Heater was broken or the pilot light was out. The door was open when we got there and it could not be closed and locked when we left. The pillows were hard. We had to provide our own water. The couches that look so lovely in the picture did not look like that and they were very close to the ground making it a challenge to get out. The use of throw rugs was a problem for me. There were no grab bars in the shower/bath combo. The toilet was the size for a child.
We loved the location within walking distance to beach. We enjoy sitting on deck watching the birds and kayakers floating by. The bed was very comfortable. The living room was comfortable also.
We had a lovely weekend. The place was clean, cozy, and very quiet (except for the nesting swallows ;)). Very convenient access to hiking and good restaurants. You can walk to the beach.
Stayed 2 nights, that was enough. Love looking right out at Salmon Creek,ducks, geese, herons and egrets all enjoy the slow moving water. But the house is tired and in need of work. In the bathroom the area between the tub and the synthetic wall panels is black with mold. The huge furniture has lost the padding and is not comfortable. The gas fireplace did not turn on, but the gas wall heater did a good job of keeping the place warm.
Amazing little cottage on the water. Peaceful home, birds and dear all over and walking distance to the beach. We loved that the house overlooked a river. Amazing to sit outside and watch all the birds and deer go on about their day. Felt very tranquil for us. Home was perfect for us, clean and cozy.
The best part of the stay was being on the creek and enjoying the wildlife. But the house was not was advertised. The best was too small, there is no oven, the cc couches were full of soft hair
We stayed there for 6 nights. The view from the house is amazing. The house has everything! The key was a little tricky and outside window could be cleaned but other than that we really enjoyed staying this house! We would love to come back again.
Adorable cabin right on the creek. It had all the necessities, enough kitchen stuff to cook a bit there, and plenty of blankets and space heaters to stay cozy on cold evenings. During the day, it's a close walk to a state beach (not dog friendly) or short drive to other beaches, hiking, and little towns like Valley Ford and Bodega Bay. Cabin was clean and tidy with easy check in/out via text. Overall a great stay!
This is our third or fourth visit and we love it here. Its beautiful and a great place to recoup and take it easy. Two teeny weeny things: 1) you might want to put an ant trap near the sink; 2) Don't know how I feel about the eco-pods. I really appreciate that they are earth friendly but they're also kind of weird.
Anyways, great place. We will definitely return.
Beautiful spot right on the creek that definitely lives up to its photographs in the listing. Really the only trouble we had was with the furnishings; other reviews mention how comfy the couch was, but it was really soft and broken down for us. It was so uncomfortable that we went into Santa Rosa to buy a chair for me. The dining chairs are super rickety also. And the mattress was uncomfortable for both of us. But honestly, in better weather, we would mostly be spending time on the deck or on day trips anyway. It was storming a lot of the time we were there in January and it was a really cozy spot to watch the rain. The location makes up for all that, so I would still definitely recommend it.
This little place does not look like much from the outside, but when you open the door you enter a sweet little one bedroom. The overhead sky lights and decor make it warm and welcoming. The internet is spotty, so if you plan on jumping on your computer or watching a lot of TV you may need a back up. Lovely place by the water. We got to watch kayakers, water fowl, fish, otters and more from the balcony as we sipped our coffee or enjoyed a glass of wine. The area is very peacefull.
This was nice. Right on Salmon creek. Sit on the deck watching all the waterfowl etc. Close to town of Bodega, walking trails and beaches close by. Perfect you 2 and your pet.
This was hidden gem, cozy sofas, full equipped kitchen, loved the on demand hot water and super warm bed. Next time we will stay for at least three nights. So close to shops and restaurants but far enough to be a quiet cozy getaway. We enjoyed the beach at the end of the road and hiked up at the Sonoma headlands and what a gorgeous coastline. We will come here again.
Yes, it's small but it opens out onto a lovely deck which is right on the creek and uninterrupted views of the most beautiful wetlands with the ocean in the distance....Magical and totally relaxing!
Thank you to our hosts!
Our stay was lovely. There was an excellent view of the natural habitat of the local flora and fauna. We watched birds eat and fly, then deer frolic in the mist. Best sleep, plenty of quiet.
Great location, comfortable, needs some maintenance. I was there to write and for that purpose it was perfect. The creek is lovely, the sunsets are amazing. Great access to the beach. Lovely porch and comfortable but funky interior. If you donât expect everything to work and youâre OK figuring things out yourself and making do you will be more than fine. I would go back in a heartbeat!
