I had a wonderful stay here with my dog—plenty of space inside and out, with a huge fenced yard perfect for fetch. The house was clean, beautifully decorated with local Redwood-inspired touches, and felt very private and peaceful. The hot tub was a great bonus, though it had a slight odor—nothing that ruined the experience. I appreciated the well-stocked kitchen (though oddly, no salt and pepper!), and the fragrant flowers and koi pond added to the charm. There was a faint incense smell indoors, which didn’t bother me but might not be for everyone. The location was ideal—close to scenic hikes in Arcata Park, the stunning redwoods, and even a fun visit to the zoo in Eureka. Highly recommend this spot for solo travelers, couples, or families looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway.

Fabulous home away from, perfect for dogs!

We had a fantastic time here, our dogs loved the big fenced in yard, and we loved watching them have fun! A nice surprise was a cherry tree in the backyard and blueberries and apples in the front yard. The house is really nice and clean and spacious. The kitchen was perfect, it has everything you need to make meals, with a propane bbq in the backyard. We were really happy and comfortable, thank you for the wonderful experience!

A picture is worth a thousand words!

This property surpassed our expectations. We are first time users of VRBO and are sold on the accuracy of the description of the property and the neighborhood was quiet and very clean/tidy. We felt so at home here and look forward to visiting again from Canada. Awesome local restaurant The Green Barn. Thank you for making our vacation so enjoyable. We can’t recommend this property enough especially with the wonderful and spacious backyard. Thank you!

Beautiful spot in an amazing location

We had such a lovely time staying at this cabin! My dog and I stayed over the weekend, and friends joined me for a few days afterwards. We just felt so easy hanging out there, and I always felt safe walking around the community by myself. We also experienced all the kinds of weather this area has to offer and the cabin was great to be in for all of it. Random side note: I have to say this is the first time I have enjoyed the house coffee at a rental! Being able to walk to nearby amenities or drive up north or south for adventures was awesome. We were also able to patronize local businesses, and everybody we met in this neighborhood was just lovely. Lots of thoughtful touches like the dirty dog towels and USB points in the kitchen. Easy check in and great communication from the host folks. Thanks for a great stay!
