Beautiful house in a tranquil setting near the beach. What else could you ask for?

Loved everything about the house. The space, solitude, amenities, and beauty of the home and surroundings were perfect. In fact, each morning we had a deer who would come to the backyard. Would definitely come back!

I can't say enough good things about this rental. From booking online to our actual stay we had spectacular communication from the host. The place itself was gorgeous - it was such a relaxing trip and the amenities made everything so comfortable. I don't usually visit a place more than once, but I am already looking forward to having another opportunity to stay here.

This was a really cute propery that was secluded but so close to everything. We didn't attempt to use the hot tub but they have a fee for it. The home was clean and had my favorite flower and color on the table when we arrived. ( cool coincidence) I use to clean for a few years so I have an eye to cleaniness and details. I was impressed overall and we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The house was so clean, well stocked and beautiful. We loved having coffee on the large deck and walking down the path to the gazebo in the forest. The town of Fort Bragg is a short drive away as are multiple beaches. What a magical place!

We had an amazing time in Fort Bragg. The property is exactly as pictured – perhaps better! Our kids spent most of the afternoon exploring the backyard, spotting deer and banana slugs and rabbits. The fire pit was a wonderful addition to our evening. We can’t wait to come back and relax in nature and all the comforts of home. The house has everything you need! I was especially thankful for the extra towels for the hot tub. The kitchen is fully stocked and clean. There is a special place in my heart for the game/reading room. Lots to choose from.

The house and property were both very nice. The house was well kept. We loved the visits from the deer and the jackrabbits. Sitting on the back deck, enjoying a cup of coffee was so very relaxing. The owner was very quick to respond with the questions we had. We would highly recommend this place and hope to return.

We stayed the weekend and had an absolutely amazing time. Everyone kept commenting on how quite the house and area is. We enjoyed the peace and quiet!

Beautiful property, amazing location, great space for kids to explore. Host is responsive and a great communicator. Highly recommend this spot.

Jeremy was great with communication. There were some issues we were concerned about and he dignified our request after some back and forth correspondence.

Great stay! Wonderful shops and restaurants and beautiful property with extremely comfortable beds!!

This property is incredible. The photos don’t do it justice! The detail in both the home and the landscape of the property are amazing. We’ve never stayed at a rental that had this type of beauty surrounding us on all sides. The wildlife, the blooming flowers, the privacy, and the amenities provided within the home, as well as the hot tub… this is probably the best home I’ve stayed at since we began staying in short-term rentals. Last but not least, the owner, Jeremy, made our stay as easy as it could have been. He was easily the best host I’ve communicated with in every aspect of the rental process. He replied immediately to every question I had, provided me with alternative options and solutions when I had a scheduling conflict, and was a pleasure to speak with over the phone. A lot of love was put into this home and the property surrounding it and it shows. We HIGHLY recommend this home if you are looking to stay in the Fort Bragg/Mendocino area and want a relaxing, cozy, private place with some great custom touches to the inside and out of the home. Thank you Jeremy!

This property could not have been better. It was perfect! Private, close to town and the ocean, clean and comfortable.

We had an amazing stay at this property. The kids and dog loved running around and rolling in the grass and flowers in the back, and we took countless strolls to the gazebo on the hunt for Banana slugs. The property manager was very responsive and took care of everything we needed. The home itself was stunning and had everything we needed for the two families to stay. The location is perfect as well, just far enough to get back in to the trees and nature but close enough for a quick trip in to town. I’ll be keeping this place bookmarked since I know we will be back soon!

The home was beautiful, and the property is absolutely magical. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the views upon waking were breathtaking. We will definitely be back, we did not stay long enough! Highly recommend for a retreat style getaway that feels off the beaten path, yet close to downtown where you get to experience the quaint vibe of Fort Bragg. What a lovely time, thank you!

The house was very comfortable for the 7 of us (3 couples, 1 grandchild). Lots of places to spread out. Nice big table for games. Added bonus: 5 acres of forest and meadow to explore! Host Jeremy was excellent to work with. He was prompt and thorough in answering my questions before the trip. We had a great time and would stay here again.

Wonderful secluded setting in a clearing in the forest, minutes from the ocean. The kitchen was set up with everything you might need for cooking and dining in if you wish. Great communication from the owner. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The gazebo out in the woods was magical.

