Very cute and cozy place! We made sure to save the information because we plan to come back. Perfect location.We only had one hiccup which probably doesn’t happen to often, but due to the high winds we lost power. So I would suggest brining flashlights because eventually your cell phone power dies!

Cute inside and great location. Walking distance to beach. When we walked into home the fire/furnace was on that made it very inviting. However, no instructions on how to turn off. Followed a 3x5 index card that was for the cleaners in the binder but still would not turn off. Place got very hot and windows do not open so had to open doors. Do not leave any food on counters because the ants will come. Provided coffee but no cream or sugar. States they have kayaks but I wouldn’t trust them and difficult to get to them.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Fisherman's cottage. We love Salmon Creek and enjoyed the proximity to the beach. The cottage was very cozy and we loved the charming Cape Cod style decorations. The host left the lights and music on for our arrival which was very welcoming. You can't beat the proximity to the beach which is just a few minutes walk from the house. We would love to have a return visit to this charming cottage by the sea!

Due to proximity to the ocean doors were sticking and door and gate hardware was corroding but I think that would be expected. The cabin, fireplace, furniture, dishwasher, excellent wi-fi and easy walk to the beach and Salmon Creek are all positives. The neighborhood was very quiet. Also another positive is the easy drive to restaurants and shops.

The house was cozy and well appointed. For the most part we enjoyed our stay. However, there was a drip in the shower that was very annoying particularly in the smaller bedroom. I called to arrange maintenance and was told someone would stop by. I spoke to the man who was to stop by and he did not have the equipment to repair the drip and said he would pass the information on to the correct person. I never heard any more from the number I called and no one came to fix the drip.There was only one sheet on the bed in the master bedroom. We had to sleep between the bottom sheet and the blanket. That didn't seem right.

We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy and the kitchen was convenient. I highly recommend kayaking on the Russian River. We had a fantastic tour guide and there were very few people around so we got to enjoy the wildlife. Being from Wisconsin, we have always poked fun at the California Happy Cow commercials. It turns out that the cows in Sonoma County do appear happy. I can't yet vouch for the rest of your beautiful state.

Beautiful surroundings, quiet, cozy, nicely decorated, well stocked kitchen, good beds & linens
Tsunami advisory on our first evening was a little scary but it ended up being a non-event. We appreciated the informational email & phone check from the rental agency. Living room furniture cute & comfy but sofa seat cushion could use a good cleaning. Oven was old, gas burners needed to be lit (a warning about that might’ve been helpful) and we could not figure out how to light the oven so it went unused. Exterior is old (and charming) but could use a few repairs and general maintenance. Interior was better but still a few areas needing attention (bathroom). Wonderful outdoor spaces. We appreciated all the coffee table books with their beautiful photographs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Difficult to leave!

The cottage is quaint though is in need of some minor general repair. All doors to outside need to be weather sealed (very drafty). Some dishes/cups are chipped (in several places) and should be replaced. Yard is overgrown. Location is great, easy & quick walk to the beach. Overall it was a nice stay.

What a sweet little cottage with a lovely location just steps from Salmon Creek and beach. I spent a quiet week working with great internet access and grandchildren ages 5 and 6 came over the weekend and enjoyed the cute twin bedroom and walk to beach. Would definitely recommend for singles, couples or small family. Can't wait to return!

All was as expected with one “miss”… no starter coffee! After a late arrival in a remote location to find no coffee available in the house and a late morning trip to a convenience store the only option it was a rough start.
