Cottage vacation rentals in Fort Bragg

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the Castaway. The house is well organized and very clean. We spent hours at the beach with private accessibility which was great. Hot tub was a treat. We will definitely return.

This home is so sweet and surrounded by so many beautiful trees. The hosts are super kind. The home has a nice large yard for dogs, which was great. Gualala is a beautiful small town that makes a great get away from cities. Thank you!

We were thrilled to find Dan's Cove Cottage on AirBnB. My husband grew up camping at the Wages Creek campground with his grandparents every summer in the 1960s-70s. We brought our own children to camp there when they were little. Now that we're older, it was wonderful to experience the matchless beauty of this beach with every comfort thoughtfully provided for, and every glorious view framed by a window. There is even a telescope! The wood stove was very easy to use, with everything provided, including excellent instructions, but the heating system is state of the art and the fire is more for the coziness and glow than warmth (but remember to turn the heating system down if there's no fog). I particularly liked the variety of pillows available,Dan went out of his way to make sure we knew everything we needed to know beforehand, such as directions, where to shop for groceries, exactly how to access the keys, etc. When cell coverage is spotty, this is a great help to print out and bring.

Great place to stay for a weekend or an extended stay, great local beachs with even more in a short drive. Felt right at home and will definitely be staying again!

Had a great stay here. Everything was as described. No complaints!

We decided last minute to stay an extra night at the Russian River but had to be out of our other Airbnb. Marc and Brett were super responsive and made it possible for us to check into their place in the same day. The home is absolutely stunning, we were so sad to be there only one day. We bbq’d dinner and enjoyed the back yard and loved the porch! Will definitely need to do a longer stay!

Great experience overall!! It was amazing getting to wake up and see giraffes feeding ever day. I would definitely recommend booking a guided tour as the animals are amazing and the staff are super knowledgeable and kind! I would recommend making it an unplugged trip as data is spotty and the WiFi isn’t the best.

We came to the River House with a few friends to have a joint 50th birthday celebration. It was the perfect space! There were so many places for us to hang out, especially the hot tub set under the redwoods. The furniture was comfy, the kitchen was well stocked and Pierce was easy to communicate with. We are trying to think up reasons to return!

My family and I had an incredible stay at Gower’s Airbnb. Honestly, it was even nicer than I expected. This property offers a true California experience that’s incredibly hard to find. I’ve driven along Highway 1 many times, always thinking how amazing it would be to spend time on that beautiful coastal land you see from the road, and this property delivers exactly that. We had lunch and dinner overlooking sweeping views of untouched coastline and the beach below. There’s an easy path down to what felt like a private beach (we didn’t see another soul the entire time), and we spent hours exploring the black sand, walking the shore, and checking out the tide pools at low tide. The whole time, I kept thinking how rare and unspoiled this experience is. Gower has created an incredible home, thoughtfully designed with all the comforts you could want right in the middle of some of the most beautiful land in the world. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

Such a beautiful and peaceful retreat! Our dogs had a blast running around off leash on the hiking trail (the first part of the trail is steep but our dog with arthritis managed it just fine) and the house was incredibly well stocked and clean. Jeff and Trey were always very responsive and so friendly. I’m so glad this was our first trip with our newborn!

Great place to stay with our chihuahuas. Great neighborhood to walk in with them. No gated yard but our dogs have fine recall. Would recommend for families. Large spacious house with the essentials and a beautiful view of the water.

Jacquelyn’s Charming Cottage on the Mendocino Coast was exactly that. We fell in love upon entering the home and you can feel how much care they put into creating this special space. The local recommendations were perfect, the location was beautiful and we feel grateful we were able to make memories here.

I plan on staying here again in the future. I needed a much needed local getaway to reset from the hustle and bustle of every day life. This delivered and more. Every day was a struggle to want to leave the house because the views were absolutely breath-taking. Since food options are limited in the surrounding areas, I recommend getting groceries before hand because you'd want to cook and share meals at this house. I'm itching to go back as soon as I can!

The Cottages was a delightful stay for a long weekend. Everything was exactly as described in the Airbnb listing. From the beginning of my inquiry, information about our Cottage was accurately described and the booking of the reservation could not have been easier. Throughout the 7 week period between booking and occupancy, Airbnb made numerous contacts with me by text and email, including a personal phone call several days before our arrival confirmaing all was well and offering to answer any questions or clarify anything that may have come up. The room was ready when we arrived and was spotless. It was cozy with an outstanding view of Little River cove. Amenities were appropriate and plentiful. Entry to and exist from the room was all done by keypad, which we found very, very helpful - no misplaced keys, etc. Parking was very close to our unit and reserved specifically for us, so no worrying about scrambline for available spaces. We can't wait to return.

We enjoyed our time here. It is very rural, quiet and peaceful. Laytonville is a small town so the grocery store is very basic. It is only about 10 minutes away and open until 11. We were traveling with small children and arrived later in the day. The kids were hot and hungry and we had not had a chance to get food. The woman handling check in had a plate of fruit and was incredibly gracious to share to help keep them going until we could run in and grab groceries. She also called ahead to confirm how late they would be open. (4th of July) The walk to the private lake is not difficult and there are multiple kayaks you can use. In addition, it was during an incredible heatwave and there were regular check-ins to make sure all was well and everyone had water. There is no air conditioning but there are many fans that helped it cool off at night. Any issues or concerns were dealt with timely and appropriately. The service was truly above and beyond.

I go hiking in this region several times a year and thus have stayed in various places; this place is one of the best. It's clean, in a quiet location (bring your own supplies / food), directions to the place are accurate (write them down), getting inside is a no brainer, everything works in the house; excellent.

What a great place! Thanks for the extra support w the tv. The beach was epic.

Hi my name is David I have stayed at Barbara‘s absolutely gorgeous cute/cozy home on the lake in Lakeport I highly recommend this place to anyone not only the place is nice and clean and comfortable but the location it’s at on the lake is absolutely perfect so yes I give her 100 stars

We love Barking Rocks Cottage! If you are looking for a private, peaceful, comfortable cozy little cottage hidden on the California cozy, this is the place. I just loved cooking in the well-stocked kitchen with ocean views and watching my kids fly kites in the front yard. Host Kelly always responds quickly and is so helpful and friendly. We’ll be back!

Spent the night at this cottage. Our plan was to spend the day at the river, but the weather was not on our side. Hosts gave us lots of great alternatives for activities in the area! Cottage itself was super clean and comfortable. We wanted to watch tv at night but the remote needed batteries. In a matter of 10 minutes, both hosts came to deliver some and make sure we were doing alright. Definitely appreciated and will be back when the weather is warmer!

Quiet and private - a nice place to get away. Easy access to Fort Bragg.

The perfect place to stay for a week and relax with family. Gorgeous garden and surrounding area and an easy drive into Mendocino, which is a wonderful town!

The stay was quiet and serene. We enjoyed the surroundings as well as the unit. Very comfortable bed as a bonus! Close to town and the beaches yet far enough off the beaten path to be relaxing. Would certainly return there and recommend that others stay as well.

Our stay was very warm and cozy, the place was very clean and relaxing. We will definetely rent again. Our host was very easy to get in contact with, fast responses. Easy check in and an over all comfortable stay.
