About this property

The Black Cabin, spacious, secluded and tranquil.

Welcome to the Black Cabin.
Your little private haven in the middle of the woods. The cabin was built in 1940 and has served as a family retreat until now. Newly remodeled, the cabin offers a modern trim with a cottage feel. Try our outdoor shower situated in the remnants of giant red wood. Explore the town and come back to a quiet and secluded refuge. Kick back and relax, no need to make the beds or finish the dishes, enjoy every minute of the house because it’s fully serviced after every stay.

The cabin does have a wood burning stove, but we ask guests not to use it and use the space heaters instead for heating purposes.

We provide a space heater but bringing your personal space heater is recommended during the chilly months.

We provide bedding for the 2 Queen beds, if more is needed. Please make a request as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate.

In addition to the steps at the front door, the kitchen has a sunken floor. Take extra care coming and going from the kitchen.

We have one security camera by the front door and the back patio, for the safety and security of the property.

Comfy cabin

We’re so glad we found this well maintained comfy little cabin that is pet friendly. We’re surrounded by a quite serene setting of trees and grass for the pups. It’s so close to so many places to visit. We love this place and have already made plans to come back!

Not bad. Low ceilings and so so remodel, but decent place in a good quiet neighborhood. Not far from beaches, ft Bragg, or the village.

Quiet stay in the woods!

Our family's time at the black cabin in the woods was delightful! There was plenty of room for all 5 of us (2 adults and 3 kiddos). The setting was just a couple miles from Fort Bragg, so it was perfect for our drive up the West Coast!

Beautiful spot. Bring a heater

Everything was as described and it was a great place in a great location. As the listing warns, the place can get chilly. Definitely plan to bring space heaters and/or firewood.

Short stay

Loved location saw deer grazing. Quaint. Suggest lubricating the windows and sliding glass door they are hard to open and close so we couldn’t get any air circulation.

Fantastic Location, Well Appointed

We had a great stay at The Black Cabin. The open floor plan was spacious, aesthetic is just our speed, the wood burning stove was reminiscent of my childhood and the kitchen was well appointed. The games were appreciated! We loved the location, set a few minutes out of town in a totally private spot. The yard needed a bit of a tidy up (hammock and picnic table in disrepair and some wood debris in sight) but we thoroughly enjoyed it none-the-less.

House was not cleaned in between guests

Me and my family arrived to the VRBO and all of the previous guests dirty laundry, dirty dishes, slept in beds, dirthy bathroom- had not been cleaned by a cleaning service. It was filthy. The owner had no backup towels or sheets. We had to find a new rental last minute. Nightmare!

Great location but needs some improvements

The setting is tranquil and very relaxing, in a quiet neighborhood where we had deer grazing in the yard daily. The cabin is quiet and comfortable however the bathroom needs some serious improvement. The shower is pretty much not functional if you are taller than 5 ft. Also the curtain rod in the bedroom fell off the wall the first night we were there. Also has issues getting the Roku to work. Still enjoyed our stay but things could have been better.

Quirky cabin

Super quirky little cabin. Had to contact the owner for check in information on the afternoon we arrived, they did respond quickly but would have been nice to have in advance. The yard was rather unkempt which was a bit disappointing, but with the code access was easy. Plenty parking at the front of the cabin, Inside it has been updated and is cute, it was super cold when we arrived but once we got the burner going it warmed up. There was an initial fire starter but we booked for another night so I’m not sure how we would have started the fire without fire starter or kindling. We had to leave early due to my husbands business. It’s a cute, basic little cabin, probably ideal for those who only want a base but maybe a bit too basic for us.

The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was 30 degrees out when we stayed and the small heaters in each room kept us warm. The bigger heaters in the living area work great. The wifi is really spotty. You could watch tv but as soon as one of us got on our phone, the tv would stop working. You could only be on one device at a time. It was just a reminder that we needed to unplug and enjoy nature!

Quiet country near the ocean.

The property is located just out of the main Hwy 1 corridor and was easily located. The neighborhood is quiet and the property is thickly vegetated so it seems a though you're miles from anyone else. The rooms are small but relatively comfortable. If someone in your group is over 6'2" or 6'3" they should be aware of the low beam and ceiling in the kitchen. The kitchen has a good selection of utensils and pots/pans if you plan to do any cooking. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

Nice quiet little house

Other than the bedrooms and bath room doors would not close completely (get stuck on door jam) it was a nice little house. Nothing fancy inside but everything you need. You do have to watch for the SMALL hard to see step from the kitchen to the living room. The location is great if you like quiet out of the way like I do, but it means driving a few miles into town or beach. Overall a nice little house.

Nice Stay

My family had a very nice, comfortable stay at the black cabin. The open floor layout worked out well for my sister to keep an eye on her 9 month old at all times as a crawled around. Only issue we had was getting a fire started in the wood stove because we don't have a ton of experience with them. I reached out to Benjamin and he contacted me right away to give me some tips. We got a cozy fire going right away. The property also had an outside shower that was a fun surprise.
