Mar Vista Farm + Cottages on Mendocino's 'Secret Coast'
Set upon nine largely undisturbed acres along Mendocino County’s “secret coast," Mar Vista Farm + Cottages in Gualala, Calif. is safety in seclusion, a mindful escape where life slows down, and physically distanced by design.
The cottagecore lifestyle runs strong at Mar Vista with 11 vintage cottages, gardens, an orchard, and a forest of redwoods and pines. Guests can reconnect with the land, themselves and each other through nature activities, from wandering among the trails and trees to stargazing under uncommonly dark skies.
Every cottage is designed as a place to live, not just stay.
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.
Cottages are bright and airy, each one-of-a-kind with distinct charm.
Mar Vista is in full harmony with nature. Cottages offer forest, garden, ocean, and majestic landscape views.
Mar Vista is where the Pacific Ocean meets the forest along Mendocino County’s “secret coast.”
The Scandinavian-style cottages at Mar Vista are historic buildings that date back to the 1930s and were originally built to house sport fishermen.
The Glass House, located at the heart of Mar Vista, is designed like a greenhouse and sets the stage to create meaningful moments.
