The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and everything we needed was provided.One of our favorite features was the large backyard with the peaceful koi pond, which made the property feel like a private retreat.

It’s great to hear the property was just right for your family and dogs! A well-equipped house and a wonderful backyard clearly made your three-day stay comfortable and enjoyable.
The location of this place was really great, McKinleyville itself had the necessities, the very cute towns of Trinidad and Arcata are within a 10 minute drive, and the epic redwood parks are about an hour drive. Actually, if you want a quick redwood hit, the Arcata community forest is breathtaking and very close. This place was also really great for our dogs, including a fenced spacious yard.

This was great for us, a very nice place with room for our family. The hot tub was great when the kids were asleep and it was a short drive to the redwoods zoo and arcata. Recommended.
