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

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location is serene and peaceful, and the house is exceptionally clean and comfortable. We loved the hiking trails and jacuzzi was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. It is a beautiful place to come back to each day and really made our Redwood Coast trip special. We would definitely stay here again.

The rental was clean. It came with some very specific, demanding chores. Plus, time limits on showers. The beds were comfortable. New pillows would be a good addition. We appreciated the flashlight. It is very dark in the forrest at night.

We stayed in the lower-level apartment for a long weekend visit to the Redwoods. We appreciated the spacious kitchen and comfy bedrooms. We struggled to get the heat to work consistently and relied on the user manual and some googling to try and figure it out. The kitchen was well stocked but lacked paper towels which would have been helpful for keeping the space tidy. We did buy some for our stay. Before you go grocery shopping double-check the shelf with the left over items from previous guests. I enjoyed the hot tub!
