This home has historic charm and felt like we were staying at grandma’s house. The house is in a nice big lot so you don’t have to worry about neighbors being on top of you. Everything worked as expected and the amenities were perfect for our family of 5 (2 couples and 1parent). It is located within a mile of beautiful downtown Mendocino.
The only tiny downside is that Lansing road itself is not very pedestrian friendly so even though the house is close to downtown, it was a bit uncomfortable to walk on the busy road with no shoulder until we were able to reach a side road. Perhaps there is a pedestrian trail behind the house we don’t know about. Other than that, it was a perfect stay!

My family of five enjoyed our stay at the Mc Cloud House. We arrived late and used the lock box in town to get the keys. Once inside, the home was spotless and filled with wonderful vintage treasures. It was the perfect amount of space for us to spread out and each have a bit of privacy. My kids enjoyed reading on the porch looking out over the water. In the evenings we watched the sunset then cozied upon the couches for games. The house is minutes from town and very convenient to pop in to pick up a meal or go for a morning walk on the headlands. It’s a beautiful home in a great location.

The property was charming and homey. It was nice to hear the waves crashing at night and the crackling, cozy fireplace. Our bed was comfy. We liked the location too, just outside of town but easy access. The management company was easy and responsive. We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the McCloud house. The location is excellent and so is the view of the Pacific. Everything was clean and the kitchen had all the necessities for preparing meals. Nice touches were flowers on the table and the fireplace all set up. Had one issue to address and the maintenance person showed up within 30 minutes...great response! We would be happy to stay here again.

We rented McCloud House for a weekend getaway in April and couldn't have chosen a more perfect location. Easy walk into town (albeit without a sidewalk) and amazing ocean views right from the bedroom. Mendocino weather can be tricky but Saturday was ideal for a day at the beach with an afternoon glass of wine on the porch. What more can you ask for?

This was our second stay at this property. It is a very charming historic house with amazing views of the ocean from most all of the rooms. The cozy parlor is a perfect place to pass an afternoon reading a book or playing a game by the fire. The house is very convenient to the grocery store at the end of the street, the beach and to the town of Mendocino.

Positives: Close to town, well-maintained historic house. Kitchen was well appointed; we found almost everything we needed. Two queen beds and one twin, so cozy, beautiful beds for 5. Upstairs bathroom is large, with space for personal items. Downstairs bathroom is smaller, but still very functional. Covered parking was nice because it rained the weekend we were there.Bummers: There is a road between the house and the ocean, which isn't apparent on the rental page. The coffee pot had no carafe, so someone had to stand and fill cups as the coffee brewed. Because it is an historical house, with smaller rooms and steep steps, it isn't a great option for people who have mobility issues. Great restaurants are close by in the town, but walking there isn't an option because the road has no shoulders. We still enjoyed them! The Good Life Cafe is to die for!

This was our second stay at the McCloud House, and we enjoyed it as much as the first. The house is comfortable and well equipped. The views of the ocean are beautiful...we even saw whales from the house. We enjoyed afternoons on the little sun porch, evenings by the fire and games in the separate TV/game room. The stairs to the 2nd floor (where the bedrooms are) are steep, so if you have mobility issues or small children, keep this in mind. Also, it's a little bit of a hike into the village along a fairly busy road with no sidewalks, but a short car ride. We have spent much time in Mendocino/Fort Bragg over the years. We enjoy hiking, whale watching, visiting galleries and shops, eating at local restaurants, and participating in seasonal activities. This visit, we saw the Festival of Lights at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and attended the Holiday Parade in Fort Bragg. Already thinking about our next visit to this beautiful area...

My friends and I (and one small dog) had a very comfortable stay in the McCloud House. Lots of extra bedding for chilly nights, chopped wood for the fireplace, nicely decorated bedrooms. Only complaint is that the wi-fi was a little slow at times, not the speed we were accustomed to. But we still had a great time and were very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at the McCloud house and loved the 1880’s charm. It was large enough to accommodate my family, and was perfectly located not far from town and the Mendocino Art Center. I will definitely keep this property in mind for next year’s Open Paint Out.

We had a great time in the McCloud house They had brandy and chocolates waiting for us and a bottle of wine in the fridge! We don't drink but the gesture was very sweet! We cooked several meals and watched the sunset from the front porch Quirky decorations were fun to see. The only recommendation I have is if you have mobility issues, the stairs are steep and narrow. BBQ was a nice plus. It was a great experience.

The McCloud House was a perfect vacation rental for me and my excited family members. We were welcomed with Happy Birthday signs that set the mood upon entering the house. We were located in a perfect spot for traveling the coast and for exploring the streets of Mendocino and the awe inspiring Headlands. We only wished that we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend Mendocino Preferred Vacation Rentals. You will not be disappointed. Thank you all, again, for helping us to create so many happy memories. In peace.

Wonderful House!
My family of 4 spent 5 wonderful days at this beautiful home. The views were amazing! The furnishings were nicely done and the house if quite cozy. We curled up in front of the fireplace enjoying the view and gazed at stars off the patio at night. The house feels very private and is quiet. The house is a 5 minute drive from the down town, grocery store and beach. We also drove to the “10 mile trail” for a bike ride (15 min drive). Fabulous trip! Thank you!

We had difficulty with the high riser/ short tread stairway that leads to the bedrooms. It was difficult to maneuver for an old person. If you like old and quaint, this is the place for you. The folks at Mendocino Preferred were great. They found us a one level cottage to move to for the remainder of our stay, and we were happy.
