The house was very roomy. We loved having so many different areas to spread out in. Both kitchens were well stocked. Loved having 2 laundry rooms as well. We really enjoyed the game room and basketball hoop. Very quiet location. I did not give 5 stars because the floors were quite dirty (made everyone’s bare feet black) and the inside of the kitchen cabinets looked like they could use a good scrubbing. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

We loved everything about the place. So much fun for our group and a great meeting place for our family that camped close by.

Property was perfect for our weekend! Loved the great room and the fireplace! The family of deer were amazing entertainment!

We enjoyed our stay, celebrating a 50th birthday. The house was very clean and large. Plenty of space to be together and separate. The main living space is upstairs and well appointed. Lots of dishes and cutlery and a HUGE round table to dine at. I felt like it was a tree house. The property is very private and expansive. We loved the pool table and shuffleboard and very surprised to find a basketball hoop and balls! The beds were mostly comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked with soap, shampoo and conditioners. My only negative is that the downstairs area was COLD. If you are renting during the winter, bring a jacket for any nighttime fun downstairs. It was an 5 minute drive to the closest beach and about 8 minutes to downtown. Overall it’s a perfect choice for a large group.

Loved the two kitchens and the adequate cooking ware, dining ware and accessories. We shared three dinners there with a group larger than were staying and I think the layout was very accomodating.

This home was so fun and quirky. We had an amazing time and hope to stay here again. It had so much space and the game room made it so much fun. Only down fall was the table was no conducive to playing board games. Lots of pans and amenities in the kitchen made it easy to cook all meals in for the entire weekend.

I took 10 family members and we truly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views, plenty of fun games and activities in the house and wonderful walks and hikes by the ocean. Can’t be beat!

Great location, secluded on beautiful property but close to town. Plenty of space for everyone to have their own room. Little hard finding the property at first.
4.7
This home was just perfect for our family. What is lovely, is that there are no TVs upstairs but 2 downstairs where all the other fun is. This allows you to have peace and quiet up and fun and loud downstairs. However, be prepared that the game room has no heater. It would be fabulous if they put some sort of heat in there. The shower head in mater bath definitely needs to be replaced. There were several deer and so many birds to watch out the glass windows. The sauna is lovely as well!!! Now for the problem that we had. We had a bad storm come thru and we ended up with no power or water. There was a generator that kicked in but we think it ran all night and in the am there was nothing working. This also meant no internet connection and as there is not cell service there, we were unable to contact property management. There is a landline available, however it is a vintage rotary phone, so when attempting to call and needing to press and option number, we were quickly thrown back to the ole days. We drove to the local Vacasa office on our way out of town and there was no one there as well. We called Vacasa when we were able but we were answered by a gentleman from another country and still was unable to speak to someone local and explain the situation. I am a rental property owner and as such when we rent a property, we leave it in tip top shape. with no running water or power, we were unable to do this. That bugged me more than anything. There were a couple food dishes with leftovers that we couldn't clean out. We couldn't start the dishwasher and worst of all the toilets would not flush. So, my hope is that the owners or Vacasa will see this review and have an explanation, as I am sure when they get there to clean the power will be restored. One more note, the upstairs couches are super comfy but the feathers that are constantly poking out are not and they make such a mess. Now, for the bottom line, we loved every minute in this house. Even the poky feathers!!!! The power situation happens, I just don't like not being able to discuss it with someone. The shuffleboard table was a blast, but we did have to go buy salt for it, as the container there was empty. Pool table was a blast as well!!!!!! Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and serving utensils pot and pans etc.....There was not any tin foil, plastic wrap type stuff, but we had brought our own as we planned to do allot of cooking. We hope to be there as a family again next year!!!!!

The house was not BAD, but I expected more based on the rave reviews.
As you enter the house, there is a sign asking guests to remove their shoes, so we did. Our feet were filthy within minutes. I received a text soon after arrival, checking on the cleanliness, so I mentioned the issue. In their defense, they did ask if we’d like to have them come clean the floors. Unfortunately, because of the awful WiFi, I didn’t get the message until much later when we went into town. And, really, the floors should already have been clean upon our arrival.
Speaking of WiFi, while they do indicate it’s spotty, I’d say it’s essentially non-existent and would recommend not even advertise having it.
The carpet on the stairs in incredibly worn and uncomfortable on bare feet. As were the rugs going down the halls upstairs. The one leading to the master bedroom didn’t lay flat and was a tripping hazard.
To get to the master bedroom, you have to enter through another bedroom with a queen sized bed, so really no privacy for that queen room.
The upstairs couch is filled with feathers which may poke you when you sit down. Also, they fly out and by the end of the week there were feathers all over.
The game room is a nice touch, however it’s not heated and there was only an empty can of shuffleboard powder left for the shuffleboard table. The pucks are quite worn, so the shuffleboard was not really usable.
The house is advertised as 4 bathrooms but there were only 3. One in the master upstairs, 1 in the hall upstairs and 1 downstairs, kind of between 2 rooms. There were some doors locked downstairs that may have been the other bathroom? A little strange.
Another review mentioned the kitchens being a little lacking and I agree. Other places are much more well equipped.
There are lots of doors and light switches throughout this house. It would have been nice to have the light switches marked in some way to know which lights and rooms they were for as it was not always clear.
Nothing too terrible, but none of the other reviews touch on any of these things that I feel would have been helpful to know prior to choosing a house for our vacation.

