            Framed
            by scenic views of valley and forest, Beside Still Waters Farm offers a secluded hideaway
            for travelers.  Nestled on over 21 acres in the
            mountains of Mendocino County, natural beauty abounds - clean air, pure spring water,
            stately trees and a bounty of wildlife.  A blanket of bright stars waits to envelop
            you while you soak up the quietude.  There is no rush or hurry, no traffic to
            tolerate.  Its the ideal retreat from the
            real world.  
            The
            cottages are charming and well appointed with fine antiques and luxury amenities.  Feel the warmth of the cozy fire while enjoying a
            favorite novel.  Yield to your daydreams while soaking
            in the whirlpool tub.  Melt away cares and tensions in the aromatherapy
            steam-shower and footspa (available in select cottages.)  Gilchrist & Soames bath
            amenities and handmade soap by Dancing Madrone Soap Company perfectly compliment the
            experience.   Be sure to borrow a puzzle or game and browse our video and CD library
            in the Media Room near the farmhouse.  
                
            Just
            8 miles away, explore Willits - one of Californias most authentic old-time towns.  Downtown offers a wide variety of dining options,
            as well as shops and museums.  All aboard!  Enjoy a ride through the towering redwoods on
            the historic Skunk Train - we'll pack a picnic for
            you!  If you're looking for a glimpse of western life long ago - visit The Mendocino County Museum or The Grace Hudson Museum and Sun House.  
            Train enthusiasts won't want to pass up a trip to the Roots of Motive Power Museum.  Take
            in a movie at the historic Noyo Theatre or enjoy a play at the Willits Community Theatre Playhouse.  For
            nature lovers, hike one of the many trails in Brooktrails Township.  Our central
            location is ideal for mini-excursions to Anderson Valley Wine Country, the Mendocino Coast,
            and the giant redwoods.
