Ames House, one bedroom cottage +Loft W/double bed

Welcome to Ames House, only 8 minutes from Mendocino, where you will enjoy the romantic seclusion of our 1970’s architecture and redwood groves. The house is located in the sun-belt, in the midst of Jackson State Forest’s mountain bike trails and Big River State Park. We are happy to do monthly rentals for a reduced rate. The space Ames House is one of two short term cottages on Big River Ridge. We are at the end of a beautiful 3/4 mile long road flanked by Rhododendrons, Firs, Oaks and Redwoods. We are tucked into a Redwood forest so quiet and private and yet so close (8 minute drive) to the town of Mendocino. Several different trails take you to the Big River Haul Road, to town, through old redwood forests with glorious old growth redwood stumps, or to a Pygmy forest. Bike trails are also abundant. Just up the road is The Woodlands State Park, a WPA wonder at the head of the Big River. Guest access GPS is always incorrect, so follow our easy-to-follow directions.
