The location of this place was really great, McKinleyville itself had the necessities, the very cute towns of Trinidad and Arcata are within a 10 minute drive, and the epic redwood parks are about an hour drive. Actually, if you want a quick redwood hit, the Arcata community forest is breathtaking and very close. This place was also really great for our dogs, including a fenced spacious yard.

the property is very nice overallWe had 5 adults for a wedding weekend but there were so few clothes hangers, we had to go buy a couple dozen and we left them there . Also FYI the ironing board was broken. I was able to make it work with a little effort but it needs to be replaced.The shower in the main bathroom was so slick I also had to buy a non slip mat to avoid problems, and the on/off valve is missing a handle making it hard to operate for the girls with less hand strength and annoying for all who used it.I wish i had a dog to enjoy the big beautiful yard

Fabulous home away from, perfect for dogs!

We had a fantastic time here, our dogs loved the big fenced in yard, and we loved watching them have fun! A nice surprise was a cherry tree in the backyard and blueberries and apples in the front yard. The house is really nice and clean and spacious. The kitchen was perfect, it has everything you need to make meals, with a propane bbq in the backyard. We were really happy and comfortable, thank you for the wonderful experience!

I had a wonderful stay here with my dog—plenty of space inside and out, with a huge fenced yard perfect for fetch. The house was clean, beautifully decorated with local Redwood-inspired touches, and felt very private and peaceful. The hot tub was a great bonus, though it had a slight odor—nothing that ruined the experience. I appreciated the well-stocked kitchen (though oddly, no salt and pepper!), and the fragrant flowers and koi pond added to the charm. There was a faint incense smell indoors, which didn’t bother me but might not be for everyone. The location was ideal—close to scenic hikes in Arcata Park, the stunning redwoods, and even a fun visit to the zoo in Eureka. Highly recommend this spot for solo travelers, couples, or families looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

This property surpassed our expectations. We are first time users of VRBO and are sold on the accuracy of the description of the property and the neighborhood was quiet and very clean/tidy. We felt so at home here and look forward to visiting again from Canada. Awesome local restaurant The Green Barn. Thank you for making our vacation so enjoyable.
