Gorgeous scenic property
Middle Ridge Retreat is just that: a beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to get away from it all. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ron & Marilyn's lovely home in the woods, and appreciated the fact that it's just minutes away from Mendocino and other places we wanted to visit. Ron & Marilyn even provided driving directions, saving us time driving up from the Bay area. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! :)

Relaxation Getaway
Marilyn and Ron's description of their home and property is right on and they made things so easy on our end. The photos just can't do it justice - the property and landscaping are amazing, and this is a gorgeous, comfortable home that brings nature in. We especially appreciated our dogs being welcomed with fresh water and dog treats! :) We would love to stay here again in the future!

Escape from Reality
The photos do not do this property justice. If you want to leave the world behind stay here. It is peaceful, relaxing and well gorgeous. The home itself is magnificent and the grounds are truly breathtaking. The owners have done a marvelous job of making their home feel like your home only much better. We loved it here and will stay here again.
