Northbound Whale - Splendidamente restaurato incantatore del secolo
Arroccata sopra la spiaggia di Van Damme, appena fuori dal villaggio di Mendocino, questa luce piena di gemme magnificamente restaurate del 1863, vi delizierà. Al piano superiore ci sono due camere da letto (1 letto king size, 1 letto queen size), un letto capitani (completo) e un bagno di servizio. La camera da letto principale offre una splendida vista sull'oceano, con suoni del Pacifico per farti addormentare.

C'è un ampio bagno / lavanderia con una combinazione vasca / doccia artiglio piede vasca.
Il soggiorno è luminoso e luminoso con un imponente camino in muratura che riscalda sia il piano inferiore che il piano superiore. La sala da sole è nella parte anteriore della casa, di fronte all'oceano con sedie di vimini per leggere, lavorare a maglia o guardare le onde che rotolano dentro. Proprio dietro la casa, c'è un sentiero che porta ad alcuni dei più bei scogliere e panorami, lungo il Pacifico. Proprio in fondo alla strada, c'è un breve sentiero per Van Damme Beach. La posizione, insieme al recente bellissimo restauro di questa gemma costiera, offre una magica via d'uscita.

The house is very charming, nicely decorated, and more spacious than we thought. We saw deers eating from the apple trees on the first evening. We also loved the hike to the bluffs that Dan and Lori recommended behind their house... such beautiful views! There are also plenty of nearby beaches and close to the attractions in Fort Bragg. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed a short but very enjoyable stay at the Northbound Whale, thanks Lori! The house is so cozy and welcoming, we felt right at home. The beach is literally down the sandy trail, and there’s lots to do in the surrounding areas. We’d love to visit again.

Such an amazing spot with a great location and so much charm. Loved the modern kitchen but cozy vintage style of the home. The beds were very comfortable and despite being close to the highway it was very peaceful and quiet. Host was very good at communicating with questions. The true gem was the quick walk to Van Damme beach via a path of roses just right down the road. Kitchen came stocked with everything we needed. I fully forgot a handle of vodka in the freezer so hope the next guests will enjoy cocktail hour! I definitely look forward to renting this place again.

All four of us older ladies really enjoyed our stay. The area was quiet, the house comfortable, and decorated so well. We loved the kitchen! The gas fireplace set such a nice atmosphere in the evenings. All-in-all we would definitely recommend. However please be aware that this might not be the best home for elderly individuals. The claw foot bathtub was not accessible for our elderly relative. Some of the other older ladies found getting in and out of the tub/shower challenging.

A great jumping off point very close to Mendocino Headlands Historic District, as well as beaches and the real treat for us which was Fern Canyon. The house was relatively clean and had everything you’d expect for a home rental. We had a little mishap with a fire alarm but the owners responded quickly via text. Also there are no views of the ocean from inside the house; perhaps the foliage has grown up since they added it to the description. They have a nice binder with info for local spots to explore and restaurants. WiFi worked great, beds were comfortable. It was so nice to open theWindow in the master and fall asleep listening to the ocean. I have added a few photos to the listing as well to fill in some missing and exterior angles.

Wonderful Women’s getaway
Northbound Whale House was the perfect place for for 5 women friends, who have been friends from college days since 1976! The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed in amenities and plenty of bedrooms, including comfortable beds! We will definitely rent from Lori and Dan again!

Quiet Location
Charming home tucked off the main road. The kitchen, master and family room/sun room were great. However, we felt that the bathroom conditions were a bit off. One shower/tub for four adults combined with a very ,very small upstairs bathroom with no space for toiletries was the only downside. But, overall we had a great time albeit a short visit.

Cute and very comfortable- loved the location
This is such a charming spot to stay! We were super comfortable and enjoyed the fireplace on chilly mornings and the sunroom during the afternoons. It was well stocked with anything you’d need. We also loved the proximity to the beach - a quick walk to little river beach. We also could have easily walked to Vanne Dam park (next time!)
It was lovely to hear the ocean from the house and wake up to the birds. Felt very private and quiet.
The backyard had great outdoor furniture - lots of spots to relax and grill.
Thanks and hope to be back!

Loved it!!
Overall 5 star rating. Super comfy, nicely decorated, had everything we needed. If I was to split hairs, it would have been nice to have some type of container in the shower to put shampoo, soap, etc…. There was nothing there so it made showering a little inconvenient. When it warms up in the afternoon, it would have been nice if there were screens on the entryways as well as the kitchen window. Just food for thought, but we loved our stay!

The 1863 Victorian home and the environs are perfect in every way. The beautifully remodeled home is consistent and beautiful in its interior design from furnishings, color pallet, adornments, patterned fabric to the floor coverings. The kitchen has all that is needed to make and bake from mixers, utensils, bowls and dishes. It stays warm inside with a gas fireplace that keeps the house toasty or turn it off and don a sweater. And yes, the beds are comfortable.We loved the easy access and twisted trail down to Van Damme beach and the Spring Ranch Trail behind the house with its 20 minute hike to a cliff overlook to the rocks and basking seals. Be aware the closest access to the Spring Ranch Trail behind the house is blocked off by a neighbor’s large gate and fence yet there is access around the corner on the other side of the inn around the corner on Rte. 1.The host leaves a comprehensive visit guide with all sorts of helpful information for the guest.Lastly, the home’s location is convenient to the anywhere you’d like to reach along the coast. On our short stay we enjoyed our hike and visit to Pt Cabrillo Lighthouse, exploring Mendocino and Gualala.At the Northbound Whale the visitor truly feels like a welcomed guest.

