The Perfect Stay in the Redwoods

This place was INCREDIBLE! Tucked away and into the Redwoods with 2 bedrooms, great big bathroom, windows everywhere and a loft for my kiddos to play in! The best place to come home to after fracturing all day in the Redwoods! Oh and don’t forget the outdoor hot tub! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This was a very nice place to stay. Clean, quiet and private. The setting makes you feel like you are far away from everything, but Arcata and Mckinleyville are both less than 10 min from the cabin. Will definitely try to get this cabin the next time we visit Humboldt.

Graduation weekend

This is our second time renting this property, and we love it! The location is five minutes from town, but you're still in the middle of nature. Our only critique is that the beds are very firm. A mattress topper would make our next stay even better. The property is very clean and well-maintained, and our host was kind and available for any questions.
