Cottage holiday rentals in North Coast

We met the infamous Piper! She’s just as sweet as they say…and Royce ain’t bad, himself. The cottage was cozy, warm, inviting, and stocked with everything we could need. It was exactly as pictured, and the hot tub under the stars was incredible. We were lucky enough to catch the annual benefit concert right in the yard (hosts discussed this with us beforehand). Special note: the rooster crows throughout the middle of the night (many times between 12am-5am). He roams during the day with his beautiful ladies and may crow near the cottage in the afternoon. If you’re not used to this, bring some ear plugs or headphones. The location of this property is PERFECT - a quick drive to Fort Bragg (10 min), but feels remote. Follow the directions that they’ll send you the day before arrival and NOT GPS! Make sure you have cell service the day before, because our reception was 1 bar (Verizon). WiFi at cottage worked perfectly. This place was SO homey and the hosts were so welcoming!

We’re very familiar with the surrounding area and this home is classic to the Russian River vibe. It’s easy to access Jenner Highland preserve, Armstrong woods and river activities. We found the listing to be accurate and very clean. We did not access the small secondary building but appreciated the hot tub. We also were glad we left our dog at home as there is no grass on the property and several stairs to navigate. It would certainly work for some dogs, but not ours was quite large. We did appreciate David’s immediate response to our request to edit our reservation when we decided not to bring our dog; excellent communication!

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.

Karen's place was amazing! It looks beautiful in the photos and even better in real life. It's so peaceful—we saw deer and foxes from the balcony. The wonderful view from the hot tub is also so nice. It's one of the best Airbnbs we've stayed in. Location, privacy, size, etc, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Our stay was lovely! The beds and linens were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The entire home was well stocked and it felt like a second personal home in terms of the quality of items - sharp knives, well stocked pantry for cooking basics, foil, etc. We brought two dogs and it was a paradise for them. The outdoor area is truly magical. The fire pit is great, the downstairs dog shower is handy, and the landscaping is sublime.

In a word - delightful! We very much enjoyed the back deck and patio with morning and afternoon sun, a relaxing yard with views of the river, osprey, swallows and even deer. The kitchen was very well equipped with high quality appliances/utensils/cookware/dishware etc for easy mealmaking. Playing records from Adam's collection was memorable & reminiscent. The beds were very comfortable - especially nice with french doors looking out to the back yard and riverscape. The location is easy distance from Monte Rio, Jenner and Guerneville, paddleboarding, beaching, hiking nearby plus nice to walk our dog Lexie in the extended neighborhood. Adam was a great host. We highly recommend Adam's delightful cottage retreat, and look forward to future stays!

The beautiful pictures and glowing reviews for this listing were a primary reason why we chose to book, and the reality absolutely met our expectations. My boyfriend and I just spent almost a week here to rejuvenate and unplug, and it was the perfect place to do so. We felt an immediate shift in energy upon arriving at this very serene and magical property. It was just as lovely as previous commenters have stated. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Marykate, but her son conducted our check-in and was so friendly and kind and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had total privacy but still felt our needs were being taken care of. Everything was also so thoughtfully considered and supplied. Absolutely LOVED the beautiful and adorable free-range chickens. It was so peaceful and therapeutic to see them roaming around. Such a special place. It was a sad day when we had to leave, and I hope we will be back soon.

Quaint little cottage and private deck away from and yet close to the town. Excellent and super-responsive hosts, very sweet and kind. Highly recommend for a serene experience in nature on your next Petaluma trip. :)

nice 2 bedroom 2 bath functional space. tucked inside a quiet wooded lot. perfect for my family's 1 night stay during our road trip through the state parks. simple space, very clean, was very comfortable. 10 minutes to town. followed Google GPS to the listed address and it's the smaller single blue house on the lot.

Great place for us to bed down for the night on a family road trip. The shower is great with good water pressure and temperature and the bed was comfortable. It’s small but has a very open space and as a family of 3, we could have easily spent multiple days here with how they have it set up. It’s in a very residential area with a lot of homes around, but very quiet and we felt very safe. My 7 year old says 8 out of 5 stars!

Sally is a great host. Quick to respond to any questions. Nice cottage with plenty of room. Walking distance to farmers market and some restaurants. Short drive to hiking trails in Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Creek behind cottage. Quiet area. Would recommend and will be back!

