The Glass House, located at the heart of Mar Vista, is designed like a greenhouse and sets the stage to create meaningful moments.
The Scandinavian-style cottages at Mar Vista are historic buildings that date back to the 1930s and were originally built to house sport fishermen.
Mar Vista is where the Pacific Ocean meets the forest along Mendocino County’s “secret coast.”
Mar Vista is in full harmony with nature. Cottages offer forest, garden, ocean, and majestic landscape views.
Cottages are bright and airy, each one-of-a-kind with distinct charm.
Kitchens include a stove, oven, refrigerator and microwave that allow guests to prepare meals utilizing goods from local purveyors and complimentary ingredients grown on site.
Every cottage is designed as a place to live, not just stay.
All cottages are outfitted with fireplaces, antique furnishings, plush bedding and kitchens.
