About this house rental

This home is conveniently located between Fort Bragg (5 minutes away) and the Village of Mendocino (10 minutes away). Located 1/4 mile from the beach, the home is also close to state parks (Jug Handle, Russian Gulch, Redwood Forest, Van Damm and McKerricher) which are especially great for hiking, biking and beach access.

The home is very private, set on two wooded acres. A grassy yard opens into a meadow surrounded by redwoods, pine and fir. The house features cathedral ceilings and warm wood floors throughout, a completely equipped kitchen, cable TV/VCR, CD player, telephone, toasty wood-stove with a glass window for dinners in firelight, and a large back&side deck with outdoor dining and a barbecue for grilling.

This Mendocino house has a king, a queen, and two trundle beds (each of these beds can sleep two singles or make into queen size beds). All firewood, linens, kitchen supplies, and bedding are provided for your convenience as well as a washer and dryer. Portable crib is available.

The house and deck are wheel chair accessible but the bathroom is not large enough to accommodate a standard wheel chair.

This house is simple on the outside but beautifully finished on the inside. There was a lot of privacy on the property and a beautiful patio and garden.

Nice place but I went even mention the pond area ..not accessible. Couldn't sleep in past 6am..the blinds weren't able to be drawn no coverings for top windows and 2 of 3 windows wdnt open latches are broken. The front walkway is covered in sticky weeds kept sticking to my shoe laces and socks ..the back deck has sticky leaves. The tub spout came apart 1st day when trying to shower...contacted owner ..no response back entire trip ..we were able to put it back together ..some coffee would of been nice. But overall was okay place nothing special about it tho Checkoutlist appears they want you to do the cleaning for next person to arrive not sure why the service fee was included we didn't get any .

A very relaxing place. Plenty of outdoor space to play around, or sit and enjoy. All of the furniture is comfortable. It's definitely worth it.

The hosts were lovely and easy to reach. We had to reschedule within 24 hours due to COVID. Cathy, couldn't have been more helpful and responsive. The house was clean, cute, and very comfortable. Our kids loved walking around the property and found a swing. I would highly recommend to anyone with a family looking for a sweet place to stay.

We escaped the holiday frenzy for a peaceful retreat amongst the leafy greenery. The large garden and plentiful trees made for a secluded, restful trip, with the sound of frogs in the pond to serenade us at night. The house suited our needs well and we enjoyed staying there.

Beautiful setting, for a well equipped rustic cabin. Just a couple of blocks from Highway 1, but felt like being secluded in the woods.

We enjoyed our stay at the house. It is very clean, quiet, has everything you need, and the location is perfect--- between Fort Bragg and Mendocino, a block off Highway 1.(But traffic noise is not an issue). Plenty of privacy; no other houses in sight from the house. It was not cold enough for us to fire up the wood stove, but there was plenty of wood and it would be so cozy on a rainy winter evening! The central heating worked great to take the chill off. The kitchen is more than amply supplied with what we needed to prepare several meals. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our time at this house. We were gone most days to explore Mendocino and Fort Bragg but in the evenings hung out in the house playing card games and doing puzzles we brought with us. In the mornings the kids and I would explore the property, it was beautiful and quite large for us city dwellers.

Our family was excited from the moment we pulled in to the drive. Pulling off the main road we felt hidden away in our own little area. We saw a momma dear and her baby everyday and occasionally a fox! Plus all the beautiful birds. Location was perfect. Close to Fort Bragg, beaches, trails, and ocean views. Beds were sooo comfy, place was clean and had everything we needed and more. We didn't want to leave!

The moment we entered the Jug Handle VRBO we felt right at home. The house was so spacious and had lots of room for our family of three. We also appreciated that the owners thought of just about everything. There were even extra personal items in case we forgot something. We had gone to the store to buy paper towels, oatmeal, conditioner, etc. only to find that they were already provided. We really enjoyed the king size bed, which was so comfortable! I would also like to note that it was easy to enter the house with only three steps. Parking was right at the front door. Would definitely return to Matt and Kathy’s home whenever we are in California again.

The house was very centrally located but also very private. Super easy to get to all of the activities we had planned in the area. Directions provided were great and the house was not hard to find- even though we arrived late the first night. The yard was beautiful, and we really enjoyed being outside on the wrap around porch! The amount of space inside the house was perfect and could have accommodated far more than just the 3 of us. Check in and check out were a breeze. Only issue was that I wish we could have stayed longer!

This place was a wonderful spot for my two grown sons and I to enjoy a few days to enjoy each other's company which we don't get to do very often. Although this house was only several hundred yards off Hwy 1, you'd never know it, as the place is surrounded by redwoods, cedars and very large rhododendrons, giving you the feeling that you're in this secluded cabin in the woods. The interior of the house was fabulous, with it's wood paneling, open beams, fireplace and great decor. Matt and Kathy thought of absolutely everything as far as stocking the place was concerned. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Thank you.

Enjoyed our vacation in this lovely and private cabin. Had fires every night and loved the sound of the rain and thunderstorms on the metal roof. Cabin has well equipped, clean and comfortable. Nice that it was a very short drive to our favorite places to eat in Fort Bragg. Will plan to stay again in the future.

Second time staying in this cabin. Same experience: clean, easy check-in, lovely property. The only thing is that the ocean is across the highway / but that cannot be changed . Overall - very happy about the property. Great for a bunch of kids / if traveling with family and friends . Will be coming back.

Jughandle is a spacious, comfortable cabin nestled on a beautiful botanic property near the ocean and town of Ft. Bragg. The cabin layout is extremely conducive to entertaining, family meals or quiet time. The bedrooms are lovely and linens are high quality. There is a pack and Play on-site! And we used it! The kitchen and great room adjoin a large deck with forest views. The deck is primed for a BBQ, cocktail hour, dining al fresco and morning coffee. Birds are abundant and cheerful. Many thanks to Cathy and Matt for providing such a special, well-equipped and homey retreat for my small Thanksgiving gathering. We left replete and very grateful! I would recommend Jughandle to anyone I know!

The house has the feel of a cosy cabin in the woods with none of the drawbacks. It is beautifully designed and has all the modern amenities while keeping it's cosy charm! The beds are comfortable and so is the furniture in the living room. The owners have stocked the house with everything you could need. We saw two foxes on our deck and raccoons! In the evening, even my two teenage boys put down their phones and stopped watching the large modern TV to sit in the dark and wait to see what animal mind wander by. Communication with Cathy was smooth and pleasant. I would definetly recommend this house.
