This place is pure magic. Nestled above the fog in the woods of the Northern Mendocino mountain ranges, this cabin perfectly blends rustic charm and modern comfort. It feels completely off-grid and private, yet you’re less than 10 minutes from the coastal towns of Elk and Greenwood, and some of the most stunning beaches and rivers in the state.
The cabin has everything you need: a fantastic wood-burning stove and woodfired pizza oven, eclectic “bohemian pioneer” vibes, and thoughtful amenities. The Cal King bed is super comfortable, and the outdoor queen bed on the deck is perfect for stargazing and listening to the night forest sounds.
The grounds are a dream: soak in the woodfired sauna, unwind in the hot tub (ask ahead!), or make homemade pizzas in the outdoor oven. There’s even an outdoor shower and bath under the trees — an unforgettable experience. This is the kind of place that slows time. Whether surfing the coast, hiking through redwoods, writing your next novel, or simply retreating into nature, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. Can’t recommend it highly enough — we’ll be back.

Loved the cabin! A perfect getaway in and of itself and close to the beautiful coast! The tub was great!

Bob’s place was perfect for us. A unique rustic feeling cabin nestled in the redwoods complete with outside bathtub and shower (shower inside as well), a sauna, and PLENTY of cooking materials including spices!
We enjoyed the aesthetic outside and inside and especially the outside naps on the bed. Great proximity to beaches and Mendocino.
The only problem… now I want an outside shower and bed at my place!! Lol!

Coastal Ridge Cabin
Beautiful country, sweet cabin, extra cozy bed, well stocked kitchen. It feels like a real, cared for place and not another sterile vacation house. We were there for Christmas with our family of four and it was a perfect trip. Bon was responsive and very kind.

Coastal Ridge Cabin is an incredible oasis that truly provides an “into the out” experience.
Bon’s impressive ability to upcycle the entire cabin and its surroundings is incredible and creates a one of a kind place to stay.
The cabin has everything you need for a cozy getaway. The cabin is nestled in a private location with beautiful surroundings with and even has hiking trails right on the property to explore!
The bed was super comfy and the wood burning sauna is a lovely touch that we were very appreciative of during the colder evenings.
We hope to return again to this little slice of coastal heaven!

Coastal Ridge Cabin
We loved our stay at this quirky cabin. It had everything we needed and the location was close to beautiful beaches and hiking trails. We especially loved the old wooden stove and the sauna.

4 stars! Great private spot, enjoyed working from the deck and then beach excursions (10 min drive away). The outdoor shower was a joy and will try the sauna next time for sure.

Bon’s cabin and land is very special. Highly recommend as a weekend getaway or jumping off point for exploring the Mendocino area. Bed was comfortable and fully functional kitchen worked well. I would note the cabin is most ideal for couples, even though it is advertised for more people. At the time we visited, we knew going in that our adult son might need to stay on the couch, the weather wasn’t suitable this trip for him to stay outside on the bed porch.

We loved it here.
Great directions, the host was super communicative and responsive.
The cabin was lovely. With water and power. The kids loved the outside bath.
Super close to the beach and plenary of places to walk and just hang out in nature.
We super recommend this place. It’s got a magical vibes.

Wow! This comfortable, peaceful and well-appointed cabin truly exceeded expectations. Everything we needed was provided and more. The King bed was very comfortable and had plenty of blanket and pillow options. The porch bed was a great place to relax and watch the hummingbirds. And the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals.
Our dog had the time of his life wandering near the cabin and even made friends with the neighbor's dog who popped by to say hello. This is truly a magical place to unwind and relax. It's also a quick drive to many amazing restaurants if you want to treat yourself to an really delicious meal. We will be back - thank you so much Bon!

Great stay at an eclectic, rustic, yet well stocked and very comfortable cabin. Had all the necessary kitchen amenities, comfy beds, good internet, etc., in a very peaceful, serene location not far from good beaches, seaside towns, and good restaurants. Nice host who is very responsive to questions about the property or surrounding area. Very easy to disconnect here, our dog loved it also. Highly recommend.

