Like family being welcomed home
From the moment we booked, we weren't just guests, we were welcomed like family. Serena had my heart when she made sure to discover what we may need and made available accommodations and games/toys for my young children to enjoy. Upon arrival we forgot the exhaustion of travel because we felt the comfort of Home. Everything one would need at home (bedding, towels, kitchenware, clean washer/dryer/detergent, family games) was generously provided as others have described. The back yard had good lighting and the home felt safe and secure. The home and courtyard were beautifully maintained reflecting the host's pride and love of their home. The cleanliness, attention to detail, generosity, and warm welcome from the hosts speak to their kindness and love for people. Serena communicated with me like a sister or a best friend, and her love is what I will remember most about this stay!

A real gem in Humboldt County
Beautifully decorated and appointed property. About 12 minutes away from Arcata. Easy on and off the highway. Very quiet neighborhood. A great location from which to explore the area. Responsive and communicative host. We will be back!

A Beautiful, Comfortable, Completely Furnished Place to Stay
This beautiful home has EVERYTHING one might need for a family vacation. We don't have little kids, but it would be a perfect place to bring them, with games (indoor and out), books, toys, even a portable crib right there ready to use. The kitchen is better equipped than my own! Be sure to check the fridge and cupboards before you go shopping for groceries, there's a lot there! Also, I really appreciated the shelves and luggage stands in the bedrooms. Serena is a wonderful host, providing clear information about check-in and -out procedures, local services, and activities. She is super responsive to questions, too. I didn't expect a welcome packet, but the one she put together was fantastic! The locking driveway gate gave us a sense of security as we came and went. The back patio was a great place to gather rain or shine, and the front porch was a beautiful retreat with a fab view over the valley and the little town of Blue Lake. The three bedrooms provided private space for six adults (or kids), but the fold out couch in the living room seems small for the last 2 adults. Luckily, we only had 7 and that worked out well. Two kids could sleep on it without trouble, but I don't think two adults would be comfortable (at least, not two OLD adults like us). The house is beautifully decorated! It was a pleasure just to spend time there. And there is so much to do in a day's range from Blue Lake, it is a great center point for a Humboldt Vacation. Even if it had rained all week, and we had been stuck inside, we wouldn't have run out of things to do, with all the games and books around. We hope to go back again someday!

Family Visit to The Redwoods
The Blue Lake property was perfect for our family of four. The place has a great and creative vibe about it. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there. We will definitely return to the property again as there is so much to see on the north coast.

Fantastic Stay
It’s simple. Stay here. If you’re looking for a cozy, a little off the path home that has perfect amenities and all your needs, this home is it. The owner, Serena, was exceptionally accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. It was so nice to show up to some welcome gifts and a personalized card (never experienced this with any other owner). She really knew how to make sure that your stay was all you hoped it would be. The house is a perfect distance to all the sites and experiences for Northern California and Humboldt County have to offer. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is a grill for all your outdoor cooking needs. The privacy of the patio area is fantastic for the cool evenings. Bedrooms are exceptionally comfortable as well. My family and I felt very much at home and always looked forward to returning here after a day out in all the surrounding areas. If you are visiting during the summer months, there isn’t any AC in the house, so you’ll need to keep the windows open in the evening to get that cool northern air. Note, you will hear the traffic on the local roads if you leave the windows open throughout the night. If I ever find myself in northern Cali again (I’m from MI), I’ll stay here again without hesitation. Last note, visit Mad River Brewing in Blue Lake during your stay for great brews and food.