This home is an oddly but functionally designed, is beautifully furnished, and includes a pool table and counter-height shuffle board game. Large well-kept property. Both full kitchens well-equipped. The furniture is amazing. We enjoyed housing 7 adults, had plenty of private and common space. Would recommend this place to extended family gatherings or a group of couples vacationing together. Lovely deck/outdoor space. Great grill.
4.7
Great location and a lot of space for large groups to stay comfortably. Check in and check out was easy but heed the recommendations not to rely on navigation to get you to the location. All and all, everyone had a blast and enjoyed the pool table and shuffleboard & walking to the pond full of Lilly pods and last but not least sightings of a deer with her fawn.

The house itself is very spacious and the grounds are beautiful. The pool table was fun for everyone. The house is nice and there were plenty of beds and bathrooms. The place was not cleaned well at all which was very disappointing. The property management did respond back to me quickly though and offered to have it cleaned again, as well as, refund the cleaning deposit. There are also many things that were damaged and needed repair, but nothing major. All in all, it was a nice retreat away for me and my family.

Fort Bragg is a gem of a town if you are willing to make the trip, and this place is well suited to hold a large group. We found it clean with plenty of amenities. Fairly spacious and private property with a short drive or bike ride to town. We'll be back.

10 members of my family traveled 18 hours to meet up with 40 of our relatives living in Northern California. We were hoping to find a place to accommodate 15 of our family members. When we arrived at this location we were amazed at how spacious the place was. We were disappointed that 7 of our family members had to find other accomodations due to the maximum limitation of 8 people for this location. This place could have easily hosted all of us. Due to lack of available lodging in the area, 4 of our members had to communite from Willits, a 2-hour round trip drive each day. Time which could have been spent on visiting with relatives they hadn't seen during the last several years. As I was tasked with preparing dinners for two nights for the 50 family members meeting at my cousin's property, it was nice having the 2 large kitchens and refrigerators this place offered. My elderly mother appreciated the upper deck and living room space that facilitated visiting with family and relatives in a quiet environment. Other than the limitation on the number of people who could stay at this place, we enjoyed the premises very much and would stay again.

This home includes an assortment of bedrooms and shared spaces; more than a group of 8 is likely to ever need. It is clean and well-appointed. The property is quite large and private. It makes a great home base for exploring Fort Bragg and Mendocino. The kids enjoyed the game garage and the TV rooms on the first floor while the adults enjoyed eating and conversing in the great room upstairs. I was able to find a quiet space to get some work done. And others enjoyed reading out on a deck. There is something for everyone in this house.

Lots going on here inside and out. The guest who complained about the tv, internet, and no shoes situation should have stayed home. Come here to unplug and enjoy all that the Mendocino Coast has to offer. Food? Check. Beach fun? Check. Game time? Check. Quiet time with a good book? Check. Kayak on the rivers? Check. Yoga at the Gardens? Check. Silly shopping? Check. Groove with nature right outside your window? Check and mate.

We had a wonderful stay with the family at this spacious property. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the living spaces and kitchen were in good condition and had all the features one would expect. The property is quiet and private with beautiful views of woodlands. The layout is quirky with the whole house built in a large metal warehouse type structure. It has the feel of a home put together by a do-it-yourselfer, with dozens of doors leading to hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, etc. The downstairs kitchen has some funkiness with countertops higher than standard. The downstairs bedrooms have some windows that open to an unfinished workshop area. The rec room areas downstairs are in garage spaces that are unheated. And, as many have noted, the wifi is very weak - you should expect to only read your email - it's not robust enough to do much else. And cell reception is poor in this location as well. But, we really found ourselves loving this place. It's very comfortable, quiet and the grounds are beautiful. The location is perfect as it's near the Mendocino Botanical Gardens and situated between Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