My partner and I had a blast, and our dog was completely enamored. The cabin offers all the comforts you could want, with a gorgeous scenic backdrop.
We took full advantage of the outdoor oasis of the cabin. Lounging on the outdoor bed and taking in the view was a definite highlight. I enjoyed a hot soak in the outdoor bathtub, which also boasts a phenomenal view. We didn’t get to try the pizza oven, sauna, hot tub, or outdoor shower, but we felt like we had more than enough to enjoy at the cabin. The outdoor deck is relaxing, and the shaded area is a great spot for yoga.
The cabin is conveniently located near the stunning Mendocino coastline. Plus, the moderate coastal temperatures made our stay much more pleasant. We also got to enjoy the Navarro River Redwoods State Park, a hidden gem full of gorgeous redwood trees and a swimming hole.
Notably, the internet is fast, and it was strong enough to support a videoconference call I had to take.
The only caveats would be that there is a musty odor, and there seem to be critters frittering around on the roof at night (which would wake up our dog).
All in all, we highly recommend this beautiful private spot! Thank you, Bon, for making this rustic cabin experience available to us!

This is the second time we have visited Bon’s place and it didn’t disappoint. We just love the rustic setting and the amazing views from the patio. It’s quiet and relaxing and is equipped with everything you need. The only issue we encountered this time around was mosquitoes which I don’t remember being a problem last year. However, we went to a local store in Mendocino and picked up a citronella candle that did the trick. So just bring some kind of repellent just in case.
The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked and the indoor and outdoor bathing options are great! My dogs had a great time as well, running around the property. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away from the city and enjoy some outdoor time without having to do the whole tent camping thing.

This was our second time staying at this cabin. When not at the beach or on the river we spend a lot of time on the deck looking out at the trees. Our dogs love to romp around the property also. Although it has a good kitchen the house is rustic so don't have expectations of a regular Airbnb kind of place. It isn't flawless, but we love it and will definitely be back

We loved staying at this eclectic, relaxing place. Every nook and cranny was filled with personality and while all amenities are there, it still rustic enough to have a wild and remote feeling like we were really getting away from it all! Lovely beach is a few miles down the road. We enjoyed soaking in the outdoor tub and using the outdoor pizza oven and sauna too! Would def stay again!

Coastal Ridge Cabin
Cute and quirky:) Place was super cute and relaxing. Close to things but also far enough to feel like you're still in the woods. I LOVED the sauna and the cold plunge shower and used it twice a day! My dog had a blast exploring the property with me too! (just do a tick check after each romp). Bon's super nice and responsive. I'll actually be back in April so all went really well:). Thanks Bon!!

Magical place through and through. The spirit in this place is vibrant and the love the cabin and surrounding areas radiate is palpable everywhere. Bon was a great communicator and helped us figure out some fine details of making our stay the most comfortable. We stayed during a rain storm, so it was quite cold, but once we got the wood burning stove going steady it warmed up quickly and we were able to enjoy the outside through large windows with great views comfortably. This is a place we would love to return and are so grateful for the ethos of a wilderness cabin built of scrap material. The love for the earth and the space created within it was good medicine for us. Thank you.

This gorgeous land & property held us for the weekend celebrating a birthday & having a friendship reunion. The rain was cozy with the wood stove & we had a truly magical time cooking delicious foods, watching sunsets, bathing outdoors in the fabulous outdoor hot water tub & shower. I appreciated the dynamic spaces & the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware & some foods. In the practice of honesty & transparency we did have a few issues of which i can see could be resolved in the future before others come to enjoy this special space. Firstly, I misunderstood the posting & thought the mentioned trailer was available to accommodate 2 out of 4 of us but did not realize I needed to have a conversation & thought its need was implied via the head count. To be clear, the trailer after seeing it, absolutely is not inhabitable for various cleanliness issues & pest issues anyways so i am suggesting it not be offered unless it is given an incredible overhaul/clean/fix up. In the end that was *my* misunderstanding. The bed that my friends ended up needing to use was outside & because of the rain we brought it inside so they could sleep warm/dry. Additionally the mildew in the cabin bathroom was giving us all allergies it was so strong & the ceiling began to leak over the sink as soon as the rain started prob being the mildew source. They provided a dehumidifier that we kept running but it was generally unpleasant. Its a beautiful place, unfortunately its unlikely we would stay again.

