My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Fisherman's cottage. We love Salmon Creek and enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the charming Cape Cod style decorations. The host left the lights and music on for our arrival which was very welcoming. You can't beat the proximity to the beach which is just a few minutes walk from the house. We would love to have a return visit to this charming cottage by the sea!

The kitchen has ants. Also, there is an animal of some sort in the kitchen who took some big bites out of a banana on the counter during the night.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was lovely. I would suggest getting the ant issue and spider issue under control as there were a lot of both. Also, for my ESA (registered with the VA) I would suggest letting dog owners know that the nearby beach as well as the three beaches north are not dog friendly.

Due to proximity to the ocean doors were sticking and door and gate hardware was corroding but I think that would be expected. The cabin, fireplace, furniture, dishwasher, excellent wi-fi and easy walk to the beach and Salmon Creek are all positives. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also another positive is the easy drive to restaurants and shops.

We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy and the kitchen was convenient. I highly recommend kayaking on the Russian River. We had a fantastic tour guide and there were very few people around so we got to enjoy the wildlife. Being from Wisconsin, we have always poked fun at the California Happy Cow commercials. It turns out that the cows in Sonoma County do appear happy. I can't yet vouch for the rest of your beautiful state.

What a sweet little cottage with a lovely location just steps from Salmon Creek and beach. I spent a quiet week working with great internet access and grandchildren ages 5 and 6 came over the weekend and enjoyed the cute twin bedroom and walk to beach. Would definitely recommend for singles, couples or small family. Can't wait to return!

Fisherman's Cottage

The cottage is quaint though is in need of some minor general repair. All doors to outside need to be weather sealed (very drafty). Some dishes/cups are chipped (in several places) and should be replaced. Yard is overgrown. Location is great, easy & quick walk to the beach. Overall it was a nice stay.
