Cottage holiday 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!

This is a stunning location. Between the views, the sight of birds, the sunsets. So lovely. We really appreciated the fenced yard for the dogs. The house was well stocked. Having a beach right at our feet was great! But most of all we were so enchanted by the quiet peacefulness.

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!

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!

We hand a great time at the cottage. Very cute, great views, and the dog accommodations were so sweet (they provide a dog bed, doggie bag leash clip on, bowls, dog towel and a frisbee).

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.

Well appointed comfortable cabin that we felt right at home in. The yard was perfect for the dogs and the hot tub was clean and most relaxing. Walkable to downtown Gualala and a great place to venture from.

What a gem of a place! Dominic is a very thoughtful host and has created an oasis close to downtown Boonville. There are so many thoughtful touches to make your stay seem very special. It felt more like a boutique hotel than an Airbnb. Our dog loved exploring the beautiful garden and we loved how peaceful the setting was. We enjoyed a bottle of wine on the porch and watched the sun set over the hills. Can’t wait to visit again.

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.

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.

We loved our stay at Ashley's! She was very communicative and answered our questions right away. The location is amazing as it is right on the river and across the street from such an incredible beach! We would love to stay here again if we are in the area :)

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!

We had an excellent day. It was comfortable and all the facilities worked perfectly well. A window in one of the bedrooms would not open unfortunately. Otherwise everything was excellent.

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

Secluded and private. The most incredible view of the Pacific Ocean from the shoreline to the horizon. House is old but the layout is smart, and the interior was light and airy - no musty smells at all. Not much in amenities or local attractions, but that was expected. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a getaway from everyone and everything. Also, found a great breakfast/lunch restaurant called Elk House, which is only two miles away.

The garden area was absolutely gorgeous. The sitting deck was perfect for reading. Being so close to town was very convenient.

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.

My favorite place to stay up here! Super cute and clean! Comfy beds! Just perfect!

This is a beautiful gem of an AirBnb -- Lovely hosts, the home is gorgeous and welcoming, the location can't be beat, and it's in a peaceful neighborhood. Recommended utterly without reservations.