Fantastic place to stay in the Heart of the Redwoods. So many great trails nearby, and the ocean is only a few miles away as well. Well-stocked kitchen came in very useful. Would definitely recommend staying here 👍 . Felt like we got great value for the price we paid.

Linda is a great host. Cares about her guests. She had the room set to be cool upon arrival. The room is spacious and pleasantly comfortable. The Friday farmer's market is an easy walk, just down the street. Quiet neighborhood.

Thank you, Peter. We enjoyed our stay. Great location between Napa and Calistoga. Kitchen well stocked for our needs. Home was comfortable for our family. Private, secure and peaceful. Communication was easy and responsive! Hope to come back another time…….

Such a wonderful hidden gem! My husband and I went here on a quick honeymoon, so we only stayed one night, but it was incredibly comfortable and homey. Mark is a baker and provided us with the most delicious baked goods I've ever eaten and home roasted coffee during our stay. The creek is next to the property and relatively easy to find, beautiful! Since there is little to no service in the area, I had a bit of a hard time connecting with Mark on the day of check in, but his previous instructions were clear enough for us to find the cottage. We would certainly stay again and hopefully be able to attend the Friday Pizza Community nights they hold. Thanks for the great stay, Mark!

We loved staying at this beautiful cabin for our honeymoon! The cabin had a cozy feel and the surrounding nature was beautiful. Mendocino was a fun town to explore, and felt nice to have a place to stay only 10 minutes away!

Quick access to the beach, great views of the river and peek views of the ocean. Easy off hwy 1, not too far from the bay. Nice kitchen arrangement. Small bedrooms, but best arrangement for the size. Would recommend and may be back!

Our stay at Linda’s cottage was wonderful! It’s a beautiful setting and everything was above our expectations! We enjoyed the pool, played bocce ball, and the garden areas are gorgeous! It’s a very peaceful and relaxing location. A great place to getaway and rejuvenate! Linda was a very kind and gracious host too! We definitely plan to return to Linda’s cottage in the near future!

I booked last minute as I was driving the Pacific Coast highway. The price was so reasonable I was expecting something less than the pictures. driving to her home the road turns into a narrow gravel road. That made me more concerned. we got there. Her husband Neil greeted us. it was perfect. very simple but cozy, clean and quiet. only about 2 miles to Fort Bragg so it is easy to get dinner or go to the lovely beach.. Honestly she could charge $160-180 and I would think it's reasonable.

This is our fourth year staying at Crispin Cottage. That’s how much we love it. It’s such a sweet little space: very comfortable bed , the kitchen is stocked with condiments and coffee and tea – lots of good restaurants around to choose from. Linda and Melanie who live there, are very friendly and share good information about Philo and Boonville. It’s a popular place and we have to book months in advance- so worth the wait! Indian creek runs towards the bottom of their property and it’s easy to walk to. You can also go to Hendy Woods and hike and swim in the river there. The wineries are lovely and our favorites are Greenwood Ridge, Roderer for bubbles and Toulouse for the amazing views.

If you are hiking in the area, Sally’s place is the spot to stay! Located in between two major hiking areas, Sally’s place is a welcome respite. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit as well as the ability to make our own meals and relax at “home” after a day of exploring. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Sally and other local families are in the process of renovating several modular homes and Hunter Creek Cottage was an excellent example of their vision! Sally too is super friendly and lives very near by - we really enjoyed meeting her as well.

Such a cute cottage - well appointed with more than expected in terms of the kitchen. Love the swings and outdoor picnic table. So very close to the Lavender Farm we wanted to visit - and we loved the Wild Poppy Cafe, also quite close. It was fun exploring Sebastopol and lovely to have Mary's cottage as a home base.

This is the second trip to Susan's, and it was even better than the first. Use the house as a j jump off point for local mountain biking and oyster consumption, so it is perfectly situated...peaceful, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting. Indeed, the house itself feels like your own, and Susan is wonderful. Help when or if you need it, leaves you alone if you do not. Looking forward to trip #3!

This is our third or fourth time staying at Kania’s lovely cottage. We feel very at home here and the town of Dunsmuir is beautiful and the people are very friendly.
