About this property

Mendocino's Historic McCloud House Headland Views on the Edge of the Village

Stay in a piece of history in this 1880 nostalgic home on the edge of the town of Mendocino, offering amazing white water views and stunning sunsets. Enjoy the sights and soothing sounds of the waves while relaxing on the sun porch with a good book or take a short walk to access the 340 scenic acres of the Mendocino Headlands State Park and Big River Beach. The living room offers another area to cozy up in front of the crackling fireplace and enjoy those amazing views. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, (2 queens, 1 twin room) all with ocean views. (Queen sleeper sofa located in living room.) The bright kitchen is open to the dining area and includes a peninsula that can be used for eating, playing games or supervising the chef. If you don't feel like cooking, the seaside village of Mendocino is just a short walk away and offers charming restaurants, unique boutiques, galleries specializing in local art, and lively entertainment. Mendocino's McCloud House is the perfect setting to create Mendocino memories that will last a lifetime.

Gorgeous Location

Wonderful spot on planet earth. Views from all rooms of the ocean, even while it rained. Breathtaking sunsets. And they let us bring our dogs. Nice fireplace and the local radio station KOZT made everything groovy. We went to the Harvest Market the first night and bought hot clam chowder and sourdough for dinner. The next night we has fresh dungeness crab. Mendo baby.

Another Great Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th stay at the McCloud House so, obviously, we really like this house. It is a good home base for all of our activities in the area. We especially enjoyed evenings by the fire, playing games at the big table in the TV room and sitting in the little sun room enjoying the views and reading.We feel like we are home when we are here.

Not the least bit pretentious and truly family friendly!!!! They even love dogs!!!!!! Thank you!

Lovely getaway to the bluffs

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!

Great house with a beautiful view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Great stay!

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!

Charming Home with Amazing Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third stay at this property. There are ocean views from almost every room. The property is quiet and feels very private. The cozy parlor with fire place is the perfect spot for reading or family games. The house is only a short 5 min drive to the beach and downtown Mendocino. It’s also roughly 15 minutes to Fort Bragg (where we did a bike ride at 10 Mile Beach). The decor is nicely done with beautiful bedding and attractive furniture and art. The one thing I miss is a having a dishwasher.

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.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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?
