A - Coastal Orchard Vacation Rental With Apple Orchard

If you’re looking for a luxurious getaway worthy of Downton Abbey, The Coastal Orchard is the vacation home for you! This sunny property features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across the main house (4 beds, 2.5 baths) and the guest cottage (1 bed, 1 bath), set on a sizable plot of land with its own apple orchard. Live your best life strolling through the rows of thriving apple trees, and relax inside the home, where you’ll enjoy ample amenities, 50+ mbps internet, on-demand hot water, an exercise room, a game room, and lots of creature comforts – including A/C, a rare find here on the Mendocino Coast.


In the elegantly appointed living room, Regency-style furniture hosts a big-screen TV (with Comcast cable channels), while a plush, oversized couch offers plenty of seating for movie night or a Bridgerton marathon. The spacious and thoroughly modern kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances and a kitchen island. The granite countertops extending into a stone slab backsplash make clean-up easy, while the honey-oak cabinets evoke a warm sense of home.

The Coastal Orchard is a light-filled home, from skylights that keep rooms bright and airy to the recessed lighting throughout the house, providing unobtrusive but effective illumination. A sitting room with lavish Rococo Revival decor allows you to hold court and catch up with friends and family in style. The home gym has a treadmill, a stair-stepper, and weights. The laundry room has a washer, a dryer, and a sink, so you can keep clothes clean and even handwash your ballgown as needed.

In the game room, you can engage in some friendly (or fierce) competition as you play foosball or air hockey. The champion may get first pick of the bedrooms, but with five bedrooms equipped with luxurious and comfortable bedding, no one will be a sore loser.

Three of the five bedrooms have king-sized beds, and the other two have a queen-sized bed and a bunk bed, respectively. The bedroom in the cottage has its own TV, so you can cozy up in the blankets while watching your favorite shows. All of the bathrooms feature high-end fixtures, including bidets. The bathroom for the primary bedroom has a spacious tiled shower with a rainfall shower head.

Outside, you can sit on the patio and take your morning coffee, though the apple orchard offers an attractive alternative. There’s nothing quite like sipping a warm drink while roaming through rows of fully mature apple trees, especially in autumn, when the trees are heavy with ripe apples, and you can breathe in the scent of the fruit in the crisp air. The home also has a gas grill for cooking and dining al fresco.

The home is in Fort Bragg’s sunbelt, just far enough from downtown to enjoy peaceful days in seclusion soaking up the sun, but close enough that a quick drive takes you to the coast’s best destinations. From beaches to botanical gardens to galleries, the Mendocino Coast has an abundance of attractions and hidden finds, as well as award-winning restaurants. You’re just minutes from Noyo Harbor, where you can watch the seals and sea lions play, enjoy fresh-caught seafood, and book charters for fishing or whale-watching.

For the hiking-inclined, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and Jug Handle State Natural Preserve offer a variety of forest and ocean backdrops, while the nearby Coastal Trail offers a paved, accessible path alongside the ocean. (On the Coastal Trail, be sure to stop by the Crow’s Nest and the Whale House LaBONEatory, part of the Noyo Center for Marine Science, for educational exhibits on our marine wildlife neighbors.)

If you prefer a day at the beach, head to Pudding Creek in the north or Big River to the south for the quintessential white sand experience. A little farther north, MacKerricher State Park offers a boardwalk and panoramic views, as well as a black sand beach.

For the quaint coastal small-town experience, Fort Bragg and Mendocino each has its own charms. Mendocino boasts historical Victorians and preserved water towers, while Fort Bragg has a rich history of fishing and logging. In both towns, you’ll find world-class restaurants, cute shops, and friendly locals.

Of course, with a country estate awaiting your return, we totally understand if you decide to spend your vacation at The Coastal Orchard channeling a day (or week) in the life of European aristocracy. Whatever your preferred travel style, The Coastal Orchard is a romantic refuge, a spectacular sanctuary that is ready to welcome you to your Mendocino Coast vacation!
