We were a group of 13 staying here for our Peace Corps Tanzania reunion, as well as running the Avenue of the Giants marathon/half/10k. The place was even bigger than it looked online, with plenty of space to host the whole group and have a nice cookout after our race and on a really beautiful property. The host was quick to respond with any issues we had (the only minor thing was running out of toilet paper) and we found them to be very helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice group getaway in the Redwoods.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re glad the property worked so well for your family! The spacious layout clearly made it a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.
The Kitchen is well stocked and a pleasure to cook in.

It’s wonderful to hear the kids enjoyed exploring the land and pond! The property sounds like an ideal home base for adventures in the Redwoods. We look forward to hosting you back!
This was a great family house. We had plenty of room, the kids loved the pond. It was secluded and not too far from the Redwoods and all that there is to do there. We really enjoyed the home. It felt very homey!

Great Home
We loved the entire home. The setting was beautiful and had everything we needed.
Nice big space, but not enough seating or dining areas in one spot to accommodate everyone.

Thanks for your feedback! While the property offered plenty of space, we appreciate your note about seating and dining areas. This is helpful for future guests to plan gatherings more comfortably.
Every detail from the making the reservations, the lovely home and beautiful location made our family celebration very special. Excellent in every way.
The house met all of our expectations. Very clean and well taken care of. The kids enjoyed the game room and there was enough space for the whole family. Would definitely stay here again!
This house has absolutely everything a large family needs for a great vacation! Beautiful, clean, lots of “toys” & a breathtaking wooded trail that leads to a private pond. Property manager Chris was so kind & helpful. Close to the beach & great shopping. Something for everybody. Can’t wait to come back!

This property was amazing! It fit our family reunion perfectly. There was plenty of space to spread out. The game room was a hit as well as the kitchen as we could find everything we needed. It is truly a hidden treasure.

Thank you, Carol. We appreciate you leaving the kind review and so glad you enjoyed this wonderful location.
My family and I traveled here to be surrounded by the majestic redwoods and peaceful silence. The home had every amenity we needed and several we never touched. We were pleasantly surprised by the fondue pot and ice cream maker even though we did not use them. The drive to the house is stunning. Traveling the last week of May made for perfect weather and temperatures. I strongly recommend this home and it's comfortable accommodations.

What a wonderful experience! Being surrounded by the Redwoods and enjoying the peaceful silence sounds truly memorable. It’s great that the home was well-equipped, the drive scenic, and the weather perfect for your stay. Your strong recommendation really highlights how special this property is.
This is the one. Book this one. Especially if you have a family group of different generations. There is something for everyone. Games, TV, hikes, the pond. The house is immaculate and has every amenity. Full kitchen. Terrific coffee bar. All you need is the fun and the food

Redwoods
The house was great. We had 14 humans and 3 dogs at bigfoots hideaway and we had a great time. The place is ideal for dogs. There are no neighbors that can be seen from the house so the dogs are free to be dogs. Its close enough to everything you need and everywhere you to want to see on a redwood vacation in my opinion. We also made it down the road to the casino in Blue Lake where i thought the dealers were exceptionally nice.
We came for a wedding in the Blue Lake area. It suited our needs. Wish we could have stayed a little longer and used more of the amenities the place had to offer, such as barbecuing and more games. But everyone found something to keep them occupied. Hopefully we can come back.
Great, modern, huge house for a big group stay in the Redwoods. Very clean and tidy. You could easily spend an entire vacation just at the house, there is so much to do there!
If using Google maps, note that the directions are incorrect and you may get lost. Do not turn on Grassy Creek Ln as the directions say, go to the next road which is where the property is. From there, follow the marked signs and you'll have no trouble finding it.
