About this property

Beautiful, Warm & Welcoming-Redwoods, River, Beaches-includes Hot tub

Enjoy a secluded retreat with a hot tub. This contemporary chalet in the Redwoods is bathed in sunlight and is a short stroll to the Mad River and only minutes from HSU and downtown Arcata's local shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and Community Forest.

The Redwood Chalet-downstairs is a hand-crafted, newer home with welcoming covered front porches, custom interior wood work, hardwood and tiled floors, and large windows throughout giving one the feeling of being a part of the surrounding, sun-filled redwood forest. This self-contained 2 bedroom/1 bath (1-4 pers.) includes queen-sized beds, fully equipped kitchen, views & privacy. Also includes big lawn and outside area for badminton, sunbathing, and BBQing. And a HOT TUB. This south facing home is warm, rustic contemporary and welcoming for couples, a family, larger gatherings and anybody seeking solace in a private Redwood Oasis.

(Note: the Redwood Chalet-upstairs---see vrbo #391727--- is separate self-contained rental and includes 2 bedrooms + cozy sleeping loft upstairs (for 1-6 pers.) max. Both can be rented together for group size of no more than 10. To respect the other rentals at our retreat-like, quiet location , we don't allow gatherings larger than 10 persons

*3 night minimum during 3 day weekends and holiday weeks (incl. 4th of July week).HSU Graduation is 4 night min & $275/nt

Beautiful setting. Easy to find and nice accommodations. Didn't use the hot tub but if that's your thing, it's nice to have. Be aware that you have to sign up for a time because it's shared with other people staying on the property. I do wish I had booked the top chalet as the activity of the folks upstairs was pretty loud downstairs and woke us up really early in the morning. It was peaceful though when they weren't around.

Hot tub in the redwoods?! Hell, yeah!

Beautiful hiking trails near by, literally the perfect location to explore this beautiful part of California. And to have a hot tub nestled in the redwoods to soak after all that exploring, yes!!!And the beds were so cozy. Such a simple pleasure but often these rentals strike out here. These beds and linens were so comfortable.

Overall, everything was amazing! Jeffrey was very pleasant and the accomodations were cozy yet spacious. The jacuzzi in the woods was the best part. It was great to soak amongst the trees and literally just up the little hill to the house. We knew going in that there were going to be people upstairs, it didn't really bother us but we were aware of them. The house is an amazing dark wood, inside and out, which can lead to some creaking. That's just what happens in the forest. It Would Not prevent us from staying again! Great location. Quiet forest setting with all the luxury of a fully functional home. Did I mention the jacuzzi!?!

Nice location!

We were only able to stay for night at this location but really enjoyed the feel. It was very cabin like and could see myself being able to relax relatively easily if we had been here longer. Close enough to the city to get the necessities but far enough away for some R&R.
