This place was so cozy and homey! The location was quiet and secluded, had beautiful views, all while being just a few minutes from town. John and his family were very kind, welcoming, and attentive. Had no issues, internet worked great, I would definitely stay here again and 100% recommend!

Check-in was as simple as could be. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property was clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed the fireplace and the glassed-in room was a fun place to gather.

Beautiful country home

We were greeted as soon as we arrived to a beautiful location in the woods. The home was very spacious and inviting. We had a fantastic stay and would love to come back again!

Just perfect!

The hosts were very helpful and kind. The house/setting was lovely and just what we needed. Quiet, relaxing, but also fun! The ping pong table was a hoot! We will certainly be booking again for next year. Pricing was really reasonable too. A win-win for us! Thank you so much!

Inglenook

My two grown sons and I try to get up to the Ft. Bragg area for a few days every year about this time, and we found this place to be just about perfect in every way. Owners John and Wendy were excellent hosts, both friendly and accommodating. The house itself had tons of character, something I always look for in accommodations when we stay there in that area. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Truly a hidden gem!

We absolutely loved our stay here!!! It was cozy and welcoming and a perfect home away from home. Our main priorities when staying anywhere are cleanliness and safety and this cabin was perfect in those regards. Everything was very clean and in working order and John was a great host. We loved the unique character and features of this cabin! The kids loved the loft areas, exploring the grounds and reading the books, and we loved that it was private and remote while still being close to town and the beach. Being in the forest while also being able to see the ocean was magical. Highly recommended! Staying here was a highlight of our trip.

Thank you Rachel for a thoughtful and articulate post! I wish I had time for the same at the moment, but instead I hope it will suffice to share with everyone that it was a great pleasure to host you and your family. We enjoyed all our interactions and really appreciate the care you took in your stay here.

It was a cool spot. There are two lofts upstairs in either side of the house and another room downstairs. There are though no doors to any of the rooms. It’s a wide open yet somehow secluded floor plan. Very cool for families with kids. There are no TVs and not working WiFi and no reception.

Beautiful Home Away from Home

This was the main highlight of our fun vacation in Fort Bragg / Mendocino. The house is right at the border of the forest and has excellent views of the both the forest and the ocean. Keep at least a night to view the sunset from the bed as viewing the sunset is worth it from the house when you're not on the beach. The greenhouse / glasshouse attached to the house was where we ate most meals as a family under the stars. Seeing deer wandering around while sipping on wine was the best combination of being in nature and relaxing. My preschooler daughter had a lot of fun just being outside playing and running around: it's beautiful! There is also a cozy room upstairs for star gazing which has its own charm. The place was clean, and everything we needed was provided for. The location is convenient as it was barely a minute away from the highway. The hosts were responsive, polite, courteous and very helpful. The went out of their way to accommodate us and resolve any concerns we had. We couldn't have asked for more. We definitely see ourselves visiting this property again!

Gautam and his family were great guests! Extremely sweet and nice. Communicated well about any issues that came up. Left the kitchen the cleanest we have ever seen! Followed house rules and were very appreciative of everything. We'd be happy to host them again!

Ft Bragg

Fantastic stay. What a cool property. Quiet, remote and cozy. Just like we wanted. We arrived after dark (the drive up the private road was a little creepy at night. Lol) so we did not get a full appreciation of the view. Awoke in the morning to a view of the ocean on the horizon and deer in the adjoining pasture. The house itself is amazing. It’s kind of like I just walked into my grandparents’ house. Complete with China cabinets and family photos. It also had a great little library. It has all of the appliances you would need, not super modern but in good working order. Great Wi-Fi, if it isn’t working when you get there make sure the router by the front door is plugged in, the previous guests may have wanted a true getaway. There was zero AT&T cell coverage so the Wi-Fi calling was clutch for us. There are plenty of beds but since it is essentially one big room with 2 open lofts privacy is hard to come by. Overall, an incredible stay. Highly recommended.

Thanks Dana, so glad you enjoyed the place!! Yeah, the new fence on the left makes the driveway at night a bit less than ideal. Glad it becomes transparent during the day. Arriving at night yields a wonderful surprise in the morning. Thanks for being such great guests too!
