About this property

Spacious & Comfy, nr Zoo SKYWALK, Garden, Redwoods, Park, & even great 4 HORSES!

*Same day reservation is possible, despite the website not showing availability.*

My furnished house is available for your group of friends, family, or traveling professionals looking for a comfortable place to kick back, with all of the conveniences you need: a fully-equipped kitchen, games & puzzles, piano, washer/dryer, spacious deck and lawn, wood-burning stove, heater, security system, wi-fi internet, bicycles, croquet, horseshoes, and plenty of parking. And… please realize that you will never need air-conditioning in Eureka!

This 2200sq’ home has four bedrooms, plus an office and two living rooms. Sleeping accommodations are a downstairs queen-size bed, with a king, queen, and twin beds upstairs. The den has a daybed and trundle bed. One of the living rooms has two convertible couches as well as room for cots or air mattress. A lot of 'equipment' for children is available upon request. The bathroom downstairs is shower-only and equipped with safety rails. The bathroom upstairs has a clawfoot bathtub. There are steps to get into the house both in the front and back. Please, no smoking or shoes inside the house.

Outside is a large back deck overlooking the backyard and redwood trees, with a deck and smaller side yard as well. The property is nearly fully fenced, but if there are dogs outside, they should be kept in the large and covered shelter (10' x 10').

I am able to communicate on a basic level in American Sign Language (ASL).

Emergency Supplies
We are prepared to keep you safe and warm in case of a power outage. Yup, sometimes it happens. BUT - At the house is a power station to keep the internet on, to charge your personal communication devices, to keep you warm with an electric blanket, and to light up the area at the flick of a switch. No fumbling for matches and candles!
If necessary, we will bring to you a battery powered refrigerator and extra portable power stations to run extra lights and heat if necessary. Having a wood stove is especially wonderful to warm the house!

Eureka is a wonderful place to stay while working in the area or visiting.

Your proximity to everything Humboldt, Trinity, & Del Norte counties have to offer is an advantage to a home-base in Eureka. And this house is a lovely way of being centrally located and close to shops, yet quiet and rural. Did you know Eureka has an old-growth redwood forest in the middle of town? You’d be able to stroll to Sequoia Park & Flower Garden in less than a minute’s walk from your front door. And California’s oldest zoo is right there too! Those otters and red pandas are adorable! Have you ever tried "forest bathing"? The practice is claimed to benefit physical as well is mental health as it help lower heart rate, blood pressure, reduce stress hormone production, boost immunity and mood, and improve overall feelings of well-being. We've got the forests for you! Eureka has a mild climate year-round, so despite the summer heat in nearby communities, 'natural' air conditioning is the only cooling device necessary in our coastal community.

This house and property is well-suited for extra-large gatherings. The initial price is set for a small group with additional people adding to the overall cost. We will set up all rooms and beds for you. Please be specific about how many infants (<1), children (<18), adults, and animals will be on the property. We want everyone to be comfortable!

This property is on the unceded ancestral territory and current home of native Wiyot people.

Missed the earthquake
Centrally located and within walking distance to the zoo. We contributed to Eureka’s economy, went to some beautiful beaches and an art gallery. Left before the earthquake, thank goodness. Nice large house with many rooms. Lots of kitchenware. Felt very safe. Beautiful redwoods all around. Had a good time.

Family vacation
Enjoyed our stay! We had a party of 7 and the house has a lot of room, comfortable beds, every thing you would need from extra pillows, blankets to games, kitchen supplies and many brochures for things to do any the area. Host was very responsive. The Zoo was not only fun but is right around the corner! The house is near restaurants and the waterfront. Would stay again!!

Redwood trip
The house was adequate for our 15 party family other than one shower in the house. It was cute. We were there for the Redwoods so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house other than to sleep and eat. The beds were comfortable. The host extremely responsive.

We were traveling with three little ones. The location was fabulous as there was a playground and zoo/park around the corner. Margo has a huge collection of equipment and games for kids on hand. Our littles loved the trampoline! Margo is the most responsive host we've ever stayed with. We were very comfortable.

