The location was a peaceful stay. Absolutely perfect if you are bringing your dog with you. Updated decor and very nice sundries. The hot tub was clean and in excellent condition. The darling sitting area/bar area out looking the deck was a joy to sit and enjoy the sunrise over the grove. I only wish the lawn was as green and lush as the photos show. We would definitely come back.

Carlon is a great host, and this is a wonderful place to stay. Our dog loved the very spacious property outside, as did we. Inside, there was plenty of room for three of us (and the dog), and yet it had a warm, cozy feel. We did lots of cooking in the very modern kitchen (the appliances seemed brand new), and we barbecued on the outdoor grill as well. The location was convenient to town, but nestled in a wooded area which was quiet and beautiful. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Very nice little house, great yard. We had a wonderful time. The only problems we had was our little dogs could find ways out of the yard and under the deck because of gaps, otherwise it was awesome.

I’m really sorry the pup was able to get out, some pups are pretty creative for sure but it sounds like all turned out well! Always know that you are always welcome to come back and stay with us again at any time! We have 23 other homes and cabins here on the coast so you will definitely have options with us!

A Perfect Getaway: Clean, Dog-Friendly, and Thoughtfully Designed

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Fort Bragg! The place was impeccably clean and wonderfully dog-friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The property was so nicely done, with all the comforts of home and special touches that showed the thoughtfulness of the hosts. It felt like we were on a serene country property, offering plenty of privacy, yet it was just a quick 5-minute drive to the heart of Fort Bragg. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Ft Bragg Stay at The Grove

The house was immaculate and everything worked perfectly. We enjoyed the deer that visited the property each day.Our daily walks included more deer sightings, a brown bear lumbering along from 100 yards away and even a docile skunk that strolled away harmlessly! The path along Pudding Creek Beach was amazing.This was a relaxing stay. We will return!

One of our daily visitors. We enjoyed him "deerly".

The Grove

We had a great time staying at the Grove! The house itself was quaint and worked perfectly for two adults and two kids. For us, the main draw was the yard space and the inside/outside option with the bar was perfect. We also brought bikes and used them as our town transportation!

The house was exceptionally clean with many small touches that made us feel comfortable and at home. We stayed for my husband’s 81st birthday and he has some mobility challenges and this home met our needs perfectly. He loved sitting on the deck watching the deer and we both loved the quiet location. Only negative is the WiFi and TV internet were sometimes a little hit and miss but I would stay again as the overall experience and setting exceeded my expectations.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay overall. We loved the location because it was quiet and tucked away, yet still close to town, restaurants, shops, and the beach. The house was clean and nicely updated, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like games inside (Yahtzee) and outside (corn hole), as well as the fire pit. Another plus was that the house is dog friendly so we were able to bring our dog along for her very first beach trip. The main downside was the shower not draining properly. While the host did respond quickly and attempted to have it fixed, the issue wasn’t resolved during our stay, which meant we couldn’t use the shower normally. The host did provide a partial refund for the inconvenience, which we appreciated. Overall, a great place with lots of positives, and we’d consider staying again.

Im so glad that you enjoyed our home and hope that you had fun getting out and exploring! We did have a plumber come out and found out that the entire system had to be replaced but they are doing that and will be done by Friday - Brand new system! I cannot apologize enough but just know this is very uncommon for us, rarely have issues but with a home when they happen , it always occurs at very inconvenient times - Like during your stay! Just know if you do choose to come back to this home, the plumbing should be working perfectly and should drain like a normal home should! Thanks again for being our guest, we feel so honored to have had you as our guests and hope that you will come back and visit us again at any time!

My pup and I had a great time doing nothing but relax. I loved the inside of the home. It gave me great ideas for my own home. Very clean and well kept. Nice seeing the dear around the property. Although my pup Jazz had no idea of what it was. I hope to stay here again. Thank you so much.

The Grove

Everything was very nice. Beautiful trees around the place, quiet and wonderful deck to relax and soak up the sun. Great location.Only thing was hard to get comfy on the furniture in the living room. And the back mattress was not great comfort either. Otherwise, really enjoyed our stay. My husband had to look on you tube to work the coffee pot. But it did make good coffee!
