transportation worthy of the name!

Fantastic little get away just outside of downtown Mendocino
The property was well maintained, the hosts gave clear and helpful instructions as well as directions to follow for arrival (loss of cell service is a common thing in the area and it was great to know I could still find the place). The aesthetic of the water tower was homey and all the little details were clearly coordinated with great care. When we did need help, it was addressed immediately by our host. It was obvious they were knowledgeable and capable of ensuring we could enjoy our stay without feeling frustrated or confused. Overall we were ecstatic with the stay and have definitely saved it for a place to stay again.

Great short stay!
The location is convenient to Mendocino (really just down one road), but you definitely need a car. It is a beautiful spot with a fun set up for the bedroom in the water tower structure. The hot tub is inside, but there is a little outside area that you can sit in that is sweet and peaceful. We did not need it, but if you’re looking for more of a living room space to hang out in, that doesn’t really exist in this space. Overall a great stay!

Wonderful Experience!
My fiancée and I adored this property! Its just 5 minutes or so from town, quite and tranquil. Rennie and Hope were lovely, provided us with filtered water, coffee/tea and had an ADORABLE microwave/mini fridge set up. Mosquitoes are totally normal but also suck. We had bug repellent and there was a repellent coil on the back porch so it didnt bug us much. 10/10 will absolutely return! Thank you so so much!

A beautiful mix of luxury (indoor hot tub, huge bathroom, very comfortable bed, everything well-kept) and the outdoors (surrounding trees, no noise, deer in the yard). The friendly host gave a quick tour and food recs at check-in. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Mendocino!

Quick weekend getaway
We wanted a quiet place near the coast and found this spot. Lovely 2 day stay. We found a lot of places to visit in Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Wish we had more time to hike and bike and kayak.

The place was so cute and had everything we needed for the weekend. Filtered water, sparkling water, heated floor, lively gardens, easy location. The bed was a little lumpy but there’s a featherbed over it to help. We will be back again!

Great property and great hosts. Only issue we had was the bed. A bit lumpy and seemed to be an older mattress that they dressed up with a mattress pad. Sore in the morning.

Absolutely Deluxe
It was very well put together, very relaxing, in a beautiful place with tons to do and wonderful hiking / restaurants near by. We will definitely search this out again for future trips. The only room for improvement would be to get more of a firm bed, though it was still pretty nice.
