This place is the BEST location for walking/hiking the Redwoods. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. Good showers. And Howland Road is a right hand turn out of the driveway and a three-four minute drive to the dirt two track. Can’t beat it. Rent it!

We had problems with the smoke detectors. Two kept beeping and we had to go buy batteries and replace them. The house was overall pretty clean and we enjoyed it. Our only bigger complaint was that one of the upstairs bedrooms/bonus room definitely has a pet smell to it.

We had a family of 12 stay in this wonderful home. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out, and the kids loved the game room! Very close to The Grove of Titans trail and walking distance to Myrtle Creek. We loved our stay and would stay here again. I loved getting up early and watching the birds from the living room. Beautiful!

The house was well stocked from utensils to coffee items to laundry detergent. Beautiful house with a fantastic location. Everything was perfect with the exception of one bedroom had an uncomfortable mattress. All in all it was the best place we stayed on our 17 day journey. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend staying here.

Huge variety of different sleeping spaces. Comfortable and homey. Peaceful surroundings. Easy parking. Easy access considering remote location. You definitely feel like you’re smack in the middle of the redwoods. You’re not crammed in among a bunch of other rentals.
