The Mendocino coast has temperate weather year round. It’s generally sunny and mild in summer, and cold and wet in winter, with a chance of fog magic anytime. Please dress warm and cozy and bring layers for summer months. - Summer Season (May-October): Typically sunny or foggy, 60-70°F (15-21°C) daytime, 48-55°F (8-13°C) at night* - Winter Season (November-April): Typically cold or rainy, 45-55°F (7-13°C) daytime, 35-45°F (1-7°C) at night* *Please note: Coastal humidity is usually high making it feel cooler than the temperature reads. All cabins are kept warm with space heaters during the cold months. The lodge and sanctuary are kept warm with wood burning stoves, which we can help you start and show you how to use. The campfire is available year-round unless there are high winds or a county fire restriction is in place (a rare occurrence). The bathhouse has 2 showers with hot water. We recommend guests bring a robe and sandals for pre/post shower. Four picnic tables can be used in the gardens and meadow for communal dining. Two campfires are also available for use. THE LISTED NIGHTLY RATE IS A BASE RATE FOR UP TO 10 PEOPLE and is adjusted to seasonal demand. After 10 people, the additional cost is $25/visiting guest/night up to 40 people (counting all participants, facilitators and assistants, whether staying on or off site). This provides large groups an economical overall cost per head, while keeping the cost affordable for smaller groups. For example, if you have 20 people in your group, calculate the rate this way: [Base Rate Listed] + [10 people x $25] = Size Adjusted Rate per night. Airbnb limits the total to 16 people, so the final headcount and any additional payment can be adjusted after booking. To make your time here extra special, sound meditation and breathwork healing sessions can be offered for your group by your hosts, Julian & Nathaniel. As trained facilitators in the healing arts, they enjoy sharing these practices with guests. This offering is optional and at an additional cost. Please inquire in advanced for more details, rates, and availability before you arrive. Additional add-ons such as yoga, forest walks, ecstatic dance, craft workshops, massage, etc. are available.

We live on-site at the caretaker’s home with our friendly dog and outdoor cats. You’ll have full privacy of the cabin described in the listing. We’re available to help you during your stay when we are here. Otherwise, you’ll only see us to greet you when you arrive, to tend a fire, to assist with other guests needs, working on the land, and when we occasionally drive by to come and go from camp. Our dog or cats may pay you a friendly visit, although they tend to reside at the caretaker's home most of the time.
