This place is a gem!

This place is so awesome and a little piece of paradise. The beach is approximately a two mile walk but it’s beautiful across a bridge over the river and down a road that has a bunch of farms. The unit itself was super clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. There are nightlights in several spots which were super convenient, even one of the plants had lights that was a nice touch. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and cooking things you might need. The backyard was just what we needed to let our dogs do their business without it being super inconvenient and to go outside and play while we were getting ready for our day. The gas stove was great for heating the living area and the electric heater did a great job at heating the bedroom. All of the instructions around the unit were super helpful. The front yard was the best- immaculate, peaceful, and amazing gardening skills with a beautiful fountain and even some resident frogs I didn’t get to meet oso, but my husband did and he said he was very friendly. Joellen was so nice to greet my husband and then later greeted me when we ran into each other on our walk to the beach. It was very spacious and the private parking was a nice touch so we didn’t have to worry about finding parking at all. Highly recommend for a vacation get away!

Lovely stay

My wife and I enjoyed our stay here with our 2 little dogs. The sauna was especially nice, but it is also a nice location to get to a lot of beaches and forests!

Exceptional VRBO

We have stayed in a few rentals in Humboldt Co and have always had a wonderful time with very nice properties but this one rose to the top of the list upon entering the yard! Exceptional landscaping and privacy! Little attached cottage had everything we need! Very well done! Comfortable bed with a slider for cool air. Nice accessibility to area beaches and forests. Will definitely stay again!

Peaceful spot and convienient location

We are repeat guests because we love this property and its amenities. It is located along the Hammond Trail where there are many options for walks. There is a great sauna that I used every day. The yard is beautiful and the backyard is perfect for letting your dog roam. The property owners are great.

A very pleasant Humboldt stay

We enjoyed this peaceful property! It was great to be able to bring our dogs to visit our homesick college freshman. Beautiful grounds. We loved the sauna. The unexpected view was a bonus. Felt very secure behind the gated driveway.

Peaceful and Private Property

We loved our stay at this lovely spot in McKinleyville. The unit is private with a nice little backyard off the bedroom where we sat and enjoyed the landscaping. The frony yard looks out to the ocean and has a little spot to sit and enjoy the sunset. The sauna is a gem and the Pictures do not do it justice! The location is excellent, we took walks every morning before heading out for the day. The house has eveything you need. The yard is beautiful with off street parking included. Joellen is a great host .

Great place to stay! Use as a home base for exploring the Redwoods and hanging out at the beach. Their home is very quiet, comfortable, and offers many conveniences. 5-stars for the parking situation. My wife and I highly recommend!

Cozy, Comfortable Location!

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for cozy, quiet, and relaxed. The attached 1 bedroom place is well appointed, and very clean. The hosts live onsite. They are nice people and considerate of your privacy. Nicely landscaped fenced in yard, with secure parking. The views out the window, towards the bay, are stunning! Dog friendly as well!
