Redwoods Adventures

This was the perfect place for us to stay at while we were visiting the area. It was a central location to be able to do day trips to Eureka, Arcata, Trinidad and Fern Canyon. The house had everything we needed and a beautiful backyard. The street is pretty dark so be careful when driving. The listing is accurate. Two of the rooms are connected, but can be seperated a sliding barn door. The only thing I wish there was more of was bath towels or access to the washing machine/ dryer. I would definitely stay here again though.

Quiet and relaxing

We enjoyed our stay and loved the neighborhood. Place was clean and well appointed with a big backyard. We had two criticisms of the place though. The third bedroom isn’t really a bedroom and you have to walk through a bedroom to get a bathroom.

Redwoods and the ocean

This was an awesome stay! The location is PERFECT. We were minutes away from multiple beaches, tide pools, beautiful rivers, farmers markets and those amazing redwoods! It was fun exploring Eureka, Arcata and Trinidad. The home was beautiful. It was just where we needed to unwind after a day of hiking and playing by the ocean. Both beds were comfy the bathrooms were spotless and the showered were great. The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up a quick breakfast before heading out. Each nite we had a comfy couch and a big old TV to watch. It was heaven!

Comfort and quiet for the win

I had a very busy weekend due to my sister's wedding. This home was a perfect getaway from the chaos. The home is close enough to the store when you need a few groceries and tucked away enough for my husband to have a quiet space to finish school work. My favorite part was the coffee grinder. I love grinding my own fresh beans. Definitely recommend this beautiful home!
