Overall this is a comfortable home that is a wonderful location within easy walking distance to MacKerricher SP. It is comfortable, cozy with enough room for a couple, two dogs and a couple of children. It is too small for 4 adults. It is a dated property that needs some small updates. A little TLC would go a long way with this sweet spot. There is one shower that could use some caulking and perhaps a new shower head. There are lots of thumbtacks in the walls and several areas that pictures had been hung but the hangers were still in place. There are no wine glasses nor is there a kettle for boiling water other than drip coffee pots. For tea drinkers, that is a no no. One TV in the second bedroom worked but not the living room or master. That said, the appliances are up to date, there are plenty of dishes and glasses to use and lots of decorations. We did not use the gas grill because it had seen better days. We did not sit on the nice back porch because of what looked like old restaurant appliances in the way. The front porch is welcoming other than the plants that needed some care. We did not use the outdoor fire pit because of the branches over hanging it making it a dangerous fire issue. All of that said, I would definitely rent this space again because of its location and comforts like the beds and sofas plus it is pet friendly.

4 of us 75 +, good friends, hikers, pickleball players, disc golf players. Loved the nearby ocean park. Good food, fun farmer's market in Ft. Bragg. House was exactly what we needed. Great Location.

The home worked nicely for our quick trip to Fort Bragg. About a 10 minute walk to the beach but I liked the location and it was pet friendly. The owner was very accommodating and home was clean and comfortable. Would book again.

We struggled with the rating, because we both loved this place and were disappointed with the place. If possible, we would have given it a 4.5 stars rating. Things we loved: 1. Location. This home is just a few steps away from the state park, the beach, and miles of dog friendly trails. 2. House set up. The home is cute and feels roomy. It was clean. The front porch just calls your name to sit and relax. Backyard is unfenced, but has plenty of room to walk your pet. Quiet at night, and the one bed we used was very comfortable. 3. Just a short drive from Fort Bragg! Disappointments: 1. No coffee filters. The kitchen has 2 coffee makers, and ground coffee, but no filters! Not something you want to find out about at 7am. Fortunately the camp store was just around the corner, was open, and had filters for sale. 2. No hair dryer!! Yipes, you must have a hair dryer for your guests! This is a big issue for those of us who need one. 3. No wine glasses. Even if the owner does not drink wine, you must have a couple of wine glasses available. 2 liqueur glasses do not cut it. We would stay here again, for the location was perfect. If you are reading this review, just make sure you bring any supplies/appliances you must have, for there is no guarantee they will be here.

Enjoyed a quiet peaceful time, and enjoyed the very comfortable and well equipped house. Family members were camping next door at MacKerriker State Park. I enjoyed meals around the campfire with the family, but was able to return to this quiet retreat for a comfortable night's sleep and a warm shower.

We have been camping at MacKerricher Park for over 50 years but I recently has surgery so opted to stay at the cottage. It was like being in the park without all the set up and tear down of camping. We enjoyed the back yard a lot and Bob was helpful.

Nice lay out of the house and property. Close to the beach and Fort Bragg downtown. Very quiet.

The cottage was cozy. We had a nice stay and the calla lilies are gorgeous in the back yard. A couple things that could improve the stay would be a new mattress in the spare bedroom, a refrigerator that stays closed or replace the seal on door, clean the mold and caulk above the shower wall. Those are small things. It was a nice relaxing stay. Also the grandkids loved the fire pit for roasting hotdogs and making smore's!
