Redwood Visit

We loved the view of the trees, birds, and ocean. We appreciated the kitchen being stocked with lots of dishes and spices. We also loved the deck, the furniture, the old books, and other unique aspects of the house. The location to the Redwoods was also great!

Oasis in Orick

Such a peaceful retreat! The home was spacious and very conveniently located. Loved the huge wrap around deck for watching hummingbirds and enjoying sunsets with views of trees on hillside, farm pastures and nice glimpse of Pacific Ocean. So well-stocked, comfortable, charming and a perfect home for enjoying northern California and the Redwoods. If you prefer being near amenities (grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants) I do not recommend this home, as the town of Orick is quite isolated. I loved that aspect, though, and a huge reason why I chose it. It is an escape!!!!!

Billed as a “retro” property with almost all 5/5 ratings I expected an amazing place with an amazing view (and “splurged” the extra cost thinking this place would be a great end to a vacation at lesser lodgings) but it was just old (70’s) with an odd old lady smell, and although clean, it was just an old clean home to stay in. It was expensive (~$400/night) and not worth that. The Wi-Fi (billed as excellent) would not support our Firestick) although you could use your phone online. The view (billed as ocean view) was a small space between the bushes where you could get a glimpse of the pacific on the edge of the deck, and that wasn’t great. The bed seemed lumpy and needing replacement in the master room. The worst was that our host texted us the evening of arrival that our power would go out the next morning from 8-4 the following day (and we had items in the fridge and freezer) for our planned second day there. Thankfully they refunded us promptly at our request the following day plus 1/2 the cleaning fee and that was reasonable and made things right. Vacasa, the host company was very responsive and very helpful; they were great! Overall, it was much less than expected and less value than expected. This would be a fine place for someone with a large group to use primarily as a staging place for hiking in the area but not for someone (like us) to spend a nice time enjoying the place, down time, views and some quiet tv time in the evenings binging on your shows.

Property needs deep cleaning

This property needs deep cleaning. There is a very bad dusty/moldy smell especially in bedrooms. Not possible to have a good rest there, and the smell sticks to your clothes. I doubt it is healthy to breathe this in. We had to leave after one night, we would leave on the first day but arrived too late to look for something else.We have contacted Vacasa, but were told that since we didn't wait on the property for their inspection they will not reimburse us. I am sorry I have to leave review like this, but I think it is only fair to other potential renters. I had to move and pay for another rental and it doesn't feel right.This house has obvious potential, beautiful view from the terrace. But Vacasa is not a good host and should treat clients better.

Great location

Very clean and well maintained. The weather was terrible while we were there, but the pellet stove was amazing & kept us cozy. There was plenty of room for the family to spread out. The boys especially loved the hot tub after wet, cooler hikes. The internet was not very good, but cell service at the house was fine. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something a little more secluded, but really close to the national & state parks.

9.9/10, with a recommendation

The home was immaculate and the housekeeping staff do an excellent job. It felt like I was visiting a relative ( a super clean one at that) the three rooms were a great size, and the primary room was just that the primary room. I have one recommendation is that the primary room bed be changed from the current offering ( memory foam). And this is 100% my preference. For example some one else might love a memory foam mattress and write a similar review asking for memory foam. As opposed to a spring mattress or any other types of mattress. Luckily the other beds were comfortable for a good night rest. Thank you for this lovely stay.

Great home…..but

We were so excited to stay in this home for the week while visiting Redwood National Park. The location is fantastic—while the town of Orick doesn’t have much going on, the house is conveniently close to many popular hiking trails. When we arrived, everything was clean, comfortable, and seemingly perfect. We were ready to enjoy our week!However, waking up the next morning to cockroaches covering the kitchen was a nightmare. We killed at least a couple dozen and immediately called the manager. He showed up that morning with a can of Raid, which did little to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the infestation persisted throughout our stay. Every morning, we found more roaches and had to take extreme measures—storing food in the microwave, rewashing every dish before using it (since roaches were even inside the dishwasher), and worrying they’d get into our bags and come home with us.Despite repeatedly voicing our concerns, the only compensation we received was a refund of the cleaning fee. We were told the owner would be contacted about a further refund, but that never happened. This ongoing issue put a huge damper on our trip, and we were disappointed by the lack of action taken to ensure our comfort.Would we stay here again? Absolutely not, unless the roach problem is fully addressed.

Perfect Getaway

1. Communication and instructions were clear, easy, and very much appreciated. There were lots of ideas of things to do in the area. 2. The property had everything we needed to feel right at home: beds were comfortable, kitchen so well stocked, plenty of necessities, lots of different sitting areas so it was easy to spread out, lots of ways to entertain yourself at the house.3. Perfect serene spot to explore redwoods, beaches, and southern Oregon. 4. Extra perks: hot tub soaking at the end of long hikes, stars at night are amazing, the views, a huge deck.5. Something to consider if this is the place for you and your group. This is a very small town with a population of 357. Grocery stores and places to eat are a 20 min drive. We cooked all of our meals and the kitchen had just about everything we needed. The small grocery store in town did have essentials.

The home is a dedtination as much as the Redwoods

There are not enough words to explain how spectacular this place is and how excited every member of our family was to just walk in the door and see where they were going to stay at. The house was so immaculately clean even though it was a very large space you could walk through it with white socks and never have dirty socks. The bathrooms had these wonderful little extra designs like folded towels that made it feel like you're at a resort . The kitchen was fully equipped and could have had eight people cooking in it at once.... there was a dining area next to it that was perfect for having not only family dinners but playing card games. and never have dirty feet

This house was perfect for us 4 single Hiking Ladies. It was a great location to visit Redwood National & State Parks. Not far to head south to Trinidad or north to Jedediah Smith SP and everything in between. House was spacious and well equipped. Large deck was wonderful for dinner and happy hour and sunsets. And remember to grab a pizza at Mo Jo's Food Truck just down the road.

Perfect stay for visiting Redwoods

We absolutely loved this house. It was clean, spacious and had amazing views. We especially enjoyed listening to the many different species of birds in the yard as we drank our coffee on the deck every morning. The kids got a kick out of all of the retro decor and it brought my husband and me back to our childhoods! I highly recommend this house.

Perfect home base

We stayed during our trip to Redwood NP with four kids (ranging in age from 4-9)! This was the perfect location - we were only about 10 minutes from the trailheads that we wanted to do. We all loved the retro vibe, the kids thought it was cool and had fun with all the books, games, and toys available.
