Freshwater Lagoon Retreat

Summary:
Dog-friendly, waterfront home with ocean views, private hot tub & deck

The Space:
Book Freshwater Lagoon Retreat and enjoy an unforgettable getaway with your family or friends! This vacation rental boasts 16 private waterfront acres that sit at the entryway to Redwood National and State Parks, just minutes from the tallest trees in the world. Plus, it comes complete with a private hot tub overlooking the lagoon and the Pacific Ocean! Some things you won't find anywhere are the giant floor-to-ceiling windows throughout Freshwater Lagoon Retreat; they allow you to gaze out at the jaw-dropping natural setting. The game room features a Ping-Pong table for your entertainment - it's impossible to spend a single dull moment at this secluded retreat. The kitchen is every chef's dream, as it is fully equipped with everything you could need to prepare delicious meals, which you can enjoy in the outdoor dining area while admiring the views. This dog-friendly home also features a romantic fireplace and its own large deck.

Along the front of the house is a big deck overlooking Freshwater Lagoon and the beaches with such revitalizing views! The hiking all around you is truly world-class - whether through Redwoods National and State Parks or along the beaches of the lagoons. Walk famous Fern Canyon, wander around Patrick's Point, horseback ride or bike into the parks, or drive the scenic route through the towering redwoods of Prairie Creek State Park on the way to the mighty Klamath River. The lagoons offer great trout and bass fishing and small boating, while the beaches boast surf fishing, rock and beach treasure collecting, and surfing

THINGS TO KNOW
• The hot tub is a 120V Plug N Play hot tub. If the water is changed between guests, it will take at least 24 hours to reach temperature. Your patience is appreciated as we offer this new and delightful amenity.
• For an extraordinary, rural work-from-home experience in this exquisite natural setting, please bring your own personal hot spot as we have not been able to secure a reliable WiFi provider due to the rural nature of this home
• The property caretaker lives about 100 yards away on the same multi-acre lot. The caretaker respects guests' privacy and will only come around if assistance is requested.
• Duck hunting does occur on the lagoon from mid-October through January. There is no direct access to the lagoon from the property. A boat/kayak launch site is just a short drive around the corner.
• This home is not equipped with air conditioning. The home's coastal setting offers a refreshing atmosphere that many guests appreciate.

Other Things to Note:

Beautiful view, great property. Getting there does require driving up a narrow, winding minimally maintained road, but we loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the sun set over the freshwater lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. The home is spacious and well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels for the bath and hot tub. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this home. It was everything we expected it to be and then some! The views were top notch. We especially enjoyed the bird watching in the mornings. The hummingbirds are busy, busy, busy! The location was private and secluded. But still conveniently located to multiple noteworthy places. Fern Canyon and Golds bluff beach as well as Lady Bird Johnson Grove. Myself, my husband and our two children had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend it to others

Amazing view and perfect location for seeing the Redwoods. The house had a lived-in feel that made it feel like I was staying with a friend. We stayed over Christmas, and a tree and decorations were set up when we arrived, which was an appreciated touch! The hot tub was slow to warm up from being cleaned before we arrived, but once it did, our favorite thing to do was hang out in the hot tub and enjoy the view! This place was private, great location, and pet-friendly - everything we were looking for!

All 8 members of my family absolutely loved your property to say nothing of the fabulous nearby Redwoods. Only negative was that people had responsibilities which limited the duration of our stay.
