About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Black Cabin, spacious, secluded and tranquil.

Welcome to the Black Cabin.
Your little private haven in the middle of the woods. The cabin was built in 1940 and has served as a family retreat until now. Newly remodeled, the cabin offers a modern trim with a cottage feel. Try our outdoor shower situated in the remnants of giant red wood. Explore the town and come back to a quiet and secluded refuge. Kick back and relax, no need to make the beds or finish the dishes, enjoy every minute of the house because it’s fully serviced after every stay.

The cabin does have a wood burning stove, but we ask guests not to use it and use the space heaters instead for heating purposes.

We provide a space heater but bringing your personal space heater is recommended during the chilly months.

We provide bedding for the 2 Queen beds, if more is needed. Please make a request as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate.

In addition to the steps at the front door, the kitchen has a sunken floor. Take extra care coming and going from the kitchen.

We have one security camera by the front door and the back patio, for the safety and security of the property.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The cabin was the perfect place to stay for our getaway. Very pet friendly and plenty of room inside to relax after a fun day out exploring Fort Bragg and Mendocino. The cabin was very clean and nestled away back on a quiet street. It is close to multiple points of interest and was so easy to find when we arrived. We hope to stay again in the near future.

The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was 30 degrees out when we stayed and the small heaters in each room kept us warm. The bigger heaters in the living area work great. The wifi is really spotty. You could watch tv but as soon as one of us got on our phone, the tv would stop working. You could only be on one device at a time. It was just a reminder that we needed to unplug and enjoy nature!

Not bad. Low ceilings and so so remodel, but decent place in a good quiet neighborhood. Not far from beaches, ft Bragg, or the village.

Comfy cabin

We’re so glad we found this well maintained comfy little cabin that is pet friendly. We’re surrounded by a quite serene setting of trees and grass for the pups. It’s so close to so many places to visit. We love this place and have already made plans to come back!

Loved location saw deer grazing. Quaint. Suggest lubricating the windows and sliding glass door they are hard to open and close so we couldn’t get any air circulation.

House was not cleaned in between guests

Me and my family arrived to the VRBO and all of the previous guests dirty laundry, dirty dishes, slept in beds, dirthy bathroom- had not been cleaned by a cleaning service. It was filthy. The owner had no backup towels or sheets. We had to find a new rental last minute. Nightmare!

Beautiful spot. Bring a heater

Everything was as described and it was a great place in a great location. As the listing warns, the place can get chilly. Definitely plan to bring space heaters and/or firewood.

Quiet stay in the woods!

Our family's time at the black cabin in the woods was delightful! There was plenty of room for all 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kiddos). The setting was just a couple miles from Fort Bragg, so it was perfect for our drive up the West Coast!

Quirky cabin

Super quirky little cabin. Had to contact the owner for check in information on the afternoon we arrived, they did respond quickly but would have been nice to have in advance. The yard was rather unkempt which was a bit disappointing, but with the code access was easy. Plenty parking at the front of the cabin, Inside it has been updated and is cute, it was super cold when we arrived but once we got the burner going it warmed up. There was an initial fire starter but we booked for another night so I’m not sure how we would have started the fire without fire starter or kindling. We had to leave early due to my husbands business. It’s a cute, basic little cabin, probably ideal for those who only want a base but maybe a bit too basic for us.

Quiet country near the ocean.

The property is located just out of the main Hwy 1 corridor and was easily located. The neighborhood is quiet and the property is thickly vegetated so it seems a though you're miles from anyone else. The rooms are small but relatively comfortable. If someone in your group is over 6'2" or 6'3" they should be aware of the low beam and ceiling in the kitchen. The kitchen has a good selection of utensils and pots/pans if you plan to do any cooking. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.
