Join us for a cozy supper celebration featuring wine tastings and pairings by Murder Ridge Winery, introducing their 2024 line for the very first time. The evening begins with a delicious oyster bar by Little Dory Seafood, followed by a warming shrimp and sausage paella prepared by Roll-With-It Catering. To end on a sweet note, enjoy a Basque cheesecake with membrillo compote.
Guests will also have the option to attend a holiday garland-making workshop with our partners RCLC (taking place just south of Mar Vista), and bring home a piece of the season.
The evening unfolds in our intimate Glass House, where select seats are limited. A two-night cottage stay is required for attending guests. We will open a limited number of seats to local attendees on a waitlist basis.

You know this place—or perhaps it just feels like you do. Mar Vista Farm + Cottages instills that sense in nearly everyone who visits our magical site on the “secret coast” in Mendocino County, where life slows down so you can forge stronger connections with nature and the ones you love. Here, the everyday fades away, replaced by a more conscious, simpler way of life.
Just across Highway 1 from the Pacific Ocean, Mar Vista offers vintage cottages, the Glass House events space, a redwood soaking tub, and nine acres of natural areas—forested trails, farm animals, harvesting gardens, spaces for family play, even private access to a secluded beach. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, families, furry friends, and gatherings, it’s as if you have your own private country getaway.
At Mar Vista, you’ll feel restored, reinvigorated, ready for whatever’s next. And you’ll realize that you did, in fact, know this place all along. Because ultimately, it is a reflection of you at your best.
Our 11 bright and airy cottages each feature a fireplace, antique furnishings, plush bedding, and a well-stocked kitchen.
From forest bathing to farm activities, Mar Vista is a mindful escape designed to bring you closer to the land and one another.
With coastal views and serene forests, Mar Vista is perfect for weddings, retreats, milestone occasions, and celebrations.
We consider ourselves the stewards of Mar Vista, rather than the owners. It is our dream to share this wonderful place with you.
Mar Vista is a place for people to be present and act with intention—and we act with intention as well, with sustainable farming and gardening practices, responsible water use, and more.
The Mar Vista experience is physically distanced by design, with wide-open spaces and a wealth of outdoor activities on our nine acres. We also have enhanced protocols to ensure a safe environment.
