About this property

The Grove - Quaint Mendocino cottage just minutes from the beach!

THE GROVE

NOTE: If you are bringing pet's , please let us know!
We do charge a fee of seventy five dollars per pet.

Looking for a peaceful respite or a romantic rendezvous among the redwoods? Come stay at The Grove, a charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath property situated on 2.5 acres of forested, quiet land in residential Fort Bragg.

Built in 1917 and renovated to suit our more modern guests, this property sleeps up to 4 people, making it ideal for couples trips, romantic getaways, babymoons, and vacations for small families. It’s also perfect for anyone looking to relax in a hidden enclave nestled amongst the trees – without having to rough it. The uneven floors speak to a century of history, and the house has plenty of quirks and historical and architectural details to please design-savvy members of your travel party (keep an eye out for the light fixtures). It also comes with modern amenities and a great location.

You’ll be a short drive from downtown Fort Bragg, with all of its small-town and small business charm. Browse art galleries, shop for local treasures, eat at gourmet restaurants, go mural-hunting, hit the trails, spot the trains at the depot… all these adventures are within easy reach. But with 2.5 forested acres, you’ll be able to retreat to your cottage and feel worlds away.

When you first arrive, you’ll notice your yard features a fenced-in garden with rhododendrons, croquet equipment, a firepit, and a deck with lounge chairs. At night, you can sit and watch the stars or roast s’mores (or both) to your heart’s content.

Inside the house, you’ll find a comfortable living room with a sectional sofa and armchairs – perfect for sinking into for game night or a Netflix binge. A selection of DVD box sets offers another avenue for entertainment. The WiFi throughout the house will keep you connected.

For dinner, going out on the town is easy – you’re a few minutes away from some amazing restaurants. If you’re a seafood fan, we recommend driving down to the harbor for the freshest catch you’ll ever taste. Fort Bragg offers a variety of options, ranging from country comfort to award-winning dining experiences, and Mendocino is just 15 minutes away. Or you can stay in and make use of the fully equipped kitchen, which comes with an oven, microwave, 5-top gas stove, ample cabinets, fridge, and freezer, as well as a farmhouse sink and a dishwasher for easy clean-up. The eat-in kitchen has a table with seating for four.

Other amenities of this historic house include an ironing board, a washer, and a dryer, so you’ll be able to look sharp for Zoom meetings or going into town.

As you explore the house, a variety of features will draw your eye. The unique breakfast bar enclosure will delight you with its view onto the yard and into the forest. The nook’s glass pane window is designed to slide down out of the way, so you can dine al fresco (or as close to al fresco as possible while staying indoors).

In the rear of the house, the spacious bathroom features a top-of-the-line shower, where you can freshen up as you get ready to explore the coast or wash off the sand after a day at the beach. You’ll also enjoy stylish lighting and a large mirror, so you can make sure you’re picture-perfect.

When you decide to call it a night, both bedrooms feature comfortable, top-quality beds.

In the front bedroom, let the Zzzs take over as the queen mattress and fascinating art lull you to sleep. In the back bedroom, you’ll find soft cream tones paired with an accent wall conducive to both rest and creativity, while windows overlook your peaceful surroundings. In the morning, if conditions are right, a soft fog will dot the space between the trees, and the breathtaking beauty of The Grove that gives this vacation rental its name will make you want to revisit these moments for years to come.

The romance of The Grove will make you fall in love with it. So come visit — but  be warned that you just might start a lifelong love affair with this charmingly rustic gem of a home.

The Grove

We had a great time staying at the Grove! The house itself was quaint and worked perfectly for two adults and two kids. For us, the main draw was the yard space and the inside/outside option with the bar was perfect. We also brought bikes and used them as our town transportation!

Well designed house for us two adults. It has all new appliances and a Rinnai hot water system. Closer to North side of town where we visited Mackerricher all the way.

A Perfect Getaway: Clean, Dog-Friendly, and Thoughtfully Designed

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Fort Bragg! The place was impeccably clean and wonderfully dog-friendly, which made our trip even more enjoyable. The property was so nicely done, with all the comforts of home and special touches that showed the thoughtfulness of the hosts. It felt like we were on a serene country property, offering plenty of privacy, yet it was just a quick 5-minute drive to the heart of Fort Bragg. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

A Perfect Blend of History, Comfort, and Nature

Our stay at The Grove was nothing short of magical! This beautifully renovated 1917 home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern conveniences, making it an ideal getaway seeking a peaceful retreat.From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene setting. Nestled among the trees the property offers a sense of seclusion while still being just a short drive from downtown Fort Bragg. The fenced garden, firepit, and deck provided the perfect outdoor spaces to unwind and let the dogs run and have fun with all the new smells outside.Inside, the house is full of personality and thoughtful touches. The modern amenities like high-speed WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a luxurious shower ensure total comfort. We especially loved the cozy living room with its sectional sofa and the smart TV.Both bedrooms were inviting and comfortable, with charming decor. Waking up to the misty forest views was a dream. The breakfast nook with its raised window was another highlight. Breakfast was served out on the nook while enjoying the ray of sunshine and watching the dogs play in the yard.Exploring Fort Bragg was a delight, with its quaint shops, fantastic restaurants, and scenic trails (Glass Beach). The property manager (Carlon) was very attentive and helpful with providing prompt feedback. We will definitely stay here again.

My pup and I had a great time doing nothing but relax. I loved the inside of the home. It gave me great ideas for my own home. Very clean and well kept. Nice seeing the dear around the property. Although my pup Jazz had no idea of what it was. I hope to stay here again. Thank you so much.

Wonderful stay at The Grove!

We spent 4 nights at The Grove this past week celebrating my birthday and we had the best time! The property is absolutely gorgeous and just secluded enough to feel like you’re out in the middle of the redwoods, but still close enough to town for all of the conveniences Ft Bragg has to offer. The house was immaculate and provided all of the necessities you could possibly need during your stay. There were even individually wrapped toothbrushes and mini toothpastes in case you forgot one! The house was just the right size for 3 of us, and the beds were super comfortable too. We loved the outdoor area, and had the most gorgeous 70-75 degree weather during our stay. Carlon the property manager was very helpful and checked in to make sure everything was going well after we arrived. We had no complaints at all about our time at The Grove, and we will be looking forward to staying here again in the future!