My boyfriend and I loved the cabin experience! It was cute and felt spacious but cozy at the same time. We loved using the wood for the wood fire pizza oven, stove, and sauna! I also enjoyed the outdoor bathtub!
Our dog also had a wonderful time exploring around.
So many little wonderful amenities that really make the place a wonderful stay.
There was a minor leak in the bathroom while it was raining and therefore no light in the bathroom but nothing too bad just recommend packing a little portable light or head lamps.

WOWWWIEEEE BEST PLACE EVER!!! we had the best 3 nights at bon's cabin. we were here in november so it was chilly and raining half the time but we stayed so toasty warm inside. we took saunas in the woodfire sauna (a fun activity to chop wood and get the fire going), took outdoor tubs and outdoor showers, played horseshoes, went on a mushroom walk, took naps in the outdoor bed, slept like happy little babies in the indoor bed, made pizza and soup and played games and read and had the best time ever. so cozy, so comfy, had everything we needed, softest bedsheets ever, all the charm of a cabin but all the amenities you need! plus bon was really nice, helped walk us thru how to start the sauna fire, and gave us tips and was easy to reach and very helpful and nice. BEAUTIFUL home, beautiful property, so close to greenwood beach and mendocino where we had a lil night on the town at fog eater cafe (my fav restaurant ever!!) all around i have 0 complaints. THANK U BON THANK U NATURE!

The cabin was perfect for an intimate weekend with my girlfriend for our anniversary. It feels secluded and distant from everything else in the neighborhood and the various amenities are lovely; the outdoor bed, the outdoor shower and tub (which are well-screened in addition to the general privacy of the space), the wood stove was especially cozy given we were here in November. The kitchen is fairly well-equipped and has a variety of staples, though like most shared kitchens other guests do not treat things respectively or damage them. Bon was a responsive and helpful host who answered every question we had. For two people it's just the right balance of spacious and cozy. I would estimate that with some sleeping bags you could squeeze perhaps six people into the cabin (two would be sleeping on the deck bed.) Definitely would recommend, and we are thinking about coming back in a warmer month!

The cabin is comfortable and has a lot of thoughtful, eccentric touches. Due to a cleanliness issue and unsettling phone call with the host when requesting clean bedding, we did not feel comfortable staying for the duration of our booking. The host was understanding and gave us a refund.

Very cool cabin, pretty much in the raw wilderness.
We loved eating the wild huckleberries and the quirky, homey uniqueness of the hand-built cabin. We sat in the redwoods after the rain and watched the banana slugs. Great for the soul.

Place was extremely quiet and private which is what we were looking for (getaway from the city without our son). Compared to an airbnb it is very rustic and could use a more thorough cleaning but compared to camping it is posh! Bed and couch were comfy and kitchen was utilitarian (fridge, microwave, and high heat stove). We had a very relaxing stay and would come again.

This place is awesome. It was tough to leave for day trips because of how cozy and fun this place is. Bon is super friendly and accommodating and I definitely hope to be back soon.

Bon’s cabin was everything we wanted — a quiet retreat with no one in sight, a short drive from cute coastal towns, and super cozy for reading, hot tub soaking, and cooking.
Photos don’t do the place justice! It’s so charming and clearly was built with love. It’s rustic, but so comfortable, and has everything you need. We savored morning coffee on the porch while chipmunks ate their breakfast on the railings nearby, and loved the quiet evenings when the stars came out. We’ll definitely be back.

This was a rustic and beautiful property! Our family stayed with our dog and one child. The views of the sunrise in the morning were spectacular and the peace and quiet away from the sounds of the city were just what we needed. There are ample amenities that you won’t get at a standard campsite and the beds are very comfortable. Bon was an excellent host, answering our questions promptly and assisting us with local surf spots to visit. The property provided ample opportunities for wildlife viewing - we were visited my some peacocks, were able to watch some bats at dusk and even had a bear wander through (luckily Bon has a wildlife cam so we were forewarned that we might get a visit). The outdoor tub was an exceptional treat unfortunately we weren’t able to use the sauna or pizza oven as our visit was only a few days but we will be back for sure!

This Cabin is so cool! Creatively built and had everything we needed plus a lot more than w expected. Views are amazing, being above the fog was a sight to see every morning and evening. Works as a great hub for exploring nearby beach towns as well. Bon’s a great host and quickly answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!
