CHOICE OF POSITIVE EXPERIENCES!
We're perched just south of what the Northern California coastline was hundreds of years ago, referred to as The Lost Coast. We're in Westport with Fort Bragg to the south of us about 25 minutes, Mendocino about 20 minutes further.
Which means you have options. From hiking trails, local shops, restaurants, and cute boutiques away from here, you also have pristine nature and a private path to the beach to bask and rejuvenate in. Also on the property are various places to explore, including the original Farmhouse, the solarium and library of the Carriage Barn, the creek, the gardens, and a loop trail to an Enchanted (Redwood) Forest.
