Moon Star Cottage | Hot Tub, Ocean Front | Gualala
Welcome to your serene coastal hideaway — Moon Star Retreat’s detached Cottage, a private, intimate retreat perched along the rugged Mendocino Coast. Perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking quiet, comfort, and a front-row seat to the Pacific, this charming cottage offers the ideal blend of seclusion and natural beauty, just moments from bluff-top trails and breathtaking ocean vistas.
Inside, the cottage embraces a warm, calming simplicity. The inviting living room is filled with soft coastal light and cozy seating, creating a peaceful space to read, unwind, or enjoy a slow morning before heading out to explore. A thoughtfully appointed kitchenette provides everything you need for easy breakfasts, snacks, or simple meals enjoyed at your own pace.
The spacious bedroom features a comfortable king bed, ensuring restful nights after days spent adventuring along the coast. With its private layout and tranquil atmosphere, the cottage offers a quiet retreat that feels worlds away, yet remains close to the area’s iconic natural attractions.
Step outside to soak in the fresh sea air, savor your morning coffee, or unwind at sunset in your private hot tubs as ocean breezes move through the surrounding cypress and coastal landscape. The setting is peaceful, restorative, and perfectly suited for slowing down and reconnecting with nature.
Whether you're walking miles of bluff and forest trails, spending the afternoon at nearby beaches, or exploring the local charm of Gualala, Point Arena, or Mendocino, Moon Star Cottage serves as a cozy, comfortable home base for your Northern California getaway. Here, you’ll find the space to breathe deeply, settle in, and experience the Mendocino Coast at its most tranquil.
