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.

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!

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 .

Lovely home with great hikes from the door

This is a wonderful property, particularly for a couple travelling with a dog. The place is very clean. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. The bedroom is comfortable. The bathroom is particularly pretty with natural tile and a window overlooking the garden. The front garden is lovely with gated parking. The back garden is private and gated separately so the dog can go out the back door from the bedroom without having to be on leash. They provide a dog bed, which is nice because pets aren't allowed on the furniture. I put the dog bed in the hall closet so that it was out of the way and we could close it off from the living room at night. While I understand why the dog wasn't allowed on the couch, the dog did not, and he would have been sleeping on the couch if he had had access. The location was also perfect. There are great hikes in 3 directions easily walkable from the property and it is an easy drive to the redwood forests. The hosts were very responsive.

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!

I picked this location because it was close to the Redwood national Forrest which it is. I was traveling with my dog and the owners are very pet friendly. They had a fenced in backyard area off the bedroom, which was a nice bonus for her to be able to roam around and go to the restroom without being on a leash. The house itself is very quaint and has everything you would need and the outdoor sauna is very enjoyable! There is ample secure parking and instructions from the owner prior to coming and information in the house were extremely good. The beaches nearby are amazing and there are many that were pet friendly my dog and I had a very nice time and would stay again.

Sweet Oasis

Well designed... Beautifully decorated..peaceful and inviting... We loved our stay and plan on going back. The only problem was that the GPS directed us to the street behind the property. The kind neighbor came out and directed us to the correct street. aparently this was not the first time that this had happened as he knew exactly where we were trying to go.
