Loved this simple little cabin, just perfect for us and our dogs. Close to Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Quiet and peaceful. We saw Deer wander through the property.
Weâre so glad we found this well maintained comfy little cabin that is pet friendly. Weâre surrounded by a quite serene setting of trees and grass for the pups. Itâs 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 couldnât get any air circulation.
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!
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.
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!
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 Iâm not sure how we would have started the fire without fire starter or kindling.
We had to leave early due to my husbands business.
Itâs a cute, basic little cabin, probably ideal for those who only want a base but maybe a bit too basic for us.
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.
Other than the bedrooms and bath room doors would not close completely (get stuck on door jam) it was a nice little house. Nothing fancy inside but everything you need.
You do have to watch for the SMALL hard to see step from the kitchen to the living room. The location is great if you like quiet out of the way like I do, but it means driving a few miles into town or beach. Overall a nice little house.
Property looked just like in the photos, easy check in, felt private but close to many conveniences. Quick response to questions regarding the fireplace
My family had a very nice, comfortable stay at the black cabin. The open floor layout worked out well for my sister to keep an eye on her 9 month old at all times as a crawled around. Only issue we had was getting a fire started in the wood stove because we don't have a ton of experience with them. I reached out to Benjamin and he contacted me right away to give me some tips. We got a cozy fire going right away. The property also had an outside shower that was a fun surprise.
The cabin was pretty clean for the most part. It was small though. When I booked, I didnât realize there werenât any closets. The non slip mat in the bath tub was kinda dirty but it is from being used constantly. I would recommend getting rid of it. The shower head was an issue because it is short and not functional for anyone over 5â5 which is my height. The other guests with me were taller than me in height so that was disappointing. My brother is 6â4 so he had to bend over to shower. I had seen a review posted right before the date of our stay that someone else said the shower was not functional for anyone over 5â tall and emailed the property manager and he said he did not hear of that complaint before and would email the reviewer regarding that issue. We used a small space heater and that kept the cabin warm enough. I would suggest for the owner to have a space heater available for guests to use so guests donât have to bring their own. The windows were big and open with no blinds to enjoy the beautiful nature outside. The front and back door were see through for the major part and that was not okay. With all the windows being open and the door being glass, anyone outside can see into the cabin which can be a safety issue. The issue with the back door being see through is that the security camera was facing towards the door so the property manager can see into the cabin and watch what we are doing at all times. The camera needs to be moved so it is right outside the back door to view into the backyard area not into the cabin to view the guests. Felt like we did not have that much privacy because of the back yard camera which was not acceptable.
Very clean and fresh upon arrival. Flowers on the table and nice soaps and bath products in the bathroom. Open floor plan. Comfortable beds. The original (I think) wood buring stove warms up the whole cabin. You need to bring your own wood and kindling. Very responsive owners. A few quirky areas, but this is an older property that was been remodelled so that isnt a deal breaker. Only one area particularly in need of re-doing is the shower. This could be an issue for folks staying for longer stays. Other than that a quiet, clean and vey beautiful place. I enjoyed it a lot.
The setting is tranquil and very relaxing, in a quiet neighborhood where we had deer grazing in the yard daily. The cabin is quiet and comfortable however the bathroom needs some serious improvement. The shower is pretty much not functional if you are taller than 5 ft. Also the curtain rod in the bedroom fell off the wall the first night we were there. Also has issues getting the Roku to work. Still enjoyed our stay but things could have been better.
This property is as advertised. Comfortable for 2 to 4. Very clean and well equipped. A good price for a nice, smaller vacation stay. Iâm would rent again.
