This tidy, quiet little studio was nicely appointed and quiet for our getaway to the redwoods. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful with every aspect of booking, and with sending out someone to replace the gas cylinder on the firepit. A very nice place to stay.

We enjoyed the stay and found it comfortable and well suited for me and my wife. We were a bit surprised to find out it is built in the back half of a large metal garage. But I must say this little apartment is well designed and has everything you need. The hosts have thought of many details that make staying there very nice. They have a charging station for any kind of electronic device you have. There’s a Bluetooth speaker. Flashlights, Keurig coffee maker and several pods. The tv has Amazon prime, Netflix accounts logged in for using.. there are USB ports on the headboard of the bed. We didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen has everything you would need. There are 2 things that impressed me the most. One is how clean it is, very clean. The other is how quite it was at night. Probably quite during the day also but we weren’t there during the day. There are only 2 minor issues I can think of while staying here and they have already been mentioned in other reviews. The first issue is the size of the shower. It is very small and could be a problem for a larger person. Also, if they had a detachable shower head like motorhome have it would make it easier to shower. The second thing is the bed being against the wall on one side. The person laying on that side needs to crawl in and out of the end of the bed. Again, these issues are minor and would not stop us from staying here again if it’s available. We travel up to this area a lot and will definitely be staying here when we can.

It was pleasant. Very comfortable bed. Well stocked kitchen. Pleasant sofa to relax on. Safe surroundings.

Owners have created a welcoming space with games, regional history books, and thoughtful conveniences.

The property was easily located and absolutely adorable inside. The location is convenient with close access to the freeway. One of the most relaxing and impactful recharging vacations I’ve ever had. Jim & Randi were very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend staying here and will likely do so again.

Decor was nice and lots of extras. Love the Keruig coffee. Bed comfortable but beware of its corner. In a tight spot.

Nice little place to stay while exploring the Redwoods and the Humboldt Bay area. The house is well supplied and comfortable. There is an interesting collection of books and some lovely art.

Perfect stop if you are headed to the avenue of the giants part of the redwoods. Everything you could possibly need was provided by the owners with close access to the highway. Clean and organized property from top to bottom. I would recommend this property to others, exactly as described

Exactly as advertised. Clean, easy check-in, hosts were great. And so close to the redwoods! Nice stay. We had a great time. Thank you!

Ok so this place is lovely. Would definitely come back and probably will. I came here for a personal retreat but I also have a work from home arrangement and I was able to set up shop there comfortably with plenty of space and mostly great wifi. (Just a couple of brief moments of spotty wifi over the entire week.) It's location is pretty great for activities too. As long as you didn't plan on not driving at all you're about 20 minutes away from Avenue if the Giants, about 5 minutes away from horseback riding, and less than 15 minutes away from grocery shopping and restaurants. (No doordash you city girl you.) The Black Sand beach I went to was about a 1.5hrs away and the drive was exquisite. I think there's a closer one though but I'm glad I made the drive. It was well worth it. And the room was beautiful. HOWEVER, the shower is not made for anyone overweight or with long ligaments. It's not impossible but you will be tight! Ask for a picture before you make a decision if you fall in those categories. Bring a shower cap to, especially if you're short lol. Also, depending, I wouldn't necessarily come with more than 2 adults. 4 will probably not want to share the bathroom, there's a lot of glass doors (glass windows on doors). Definitely would be awkward if not everyone is related and whoever is sleeping on the futon has to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Other than that, the kitchen is fully loaded, the bathroom, patio, decor, everything is wonderful and I will go back if I go up there again. Which I will...

the property was clean, the fridge is small and there is no closet, but they found a roll away to bring in. the owners are very nice.

We loved our weekend getaway. The studio was comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you!

The apartment was larger than we expected, with lots of fun nooks and crannies. I loved having a door to the bedroom so I could sleep while my husband stayed up late watching movies. We had a wonderful stay, even with the smoke from all the fires.

Had a great stay. Visited Avenue of the Giants. Incredible! Kicked it on the back deck by the fire pit in the evening. That was a nice change.

My high school friend and I decided to celebrate 50 years as friends in the redwoods. The Rio Dell Retreat was a perfect location f or us to travel the Avenue of the Giants, visit Ferndale and Redwood National Park. The futon and bed were comfy, the neighborhood was quiet, and we enjoyed pilfering blackberries over the back fence. We left an Apple watch by mistake and Randi responded super quickly, sending her team over to find it and mailing it back the same day!

This might be the most interesting VRBO we've stayed in! A little 1 bedroom built into a garage. It has all the necessities and Jim was very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to questions!

The Rio Dell Redwood Retreat was perfectly located for a trip to the Redwoods and more. The hosts are incredibly organized and have a cute little hideaway prepared with everything you'll need to enjoy a quiet vacation.
