We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, comfortable, and well cared for, and it felt easy to settle in right away. Kitchen was well stocked and super spacious. The host was very responsive and communicative, which we truly appreciated. Overall, a great experience and a place we’d gladly return to.
The Orchard Hill home is a great place to stay. It was clean and had everything we needed, well stocked home. The house is centrally located with a quick drive into Fort Bragg. The home has been newly remodeled, updated kitchen and bathrooms. The only heat source is the gas fire place. Plan accordingly. Even with all the rain we had the home stayed warm. Great size yard in front and back. Not listed is the couch is a pull out bed.
Absolutely lovely and comfortable home. Perfect for our family of six to vacation. Very clean. The backyard was perfect for s’mores and frisbee. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of warm blankets. Loved the area as well. So much to do and see in a short span of the coast. Having a few cleaning towels or dish cloths would be helpful.

We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the home and the area, and that the backyard was a hit for your family. We appreciate your suggestion about the towels and will keep it in mind. We'd love to welcome you back!
My sister's and I chose this house for our annual sister's retreat and it was perfect for the 5 of us! The house was exactly as listed and was stocked with everything we would need in the kitchen and baths. We enjoyed lounging on the back patio and playing our cards and dice games on the large round dining table. The 3 bedrooms all had comfortable beds (though one bed needed use of a step stool to get into because it is so tall (we found in one of the closets) The neighborhood is super quiet. And getting into town and to the various beaches was easily navigated. We went to the Wednesday farmers market and arranged ahead of time to go to their Lions club and did their escape room. It was so much fun! The host was easy to communicate with and the fact that you don't have to strip the beds and start laundry while you're getting packed up to leave ( like most places) made departure morning unstressful. We would highly recommend this house and look forward to coming back again!
