Chanticleer

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This three-bedroom Mendocino vacation rental, called Chanticleer, is a beautiful artist's retreat. There are two wrap-around decks overlooking the ocean, a vintage cone fireplace, original artwork adorning the walls, and a garden and private viewing deck nestled amongst the wooded glades.

Chanticleer is 45 miles from hiking and picnicking along 45 redwood-coved acres at Admiral Standley State Park Recreation Area. You'll be 41 miles from wine tasting at Elke Vineyards, and 37 miles from B. Ryan Animal Preserve. Russian Gulch State Park and Point Cabrillo are both about a mile away.

The stunning asymmetrical exterior of the home is surrounded by ferns and natural vegetation. Chanticleer has three levels and two separate wrap-around decks providing magnificent views over a wooded glade to a whitewater view of the Pacific Ocean. The upper level offers a bathroom, two guest rooms with queen-sized beds, and an extra sleeping space with a futon that can fold into a double bed. Each room is cozy and inviting with vintage wood paneling, and eccentric collections of artwork, seashells and decor.

The middle level of the home offers floor to ceiling windows in the posh, open-concept living room. Dive into your favorite crossword on the leather loveseat or sit down to a cup of coffee in one of two leather armchairs. An ornate red and blue rug and modern floor lamps tie the room together, while Redwood paneling makes the space feel rustic and charmingly vintage.

A cone fireplace reminiscent of the 1970s and a rack of wood punctuate the living room, inviting guests to curl up with a blanket by the fire. A wrap-around deck just off the living room offers patio chairs, making it the perfect spot for taking in the fresh sea air. When you aren't taking in the views, watch satellite TV, or pop in a DVD or VHS movie at the media center. Just off the living room is a small den with built-in bookshelves and a CD and cassette player.

The dining room is adjacent to the living room. A farm-style dining table and built in bench for six will allow you and your guests to break bread together. Quaint muffin tins and original artwork adorn the dining room shelves, and the fully-stocked kitchen offers a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, stove, and toaster. This home also features a private washer and dryer for your convenience.

Downstairs is the master suite complete with a private bathroom, queen-sized bed, and private sitting room with a built-in desk, TV and sofa. The master suite also has a romantic private deck for midnight toasts of champagne and star gazing.

The 2,100-square-foot home is on one acre, and has room for seven guests. The outside deck leads to manicured gardens and a viewing deck up a walkway from the house, making it a favorite spot to enjoy the sunsets and watch the woodpeckers. WiFi access means you can stay alert and plugged in! And don't forget to bring your furry friends: There is a small nightly fee if you want to bring dogs.

For a day trip, drive five minutes to Mendocino and visit the Sea Glass Museum, featuring hand-crafted jewelry made from local beach glass. Order a plate of comfort food at Lumberjack's Restaurant, or take the self-guided discovery trail through untouched redwood groves at Hendy Woods State Park.

No matter how you spend your visit, this Mendocino vacation home is the perfect artist's retreat to slow down and get inspired by the beauty of nature, with all the comforts of home.

*Please note that this home's two steep staircases and the stand-alone fireplace are not well-suited for small children. Plan accordingly. Thank you!

Holiday get-away with family
We spent a lovely Thanksgiving holiday (a little early) at this property and mainly booked it for the windows and view. The property is more like an updated cabin than the photos show, but the home was spacious and comfortable for our group of seven. The upstairs has very little insulation so sound carries very, very easily (be forewarned if you have a person who snores in your group). We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal complete with desserts in the kitchen with relative ease. The huge windows were perfect for reading and relaxing during the rainy weather. One person in our group was able to work remotely during our trip and the wifi was more than adequate to support their video conference needs. The location was great, in a quiet neighborhood close to both Mendocino and Ft. Bragg.

We loved it here! Great location and the house was perfect for the six of us who stayed there. Lots of space, great fireplace, great view of the ocean. An older place, but so full of character. We had a great time!

Beautiful, peaceful, house with ocean view
If you are looking for a tranquil, beautiful house with ocean views, this is your place. The house is close to parks, town but still in a quiet location with beautiful ocean views. My wife and me brought the whole family and the house was big enough for all of us. I cannot recommend this house enough. I can hardly wait for my next vacation in Mendocino!

Great location for Mendocino county trip
This lovely ocean view property was very close to both Fort Bragg ca and the town of Mendocino. The listing talks about steep stairs to all bedrooms- if you are mobility challenged may not be for you. We left our suitcases down stairs and only used upstairs for sleeping. The whole place gives off a cabin vibe which I loved. If you are looking for something fancy not for you. The art work through out is amazing and was fun to look at—overall good value for the price

Amazing!
This is a lovely house with a spectacular view! It was clean, comfortable and the host was so friendly and interesting and accommodating. We stayed here for three nights and spent three nights further north, but we all wished we had spent the entire week here. If you arr thinking about this house, BOOK it! It is a winner!

