As before this was the perfect place for us. I like that there are doors to separate living areas and everything is so comfortable. It was perfect to stay there with our son as he slept on the pull out couch and we slept in the bedroom. Having some outside space is really nice too and relaxing. We went for a really long walk right from the house, along the river and all the way to the beach. The scenery was beautiful with farmland areas and a people bridge across the river. It was even wonderful to do during the rain.

We ended our trip here and it was our absolute favorite place! Joellen was extremely kind & very communicative. We followed her recommendations and had a great time! The garden is beautiful and the home is beautifully designed, perfect for two people to stay comfortably. There is a bike rental a couple of streets down from the home, do not forget to spend an evening doing that! Everyone nearby is kind, and you are the perfect distance away from the beach, town & national park :)

Sweet Oasis

Well designed... Beautifully decorated..peaceful and inviting... We loved our stay and plan on going back. The only problem was that the GPS directed us to the street behind the property. The kind neighbor came out and directed us to the correct street. aparently this was not the first time that this had happened as he knew exactly where we were trying to go.

I picked this location because it was close to the Redwood national Forrest which it is. I was traveling with my dog and the owners are very pet friendly. They had a fenced in backyard area off the bedroom, which was a nice bonus for her to be able to roam around and go to the restroom without being on a leash. The house itself is very quaint and has everything you would need and the outdoor sauna is very enjoyable! There is ample secure parking and instructions from the owner prior to coming and information in the house were extremely good. The beaches nearby are amazing and there are many that were pet friendly my dog and I had a very nice time and would stay again.
