Fun fulled girls trip

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.

Incredible Property & House!

We had the best time during our stay! The house is so beautiful and has an incredible view. The house was very clean, very well stocked, beautifully decorated, private, and very comfortable. The check-in / check-out process could not have been easier. We had a great time exploring the area and looked forward to coming back home to this beautiful house each night. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area, we look forward to coming back again!

Great Spot

Very clean and rural spot with amazing views. The house itself is well represented in the pictures. We used this for a multi-generational family get-away to the Redwoods and couldn't be happier. An easy drive to grocery or dining out. Unbelievable opportunity to relax and visit the Avenue of the Giants!

A nice home away from home with a spectacular view and kid-friendly touches

We had a great time at this location. Well stocked kitchen, hot tub (which unfortunately we couldn't use because of the rain), washer and dryer, everything you need. The view is as excellent as the listing suggests, and it sits up on a hill in a nice, quiet neighborhood. There were thoughtful touches for parents with small kids in particular, with a little secret nook behind the bathroom where you can find the trundle bed. Lots of toys and books to keep them entertained throughput your stay. Highly recommended!
