This cottage was perfect for a couples staycation. The sound of the creek was so melodic and soothing. Being close to the redwoods was very calming plus the cabin was so spacious for 2 people!

Parking was easy, right in front. The host checked in but was not intrusive (they live right behind). The room was clean, the kitchen was complete including food you might forget (plus what was left by the last folks). Note that there are no grocery or drug stores nearby, so come prepared

Lovely Stay

I stayed overnight for some peaceful alone time at this property. House was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The little stream and forest outside added to the cozy cabin feel. Despite a local power outage, the owners provided generator power and were very accommodating. I will definitely stay again!
