It was a cool experience. Didn't mind the dogs next door barking or the loud neighbors out late, The lock on the door didn't work (hopefully that gets fixed) wasn't a huge deal for us but we are semi local. Would definitely book again.

Such a cool space! Set right in the heart of Humboldt's famous redwoods, but only a quick drive to town (Fieldbrook, Blue Lake especially) and SUPER peaceful. We had plenty of floor space for my bestie to set up an air mattress as well. Hosts were super friendly and accommodating - would love to come back again sometime soon!

When we arrived we couldn’t help but notice that the location is in someone’s backyard. We walked past the chicken coop and went in. At first we thought we could make it work. Till we noticed that there is no privacy. From the porch of the house you could see directly into the dome and the bed was in full view. There is also no was to lock the door if you want to leave your belongings there while trying to explore the area. So we left and chose to drive back home rather then stay the night.

Whimsical and Cozy

Hosts were so kind and communicative. This space is nothing short of authentic and intentional magic - you can feel the care they’ve put into each detail. The view of trees on the property was especially beautiful and we enjoyed how much of a “home” feel there was to the place. Thank you for sharing your space and helping us to create magical memories!

Such a fun spot. It feels very secluded. Only complaint is that the firewood was wet.
