The house was great. Its been a while since I've rented a house that has cable/Netflix already set up. The charm of this house is amazing and the owners were amazing in communication. The views out any window are stunning, full kitchen meaning they had everything you needed. Had a great time!

Very serene atmosphere and beautiful views surround. The home was very comfortable and clean. Love that they have a large sectional couch so everyone can be comfortable. My husband and I took four 17 and 18 years olds and everyone had space and enjoyed their time here.

This was our second time visiting Whispering Ferns and it didn’t disappoint. The location is perfect and the house has anything and everything you need. The kids loved looking for fairies and finding banana slugs in the forest! The home is clean and the beds are super comfortable. Jeremy and Cynthia take really good care of their home and it shows. Communication was clear and easy! We had a great visit and will definitely book again.

Lovely setting. Quiet and peaceful. Great yard. House very nice. Only issue. On day we were to leave the garbage man took the insert away so had to bring bags of garbage home.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul 2026
Margaret, Why didn’t you call and ask what to do with your garbage? I have never in all the years my home has been rented ever had a guest take their garbage home with them. You drove right by the garbage cans that the housekeeper wheeled to the main road very early Monday morning, as you were leaving! Future guests reading this comment, call if you have any questions or concerns. I mention this constantly in any and or all correspondence. I guess there is a first for everything!

This was the perfect house for my family, two sons in their 20’s, grandparents in their 80’s and me in my 50’s, plus 2 dogs. It was well stocked with a beautiful backyard. The house was centrally located, within 15 minutes of beaches, Forrest’s, shops, and restaurants at Fort Bragg. I would highly recommend, and will definitely come back!

The place was beautiful. The setting magical nestled in a secluded grove of trees. Super close to everything in Fort Bragg. We’d recommend an editor to trim down the voluminous arrival documents to a one pager with bullets and a little more heat in the hot tub, but all and all a lovely experience. Would visit again! Thank you!
