Jughandle Creek Farm
For budget-friendly lodging on the Mendocino Coast, consider Jughandle Creek Farm, a rustic retreat set on 33 acres between Fort Bragg and Mendocino. With limited amenities, it falls somewhere between a youth hostel and a nature-focused getaway. Accommodations range from a private room with en suite bath in the historic main house, the bunkhouse with 2 accessible rooms (not reviewed) to a cabin with an accessible shared kitchen and bathroom, to the Osprey Cottage—the newest and most accessible option. All of these accessible accommodations sleep 2.
