Cottage is the right term

Check in and out was easy. There is a small market about 5 mins away in Orick that has any basics you might need. We saw elk on the property most days. There is elk poop all over the property, but we didn’t mind since we got to see the elk. The sauna has a hard time holding heat, as it has many gaps in the frame. The house smells like mildew after the first day (the cleaning products help cover it up for the first day). The queen bed is very comfortable (I’ve been told) but the king bed could be replaced. Linens were very clean and shower works perfectly. It’s right off the freeway but we didn’t hear any traffic while we were there. The home is in an RV park, not out in the woods. There’s access to prairie creek, which is absolutely beautiful, but make sure to put on deet. The home claims to hold up to 9 people, but I would say it holds 6 comfortably. The living room space is small, so sleeping on the pullout bed is right in the middle of access to kitchen or laundry. The circuit breakers break if you run the fireplace and the microwave at the same time.

This cottage had everything we needed as a family of four! My son (12) loves to fish and we bought a 30 pole from Walmart... he spent every night fishing the creek behind the cabin. He caught trout back there which was exciting because we are from the midwest. We were also visiting to hike in the redwoods and Fern Canyon. Both were incredible and a short drive. We would absolutely stay here again... in fact this was our favorite place to stay of the entire trip.

Fantastic cabin!! Would stay again in a heartbeat!We saw elk right outside our cabin every day which was so fun for the whole family.The creek outback had a great spot for cold plunging and we loved it!Close enough to many great spots. We loved the local California Native Wood shop in Orick which was a recommendion from the house guestbook, and Founders Grove was our absolute favorite Redwoods stop hands down. The Sequoia Park Zoo Redwood Skywalk was also among the kids favorite activities.Cozy cabin, very well appointed , comfortable beds, quiet at night and well kept clean property.Thank you for having us!

Highly recommend

We were skeptical when we pulled in because the property faces Hwy 101, but trusted the reviews and were not disappointed. We loved this house!! Not only is the house filled with all the supplies we needed to feel at home, the beds were so comfortable, the towels thick, the shower/tub felt like a spa and the property was magical. Our kids loved playing in the creek and the elk were a source of awe and excitement. The owners were attentive and caring. It's such an easy location to get to hikes and the ocean. It was perfect for our family who still has a kiddo who naps. We would come back and recommend it to anyone wanting to spend time in the Redwoods who wants a peaceful getaway. We loved it!

Perfect Redwoods hiking location.

The Equoni house was a great location to access hikes. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The host did a great job of communicating (like- you will need to get groceries on your way there because there are not restaurants or stores nearby). We did the nearby James Irvine hike and Fern Canyon. Spectacular!

We only stayed one night as we were passing through on a long road trip. But we wished we could stay longer. This place was cozy, had a great atmosphere and everything we could want. The owners thought of everything to keep their guests comfortable. I can’t imagine a better choice in the area exists.
