About this property

Private and serene new home in the Redwoods of Humboldt County.

Sekoya Sancturary offers a new free standing spilt level home nestled into a serene redwood forest. The home is private, offering a calm and meditative environment, yet close to town. Sekoya Sanctuary is great for a romantic get away or family vacation as we are close to beaches and both state and National forests. The local area offers wonderful farmer’s markets, a multitude of restaurants and endless local beaches. Please ask about pricing for a longer stay if that is of interest.

Lovely place

The entire family just loved the stay at your lovely home! If we’re ever back in the area, we will definitely want to stay there. I have never been in such a cool house like this one. Unlike anywhere we have ever stayed. Everything was so nice and tidy and lots of amenities. Room for all five of us and two dogs. We really, really loved it!!! Magical was a good word for it.

Beautiful peaceful home!

Absolutely loved the home and location! The house was cozy, inviting, and well stocked. The location is beautiful and so peaceful. We loved walking in the trees and sitting on the porch. Elisabeth made the check in and check out process super easy. Our only disappointment was that we were only there for a day.!

Magnificent trees

The redwoods were gorgeous and so close to the house! We arrived from another state. We were expecting a book telling us things likeIs the tap water drinkable? How do we turn on the heat? But there was no info. Or maybe info about recommendations for seeing the trees. We slept well. There were plenty of blankets!!

Great Redwood Hideaway

Beautiful location 20 minutes outside Eureka. View from patio is incredible and great place to chill. Living area furnishings were fine but not too inviting. Much better suited for 4 people. Beds were comfortable. There were plenty of kitchen and bathroom linens and supplies. Host was very responsive.

Sublime Sequoia Sanctuary

We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more! With the goal of our trip being an escape to the redwoods, this was the perfect spot. Plenty comfortable for a 4-head family, and stocked with nice furnishings, appliances, and wares. The host is very sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend. Go stay and enjoy!

Delightful House in the Forest

My wife and I stayed here with another couple. The house is comfortable and everything functions as it should. The kitchen has a nice stove and is well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed a short stroll in the redwood forest outside.

Cozy retreat!

Our family of 5 stayed for one night along a pacific coast roadtrip. Elisabeth thoughtfully prepared the space for our family making our arrival easy. We all loved the quiet and peaceful location. Our youngest (age 8) loved the nook in the living room choosing to sleep in it overnight. The house was well stocked and Elisabeth was a fantastic host during our too short of a stay.

If you are looking to stay near Kneeland

This is a decent house to stay in for up to 4 people. (It will sleep 6 with pullout couch). Well equipped, furniture a little sparse but adequate. Lots of great big bathroom towels which was a nice change. It worked well for what we needed.

Beautiful Location

This little house was in a beautiful location, right in the forest. You can see the trees out of every window and skylight! We liked that this was private and a bit out of town. This was a good home base for seeing the redwoods and beaches both to the north and south. The beds were very cozy and we had everything we needed for our family of 6.

Unforgettably Beautiful Hidden Gem

We enjoyed absolutely everything about our stay. The home had everything we could possibly need & a beautiful view out of each and every window. We spent some time on the back patio & exploring around the property. The excitement we all had over seeing banana slugs was so much fun. Such a gorgeous & serene place. We will definitely return. Elisabeth was quick to communicate to answer my silly questions, perfect host😊

Beautiful Location

A bit difficult to find. Surrounded by trees. Both bedrooms are up stairs. The main bedroom has a bathroom but no shower or tub have to go downstairs. Has a fire stove in living room but it smokes into the house. Only heat source is in the kitchen. Kitchen was nice and had a few supplies for cooking. Very quiet

About the host

Hosted by Elisabeth Olsen

Host profile image
I am originally from Norway. I have now enjoyed over 30 years in Humboldt County, where I raise my kids and run a farm. I love the natural beauty of the forests, rivers and beaches of this area as well as the easy access to high quality food.

Why they chose this property

I love the peace and quiet of this property in the majestic redwood trees. Sekoya Sanctuary offers the feel of rural Humboldt county, yet is located close to town and local activities, restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

This is a private home in the redwood forest. It is a quiet spot to rest and meditate and cook a good meal. I have even heard spotted owls in the forest here.