My stay in Mendocino
The location and amenities were great. However, most of the mattresses were very uncomfortable which was disappointing. The living room furniture is beat up and not very comfortable, either. The internet and TV were wonderful and the kitchen had all that was needed to cook.

Beautiful location
This house was not quite as updated as the pictures show, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying every minute. We all slept very well and had plenty of pillows and blankets. It got warm during the day and cool at night, but opening windows and then using the portable heaters at night made it perfect. We had everything we needed except for a washer , which was broken at the time. I understand a new one is ordered. Thanks for a great stay!!

Filthy cabin
When we entered the house it was unswept, cobwebs on the baseboards, the entire house smelt of fish, the dishes all had a greasy film and all the cabinets had crumbs in them. The oven mits were filthy with dried food still on them! The house itself was ok but there was an overall feeling of unwelcomeness.

The biggest frustration was how long it took for Vacasa to get back to us. 5 hours the first time, when we couldn't find how to heat the house and were cold, and 8 hours the second time when we were requesting a later checkout. Other deficiencies included: No wine glasses, no serving bowls Lighting upstairs poor Light at lower level bathroom sink poor lighting No extra blankets upstairs Otherwise the place was adequate.

Broken
We booked this property so we could do laundry midway through our travels. Arrived to find washing machine broken and according to property management it had been broken for some time , ceiling fan - broken, dining room chair- broken leg. Couch-broken, end table broken. We ended up spending most of one of our "sightseeing " days and money in a laundromat watching the drier spin! Beautiful and peaceful setting but poorly managed and maintained. We did not come with unrealistic expectations we just expected basic things to work.

Vacasa, you’ve asked my opinion at least five times and no one responds
The water pump kept us up all night every 30 seconds to three minutes the entire time we stayed. All communication from your organization has dropped off. I cannot recommend this house we did not get any rest. It was a vacation from hell with the noise from the water pump cycling up on continuously day and night. I’d let you know about this and no one is getting back to me.

Can't afford next year
We absolutely love this house. Have stayed here 4 times. The last 2 times for 10 and 8 days taking advantage of the free day. It has become our home away from home we love the gorgeous views, the wood interior, the eclectic artwork and the perfect location. All of which made us willing to disregard the two burners that didn't work on the electric stove, the toaster that burned the toast, the cable that didn't work (granted they did give us a credit for no cable) and all the frying pans were not usable. On our last day this year when I was looking on line to book for next year saw that the price is almost double and there is no longer a free day after a 7 day stay. We can't afford the price and can't justify it with the things wrong. So sad to not be returning, we truely love this house, will miss it!

Beautiful Home, Uncomfortable but Beautiful
Our group loved the home, it was in a quiet location, with gorgeous views. The property was located out of town with good proximity to our favorite places. The major problem was the comfort of the furnishings. The furniture is very uncomfortable. After long days of adventure, there was no comfy sitting option. The couches are small, shallow and unwelcoming. The beds upstairs were just as bad. The dining chairs were the most comfortable of all the chairs and couches. The downstairs suite was lovely but reserved for our older parents, so while they slept well, and left rested, the rest of us left feeling terrible. I am not trying to be disrespectful of the owners or the property, but we will never go back to this house simply because we could not get comfortable on any of the furniture.

Nice Place, Nice Price, Needs new Door & Window
Pros: gorgeous neighborhood, great views, lovely garden. Cons: steep narrow driveway. VERY Hard to get out (can't make a U-turn! Very scary. Big window in kitchen doesn't close or lock. No screens on the windows (we could not get rid of 3 pesky flies for 3 days). Steep stair case to get to the bedrooms upstairs. Steep stair case to get to the master bedroom below (this was hard on our bad knees). Back door to deck from living room does not close or lock (single pane, big cracks in frame). Anybody could have come in from the front or back (no need for a key)! No large bowls (for salad or pasta), not enough mugs, plates chipped. Bed not that comfortable. But, it was a BEAUTIFUL area & view.

Mendocino Holiday
Overall, cabin was nice. Negatives: couches were small, enough for 2 people sitting upright with legs straight in front. Most furnishings looked like they came from a garage sale. Kitchen table at bench on one side necessitated by small space, but uncomfortible for older adults getting in and out. 3 levels. 2 bedrooms very small. Walls were more like thin partitions to create bedrooms. Made it easy to communicate easily with anyone anywhere in the house from any room. TV small and viewable only from 4 seats. Small counter top space. No garbage disposal. Bedroom (tube) TV had built in VCR player. Some people may need to look up what is a VCR player. No smart TV, but had HDMI connection for laptop. Positives: Clean. Excellent location- quiet neighborhood, nice view of ocean from living room and one bedroom. 2 miles from a nice beach. Dog friendly but no yard to play fetch. We probably won't return there, but I can see that it may be good fit for many. Also internet streamed well.
