About this space
Mendocino Coast Studio tucked in the village of Albion is a wonderful getaway. Perched over the Albion River with a bird's eye view of the historic Albion River Bridge and cove beyond for sunsets over the ocean. The sun rises over the river. Goings on down below including seals on the docks. A snug spot to hunker down or a comfy coastal stopover between the Anderson Valley wine region and the Mendocino coast. Please "read more" before booking, 2 guest maximum & no children under the age of 12.
The space
This studio is the only living space on the ground level of the property. As the house is carved into a hillside, there is one entrance from the driveway to a vestibule where there is the door to the unit and a separate door to the main house. A concrete floor with radiant floor heat separates the studio from the residence above for excellent sound-proofing and complete privacy.
A seating area, dining table and balcony with seating make this a delightful getaway spot.
Mini kitchen amenities include 2.2 cu ft fridge, a separate 1.1 cu ft freezer, compact countertop oven, microwave, two-burner hot plate, coffee maker, toaster, hand blender, cookware, dishware, drinkware, and utensils. For your entertainment and comfort there is wi-fi and a Smart TV with Xfinity.
Your rate includes 11% tax which covers Mendocino County Transient Occupancy Tax.
In this area cell phone service is spotty up to, and sometimes to Fort Bragg. However the signal for Verizon only is quite robust at the house. If your provider is T-Mobile, Sprint, or AT &T, it will not work on this property, but you may be able to use wi-fi to connect using your personal device.
Guest access
The access to the unit is through the carport. The entry room is shared by the guest studio and the main residence which is upstairs.
Other things to note
The last 200' to the driveway is a one lane gravel road. The driveway is a steep concrete driveway with a turntable at the top for a normal size vehicle (13' maximum wheel base). Large Sprinter type vans nor pickup trucks can use the turntable and will have to be backed down the driveway and there is a space below the property to do a three point turn to drive back up the road. No cars with trailers nor larger vehicles such as RVs will be able to easily access the property.
