About this property

Heart of the Redwoods EQUONI Cottage w/ Sauna

Welcome to our EQUONI (River) Cottage. Come relax in the heart of the Coastal Redwoods at one of the most relaxing, beautiful places you will ever experience. This cottage is one of three Cottages on our property and is stocked with all the amenities of home to provide a wonderful vacation in the middle of the Redwoods.

This cottage is on our 6 acre property tucked in the middle of the beautiful Redwoods with a Sauna on the back deck to relax in after all your exploring. This cottage has a large backyard with direct access to the creeks, fire pit, free firewood, & plenty of seating. The house has 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom (with Jacuzzi Tub), Living room, Dining Room, Full Kitchen, & Laundry Room. It sleeps up to 9 with a King, Queen, Full, Twin, & Queen Sofa Sleeper beds. Feel free to explore our property & enjoy the creeks that run through the back of the property where you can sometimes find the wildlife enjoying, as well.

You will have access to the whole house & back patio area. Feel free to walk around our 6 acre property & during the fall enjoy our wild berries that encircle our property. Don’t be surprised if you are visited by our Elk! We offer free WiFi for all your streaming, gaming, or conferencing needs.

We are tucked in the middle of the National Redwood Park & close to Fern Canyon/Gold Bluff Beach, & Prairie Creek Redwood State Parks. Please note: from May 15-September 15th a day-use permit is required for Fern Canyon/Gold Bluff Beach. It is best to acquire this online before your arrival. We are 18 miles south of Trees of Mystery, 20 miles north of Trinidad with so many trails, beaches, & lagoons in-between. We are a great central point in all your adventures while exploring the beautiful North Coastal Redwoods while providing a cozy oasis to rest in-between your adventures.

Sometimes in our neck of the Redwoods, we lose power. Now we have a whole-house GENERATOR so your stay with us is not interrupted.

This cottage had everything we needed as a family of four! My son (12) loves to fish and we bought a 30 pole from Walmart... he spent every night fishing the creek behind the cabin. He caught trout back there which was exciting because we are from the midwest. We were also visiting to hike in the redwoods and Fern Canyon. Both were incredible and a short drive. We would absolutely stay here again... in fact this was our favorite place to stay of the entire trip.

Fantastic cabin!! Would stay again in a heartbeat!We saw elk right outside our cabin every day which was so fun for the whole family.The creek outback had a great spot for cold plunging and we loved it!Close enough to many great spots. We loved the local California Native Wood shop in Orick which was a recommendion from the house guestbook, and Founders Grove was our absolute favorite Redwoods stop hands down. The Sequoia Park Zoo Redwood Skywalk was also among the kids favorite activities.Cozy cabin, very well appointed , comfortable beds, quiet at night and well kept clean property.Thank you for having us!

Perfect Redwoods hiking location.

The Equoni house was a great location to access hikes. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The host did a great job of communicating (like- you will need to get groceries on your way there because there are not restaurants or stores nearby). We did the nearby James Irvine hike and Fern Canyon. Spectacular!

Has it all

We only stayed one night as we were passing through on a long road trip. But we wished we could stay longer. This place was cozy, had a great atmosphere and everything we could want. The owners thought of everything to keep their guests comfortable. I can’t imagine a better choice in the area exists.

Everything was perfect with our stay. We were easily able to cook. They have all the basics including spices and oil. They even had laundry detergent. Also we loved how the couch was made up for sleeping in a clean was. Could not say enough good things about this place. One of the best BNB I’ve stayed at.

Great location to hike in the area

Fantastic quick response when we had a BBQ issue upon our arrival. Our first night’s dinner was saved thanks to the actions of the on-site staff. We hiked many trails that were never more than 10 minutes from our door. Loved the trails and loved our home.

Highly recommend

We were skeptical when we pulled in because the property faces Hwy 101, but trusted the reviews and were not disappointed. We loved this house!! Not only is the house filled with all the supplies we needed to feel at home, the beds were so comfortable, the towels thick, the shower/tub felt like a spa and the property was magical. Our kids loved playing in the creek and the elk were a source of awe and excitement. The owners were attentive and caring. It's such an easy location to get to hikes and the ocean. It was perfect for our family who still has a kiddo who naps. We would come back and recommend it to anyone wanting to spend time in the Redwoods who wants a peaceful getaway. We loved it!
