Fern Cottage on Middle Ridge

Welcome to our cozy cottage, overlooking the beautiful redwood forest. Each window allows full views of Redwood and Fir trees, and some of our favorite old growth Redwood stumps (logged in the late 1800’s), with huckleberries, wax myrtle, wild strawberries, foxgloves and ferns complimenting the scene.

The cottage features a fully equipped kitchen and full bathroom with shower, wood fired stove, and private south-facing deck and backyard.

There are two queen beds, one in the floor-level common room (see pictures), and one up the captains ladder in the private loft room. Please note, the ladder is only recommended for physically capable adults and minors under parental supervision.

For an additional fee, it is possible to allow one tent with up to two occupants to set up in the cottage’s yard space.

The cottage shares the 7 acre property with our family home. We’re an active family of 4, with a 3.5 year old a 9 month old, plus a large breed fluff ball, named Zora. We love sharing our property with others, and hope they enjoy it as much as we do.

The wood stove is the main source of heat for the cottage (firewood provided). A small space heater is also available, but it is much cozier and effective to build a fire!

We are located in Albion, CA, about 20 minutes south of Mendocino. The quaint town of Albion has a well supplied general store & deli, post office, and hardware store.

Across the historic Albion Bridge is the Albion Marina and entryway to the beauty Albion River. We are also fortunate to have two fine dining establishments just 5 miles down the road.
