It was a lovely time. No problems, except I was a little unclear about when I would receive directions to the place. Wasn’t aware of when they would arrive. Thanks.

Pamela. Thank you for letting me know that you did not receive directions in a timely manner. I was under the impression that VRBO sent them when you paid (immediately). They used to do it that way. I’m sorry for that. I wish you had messaged me so I could provide them. If it’s any consolation, they haven’t paid me for your stay either. I’m glad you got the directions before you traveled for your stay.

Clean, easy to find

Came for a long weekend and really liked this spot! Plenty of room to hang out after a hike, cook a meal and relax. It was easy to get to the spot off of highway 1 and most of the good hikes were a 10-15 minute drive. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a super-quiet cottage, quite close to downtown Ft. Bragg. The furnishings were fresh and well-maintained. The kitchen was well laid out, The cottage was bright and airy. We felt very private, even though the owners lived nearby. I felt very comfortable there.

Charming

This property is picturesque and incredibly charming. The owners' connection to the construction of this property was intriguing, and reassured me that they prioritized caring for this place. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, even when asking about information about town. I'd love to stay here again.

Quiet place away from stress

This place was a welcome respite from the stress and noise of city life. Close enough to Fort Bragg to be explore the town if you want to. Far enough away that you feel in a different state altogether if you want that. We could hear the ocean at night and enjoyed the cool breeze during the day. I highly recommend this spot.

Fort Bragg, and the skunk train

This was a very nice property, I was there for two nights while I rode the rail bikes on the skunk train. With the exception of some Wi-Fi problems on the first day it was actually pretty nice. Very clean and well thought out.

Cozy Cottage on the Coast

We really enjoyed our stay! A noticeably quiet cottage just outside of town but close enough for convenience. A doe and twin fawns that roamed around in the yard throughout the day and evening was a surprise. Peggy and Larry live on the property, but the level of privacy was perfect. The cottage was well maintained, clean and comfortable! We easily launched our visits to explore Fort Bragg, Mendocino, and the Avenue of the Giants while staying at this location. Great hosts and a place we would come to stay again! Shawn & Patricia

Fabulous Little Cottage - Great Kitchen

This was such a nice place - great for two people and probably OK for a couple with one or two kids. It would be cozier with kids. Nice TV with internet options and good WiFi. Really great kitchen - all the stuff you need to eat "at home". Nice Safeway in town (use the side street to get there) and everything you need to make whatever you want. We did not use the space outside, but there is nice outdoor space with a picnic table and grill. Very comfortable and quiet and we even got to see the resident deer family in the backyard.

Beautiful, sparkling clean little cottage

We loved our stay at Pudding Creek cottage! The cottage was sparkling clean. The bed was perfect, very comfortable. There is a cute little table inside, but we enjoyed taking our meals and morning tea outside to sit on the chairs or at the picnic table where we could watch the deer and baby fawn grazing in the large field behind the main house. The hosts Peggy and Larry are amazing, accommodating, welcoming and interesting people to talk to. We will most definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends. I take a Britta when we travel but did not need to use it. We had great tasting filtered water straight from the tap. Everything about the place was perfect.

Trip to Pudding Creek

The rental was clean and cozy. For some reason I didn't quite understand that it was a studio. I may have been in a hurry. The table and stools provided to eat meals at was not very convenient so we ate in the regular chairs. We coped with the layout ok. The rental is definitely more than 1/4 mile to the beach and the road is not pedestrian friendly sorry to say. Other than that, it was a nice place to stay. We are seniors so we do like a bit more comfort but were very happy to be in Ft. Bragg and have a break from the heat of the Sierra foothills. Peggy and her husband were quite friendly and accommodating.

Robin, Thank you for your input. We are new at this and welcome any helpful comments. We have rearranged things, hopefully making it more comfortable for future guests. We googled the beach and you are absolutely correct. It is 1/2 mile. Also, rural roads don’t have sidewalks. Thanks again, We enjoyed having you. Larry & Peggy
