A lovely place to stay close to all the places we wanted to visit. Even got a birthday morning surprise visit from the elk - quite a treat! Hot water, comfy beds, all the supplies we needed and host even offered additional items since we traveled with a baby. Hope to return again!

We stayed in 3 VRBO locations on our West Coast road trip and this was the family favorite. Location was right in the redwoods, accommodations were ample, everything was clean, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I wish we could've stayed longer!
