Star House Lodge - Ocean Front Timbered Lodge

Star House Lodge has been beautifully remodeled, with tasteful, high-end furnishings and decor. The perfect location for all your Mendocino coast adventures.

This ideal location is less than 1 mile from Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. The historic Mendocino Village and all it has to offer is just a short 12-minute drive. From this central location, you can be at MacKerricher, Russian Gulch, or Van Damme State Park in less than 15 minutes. These parks offer a variety of activities, including horseback riding, kayaking & beachcombing, tide-pooling, and extensive hiking trails. Glass Beach and the new Coastal Trail are just 3 miles away.

The Star House Lodge is situated on a large oceanfront parcel shared by the Star House. Because of the cliff front location, there is a minimum age of 10 years and over required for any guests.

The lower level includes a cozy living room where you can watch tv, read a book or relax on the sofa while watching the waves. There is also a separate ocean view bedroom and a full detached bath.

The second level is an open concept featuring a kitchen, an eat-in countertop with an ocean view, and a living room with flat-screen TV large all with stunning views of the pacific. Also, on this level, there is a custom queen-size Murphy bed that still allows ample space in the room when down.

A door on this level leads you to the impressive wraparound balcony that can be accessed by the exterior staircase leading to the lower deck. This tranquil space is perfect for unwinding with your morning coffee, tea, or glass of wine in the evening. All while taking in the ever-changing ocean views and stunning sunsets.

Although Star House Lodge is pet friendly, please note that it is limited to dogs only with a maximum number of no more than 2.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free cottage offers games.

Excellent stay at the Star House Lodge!

The place is super clean, beautifully updated and decorated, and very private. The location and the view are both spectacular! Overlooking the cliff is a great place to be when you want some peace.

Modern stay on the bluffs

Love this place and would stay here again. Everything is renovated beautifully. We loved sipping coffee while watching the hummingbirds outside the window. The Murphy bed was comfortable as well as the main bed. We were incredibly bummed that the fog never lifted during our stay. The water is RIGHT THERE, but we never saw it. Location is great, close to ft Bragg and Mendocino. Of note, we felt weird taking a shower or washing dishes because it is plastered everywhere about how bad the drought is. It is also weird that they want the dishes clean before departure, but they won’t let you run the dish washer as you leave. Makes the AM checkout complicated. There is also a fog horn in the area 24/7 that we could hear while trying to sleep.

The nicest vacation rental we have ever rented!

This beautiful house is the nicest vacation rental we have ever rented. It has an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean, and you can hear the waves with the windows open. The layout of the house is ideal, The living room and kitchen are on the second floor to maximize the ocean views. The bedroom and bathroom are on the lower level along with a second comfortable seating area. The furnishings are very tasteful and the house is immaculately maintained. We would stay here again without hesitation!

Beautiful property. Owners did a wonderful job preparing this property for rental. The views are amazing. Quiet, except for the rolling waves. We loved it. Should have stayed longer. We’ll be back.

A beautiful and peaceful escape

We loved everything about this place. It was so peaceful with such amazing views. It was close to Mendocino, the Harbor in Fort Bragg, etc. The kitchen had most of what you need to cook some simple meals but the food at restaurants and cafes in that area is so good that we didn't eat in that often. The only thing that confused us was that it said to park by the blue fish but they are weathered so they are white, LOL. Heads up there is not table to eat at but the bar counter facing the ocean has great stools for eating.

I absolutely loved this place. The view of the ocean from upstairs and downstairs was spectacular. The place was neat clean and cozy and had all the amenities that was needed.This place is definitely on my good list for future stays when I come to fort Bragg . If I could make one request to management it would be to fix the stairs going to the beach there was a chain blocking entrance…, I would have loved to go down to the water there ,so close, to the property. fixing that one thing ,would be hitting it out the park… thank so much for a beautiful get away….

We watched a seagull stay tight to her next on the big grassy rock. Dad would come by occasionally to bring her food and fend off predators. The young deer enjoyed us sharing the area with them.

Stunning location, and a pretty private property with a lot of open space. Perfect unit for two people. Easy check in, and out. Only negative was that the bed wasn't very comfortable. Also, when we used the heater there would be a musty smell that was unpleasant.
