About this property

Avenue of the Giants Caraway Cottage (#3)

This whimsical country cottage is located directly on the world-famous Avenue of the Giants scenic drive which is an outstanding display of the giant redwood trees. The cottage is nestled under the trees and has two decks ideally located for morning coffee/afternoon barbecues. High quality bedding in each room ensures a restful night’s sleep.

E-Bike rentals now available on site!

This 900 square foot red cottage boasts plenty of outdoor space including two amazing decks which offer optimal sunshine and a yard all around the house, nestled against the hillside. In addition to the deck space and green yard space, there is a large meadow located right up the drive which is ideal for picnics and playtime. The cottage has a full sized washer and dryer located in the basement for quick and easy washing. A kitchen stocked with all the necessities (and a few snacks great for hiking) make it easy to prepare for picnics or for a quiet dinner in. The house has an on-demand hot water heater to ensure that everyone gets a hot shower!

Guests have access to the entire cottage and the surrounding yard. Additionally, a walk up the driveway past the little red house will set you right onto the hillside meadow. This meadow, with the old oak trees, pond, a fire pit, green grass, and an occasional quail, squirrel, or wild turkey is available to you to enjoy the sun and shade.
The fire pit area is a shared area for the 3 Airbnb’s.

If there is anything you may need, we are available to communicate by phone or come by the house. We are usually about 10-15 minutes away and can help resolve any issues that may arise, such as resetting the WiFi.

I do all the housekeeping and maintenance, so I very much appreciate that guests leave the cottage tidy at checkout.

One mile north of our cottage along the Avenue of the Giants is the town of Miranda, where you will find all you need to stock up for your stay. There are gas pumps at the local market, a post office, the Avenue Cafe (serves lunch & dinner), The Redwood Palace (local oysters, beer and wine), Sips Coffee kiosk, and a Sweets shop.

Humboldt County is a rural, forested area and you might find that you have limited cellular/data services. GPS/Navigation May not be accurate. Please print out and follow my directions on Airbnb.

The cottage is located directly on the historic Avenue of the Giants so there is potential for some motorist noise from other travelers visiting the area.

The best time to enjoy river activity is (approximately) late April until August.
In years of drought, the water level will be very low.

Please note that we have three Airbnb listings on this 5 acre property and if the Hilltop house is booked, you may run into the other guests in the shared meadow.
Please leave the house in the condition you found it in; clean the kitchen, tidy up and do the dishes. We will take care of the laundry. Be respectful of the neighbors; quiet hours begin at 10pm, including the fire pit/picnic area. If you are traveling with a pet, please do not allow it on the furniture or beds and do not leave it unattended in the house.
Thank you

Perfect little spot in the heart of the Redwoods!

We had a great stay! The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. It was a short drive to the breathtaking redwoods and conveniently located near downtown Miranda, where we found a small country store with essentials. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Convenient Location

This cute spot is very conveniently located. It is right off the Avenue of the Giants. It is close to a cute coffee shop in Miranda as well as a good burger place called the Chimney Tree Grill. Our stay was short so we didn't have time to use all the amenities, but the property was beautiful and spacious. You couldn't see the neighboring cabins due to landscaping choices which was nice, even though bamboo was a strange choice considering the location. Enjoyed the faux fireplace, the board games, and the spaciousness of the cabin.

Quiet, cozy, getaway in the heart of redwoods

We really enjoyed our stay at the Carraway Cottage! It had everything you need to stay comfortable and relaxed. We were pleasantly surprised that the water filtration system allows you to drink straight from the tap so we could refill our water bottles too. The bed was very comfortable, it was clean and well-kept. The location is central to the beautiful attractions of the redwoods. We took several hikes and had a fancy dinner at the Bennie Inn. Highly recommend!

A cozy place to stay when visiting the Redwoods

A nice, cozy place to stay that was nearby the various Redwood groves. A grocery store was just a short drive away and access to the Eel River was close by. Owner was very communicative about instructions and was available if we had any concerns or questions. A great place to stay.

It was a sweet spot to meet my mom for an overnight birthday gathering. It was tucked away with lots of greenery. It had all the amenities and comfortable bedrooms to retreat to at the end of our evening. Marissa had great communication. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Above and beyond expectations!

My husband and I live in Fortuna, about 35 miles north of this cottage. We wanted a getaway close by because we only have one day off together a week but we wanted a nice, romantic place to celebrate our four year wedding anniversary. The Cottage was affordable and very pretty in the pictures and I would have been so happy with the basics but the host went above and beyond filling the place with amenities and details to make the stay amazing. There was really good quality coffee, tea and everything you need, a fully stocked kitchen so no need to bring anything pots or pans or anything like that.there was even picnic dishes to take to the picnic area and a blender, veggie slicer and all that. There was even food in the cabinets and freezer. We brought our own but I just thought it was so nice of the host to include. Also wifi, Netflix, an electric fireplace in the tv stand, there are two balconies with pretty lights. My husband and I had a lovely dinner under the stars and redwoods at the patio table on the deck! I'm already planning on booking again when my parents come to visit, I know my mom will be obsessed with the decor like I am. This was my first time using VRBO and I was super impressed! I highly recommend this place!Also the host was helpful and gave stellar directions, GPS isn't very reliable as the cell service is spotty on the drive BUT I had full service at the property!
