Cottage vacation rentals in Fort Bragg

Fabulous place cozy comfortable and beautiful surroundings. There is everything you need there and then some. Recommend this place highly.

David's home in the Guerneville redwoods was a magical place for a solo retreat. The beauty and attention to detail was wonderful - from the art to the amenities to the guidebook! David was very responsive and kind in his communications. Would stay again.

Awesome, quirky, and cute. Hot tub is nice, as is the whole seating area out there. If you are a fan of creative spaces, different styles of stays, and don’t need or do fancy, this place is ideal. It is creaky and if you are over six feet tall you’ll have to duck at one spot, but that stuff adds to the cute factor not subtract. Good spot

We were thrilled to find Dan's Cove Cottage on AirBnB. My husband grew up camping at the Wages Creek campground with his grandparents every summer in the 1960s-70s. We brought our own children to camp there when they were little. Now that we're older, it was wonderful to experience the matchless beauty of this beach with every comfort thoughtfully provided for, and every glorious view framed by a window. There is even a telescope! The wood stove was very easy to use, with everything provided, including excellent instructions, but the heating system is state of the art and the fire is more for the coziness and glow than warmth (but remember to turn the heating system down if there's no fog). I particularly liked the variety of pillows available,Dan went out of his way to make sure we knew everything we needed to know beforehand, such as directions, where to shop for groceries, exactly how to access the keys, etc. When cell coverage is spotty, this is a great help to print out and bring.

We loved the property and its proximity to the water and two large beaches. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has the furnishings and supplies just like it would if someone actually lived there rather than the typical Airbnb “shell” that only has the bare necessities (or less). We did have an unfortunate complication that occurred when we arrived. Things happen, but what matters more than anything is how a host handles an unexpected event. Jay was kind, understanding, and empathetic and did everything needed to make things right. We will absolutely be back.

This is a perfect location for a tranquil getaway on the Russian River. Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to the store and to the welcoming, relaxing community coffeeshop- so good! The house was perfect: very clean and well cared for, kitchen well stocked for cooking, plenty of linens, so comfortable- we loved it! The location could not be better and the kindness of having river gear to use, plus the convenience of the outdoor shower- superb.

This was our second time staying at Red Door Retreat and we had another great visit. As before everything was exactly as pictured and described. Checkin was very smooth and communication with Brett was great. We particularly enjoyed the several nice outdoor spaces and the hot tub. Quiet setting but short drive to local attractions and Guerneville town center. Highly recommended!

This Airbnb was a great home base - extremely well furnished, clean, and a beautiful setup with lovely outdoor space. We were thrilled with our choice and had so much fun watching our kids explore the backyard while we lounged and took in the trees.

I don't think I have enough characters available to describe this experience! We use Airbnb often and this was our best one! First, the host Jeffrey was fantastic. So helpful and communicative. But this home is just a magical place. If you're looking for a very private experience, but still close to the city... this fits the bill. I don't think the photos posted do it justice compared to the in-person experience. The house-keeping crew is perfection... you wouldn't know someone ever visited before you. Everything was immaculately clean. The kitchen has every amenity you would ever need. Blankets, linens, and towels were abundant. Our group had the most wonderful time... thank you Jeffrey and Trey for sharing your home with travelers. We enjoyed the added bonus of wildlife encounters each day as well! I am sharing the link to this property with everyone I know!

Such a peaceful, secluded home — within 20 minutes of great restaurants, beaches, and hikes! We spent our afternoons on the deck, watching the waves. Felt like we were on the edge of the world. The beach was absolutely pristine and perfect for exploration. Well stocked kitchen, surprisingly comfy bed, awesome pool table upstairs! Can’t wait to be back.

Jaquelyn was a wonderful host and has created such a lovely space. The cottage was cozy and clean - exactly what I was looking for during a weekend away from the city. I look forward to visiting again!

