Overview
Cozy multi-level 3 bedroom home in your own quiet 3 acre redwood forest
A talented craftsman has converted and updated what was once a tiny cabin into a one-of-a-kind home in a private redwood forest. This home has redwood inside and out to create the feeling of being cradled by nature. The home offers an easy-going ambiance, with no less than 18 skylights, flooding the interior living spaces with the light, color, and serenity from the surrounding forest. There are artisan touches from the gnarled door pulls to the exposed beams in the original living room side-by-side with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable and restful stay. Bedroom #1 has a King size bed, two large skylights, and a private half bathroom. It is upstairs where you can get away from the TVs and other guests in your group for a little solitude . Bedroom #2 has one Queen bed, a skylight, and a private full bathroom (tub/no shower). It is on the main floor for those who don't do well with stairs or like to be near the action. Bedroom #3 has a Queen bed and a Queen Size futon/bed. This room is down a half flight of stairs and has a TV with DVD/VCR...the kids love this room but adults enjoy the feeling of privacy too. Outside is a wide wrap around deck for enjoying the fresh air of the forest with a hot cup of coffee in the morning or a chilled glass of wine in the evening. Relax at the end of your day in the salt water hot tub under the redwoods.
About Lucy Edwards
We live in the San Francisco Bay area and our Mendocino home is just 3 hours away...close enough for a quick getaway and yet feels like a complete escape from our daily lives.
Lucy Edwards purchased this house in 2000
Why Lucy Edwards chose North Coast California
Having a home one mile inland allows us to enjoy many more sunny days above the fog line and we can go to the beach on the days the sun breaks through the fog. We get the best of both worlds here in the redwoods.
What makes this house unique
Artisan wood work details inside the home. Reclaimed 'Old Growth' redwood planks above the fireplace. Wide wrap-around redwood deck. Skylights in nearly every room allow full enjoyment of the towering redwoods surrounding the home.
Guestbook comments from the owner
To Whom it May Concern,
We have had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Little River Redwoods home several times both as a family get away and as an adults only vacation respite. It proved to be a wonderful option for both. It is quiet and peaceful, wonderfully appointed with every amenity, very private, and is on beautiful grounds. This home has great play area for kids, great outdoor bbq area and a large spa for quiet evenings or fun for the kids. Fantastic hikes can be taken right from the property or a short drive takes a family or a couple to an abundance of hiking trails, river and ocean fun and tourist attractions. We will be back as often as possible and recommend it to our friends.
Thank You!!

Wonderful Cottage
We rented this wonderful cottage for an extended weekend for a wedding near by. The house was very easy to locate , getting the info package and keys near by. We arrived late so we didn't see the grounds as we entered. The grounds are beautiful with huge trees and a great wrap around deck. All the beds were very comfy with nice bedding. I have no hesitation to recommend this house as all was in very good condition. The one thing we noticed is there didn't seem to be any recycle program so we collected our recyclables and brought them with us to where they could get recycled. Just another tip put a label under each light switch to tell you what that switch turns on
Amazing!
Our stay was beyond wonderful! The house had everything we needed and more! We loved watching the stars at night through the skylights and listening to the rain as it them. The location was perfect for day trips and being in the redwoods was great! We felt like we were all alone even though we were close to a town. Having a huge Coast Guard plane buzz the house doing touch and go's one day was an added bonus - sounded like a train coming through the house as he came over, but it was an experience like no other! We are already wanting to plan another trip up to the house!!!
Perfect Retreat for Our Group of Friends
Six of us rented this house for a long weekend. The three bedrooms and spacious common areas allowed for privacy as well as time spent cooking, eating, and sitting around the fire. The location was perfect. The huge redwood trees surrounding the house made it feel magical, and the hot tub was great way to unwind after a long car trip. Special thanks to Lucy, who gave clear instructions on how to find and get in the house. I'd definitely stay here again next time I am on the coast.
Beautiful Redwood home in the Redwoods
This home is beautiful in side and out with clear heart redwood walls, exposed beams and ceilings through out the main level. Bountiful skylights every where you look (even on the back porch), huge professional kitchen, fire place in the family room (they provide the wood) and large wrap around deck on back and side with a great hot tub with redwood stairs to get in and out with out getting off on the dirt. My daughter planed for over two years to get married in Mendocino which took up most of our time. We managed to stay a few days before and after the wedding and loved this house. Large lot with many large redwood trees make it a secluded location, peaceful and quite. The house location was just outside of Mendocino in a city called Little River, just 5 or 10 minutes away from down town Mendocino. The main bedroom is on the main house level (complete private bath), second bedroom is three or four steps down (shares the common complete bath main level just off the hallway) and the third bedroom is up a flight of stairs (has a private 1/2 bath), but all three bedrooms are beautiful. The family room and main dining room are right off the front door and make a great room for entertaining or large size family get together's.
We can not wait to come back on out next visit so we can enjoy the house all by its self for a get away weekend. All we need to bring is a good book and a few bottles of wine!!
Far exceeded expectations!
We were three families with small children, so quite a large group. And there was plenty of space. The house looked smaller in the pictures, so we were pleasantly surprised. We loved the large living room with the big fireplace (which was all set up and ready to go when we got there). The deck that wraps around the house was also surprisingly large. We didn't use it much, since it was a little cool when we were there. We did use the hot tub, though, which was wonderful. The house is just a few minutes drive from the town of Mendocino as well as the beach, so it was easy to go back and forth with the kids. All the bedrooms were big and comfortable. They were all of equal quality so there was no need to fight for the best one ;). Kitchen had a lot of room from several chefs as well, which worked well for such a large group. In short, we loved this place and will definitely try to book it again in the future!
Serenity near the sea
Great property set back in the redwoods, very near town and coastal access. Really private, neighbor you can see from the yard if you try really hard. You can access hiking trails just up the street and relax in the hot tub afterward. Very nice place, we will be back!
