Windy Hollow Farm Cabins consists of two small, hand-built sleeping cabins set on working farmland with direct access to gardens, a greenhouse, and trails that wind through the property. The cabins themselves are genuinely rustic—compact spaces designed for people who want to be out exploring rather than staying indoors. What sets this apart from a typical cabin rental is being embedded in an actual working farm rather than isolated in the woods; you’ll see and hear the rhythms of the place, and there’s a real farmstead quality to staying here. The property sits on acreage near Point Arena on the Mendocino Coast, about 20 miles north of Gualala. The area is known for dramatic coastal bluffs and relatively quiet beaches, with the Point Arena Lighthouse accessible nearby for coastal views.

Dogs are welcome at Windy Hollow Farm. The property’s layout works well for them: the acreage allows your dog to roam and explore outside your cabin without feeling constrained to a tiny yard. Trails on the property vary in difficulty and mix open pasture with wooded sections, providing immediate walking options. The farm setting means you’re somewhat removed from town amenities, so bringing groceries or planning ahead for supplies makes sense. If you’re driving from the Bay Area, expect about three to three and a half hours.

Each cabin has kitchen access and grilling available, which matters for longer stays when you want flexibility with feeding your dog on your schedule. Since these are sleeping cabins, you’ll do your own cooking if you want meals on-site. Your dog’s access to the Point Arena Lighthouse will depend on their policy at the time of your visit.
