The most amazing home. We arrived after dark which was a little tough. Not far past Mendocino quick trip to town. The pictures do not come close to what you walk into. Heavenly! The kitchen has everything and I mean everything! The artwork, views and comforts are 10 stars Thank you Rio Luna we’ll be back many times.

A total of 6 people (3 couples) stayed very comfortably at Rio Luna in April. What an amazing house! It overlooks the Navarro River and Pacific Ocean. The open kitchen was very functional and fun to cook in. We were originally going to eat at a restaurant on our second night, but we decided to "stay in" to take full advantage of all this house has to offer. Very memorable stay and we hope to be back someday!

My friend and I had the best getaway at Rio Luna. The staff at Mendocino Preferred were so accommodating and kind. I had messed up our reservation and they were able to help me correct it. Then when we arrived it was absolute perfection. The home was so comfortable and just stunning. It was close to so many activities amenities so we never felt bored. We both wished we could have stayed longer!

We had five members of our family together to enjoy the Alexander Valley White Wine weekend. Rio Vista was a perfect home base - the views beat any accommodations we could find in the valley. Definitely a lovely property, and I hope we find our way back soon.

Rio Luna exceeded all of my high expectations! The house is beautiful and takes full advantage of the amazing views. It was equipped with anything that we could have needed and Mendocino Preferred made sure check-in/check-out and all communication was simple and flawless. The location of Rio Luna is ideal! We were able to explore the coast from Manchester to Fort Bragg with ease and also drive highway 128 through the Anderson Valley, which may be the most beautiful drive I’ve ever taken! Thanks for sharing this wonderful place, we will be back!

This home is delightful. The location is wonderful though it’s tricky to find. Follow the directions , not the GPS . This home is welcoming and has a calming feel to it. Loved the music posters and lyrics throughout the house. You look down on Navarro River from the kitchen and dining windows. Such a unique view. The oval windows at the end of the living room and also in the master bedroom suite look out through the trees to Navarro Beach and the ocean. A pretty and interesting view. The upstairs is open and airy and comfortable. Unusual fireplace , but it puts out nice heat and burns a good fire. Nice on a foggy or wet day. The upstairs bathroom is amazing and is across from the Queen bedroom ( which is just ok). The kitchen is so well stocked with cookware, dishes , glasses, etc. It’s a kitchen for those who like to cook. Both bedrooms downstairs are massive , but only the front bedroom and bath is redone. It’s lovely. The other room though large and practical, it is dark and stuck in the 80’s. Needs a refresher. Other than that no complaints. It was so nice to bring our two dogs own h a nice home. Mendocino Preferred was great to work with. We’d definitely rent through them and would return to Rio Luna for sure.

My wife and family absolutely had the best time at the Rio Luna home in Mendocino! The home has a view of the ocean and beach that is amazing! We couldn't have asked for a nicer relaxing place to spend quality time in. Thank you!!!
This house was absolutely spectacular! It was clean, beautiful, and very inviting. It was a bit hard to find as our GPS sent us on a little adventure, but once we knew where it was, there wasn't a problem. I would recommend this house to anyone and we will likely stay here in the future, if it is available.

What a great place. We have stayed here several times and each experience has been wonderful. This is the perfect location if you are visiting the Mendocino area. There are so many things to do near by including wine tasting, hiking, and beach time. The house is extremely comfortable and relaxing if you just want to relax and enjoy the amazing view. We would highly recomend this place to everyone.
Location location location… Rio Luna does not disappoint. The views were amazing and time seemed to stand still as you stare into the Navarro River and try to figure out where all the water goes when it stops before the beach.The house was to die for and we enjoyed the deck and hot tub a lot.Only complaint that some of our friends had was that the beds were too soft.

We had a great time at Rio Luna.I think it's run by a great crew of management who truly cares about all the details. The house is a little dated, but high-end back in the day and well maintained. E.g. Gaggenau Steam combi oven! Very remote which turned out to be a good thing where we could unplug and relax. It was perfect for my family of 4 and our active dog.
