This magical place is far out there! We are providing a setting for those adventurers who want a place to REALLY "get away from it all." Expect a beautiful 30 minute drive on gravel roads through mature Redwood forest from the village of Mendocino. The property is also accessible from Fort Bragg via HWY 20 and road 408/Little Lake Rd. The Aloha Cabin is a beautiful one room timber frame cabin located on a ridge top in the Redwood forest. Upon entering the gate at Old Mill Farm the Aloha Cabin is the first building you see as you come out of the thick forest and into the mixed meadow/forest ridge top of the property. Old Mill Farm is a 320 ranch in the middle of Mendocino county's 50,000 acre JDSF (Jackson State Demonstration Forest.) The Aloha sits by itself about a 1/2 mile from the rest of the ranch buildings and like the entire ranch is completely off-grid. Electricity is provided by a solar photovoltaic system and battery back up. All water is pumped with solar power and gravity fed throughout the property. You will be imbedded in the outdoors with ample opportunity to commune with the forest and the wildlife that live there. The Aloha has a kitchen equipped for cooking with refrigerator, range and oven. There is a bathroom with a flush toilet and a private outdoor shower. We provide linens and bedding for the full size bed and towels for 4 guests. There is also a sleeping loft (with no bedding included but can be added as an extra.) Please bring your own pads and sleeping bags to use the loft or pitch a tent in the front yard. The front yard is fenced and has a fire pit. Always be fire conscious - never burn outside of the fire pit and extinguish all fires before leaving or bed. You are free to relax in the natural beauty of this place, meditate while walking our earthen labyrinth or hike around the property along the ridge and on the logging roads that descend on each side. Please respect all signs and private residents. JDSF has extensive hiking and mountain bike trails accessible right from the cabin or a short drive away. The breathtaking Mendocino Coast offers an abundance of activities from the forest to the ocean headlands and beaches.Aloha Cabin is the ideal spot for your camping getaway, mountain biking adventure or escape from the stress of the world.

Aloha Cabin
Romantic and remote
My partner and I had a truly enchanting time - we wanted to get away to connect, celebrate a couple milestones, and write, and this was a perfect place to do so! The quiet, the gorgeous forest, the open meadows, the walking labyrinth, and the walking trails supported our peaceful time. We loved building a fire in the wood stove each morning and evening, and roasting hot dogs over the outdoor fire pit (keep in mind that while there are frying pans and a couple knives, cups, plates etc, there aren’t any perishables there, only salt and pepper, we wished we had brought a few more cooking items, not a problem, totally on us!). As the info on the listing clearly states it is definitely far, farther than we expected, especially with the updated directions we received - we were lucky we grabbed some extra supplies on our way, because even though we had planned on going into town for dinner one night, after arriving, we agreed we did NOT want to do those roads any more than absolutely necessary (and we’re familiar with back country roads). This was not a problem, just true! This property was clean, well prepared, and private - just what we needed. So if you’re looking for a very remote slice of forest heaven, this is it!

Aloha Cabin
The Aloha cabin was amazing! We had a great time hiking and mountain biking on the trails nearby, and relaxing in the yard or on the porch. The cabin itself is super cute and has everything you need for an unplugged weekend. And as a bonus, our dogs loved it too!

Aloha Cabin
Cas's cabin was an ideal getaway for us and our two furchildren (a dog and a cat). You feel incredibly remote even though you're only 25 minutes from the center of Mendocino. The cabin itself is well appointed with a cozy fireplace, a well-stocked kitchen, a comfortable bed, a hot outdoor shower, and all with beautiful views of the surrounding redwoods. The morning light is perfect for a cup of coffee on the porch. We arrived after dark and managed to find the cabin thanks to Cas's clear instructions. We'll definitely be back to Old Mill Farms soon!

Outstanding location for anyone looking for a truly remote stay in the forest. The unit was perfect, exactly as described, and the owners were very responsive. We can't wait to find our way back to this cabin for a longer stay!

The cabin was amazing. The host and caretaker were very fast in any requests we had. I would love to come back whenever I want to get away from the City.

Aloha Cabin
Such a peaceful, quiet, private spot to escape to. We had a wonderful time at the Aloha Cabin. It was the perfect size for my husband and me. The kitchen is stocked with basics - pots, pans, French press coffee maker. The outdoor shower was amazing and feels really provage. The land around the cabin is beautiful we ended up skipping our planned hikes to explore the property. The site was easy enough to find using the directions sent by Cas.