This house was perfect for our family of 7. It was secluded, yet close to our favorite restaurants and fun things we like to do in Fort Bragg. We enjoyed the jacuzzi at night and made s'mores out back using the fire pit. Would highly recommend!

This was our third stay at Whispering Ferns and was just as wonderful as our last two stays. The home is very well equipped with all that we needed and the location is so peaceful and beautiful. We’ve now slept in all 3 bedrooms, and each room is comfortable provided us with a wonderful nights sleep.

Beautiful property and home. Had everything we needed. So relaxing. The host was so attentive to anything we might need. Highly recommend and can’t wait until our next visit.

This is an enchanting place to stay with its path out in the trees to the gazebo with the wooden bridge and babbling brook to the quiet neighborhood while still being close to the amenities of Fort Bragg’s shops and stores. Our family had a wonderful, relaxing time.

We have stayed in rental homes on vacation across the U.S. and Europe. I’d rate Whispering Ferns right up near the top. Jeremy was great. Couldn’t have been more helpful. The property is in a great location. It is beautiful and incredibly quiet. The home fit our family like a glove. Nothing but good things to say about our stay.

Nice home, central location, no problems experienced

The check in process was easy. The owner was in contact prior to the trip and the first day of our trip which made everything easy to know about the house. The house was clean and in good shape. I stopped at the grocery store in town to pick up a box of wood to use in the fire stove, this kept the house warm all night off a couple logs. There was plenty of space for my family to sleep. The hot tub was nice and the kids love playing in it. the property on the outside was very peaceful to sip coffee or just hang out. Overall my family and I enjoyed staying here and in the future would come back.

A perfect place to enjoy friends and family. Jeremy and Cynthia have an extremely well thought out exquisite home and property. Jeremy was a joy to communicate with and I really didn't want to leave. It's always so hard to give great reviews because I probably won't be able to book the house again for a long time 😁 I hope we get to come back soon!

We really enjoyed the “cabin in the woods” feel of this property. It was so quiet and cozy and offered a wonderful getaway from the bustle of the city.

This property is truly gorgeous. Our family loved being tucked in this private, lush, and meditative space in the forest. We really loved spending time outside, running in the grass, adventuring through the trees, sitting by the firepit and enjoying the sound of birds and distant ocean waves. Communication with Jeremy was very speedy and easy. The house itself was really nice, clean, and comfortable. We loved the fresh flowers that were around the house. The kitchen was very well stocked. We also loved how conveniently located this house was in relationship to practically everything we wanted to visit. It was a super short drive to beaches, the Skunk train, food, parks, the Botanical Garden, you name it. This would have been a 5 star review if not for a couple of things. We went during a colder part of summer and the two main heaters of the house don't really suffice for warming such a big space. The fireplace helped a lot on colder evenings but the heater in the living room didn't really heat well. Jeremy was super responsive about this and said he would check that heater thoroughly to make sure it works properly. Our main complaint, which hopefully the owners will look into, since it is very clear that they care for their guests enjoyment as much as they care for their home, is that the upstairs room had a strange smell. We didn't notice it as much the first day since all the windows were open when we arrived but after shutting them and especially at night the smell was quite strong, like a chemical off-gassing you get from new furniture. We had to move our toddler out of the room since it didn't seem safe to keep her in there. The other room, the "forest" room was where we moved her, did have a slight mildew smell (likely because it is so close to the hot tub outside) but was a better fit for her comfort (and ours). We had a fabulous time otherwise and really appreciated finding such a beautiful spot to stay for our anniversary! Was a very romantic and magical area to stay.

Ideally situated to explore Ft Bragg. Property private, lovely location. Third bedroom upstairs for the fit. All good. Only complaint-it’s impossible to run dishwasher, dry and put everything away after breakfast and get away. Isn’t that what we pay cleaners to do!

Very easy and helpful hosts with a comfortable, clean home! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again!

This property exceeded my expectations starting with the host who was incredibly kind and responsive. The home and property were beautiful. All comforts of home and we’ll stocked. Our family had a blast. Hope to be able to rent again next year!

Always enjoy staying at the property. Kids have a blast and now that they are older they enjoy it even more. Close to the beach and. Jeremy is polite and easy to contact if something is needed regarding your stay.

The pictures don't do the house justice. Beautiful home and location.
