Great Place

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.

The Perfect Stay in the Redwoods

This place was INCREDIBLE! Tucked away and into the Redwoods with 2 bedrooms, great big bathroom, windows everywhere and a loft for my kiddos to play in! The best place to come home to after fracturing all day in the Redwoods! Oh and don’t forget the outdoor hot tub! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
