☀️🌲Falcons Perch: Nature Lover's Dream, in coastal hills above Blue Lake🪶

Falcon's Perch is a Nature Lover's Dream, resting on a beautiful meadow in the Coastal Hills above Blue Lake just east of Arcata with lovely Japanese Art pieces throughout the home, giving it both tranquility and privacy with an inviting wrap around deck. Soak up the sun in this south facing property! Enjoy the fresh Coastal Redwood air with the sounds and views of the the wildlife including the Falcons sitting in the Giant Redwoods and the herds of elk and deer wandering the land. The entire home and deck are all at the same level so it's nice and easy getting around with very few steps to have to go up or down. Nice open living room with dining area and beautiful views of the Redwoods, meadows & coastal hills, plenty of space in the kitchen and the three bedrooms are perfect for up to 6.

We stayed at this excellent property for 1 week. We had a great time , the house is clean and tastefully decorated, everything we need were provided. While my daughter and her husband worked in the morning, my grandson and I had a blast at the property. We visited all nearby redwood state parks in the afternoon. Wonderful vacation !

We loved our stay at Falcon Perch and the California quail in the yard. It’s an excellent space. It’s up in the hills where the road is a bit unimproved w no street lights at night. Other than that you will love your stay!

Wonderful! We're so glad you loved your stay at Falcon Perch and enjoyed seeing the California quail right outside in the yard.

Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we'd love to welcome you back for another peaceful getaway.

Awesome rental

This is just what iI was looking for for a getaway with my wife. This being only my second trip to California andy wifes first, it was swclude enough but still an easy drive to all the attractions that we wanted to see in our time here. We saw multiple black tail deer and quail in the yard. I would definitely stay here again.