Wonderful House - But Beware...
We loved the house and our stay. The house was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. BUT, the main bathroom tub/shower is not good for anyone who is unsteady or has difficulty getting in and out of a raised elevated tub. There is no grab bar and the high shower head and hand held shower wand are not the best. The owners should install a new shower head and at least one or more grab bars. Or, better yet, replace the tub. Also, we assume the brown water coming out of the faucets was safe to use for teeth washing but not for other uses. Having the large 5 gallon water dispenser was great but a sign about the water service would have been helpful.

You Won’t Want To Leave!
This is such a special beach cottage. It is so cute and cozy! It’s beautifully decorated but not in a pretentious way. It feels like home and feels like a beach home. All the furniture is comfortable and makes you want to stay home by the fire and relax. The upstairs beds are super comfortable and gorgeous! I can’t speak to the downstairs beds but the bedroom is so sweet. So much love went into decorating these rooms to make it feel homey. The captains bed in the upstairs hall was adorable! I loved the selection of books and movies in there.I also appreciated the eco conscious choices in products and the well stocked kitchen. Bbq and fireplace both worked great. And I loved my soak in the clawfoot tub! The trail down to the beach is close by and not steep at all. It is a bit overgrown right now so be prepared for that. I had a hard time leaving this cottage, glad we had one foggy morning to enjoy coffee by the fire. With blue skies we sat in the sun room to enjoy the sea view through the pink roses. Gorgeous! Everyone in my family loved this choice. Even my teenager!

Exceeded our Very High Expectations
I recently stayed in this home with my 90-year-old mother and my three siblings, and we couldn't have been more delighted with it.
All five of us had our own private space to sleep in, with my brother taking the lovely little glassed-in front porch. What a bonus that was for five very set-in-our-sleeping-ways oldsters.
The clearly new kitchen/dining area offered us the perfect hub -- oversized island, high ceilings, generous dining table, multiple windows with stellar views, and more cooking amenities and than my own home, not to mention any other house I've rented.
The quiet country lane that this house sits on is beyond idyllic - in full view of the glorious Mendocino coast. The trail to the bluffs in back of the house is another bonus.
And the owner of the house was a gem in every way -- responsive, helpful and generally lovely.
I realize this sounds like an ad. I'm just a regular renter who is old enough to have stayed in dozens of rental properties, which I am notoriously particular about choosing. Doesn't get better than this one.

Beautiful Little River House
My bother and I spent time in this area when we were teen agers, loving the State Park at Van Damme and the lush beaches and headlands around the area. The town of Mendocino is a short two mile drive away for groceries and a charming walk around a beautiful, legendary town. This house would be wonderful for a family or friends to share! Loved it. Was up and down to the beach on the delightful trail across from the house at 7:00 am.

Perfect Getaway
We loved our stay at The Northbound Whale. There are many VRBO choices in the area. We felt this one felt much more like a friend's home than a rental--very nicely furnished and equipped. The location on a quiet lane above Van Damme Beach and close to Mendocino is great. We also had an opportunity to speak to our host and found her to be charming and helpful.

August 2021 stay
The location is wonderful. You can walk to the ocean or do a 10 min drive to an amazing hike. The house is adorable. Decorated to perfection. It’s very cute. Super cozy and beautiful.
There was no key when we arrived. We contacted the owner who did not respond for hours. She stated she was traveling. Which is understandable however in that case since she is running a lucrative business with her rental, she should appoint someone else for renters to contact . I had my baby with me and my fil who has brain cancer. We couldn’t stand outside in the cold for hours waiting for a key. My husband eventually found and open window and crawled through. Thank goodness there was no alarm. Another con was that we wanted to BBQ in her very cute outdoor area but there was no propane. Lastly she let me know after we booked and paid that we weren’t allowed to take a bath because of the drought and she went so far as to remove the drain stopper in the tub. We have a 2 year old who needed a bath. Overall it’s a great place however I do believe those small things could be improved.

We had a great time at the Northbound Whale. The house was absolutely lovely. Our 4.5 year old daughter especially loved the captain's bed. We had some hiccups with the home not being ready when we arrived, but overall we had a wonderful time and hope to visit the Northbound Whale again!

Perfect family vacation
I thank the property owner very much for a most delightful, comfortable stay in a most beautiful setting. We had a family gathering and enjoyed the beauty and charm of the house, which is so conveniently located within a short walk to the beach and so close to the restaurants and shops in Mendocino.. The house was filled with nice amenities and was so clean. We will definitely want to come back!!

Charming House
We enjoyed every moment in this charming Little River home celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary with our 2 children (12 and 14) and my mom. After a couple nights in a hotel in San Francisco, we were grateful for our own separate spaces with wonderful options to gather for meals and games. A great location for day trips. Evenings were spent making meals and enjoying the peaceful home both inside and out. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We recommend!

Fabulous week at the Northbound Whale
My family had a lovely week staying at the Northbound Whale. The house accommodated us beautifully with a large kitchen, comfortable beds, and perfect extras for a relaxing time -- we enjoyed the puzzles and games and movies in the house. Most of all, this house is located within an easy walk of the beach at Van Damme State Park, where we paddled and snorkled and enjoyed quiet beach walks, and bluff trails that overlook a beautiful rugged coastline with oyster catchers and seals and sea palms. My parents, my husband, and my kids all congratulated me on finding such a wonderful place to stay.
