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!

Fisherman's Cottage

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!

A Pleasant Stay

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. A pleasant stay all in all.

The coziest of cozy cottages! Everything here was an ideal portrait of bodega bay. I don’t think we’ve ever felt more at home in a rental. Pure bliss! Beds? So comfy, storage tucked away everywhere. Everything we needed in the kitchen. We’re already planning a return trip to THIS home from GEORGIA! Love it and highly recommend it. But save some weeks for us! CANNOT WAIT TO RETURN!

The perfect cottage

We rented the cottage to be near our grown kids who were camping at Doran Beach. It was such a pleasant surprise to enter the quaint fishing village and find the cottage perched up on the hill with a slice of a view of Salmon River and the ocean in the distance. The house was appointed with everything you could need, beds were very comfortable, shower was great, electric wood stove made for a very cozy retreat from the cold windy weather we were experiencing. Location was perfect...close to everything and a very short walk to a beautiful stretch of beach. We will certainly be hoping to return to this charming cottage in the future.

Charming cottage

1st stay at Fisherman's Cottage and we were thrilled with the cottage. Close walking distance to beach. Cottage clean, comfortable, had all the essentials we needed. Had a couple of issues, called for assistance and received prompt service, including serviceman coming to cottage to check heater. Excellent. Only other issue were ants in the kitchen each morning. Let management know at our departure. We will be booking again!!!