We stayed here for thanksgiving break and it was a perfect getaway for us. Very comfortable place with all the amenities and fully equipped kitchen (We cooked entire time we were there). The surroundings is so beautiful and peaceful. Hike around the lake was really beautiful. Mackenzie was very responsive and even stopped by to help us light the fire. And invited us to campfire one of the evenings. We had a relaxing time surrounded by our nature. Didnt even get out of the property like we had initially planned to.. Highly recommend and would love to go back again.!

We enjoyed this stay Mother’s Day weekend, not only was it quiet and peaceful with the hot tub, but it was also the perfect location. Seconds away from the beach, cute little downtown shops and food. Listening to the waves and sea lions at night in the hot tub was just an added bonus! Definitely will stay here again.

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 :)

The cottage is in a lush green dense forest surrounding. Very quiet and peaceful. Inside of the house was clean, very well equipped with kitchen utensils, and had good quality bedding. Pay attention to the instructions sent by the host to find the house as the final dirt road to the house isn’t available on google maps. The house is dog friendly. They even had a dog bowl to use. There’s also a fully fenced backyard to leave your pet off leash. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay. 15 minutes away from Mendocino. With proactive and friendly host. Will definitely comeback here.

I had the very BEST stay at Mark's place! Everything about the stay was magical - the cottage was quaint and lovely, surrounded by redwoods. Mark's hospitality was of the very best I have seen...he was so kind, helpful and caring and lovely to talk with during the stay. He cares so much and wants to make sure his guests have the best experience. And wow the baked goods are incredible! This was the best mini retreat I could have imagined..I will definitely be back!

Barking Rocks Cottage is a lovely home, in peaceful surroundings with a wonderful ocean view. Kelly is an amazing hostess, proactively communicating and sharing very helpful local information with us ahead of the trip. Her thoughtfulness is evident in every corner of the very well-equipped cottage, including the generous welcome treats. Every detail is geared towards making your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning soon! Thanks for everything- Kelly!

Dear Jessica and Jon, Thank you so much for creating such a special space at The Alchemy Tree House. We had a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease—surrounded by the redwoods, with everything so thoughtfully designed and cared for. You’ve created a place that feels both grounding and inviting, and we appreciated the attention to detail. The location was perfect for exploring—close to the Russian River, Armstrong Redwoods, and not far from the coast. But honestly, just being able to relax in the quiet, surrounded by trees, was a gift in itself. We also really appreciated how warm and responsive you were throughout our stay. It’s clear how much love you’ve poured into the place. We’d absolutely love to come back someday. Warmly, Marcus

Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

Legitimately the best Airbnb experience I’ve had to date. Anne’s place and hospitality made our visit to Mendocino/ Fort Bragg an exceptional one. The place itself is very well-kept, well-lit and clean with tasteful furniture and decor. Her property is off in a quieter woodsy area of Fort Bragg that felt private. We especially loved her garden and common areas which were a delight to stroll in the mornings or late afternoon. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and late night snacks — would be more than accommodating to cook a full meal. Also notable was how comfy the bed and bedding were. Anne was a delightful host we had a great time chatting with her. To top it all off, did I mention she shared with us some farm fresh eggs from her chickens that we absolutely devoured for breakfast? We will definitely be sending friends or coming back ourselves. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

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.

Such a stunning little cottage and property! Perfect for a peaceful getaway. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming, and thorough with their responses and detailed information. Highly recommend staying here as I felt very at peace. One of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in!

Our stay was very warm and cozy, the place was very clean and relaxing. We will definetely rent again. Our host was very easy to get in contact with, fast responses. Easy check in and an over all comfortable stay.

Mike’s place was a great location for a weekend in wine country. His property is located on a vineyard. It was a nice and relaxing location. Beautiful surroundings. Very clean. High end appliances in the kitchen for cooking if you want to stay in. Mike was a great host, provided recommendations, and brought us coffee and milk before we arrived as well
