This is our second stay at this cottage. It's very quiet in location. Our host is a lovely lady and very accommodating. The cottage was clean and stocked with supplies to help if you forget something. There's a small kitchenette and nice bath with shower. The decor is beach appropriate and very stylish. I would highly recommend this cottage to a couple wanting timr away.

Enchantment

It has manageable limitations of space regarding entry and parking. It was a good location for us allowing easy connection to Eureka bike trail system. Modest in size and yet completely functional with comfort. An artistic beauty of furnishings with excellent quality of kitchen and overall amenities.

The Beach House

The beach house is in a quiet location with a beautiful view of the Humbolt Bay. The accommodations are clean, well kept and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and the host provides coffee, tea, waters, sodas and spices. It has the best kitchen of any place that I have stayed. The bathroom is spacious and the host provides all of the toiletries that one may need. The living space is very comfortable, full of natural light and beautiful views. This is the second time we have stayed here and it is the only place that I will stay in the future.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!

The Boat House was the perfect getaway from the desert heat. Although it’s close to the 101 with easy access to beaches and majesty of the Redwoods, it has a rural feel, quiet and private. Beautiful inside and out. Spotless, super-soft linens and a comfy bed, personal touches everywhere. Kate and Ollie were warm and welcoming, the perfect hosts. Would love to visit again! I highly recommend!

Great little place to stay!

The studio was clean and well laid out. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with everything you could need. Kate was warm and welcoming and Ollie was a charming little guy. Close (20 minutes)to Headwaters Forest Reserve where we had a beautiful hike through the Redwoods. We loved the walks along the bay (close by) and spectacular sunsets visible from the deck. It’s a short drive to old town with cute shops and 2 real bookstores. The zoo/redwood skywalk is also a short drive. The Boathouse was a perfect place for us to stay and we recommend to anyone visiting Eureka.

Exceptional Stay at the Boathouse

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Boathouse, and it exceeded all my expectations. The property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The amenities provided were vast, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a seamless, relaxing experience. The location of the Boathouse is ideal, with easy access on and off Hwy 101, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding area. Despite its proximity to the highway, the property was remarkably quiet, providing a peaceful retreat with a beautiful view. Communication with the owner was excellent; they were responsive, friendly, and ensured that all our needs were met. I highly recommend the Boathouse for anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway. A definite return home!

A cozy home away from home!

We enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse! This is also our first time using VRBO, literally registered to be able to book the boathouse, it was worth it! The nautical theme gives it great character and makes the space a home, it has all the amenities you need while away on vacation. Kate and her pup Ollie were very welcoming, greeting us as we arrive and took the time to say goodbye as we checked out. They were truly a very important part of what makes our stay memorable. Other bonuses include the sound from the pond feature that made it extra relaxing when we opened the windows and the sunset view being spectacular. The guesthouse is close to the freeway and town proper, a perfect spot for anyone exploring Eureka or Humboldt county. Would definitely recommend this place.