We loved our stay at Hollys house. She was available when we locked ourselves out, oops. She even picked flowers on the property & put in Vase on outside tables for our graduation party. She was very kind. We had everything we needed here. Her lovely home allowed us all to stay together, comfortably, including my little 14mo grand baby.

What surprised me the most about this rental was the communication with the propert manager. She was very responsive to our needs and exceptionally welcoming. The house was a little hard to find because the number to the property is blocked by a rose bush, but other than that we had a great stay.

Wonderful house in quiet Eureka neighborhood!
We all so enjoyed our stay here! We needed a house for our family to gather that could accommodate all of us for a family event nearby. Holly was a wonderful host and made our stay so very pleasant from the start. The directions to the property were clear, and everything we needed was provided. When the sun came out, it was lovely sitting on the front porch or on the back deck. There is a huge window over the kitchen sink that looks out at some gorgeous towering Redwood trees. There is a large dining table with plenty of chairs for gathering for family meals, and the full size washer and dryer were super nice to have. The house itself is old and quirky; but the charm and surprises around every corner are fun. You will be very comfortable here, as we were. Anyone want to sit in another quiet space away from the group? There’s a place for you! Some of us went to the zoo and the Sky Walk, which was a quick walk just around the corner. We would definitely rent this house again! One other thing to note is that there were some negative reviews about the fact that the house is across the street from an elementary school and that drop-off and pick-up times were noisy. Not so. First of all, there’s a huge hedge blocking the house from road view, and secondly there really isn’t much road noise at all to speak of. Thank you, Holly!

Avenue of the Giants Marathon
Members of our Santa Barbara running Tribe traveled to Eureka for this race. Rather than stay in hotels, I reserved this property on a whim and it was the best decision! Plenty of room for us to gather, cook, eat, play games and enjoy each other’s company. The proximity to Sequoia Park was a pleasant surprise too! Many in our group said it felt like we were staying in grandma’s house - a bit rustic and nostalgic, but comfortable. Communication was great with the host - we wanted for nothing during our stay. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

What a treat! There are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a nice bedroom and bath downstairs. The kitchen is beautifully stocked. The house is very roomy and very comfortable. We were there over Christmas and the owner very thoughtfully put up a tree and left decorations! In addition, communication with the owner is outstanding. She answered every email within 15-30 minutes. We loved the house, the owner is very easy to communicate with and we highly recommend the property.

AVOID! - Rundown Home with Piles of Trash Around, and Obnoxious POC/Owner.
I have been working with a crew from out of town here for the past 6 months. I have rented over 20 homes during our stay here through VRBO. This owner/host has been miserable to interact with. Every other rental has been grateful for our business, done everything they can to be accommodating and have only said kind things about our stays and treatment of their homes. In fact, a few volunteered to go out of their way to find additional accommodations for me and my crew on their properties. This owner has complained every step of the way and has unnecessarily made remedial transaction tedious, difficult and annoying. A faucet handle broke the first day. I reported it. She complained and implied it was our fault. It was not. It took two weeks to get fully replaced. There was regulars construction happening on the adjoining house. All scheduled on the weekends when my crew was trying to relax on the property. The owner scheduled visits to inside the home during our stay disrupting our privacy The property is a run down old house with little upkeep. There are piles of trash stacked up beside the house. The owner would not let us control the thermostat so the temperature was never comfortable in the home. There is a neighbor, intimately close, that shares a driveway and is the primary view from several windows. There is regular noise and traffic that disrupted us at all hours. There is a young man who regularly (everyday) was in the backyard screaming loudly for long periods. The yard was never maintained. There was an individual who would regularly be doing some maintenance, but would not pick up hedge clippings or completely mow the yard. I had to mow the yard myself a couple times with a hand rotary mower, so the yard could be remotely enjoyable to be in. There was no outdoor privacy on the property. People were constantly walking through our private spaces. The owner was obnoxious! I have over 40 texts and VRBO messages from her complaining about things that had nothing to do with us or was not in the rental agreement. She was regularly on the property (everyday) snooping on us and sorting garbage piles and making a lot of noise. We only stayed here because it was close to the Zoo where we were working. I would never stay in this unsatisfactory home again and hope I never have to interact with the owner again. I have never left a negative review, but this owner left me no choice. Avoid at all costs!

