Very nice place that's out of the way but not far from town. Stayed upstairs and love the view and plenty of windows to enjoy the surrounding redwoods. Very comfortable. Second time staying there. Also has a badminton net that my family loves to enjoy.

The Perfect Stay in the Redwoods

This place was INCREDIBLE! Tucked away and into the Redwoods with 2 bedrooms, great big bathroom, windows everywhere and a loft for my kiddos to play in! The best place to come home to after fracturing all day in the Redwoods! Oh and don’t forget the outdoor hot tub! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Graduation weekend

This is our second time renting this property, and we love it! The location is five minutes from town, but you're still in the middle of nature. Our only critique is that the beds are very firm. A mattress topper would make our next stay even better. The property is very clean and well-maintained, and our host was kind and available for any questions.

Great Place

This was a very nice place to stay. Clean, quiet and private. The setting makes you feel like you are far away from everything, but Arcata and Mckinleyville are both less than 10 min from the cabin. Will definitely try to get this cabin the next time we visit Humboldt.

Relaxing forest retreat.

We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to our friends. It is a great location for visiting the redwoods. It is very quiet and completely surrounded by lush, beautiful trees. A few deer visited occasionally.

Excellent stay in the redwoods

Stayed in the upper level of the Redwood Retreat for 4 nights withy family as a home base while exploring the coast and the redwoods parks to the north. Great location -felt very remote but easy access to town. Loved the hot tub in the woods. Overall comfortable stay with adequately stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a large dining/game playing table.

Great location!

We stayed for a few days and spent time throughout the Redwoods. It was the perfect location to see the Avenue of the Giants and the next day travel to Crescent City. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was a great extra too. We had a wonderful trip and highly recommend staying here!
