Beautiful, quiet getaway near the redwoods!
This property was beautifully kept, squeaky clean and well decorated! Lots of privacy and near the avenue of the redwoods, golf courses and close enough to town for anything you might need. The kitchen is well equipped, they have thought of everything! We will definitely stay here again!

Great location for Redwoods
This is a cute cottage in a great location that allowed us to explore the redwoods to the north and the redwoods to the south. That location was in a nice neighborhood & had a nice patio and was just a cute cottage. The one thing that can be improved is that it says six people can sleep there, yet it only had seating & towels for 4. Like many other VRBO‘s that list six people, This place only had a kitchen table for four and no extra chairs to pull up. There were also only four towels. The extra two “beds/couches” would be appropriate for children sized people. So if you would expect to fit six adults or teenagers, someone’s going to get a bad sleeping experience by sleeping on the futon couch in the living room because it is short and uncomfortable. We also had to request extra bedding again once we got there. This would a great cottage for 4. We still enjoy the location and our stay and it was so much better then a hotel in the near by towns, but it would have been better for our family of 5 to have an extra real bed, more towels and a place for all of us to eat dinner together without someone standing.

If you want a clean, comfy, cozy & quiet home away from home then this is your place! I relocated and had no time to find a place to live so I opted for this little gem to be my home for a month. It is stocked with all of the necessities to cook, and also has a cute little lighted patio with a grill. The host, Jessica, was awesome and if I had any concerns/questions she replied right away. Nestled in the trees, but a stones throw from town center, it was my slice of heaven. I highly recommend!!!

Home base for Redwoods
This was a very comfortable rental. It is a newer home with what seemed to be newer furniture. The furnishings are quite minimal, and I love that because it means there is no clutter. The owners provided soap, shampoo and conditioner, and the kitchen was stocked well enough to be able to cook basic meals, though we were out all the time exploring. It was clean enough, though there was some dog hair, but not a big deal. There is a broom available for people who are very picky about their floors. Jessica was very easy to communicate with and she even came to check on us when we were getting ready to leave because a storm was coming in and she wanted to make sure the roads were open. That was very sweet. The location is perfect for exploring the Redwoods. From this home, you can easily access the Avenue of the Giants to the south (which I highly recommend) and Prairie Creek State Park, also highly recommended. The beaches along the way (north of McKinleyville) are exceptionally beautiful. Moonstone Beach was our favorite! Also, go check out Trinidad. Seascape restaurant has great breakfast and lunch. The home is very cozy, and in a very quiet and peaceful setting. For anyone debating about whether to rent in McKinleyville versus Eureka, hands-down, you should go with McKinleyville. It is safe, clean, and quiet. I am from a big city, and I thought Eureka was a dump. So glad we picked this home versus any of the beautiful Victorian homes in Eureka where I would unfortunately not have felt safe at all. Such a shame! We can’t wait to return to this home. Thank you Jessica.

Lisa was a wonderful guest that is super easy to host. She left the space neat and tidy and respected our space during their stay. Would have you back any time and would recommend to any other host.

Nice little house
We stayed here . Very minimalist design. New beds couches etc. Place could use some more furniture. But overall very good for the price. Nice neighborhood close enough to Mckinleyville beaches etc. Would stay there again
