If you need to be in or around Mendocino County or Ukiah, CA or the Redwoods Valley then you will not do justice to soul if you do not stay at this phenomenal spot on earth.
This place has the most amazing Energy. I had business to do in Ukiah two days and my clients wanted me to hang out and see Ukiah and Ukiah is a cute cute little town. I'd love to grow up there.
But for a place to stay I prefer the Beauty of these 6 acres meticulously manicured with fountains and beautiful gates, a phenomenal barn, hot tubs, 2 acres lake, multiple VRBO's being built out.
The three acre vineyard which greets you upon arrival. The Hot Northern CA sun slightly burning your skin during the day and the nights so cool you wrap up in very comfortable bedding and sleep like Sleeping Beauty.
The Pool is beautiful and refreshing, The Koi pond, the streams, the vegetable garden just knock your socks off.
And I have saved the best for last. The owners, Jerry and Melinda couldn't be more gracious. If you want privacy they leave you alone. If you need help they are there to provide it. But if you want company on your journey you will make two new friends in this fabulous couple. Their calling in life is quality and hospitality. I pray they never close this place and the excitement of them expanding in a bit is fantastic.
Not every guest may find themselves wandering toward the lake and stumble upon the Hobbit. The hobbit is the center of energy and inspiration for this fantasy land. An odd enough shaped building to look like it is from a Disney Cartoon, complete with a wooden door made from 1000 year local wood
Late in the afternoon you will find Jerry sitting in there with a contemplative look. Friendly and gracious he will want to get to know you. If time permits Melinda may come down from the house to join.
Personally, This was my favorite part of my stay. The long talks and sharing of life's ups and downs. Challenges and Triumphs.
The room and shower were beautiful and the bed extremely comfortable. The shower is big. Plenty of coffee for the Keurig and creamer in the fridge. A microwave if you need it and plates and more. Close to some great local restaurants and bars. A market and a bank. .
I don't know if I would go back for the weather and beauty or just to hang out with the owners. But thankfully, you can do both.
Do not waste your money on a hotel in Ukiah. It is twice as much money and only a 10 minute drive. and would be like night and day.
