A Short Walk Away
Russian Gulch Waterfall & Trail
One of the special things about staying at Caspar Cottage is the location. Guests can walk from the cottage down through a magnificent redwood canyon to the waterfall in Russian Gulch State Park.
The Mendocino Coast is a magnet for artists, dreamers, nature lovers, hikers, beachcombers, birders, mushroom hunters, and whale watchers.
The Space
A comfortable cottage with everything you need to settle in.
Inside, the cottage includes a sunny living room with original art, hardwood floors, a new sleeper sofa, a fully equipped kitchen, and a beautiful marble-tiled bathroom with a jetted bathtub and large shower. Flames from an enameled European propane stove bring the warmth and coziness of a fire with the convenience of a thermostat. We provide organic coffee and tea, wholesome bread, butter and jam, and a bowl of fresh fruit and flowers for our guests. You’re welcome to wander the vegetable garden. We have many guests who return year after year. It’s all about hospitality! Let us know if you’re celebrating something.
Outdoors, there are a picnic table & chairs, a gas BBQ, and string lights overhead for evenings and stargazing.
We want Caspar Cottage to feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.
