About this property

The Hayloft- A cozy retreat, warm and inviting & just two miles from town.

The Hayloft is a cozy and romantic retreat just two miles from the center of Mendocino. Warm and inviting and decorated with style and comfort in mind. Set in the lovely and mysterious Pygmy Forest, The Hayloft suite is a guest house to a main house but still private, quiet and peaceful.

The living room comes equipped with a leather sofa, a reclining chair, a fireplace and an entertainment center. There’s a dining area, a full kitchen and, in open-space style, the queen bedroom is “half-walled” to allow views of the fireplace and television. Several skylights bring in the sun and one of them directly over the bed provides a nighttime view of the stars and moon. Did we say anything about it being romantic?

With luxurious and comfortable appointments, The Hayloft is decidedly not a hayloft. To see all photos and details visit our website.

Our Third stay! We loved the flowers, wine and hand made card. We were celebrating our 41st Wedding Anniversary and have loved the area for as many years. Your accomodations at the Hayloft provide us with everything we needed! Thank You!

Lovely relaxing stay in the forest

We had a great stay at the Hayloft. Communication and check-in were smooth and easy, and the living and sleeping spaces were cozy and comfy. We were close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg, yet far enough away to have quiet and privacy. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, too!

Amazing!

The house was so adorable, clean, safe. The hot tub worked perfectly and was such a fun time! Location is amazing too, only 20ish minutes away from anything you want to do in the area! I will definitely be returning to the Hayloft!

Great retreat!

Perfect location, close to Mendocino, beaches and trails. Lovely, secluded spot that’s perfect for a get-away weekend. Hot tub was great for soaks at night, although it wasn’t heated yet on the first night and the chlorine balance was off and it ended up dying my swimsuit :( Other than that, would highly recommend.

Always a Welcome Escape

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 second time staying here and it was just as relaxing and enjoyable as the first. Perhaps more so since I didn’t break my toe the morning before arriving. The location is amazing, close enough to town for easy access, but removed enough to feel remote and give you a break from society.

A quiet place to rest

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: It doesn't have an ocean view, but it was quiet, relaxing and perfect! It is close to town, has all the amenities and was a quiet get away. The hot tub any time of the day was wonderful. Plenty of space for two people. My husband and I would recommend to anyone.

Cozy hideaway

My wife and I enjoyed our week at the Hayloft. It is located a short drive from Mendocino, but back in the woods--very private and quiet. The place is very clean and well-appointed. Check-in and check-out was super easy. And we loved the outdoor hot tub! That said, the bathroom is small--not much counter space to put things on. More significantly, the unit could use another couple of lamps in the sitting area for reading. Also, the outdoor stairs leading to the front door should be better lit. If there's a motion sensor on that light, it isn't working. Still, a lovely place to stay overall.

In the woods but close by!

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 first time staying at The Hayloft, and what a good choice! The apartment was very clean. The bed is super comfortable. The fireplace rocks! The hot tub on the deck was perfect. The place is roomy with comfortable furniture. The basics items are in the kitchen, and it was nice to have a dining table. You are in the quiet woods, but only a few minutes from Mendocino and the beach. Overall, a wonderful find, and we will stay there again!

Can't wait to be back

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Hayloft was cozy and perfect. It was remote but not far from town. Exactly as pictured. And big plus that it was dog friendly. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the fireplace non stop. The place was set up with everything we needed. Nicely decorated, great size, and we absolutely loved it. The one improvement that could be made is the bathroom, particularly the shower. It is tiny and old, and the showerhead is literally at shoulder height. Since the jacuzzi is very strongly chlorinated it was crucial to shower after every use, however we dreaded the shower a bit. The bathroom overall is very small.Other than that, the Mgmt Company did a great job with lots of information provided that was helpful to have.We would absolutely stay here again.

Loft in the woods

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay here. Welcomed to fresh flowers, really nicely folded (like origami) towels and toilet paper, some complimentary whiskey in a glass bottle. Place was clean and comfortable - nice bedding and comfy bed. The kitchen items are minimal but we didn’t cook there so not an issue. Hot tub was perfect size for two. They did stress not changing the temp the tub is set to but it was set to 97 when we got there so we turned it up. They also stressed to put straps on after each use but straps were broken. Light for hot tub was also not working but not needed. The moon was bright. Shower is small but does the job. All in all, we enjoyed the stay!

Much needed rest and relaxation

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 loved everything abut our time at the hayloft. it was near enough to everything we wanted to see and do and far enough away to feel like we were really "away from it all." The place was ideal - clean and comfortable. We didn't have any issues with the mattress like previous visitors mentioned so maybe they replaced it. The shower was small but by non means inconveniently so. The WIFI worked well as did the TV and DVD player once we figured out the instructions were for different brands than the one s there, but that wasn't something we either needed or used more than once. The hot tub was everything we expected. We will definitely be back.
