Beautiful place
Posted May 9, 2024 on HomeAwayVery clean and beautiful structure. The pictures on the site make you think you will have a river view and maybe even be able to walk out to the river. That is not real. It’s a short hike or a drive to the river. Not a huge deal but we were a bit surprised.
The fireplace smokes up the entire home. We turned off the the heat and it still did it. Fireplace is beautiful and heated the room but smoke was everywhere!!!
Other than that, I would stay there again!

Amazing House!
Posted Nov. 18, 2023 on HomeAwayWe loved our stay at this house! It was a little hard to find in the dark since there's no address posted, but other than that everything was wonderful! We're looking forward to staying again next summer when we come back 😊

Beautiful with some FYI's
Posted Jul. 29, 2022 on HomeAwayThis is a beautiful property. The pool was perfection. It was clean, just the right temperature for hot weather and well maintained. The home is eclectic, spacious and comfortable. We had a few hiccups during our stay: the a/c unit is new, but even so it couldn't cool the space. Keep in mind it was 100° every day we were there. We tried everything, but the indoor temp hovered around 90° with the ac running. There isn't cell service at Hawkins Bar, you need to drive to Willow Creek for a signal. The wifi at the home works for basic needs (email, web page viewing) but doesn't really support streaming. There are also no cooking basics here, salt only, no pepper, other spices, plastic wrap, foil, oil, etc. This was fine, and we picked up everything we needed at Ray's at Willow Creek, but it is always nice to know ahead of time what is needed. There is a Keurig but no coffee pot, but plenty of Keurig pods were supplied so it worked out great! There were lounge chairs around the pool, plenty of seating on the deck, and an outdoor table and chairs for meals.
River access was tricky to find, but there was a beach there and a deep swimming hole. There are no folding lawn chairs at the home, so plan to take your own. The road to Hawkins Bar is steep and winding, so plan to take your time. Willow Creek has the basics: A small grocery store, gas station, and a cool little place to get pool toys, sunscreen and river items. The Pizza Factory is good as well. If you want to do some actual shopping or more tourist type activities, Arcata or Eureka, about an hour away, is where you will need to go.
Joanna at Vacasa was so incredibly helpful. We were evacuated our second night due to a wild fire a few hundred yards behind the home. We were able to get in touch with her and she was so kind. We also left a few days early due to the heat and the ac issues. Again, she was extremely kind, helpful and accommodating and followed up with us to assure us she understood the concerns. I would absolutely vacation again at Hawkins Bar (once the ac is fixed, which Joanna was working on with the owner!)

Memorial weekend trip
Posted May 31, 2022 on HomeAwayThis place was perfect for all ages. The house was clean. The amenities were abundant. The pool was awesome. The lake was spectacular. I wish we would of booked for more days. This may be a yearly trip for us now.

GLORIOUS!
Posted May 1, 2022 on HomeAwayThey thought of every convenience. It was cozy and rustic and lavish and luxurious all at once. Peaceful, private. Pristine. Games, adorable wooden dollhouse for children, every cooking tool imaginable, imaginative and eclectic decor. Wildlife glimpses from every light-filled window,. I almost don't want to give this wonderful home the praise it deserves, because when enough people discover it, I will probably never be lucky enough to find it vacant again. Love it. One of the best,probably the best vacation rental I have ever stayed in!
