About this cottage rental

Located in Fort Bragg, this charming cottage for $244 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Salmon Run 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 romantic getaway? Make your way to Salmon Run, a luxurious vacation home that features great amenities, a spacious kitchen, and breathtaking views of Noyo Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. You won’t have to swim upstream to enjoy your vacation at this fully renovated historic treasure. During the height of the salmon industry, the building that is now the Salmon Run operated as a cannery, and fishermen would gather here to trade their fresh fish for an equal weight of already-canned salmon. At the time, salmon were plentiful, even near the river mouth, so fishermen didn’t have to go far to find their supper, and this bustling trade fed local families and visitors alike. Although the cannery is long-gone, the Salmon Run pays homage to the long heritage of salmon catching in the harbor. Located next to a working pier offering a front-row seat to local fishing boats offloading their bountiful, fresh catch, the Salmon Run features a two-story setup with a downstairs kitchen, an upstairs bedroom, and the best of both worlds: a convenient location that provides a refuge from the hustle and bustle of ordinary life. You’ll enjoy privacy when you’re home, but when you’re ready to go out, you’ll relish the close proximity of world-class restaurants serving the freshest seafood you could dream of. (If you’re not a seafood fan, you’ll have your choice of award-winning dishes from top chefs working with the best local ingredients.) For those who have more culinary know-how, the fully equipped kitchen will call your name. The layout will give you ample room to create your masterpieces, and the four-top stove is at your service. Dazzle and delight for a quiet night in with a delicious home-cooked meal, or fuel your adventures with fresh meals and snacks you’ve prepped for the road. For outdoor excursions, you have your pick of the numerous trails and activities along the coast. You’ll want to set aside some time to explore a multitude of wonders, from pristine beaches to towering redwoods to secluded waterfalls. Every state park offers its own charm, from Russian Gulch to Jug Handle to MacKerricher. If you prefer smooth sailing, check out one of the paved trails, such as the North and South Coastal Trails or Pomo Park -- or set your course north to MacKerricher’s famous boardwalk, where you’ll spot seals, sea lions, and tide pools. Beach days await at Pudding Creek or Big River. Or take the Skunk Train for a trip back in time -- and to the heart of the redwoods. The possibilities are endless! Need gifts for friends or family -- or yourself? Head to downtown Fort Bragg and explore everything the town has to offer. Within a couple of blocks, you can browse quirky and joyful socks, peruse used and new books, visit galleries featuring talented local artists, or find your new favorite fashion. In the Depot Mall, you’ll find everything from jewelry to shoes to baby clothes, as well as the delightful desserts of Laurel’s Deli. Come for the cookies, stay for the trains and history. Of course, we won’t tell if you end up taking an impromptu dessert tour instead… Post-excursion, kick back and avail yourself of the flatscreen TV or watch the sky come alive with color as the sun sets over the harbor. In the evenings, you can rest easy, knowing your journey is complete for the day. Snuggle into the comfy king bed and sleep well. Whatever plans you hatch at the Salmon Run, you’ll feel refreshed and energized as you set out on your next trek! About the history of salmon in Noyo Harbor – from the locals who lived it Commercial salmon fishing began in the Noyo Harbor in about 1916. The fish were sold whole & uncleaned for cat food only. Human consumption of salmon started years later. Founded in the late 1940s, Sportsman’s RV Park was the first sport center for salmon fishing in the harbor. Founded by Ray Welsh and 3 others, it was open from June through September and very lively and active throughout, packed with all forms of current-model tiny RVs and pickups. 16’ and 18’ fishing boats were made on site and could be rented along with a 6hp motor. At the time, there was no need to go far out to sea to catch salmon -- they were abundant near the river mouth. Fishermen would bring the fresh salmon back to the building called the “Cannery” (now the Salmon Run), where they would trade the fresh fish for canned salmon. There were also a smoke house and other related building facilities on site to go along with the fishing and camping. Fresh water was obtained from a secret tap into the city water that the city knew about but could not find. Through the years, the piers and docks grew with the fishing trade, and they were always packed with boats. Note on the bathroom - There is one bathroom in the house which is upstairs in the master bedroom. That means that anyone staying in the house that needs to use the bathroom will have to get there by going through the master bedroom. Mendocino has some very unusual designs and this is a great example of that . STUFF THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW THIS RENTAL IS LOCATED NEXT TO AN RV PARK IN THE HARBOR This rental is located next to a a classic, old school RV park that have been in the harbor for decades. I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you . IN THE HOUSE The house binder has just about all the information you might possibly need and probably a little more.  GARBAGE There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit. VEHICLES There is only room for two vehicles which can park directly in front the unit. If there is need for additional vehicles, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since  there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !

