Perfect Cozy Getaway

My partner and I stayed in the cozy cabin, and it was great! It was just the right size for two people. Everything was clean and easy to use. The hot tub was a minute walk from the cabin and was really lovely. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend!

Love this little cabin!

This is an amazing property. It is very clean and well cared for. The host was welcoming and friendly. It was wonderful to relax in the hot tub surrounded by trees after a long day enjoying the beach and Friday night market in Eureka. A big thank you to Jeff for his hospitality!

rustic experience

We enjoyed our stay. The teenagers loved the loft sleeping area. The property was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was very clean. We would have liked more bath towels,but that's our only complaint. The directions provided by the host were easy to follow. Quick access to nearby town of Arcata and the beach (about 10 to 15 min drive). We would stay here again.

Cozy cabin adorable

Great little cabin in the redwoods. Jeffrey was kind and understanding throughout our stay. We fished almost day and night so we basically slept and showered. Bear claws tub a little difficult to get into but it worked. We would stay again and recommend.

Pretty good stay for the price

I feel pretty mixed about this property. Cute, clean cabin with the right amount of space for my partner and I. Communication with Jefferey was terse and I was worried the whole time about making a mess or forgetting to complete all of the “standard cleaning tasks” that he asked of us and reviving a fine. That said, beautiful location and

Perfect Redwood Getaway

My friend and I loved the Cozy Cabin! It was the perfect basecamp for Redwood Parks and beach adventures! It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I slept in the main bed downstairs, which was very comfortable, and my friend stayed in the adorable loft, which she loved. The hot tub was a life-saver after our long days of hiking! Overall great experience.

Cute little cabin

Great location. The cabin is next to some other cabins, not sure if they’re rentals, or other people who live on the property. So it wasn’t quite as private as I was anticipating. But over all it was a great place to stay for a few days. It might be a little tricky to find if you arrive after dark.

It's a cabin in the woods

It was a bit more remote than we expected and was a bit hard to find because there were several rental units at that address. I didn't realize it was a tub with a hoop shower, my bad for not having checked the pictures more closely. A bit challenging to get in and out of for us older folks.

Great location, difficult to locate

Once we figured out where to go and which building was ours we had a great time. Would return. Loved the whole cabin, kitchen has everything you need w a toaster oven, dishes and a few basic food items. Tub is cute as it is a 3/4 size claw foot tub. Well water tastes nice. Enjoyed the jacuzzi. I suggest you identify the cabins w names or letters and then give directions for them to the guests.

Peaceful Cozy Cabin

We go up to Arcata to visit our daughter who attends the university. We have stayed at a motel, which we were not impressed with; we have stayed at a hotel at the Arcata Plaza, which was nice, but noisy. This cabin, where we were able to stay for the last visit, was nestled in the redwood trees on a quiet property. We really enjoyed the peacefulness. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We purchased wood from the coolest grocery store and the wood burning stove was able to heat the whole cabin. Our favorite part of the stay was enjoying hot coffee on the porch each cool morning. (The coffee was also purchased at the grocery store). We will definitely be coming back!

Clean and quiet!

Overall it was a good stay. As others have stated, it's a little tricky to find. Other things potential renters should know: 1. The hot tub is a short walk down a hill. It is shared by the other renters (three I think) on the property. You can sign up for a private time slot. 2. The cabin will get light very early in the morning (late June). Like at 5:30 am. 3. Several of the windows do not have coverings (including the bathroom). 4. The shower is in a clawfoot tub. People with mobility issues may have difficulty climbing into the tub (it's about two feet off the floor). 5. They do not provide soap for the shower/tub. Or paper goods beyond toilet paper.
