Enjoy a well-deserved break at this beautiful home surrounded by nature's beauty. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer forested views from the living room, dining room, and much of the kitchen. Prepare full-course meals for your entire group in the gourmet kitchen, and then head outside to enjoy the furnished patio and the two-and-a-half acres where you and your four-legged family member can get out and play.

This location is excellent as it is halfway between Arcata and Eureka, and very easy to get onto U.S. 101. It is about 44 miles south of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park which offers over 100 miles of trails, including the popular Fern Canyon and Trillium Falls Trails. And be sure to head west to explore the gorgeous Northern Californian Coast, where you can walk the sands or beachcomb for agates and shells.

THINGS TO KNOW
There is no early check-in or late check-out at this property.
There is a long-term tenant on-site.
Children under 12 are discouraged from staying here due to safety concerns.
This property is equipped with a generator, so in the event of a power outage, you won't be impacted by power loss.
Free doggy daycare is available through HappyDog (please let us know if you require this service at the time of booking).
Bayside is a very popular hunting location, and this means you might hear gunshots every now and then in the mornings during the hunting season.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.

Security camera details: There are two active exterior security cameras on-site: one at the gate facing the street leading to the house and another on the cottage that shows the driveway, parking area, garage doors, and the front entryway.

Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
