This Rio Dell house was truly a diamond in the rough or should I say, literally in the side of a hill. It offered so much charm within it self and the sunrise views were insanely beautiful. It was well equipped with just about anything you might need. I loved that the “house book” was personalized with specific details about most areas in the house, guiding me through out my stay- aiming to ensure fun, pleasure, and comfort. The owners included things and places they loved in and around the area, specifically their top 10 things to do list. Super beneficial including favorite coffee spots, breakfast and dinner options near by. Owner was also super attentive to my needs - with quick response time. Would love to stay again.

The view from this property is truly spectacular! It’s also a great launching point for exploring nearby parks and attractions in Humboldt County.However, a few things to note: some areas of the property appeared smaller in person than they did in the listing photos. We also encountered a few electrical issues—smoke detectors had been removed from the ceiling, there were loose wires coming out of the wall, and an outlet in the children’s bedroom was missing its cover. Additionally, the toilet in the children's bathroom felt wobbly and shifted when in use.There was a musty odor in the basement-level room with the gym equipment, which was especially bothersome for those in our group sensitive to smells—making it uncomfortable to sleep in that space.We also noticed a few housekeeping oversights: there were no garbage bags under the kitchen sink as mentioned in the guestbook, and a load of laundry was left in the dryer, likely from the previous guests. We would have appreciated a small table, dresser, or luggage rack in the upstairs queen bedroom, as we had to keep our bags on the floor.That said, the view really made this property shine. Our kids loved searching for banana slugs in the garden, and the front living room had a great table that easily accommodated our group. The foosball table was a big hit as well. We had a great time overall!

We loved our weekend stay at this property. The views, the peace and the bath tub was worth it. The house was comfortable and everything flowed very easily and amenities were great. Our girls group loved it here as Humboldt State Park in this weather was humbling.
