We had a wonderful time in this lovely, comfortable cottage. The host was thoughtful and even provided a birthday cupcake upon arrival for one of our family members whose birthday occurred during our stay! The bed and futon were comfortable, the kitchen nicely equipped with everything we needed to make meals, and the location was secluded yet very close to Fort Bragg and the many beaches and parks in the area. Highly recommend!

The cottage is so very clean. Every room is comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare a meal and all the dishes and utensils to serve on. The cottage is stocked with coffee, teas, and creamers. Christine is amazing, you need anything she is quick to respond. The cottage is located in the redwoods and the property is beautiful. My husband and I will always book our stay here.

Christine and Cindi are incredible hosts! My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 10-year anniversary at their charming cottage. We were warmly welcomed with a delicious cupcake and a heartfelt, personalized card expressing their best wishes for our special day. The cottage was spacious and well-maintained, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room with all the essentials. The property was beautifully landscaped, with a serene meadow and a canopy of trees providing a peaceful ambiance. A handy binder provided us with a list of local restaurants and activities, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend renting their cottage.

Pleasant stay in the cottage

Christine and Cindi have thought of everything. The cottage is decorated very tastefully and they have notes posted giving you information for everything. They have created a binder with maps, menus and other information about the Fort Bragg, Mendocino area. It is the second time I have rented the cottage. It will not be the last.

A great homebase

Our family stayed at this well-stocked home while we explored Mendocino and Ft Bragg, specifically The Skunk Train. The host has thought of everything you could possibly need during a stay. It turned out the Queen bed was just too small for us (our fault) so sleep was rough, but my toddler loved sleeping on the futon!

Fabulous, superb, wonderful n

This cottage is so wonderful with lots of space, beautiful surrounding forest, everything in the kitchen you could possible want, very close to Fort Bragg, short distance to Mendocino, and I really liked the 3 deer that came to see me off when I was getting ready to leave. Christine, the host, was so great. This is the best VRBO I have stayed in.

The cottage is very pleasant, clean and well-organized. Christine has thought of everything including a binder to help you plan your stay. It is decorated very tastefully, not garage sale furniture. We will return to this cottage.

Cozy stay

We loved staying at the Cottage Hide-away and hope to return. Place was very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked (including spices, a few condiments, and some snacks and drinks), and the location was just minutes away from everything we wanted to do in Fort Bragg. Christine responded quickly when we had a question. Beautiful, peaceful setting in the Redwoods.

Great stay!

We stayed here for three nights. What a great place. Christine is a great host, very available if you need her. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need and there are even snacks left for the guests to have! The bed is great, very comfortable and there are plenty of books on hand to read if you forget yours. The house is very, very clean. We had a great stay walking the beaches of Ft Bragg and enjoying our time away from home. This rental is a home away from home! We would stay here again no problem!! It is very quiet too! Thanks Christine for a great stay!!!

Great cottage

The cottage was the absolute perfect base for our first father-son adventure with our two little guys. The spacious, tree-lined yard was a hit, and the trampoline and sky swing kept them entertained for hours. Inside, the cottage was cozy and inviting, with everything sparkling clean. The amenities were well-thought-out, including a convenient Keurig coffee maker, making our stay incredibly comfortable. We also enjoyed some fun challenges with the cool puzzles provided. The cottage felt very private and quiet, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The convenient location was a bonus, making it easy to explore the area. This is easily one of the best rentals we've ever experienced and wholeheartedly deserves a 10 out of 10 rating.

Beyond Expectations

Very private and quiet. Lots of natural light from skylights and big windows looking out at the surrounding meadow and redwood trees. Appliances, floors, windows, etc. were spotless. Great parking in front and easy access to town when needed. This is a well-maintained and run property that deserves 10 stars.

Perfect ocean get away

This was the first time we rented a VRBO and my family and I could not be happier we did. The location is wonderful and so close to town and the house is cute, clean and comfortable. Christine was extremely accommodating and answered any and all questions we had. We had a great time with our 1 year old and he loved being able to run around the yard. We look forward to coming back!

Great property and location

Me and my family loved our stay here and if I had it to do over, I would have like to have extended our time here. The property is situated in a quiet setting with many attractions within a short drive, as well as conveniences like restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The home was clean, very well stocked, and extremely comfortable for our family of 4. The host provided many thoughtful touches and communication was excellent. We enjoyed having the puzzles and games to play together in the evening and some outside space for our youngest to run around. The W/D was also so handy. It had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend staying here.

Peaceful & Clean

The cottage was very clean, and the setting in the Redwoods was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. Many extras were provided such as coffee, butter and snacks. We saw deer every morning in the yard. Outside, you can hear some highway traffic, but inside it is quiet. The hosts were great with good food and activity recommendations.

Anniversary get away

We had a wonderful time at this rental. Christine’s delightful touches were evident everywhere and the house met all our needs. My husband slept better here than he does at home; of course we were on vacation. The location was perfect, close to town but far enough away so that it was really quiet. This was my husband’s first experience with a rental home and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Hopefully we can do a return trip sometime.

Great Place for a Family Getaway

The place is well appointed with everything we needed. The host was super responsive and friendly. Nice location tucked into the trees but a quick jaunt to Fort Bragg for anything you need. Not sure if it was a common thing but a cute family of 5 deer hung out in the large yard for a few hours each day we were there.
