We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to our friends. It is a great location for visiting the redwoods. It is very quiet and completely surrounded by lush, beautiful trees. A few deer visited occasionally.

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.

We stayed in the upstairs chalet and it was great. It is secluded, has a beautiful view of the woods and the place was immaculate inside and out. The hot tub is set back in the trees and was great in the early morning and incredible at night. I messaged one question to our host during our stay and got an immediate response from him. The chalet is a quick and easy drive to the Arcata Plaza and Cal Poly Humboldt, but is super quiet and feels like you are far off the beaten path. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed on the top floor. It was adequate accommodations but when I got there the wifi password was not correct. I called the guy and left a VM but he never got back with me. We finally asked the nice people downstairs what the password was and they gave it to us. It was NOTHING close to what was in the book. There were only 4 towels for 4 people for 4 nights and with a hot tub, it would have been nice to have had options (especially with no washer or dryer.). The hot tub made our bathing suits really, really stink even after a washing. I was not impressed.

We stayed for a few days and spent time throughout the Redwoods. It was the perfect location to see the Avenue of the Giants and the next day travel to Crescent City.

Stayed in the upper level of the Redwood Retreat for 4 nights withy family as a home base while exploring the coast and the redwoods parks to the north. Great location -felt very remote but easy access to town. Loved the hot tub in the woods. Overall comfortable stay with adequately stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a large dining/game playing table.

We enjoyed the beautiful handcrafted home and property. High ceiling and big windows let in wonderful light. Beds were nice. The jacuzzi was delightful and situated amongst the trees a short walk from our door; very private. Badminton was fun for children and adults. We’ll be back!

This place was pretty dumpy inside. No communication had us standing outside unable to get in for 45 minutes. Had to buy several basic cooking utensils. Pictures in the ad showed we rented the entire place, but then other renters showed up. No curtains or AC so the house was super hot from 2 to 6pm. Furniture was a joke, so lumpy and falling apart and uncomfortable. The house was cool and the area was great but it is obvious the renter is only concerned with collecting their monies and could care less about your comfort.

Secluded wooded home with hot tub

Secluded wooded home with hot tub

This rental worked out very well for my husband and I. We very much enjoyed the seclusion. While the hot tub is not especially fancy, it is very peaceful and situated in the woods. There is a system where you can block out times for you to use it privately. I used it every day without running into anyone at all or needing to reserve it. We enjoyed many activities from that location.… Hiking, tide pooling, kayaking. Our best tide pooling was at Patrick’s point. We were delighted to see elephant seals at Vista Point me to go me and beach combing there. We hiked Trillium Falls Trail and the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. We enjoyed the farmers market on Saturday morning in Arcata. We stayed a week and would recommend this stay.

We had a great time! Sleeping was great, beds comfortable and so quiet. We saw deer in the front yard, which was fun. Close to everything. Would rent again if we get back up to Arcata. Highly recommend. Be sure and call Lisa she a great massage therapist. My husband went to her 11/2 he massage and he said it was great.

The home is nicely situated in the forest. We were in the top unit with two bedrooms and a loft. There is a second rental on the bottom floor as stated in the rental description. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching a visit from a red fox early one morning.

Great place to stay near redwood national park!

Great place to stay near redwood national park!

Place is clean, accessible and secluded. Host is very responsive to questions, which was great. Has a badminton court in the front yard, which kids loved! As noted in the website, this place has two units. One upstairs and one downstairs. If you have kids traveling with you, don't take the upstairs option. When kids run around in the top unit, it makes a lot of noise downstairs. People who were below us waited till 10pm on the first day to tell us they were getting disturbed. We felt sorry for having spoilt a day of their vacation. From second day onwards, it was stressful to keep the kids from running around. So avoid the top unit, if you have kids. Overall a great place to stay!

If you want a quiet trip in a wooded area, this is your place. We felt very relaxed in the woods. Be careful that the drive to the property involves a pretty steep uphill, but its well worth it once you are in the place.

Charming Cabin Surrounded by Trees

Charming Cabin Surrounded by Trees

This was a charming place to stay while on a small family vacation to the Redwood Forest. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft and exploring in the trees outside, they even found two banana slugs on the forest floor! The cabin was well kept and cozy. The hot tub was in a small clearing in the trees and was magical. The whole stay was wonderful. Located between Humboldt Redwood Forest/Avenue of the Giants to the south and Redwood National Forest to the north. (30-45 minutes to either location.) Also close to several beaches and ocean views. A charming place to stay.

Good stay, lots of rules

Good stay, lots of rules

This place is in a great location, beautiful scenery. No issues really getting it booked and getting there. Took me a few days to read all the rules and some of them seemed excessive (ex there is a charge if you don’t properly split trash and recyclables). The furniture was older, not super comfortable. We honestly weren’t there that much and just needed to sleep so it served it’s purpose but if I had kids with me I feel like this place would have been challenging.

Nice cabin in the woods

Nice cabin in the woods

We liked the cabin, it was attractive and clean, fairly well-supplied and in a very quiet location. There was just one bathroom and shower for four adults, but it didn’t become an issue. You need to bring your own shampoo, etc for the shower, and the napkins and paper towels we had brought were handy. The bed I slept in was very comfortable, but the duvet was comically small
