Quiet, beautiful location, homey feel.

I love waking up in this beautiful cottage where you can see Salmon Creek and the beautiful birds there from almost every window. The furnishings are very sweet and cute, couch is comfy, kitchen has everything you need and you can walk to the beach (about a block)!

Peaceful Weekend

The views from this house are amazing. If you are looking for a quiet, restful vacation this is your place. Comfortable, close to town and just a short walk to the beach. Listing is very accurate.

Adorable beach cottage with great deck view

We loved our stay at this sweet beach cottage! The deck is great to sit and enjoy morning coffee while watching the birds and deer and listening to the ocean. The only issue we had was that we couldn’t get the hot water to work in the sink or shower. Other than that we had a great stay.

March getaway

This is our third or fourth visit and we love it here. Its beautiful and a great place to recoup and take it easy. Two teeny weeny things: 1) you might want to put an ant trap near the sink; 2) Don't know how I feel about the eco-pods. I really appreciate that they are earth friendly but they're also kind of weird. Anyways, great place. We will definitely return.

Great place, but ant colony in house and Vacasa ignores calls

The location and area is great. We loved it. One issue was that there is an ant colony int the chair and ottoman inside the house . Vacasa has been remorseful in helping me deal with this. Text, calls and empty promises.

Beautiful view, loads of windows, birds, deer, sometimes otter in the Creek.

My husband and I come here once or twice a year to rest and renew. Very comfy and sweet.

Salmon Creek cabin

We loved the location within walking distance to beach. We enjoy sitting on deck watching the birds and kayakers floating by. The bed was very comfortable. The living room was comfortable also.

We had a lovely weekend. The place was clean, cozy, and very quiet (except for the nesting swallows ;)). Very convenient access to hiking and good restaurants. You can walk to the beach.

Great location, tired property

Stayed 2 nights, that was enough. Love looking right out at Salmon Creek,ducks, geese, herons and egrets all enjoy the slow moving water. But the house is tired and in need of work. In the bathroom the area between the tub and the synthetic wall panels is black with mold. The huge furniture has lost the padding and is not comfortable. The gas fireplace did not turn on, but the gas wall heater did a good job of keeping the place warm.

Great getaway.

Amazing little cottage on the water. Peaceful home, birds and dear all over and walking distance to the beach. We loved that the house overlooked a river. Amazing to sit outside and watch all the birds and deer go on about their day. Felt very tranquil for us. Home was perfect for us, clean and cozy.

Wonderful Stay

We loved this little cottage. When you first walk in, your first impression is one of “cozy.” Although small, the cottage is more than ample for two people. The couches are perfect as is the bed – very comfortable! Walking outside, one has a great view of salmon, Creek and beyond. There are no homes to interrupt your view we gave fishing a try, but probably not for enough time. That was still fun, though. All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay and recommend this home to anyone who wants a comfy stay.

The best part of the stay was being on the creek and enjoying the wildlife. But the house was not was advertised. The best was too small, there is no oven, the cc couches were full of soft hair

Estuarial!

We loved being right on the Salmon Creek estuary, watching the wrens, swallows, sparrows, and herons and even deer feed along the creek and marsh. We could hear the surf in the background and a beautiful beach was 1/4 mile walk only. The place was very comfortable and a perfect nature retreat for 2.

GREAT view!

We stayed there for 6 nights. The view from the house is amazing. The house has everything! The key was a little tricky and outside window could be cleaned but other than that we really enjoyed staying this house! We would love to come back again.

Perfect couple getaway with dog

Adorable cabin right on the creek. It had all the necessities, enough kitchen stuff to cook a bit there, and plenty of blankets and space heaters to stay cozy on cold evenings. During the day, it's a close walk to a state beach (not dog friendly) or short drive to other beaches, hiking, and little towns like Valley Ford and Bodega Bay. Cabin was clean and tidy with easy check in/out via text. Overall a great stay!

Can’t beat the location

Beautiful spot right on the creek that definitely lives up to its photographs in the listing. Really the only trouble we had was with the furnishings; other reviews mention how comfy the couch was, but it was really soft and broken down for us. It was so uncomfortable that we went into Santa Rosa to buy a chair for me. The dining chairs are super rickety also. And the mattress was uncomfortable for both of us. But honestly, in better weather, we would mostly be spending time on the deck or on day trips anyway. It was storming a lot of the time we were there in January and it was a really cozy spot to watch the rain. The location makes up for all that, so I would still definitely recommend it.

Cozy & Quiet

This house has most everything that you would need. Two different sources of heat windows that open from the top down to let in the cool ocean breezes which you can hear. You can hear the ocean. Nice areas to walk to. Lots of wild life to watch. Very cozy couch to curl up on and read a book or take a nap.
