This was a quaint and comfy little cottage in the Redwoods. It was dog-friendly and had everything you needed, including dog bowls. We would definitely stay here again if we visit in the future.

This was such a fun place to stay! We loved seeing the Elk that roam the property and its proximity to all of the beautiful sights this area has to offer. The beds were comfortable and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness

The location is prime if you want to see the Redwoods. Cleanliness could be better.

We had an excellent vacation in the redwoods - and this cabin is right in the heart of the southern end of the redwoods...near Prairie Creek Center. The cabin is tidy and spacious. There are three nice large bedrooms and the kitchen is awesome! Very well-stocked to cook, serve and eat with ease. The washer and dryer were a bonus - since we got dirty on our hikes and beach adventures. The check-in and out were a breeze. As noted, it is not located near any grocery stores or restaurants. Which was fine for us - but plan to stop for groceries well before Orick and plan to drive at least 30 minutes to the nearest town for other supplies if needed. Loved that there is a firepit with chairs, smores supplies and board games. The redwoods and beaches were amazing and we LOVED our time in the area!

Long weekend with our dogs

The amenities were great. The home was very comfortable. The location was close to everything we wanted to do while we were there. We were well prepared with our own supplies and everything supplied at the home was spotless.