About the host

Hosted by Margo

Host profile image
Hello! Thank you for checking out this listing. I am offering this house to visitors to Humboldt County until my family is able to join me to live in the house ... many years down the road. I hope you will let me know what you are looking for so that I can see about making this your best stay ever! A message about your group and reason for the stay is critical in making this possible.

There is a guest house (suitable for a single or couple) on this property. If you would like to reserve both for your large group, please include that in your message.

But please read the House Rules ... recent visitors have been wildly destructive and have cost me much time, money, and sanity. There is a rental agreement for you to sign prior to entering the house. I'm sure your traveling companions won't be so disrespectful (and gross), but I have to cover my tushy. :o)

Why they chose this property

Don't you want a place to spread out and relax? Quiet but not far from anything? Whether you stay local or visit nearby counties of Mendocino or Trinity ... or even drive up to Vancouver or down to San Francisco... This is the place to start the fun!

Flying in and out of our local airport (ACV) is SO easy, it makes travelling infinitely more relaxing. Fly in on Avelo, American, or United airlines.

Each year, Lonely Planet asks its community of travel experts – in-house editors, researchers on the road and locals on the ground – to decide on the most compelling destinations to visit in the year ahead. This year marks the 8th annual Best in the US list.

For 2018 Lonely Planet named California’s Redwood Coast, primarily Humboldt County, the number one destination in the country to visit in 2018. Located four hours north of San Francisco, this picturesque region spans 175 miles of coastline and is home to towering forests of giant redwood trees that you might recognize from blockbuster film franchises such as Star Wars and Jurassic Park. With Redwood National Park turning 50 this year, travelers can get their share of shinrin-yoku (forest therapy) and experience Humboldt County’s quirky new shops, oysters and brewpubs.

The entire list is available online at To see the Lonely Planet video featuring Humboldt, go to:

What makes this property unique

The great Redwood SKYWALK at the Zoo!! And there are so many other things to do... Worldwide, we are known for the glorious Kinetic Sculpture Race & the Kinetic Universe- every May, after the Tall Ships sail in. June brings the [baseball] Crabs back, the Oyster Festival and the Trinidad Fish Fry. July has spectacular fireworks over the Bay, Rodeo Week, & the Folklife Festival. In August this is the best haven to avoid the heat everywhere else, go to the County Fair, Woofstock, & see the Dog Agility Trials. September is lovely on all of the rivers and for Cruz'N Eureka. October is very busy with the Apple Harvest Festival, Pastels on the Plaza, & more. November begins Crab Season, the Intertribal Gathering, and the Mushroom Festival. December has many holiday celebrations including the Symphonies, the Tractor & Truckers' Christmas Convoy, and the Tuba Santas. January has the mildest weather of anywhere, the Eureka Crab Celebration, & the beginning of Steelhead Days for tasty fishing. February is the Inked Hearts Tattoo Festival & the Valentines Sunset Paddle. In March the Aleutian Cackling Geese "Fly Off", it's the educational & entertaining Dog Expo, plus the Redwood Coast Jazz Festival. April is for Godwit Days, the Intern'l Film Festival, & [Steam] Donkey Days. And the 1st Saturday of every month is Arts Alive!

Also, check out "Humboldt Made" for the many cottage industries that have gotten their start here... Dick Taylor Chocolate, Cypress Grove Chevre, and Lost Coast Brewery are among the most beloved.

But here in Humboldt County, Nature rules. Humboldt State University recently won the honor of havin g the highest score on the nationwide "Get Outside" competition by Outdoor Nation.
The reason? The beach, the mountains (snow in winter!), the rivers, the redwood forests (zip-lining!), the ocean - all are very close by and easily accessed. Fishing, sailing, horseback riding, jet boats, kayaking, biking, running, camping, surfing -
Sky's the limit!
