All around Dennen’s Victorian Farmhouse; you will find trails and opportunities for adventure along the coast, through inland rivers and, of course, exploring the Mendocino redwood forests. Hiking is as easy as walking out our front door to our secret cove, but if you prefer to bike through the scenery, we can help arrange that as well.