At first we were a little turned off at the location being next to where the trawlers off load their catch, but soon we really enjoyed watching the process. Watching the sea lions and seals added to our enjoyment. Also the close proximity to some great eateries was a bonus. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved everything about our stay in Noyo Harbor, and Salmon Run was the perfect home away from home. The home itself is clean, well-stocked, beautifully decorated, and comes with great views. I found it impossible not to ring the bell at the top of the stairs every time I walked by, much to my husband's annoyance. We cooked all our breakfasts and one dinner in the Salmon Run kitchen, which had everything we needed for preparing meals. So much is within walking distance--Sea Pal Cove with its crispy fish & chips prepared with local fish; Sea Princess, just stumble out the front door for some yummy clam chowder; Sacred Woods, filled with unique items is just a short walk away. It's an ideal area to explore on foot. Glass Beach and the Coastal Trial are a short drive away and offer stunning views and plenty of fresh sea air. Lots of little shops to visit on the main drag in Ft. Bragg. Cafe Beaujolais is about 20 minutes away in Mendocino, but worth the drive for a nice night out. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and hope to visit again.

The pictures online undersold this rental, we loved it! The view from upstairs was amazing! We loved watching the boats come and go and the two sea lions swim around. The house was very comfortable and had all the amentities. We also enjoyed the dock. The fireworks could be seen from the upstairs livingroom which made it perfect for avoiding the traffic and people. The location was great as well. We walked to Silvers on the Warf one night and to the Noyo Fish Company another night. We would definitely return here again.

Salmon Run was perfect for our long weekend getaway. The house is well-maintained and clean. We liked having the privacy of "our" own quiet place while also being close to Ft. Bragg. Our favorite part of the house was the large upstairs window with a fantastic view of the mouth of Noyo Harbor! We enjoyed sipping our coffee while watching sea lions and sea birds playing and hunting in the water. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again on our next visit!

Really loved staying at this cozy cabin at the harbor. Excellent location for restaurants and exploring. Enjoyed watching the seals from the upstairs living room. Super cute and clean. The owners/managers were fabulous in keeping up communications and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay!

We all loved Salmon Run, and had a delightful stay in September, 2022 It’s very comfortable, is pet-friendly, and has everything we needed. We loved the second-floor views of Noyo harbor meeting the ocean. Great sunsets! The sunny back porch is just large enough for two people to sit and have coffee. There is interesting marine art and crafts on all the walls, a custom-built bookcase, and a convenient bench out front. It's been fascinating to be in a busy harbor with commercial and sport fishing. We enjoyed unbelievably fresh red rock cod fish and chips, and fish tacos, at Noyo Fish Co. At night, we watched DVDs in the second-floor sitting room. The fridge, stove, microwave, coffee station, utensils, pots, pans, dishes, and kitchen tools are great. Safeway is so close that it’s easy to pick up anything you need, even if you arrive late. We cooked some of our meals, and the dishwasher and double sink made cleanup easy. There are linens for the pull-out couch and master bed, and extra throws in a chest upstairs. (Note that if you have three or more separate adults, you may need to bring an inflatable mattress and extra bed linens.) There is a lot to do in Fort Bragg. We explored Glass Beach, had great coffee at Headlands cafe, rented a two-person kayak at Liquid Fusion (six minutes away), got an introduction to riding horses at Ricochet Ridge Ranch (twelve minutes away), enjoyed the Mendocino Botanical Gardens (five minutes away). We strongly recommend Piaci Pizza for their thin crust and fresh ingredients. We also spent a couple of afternoons and mornings in the many shops, the Good Life Cafe, bookstore, headlands, and on the beaches of the town of Mendocino, just 15 minutes down Highway 1.
