Cute little cottage with everything needed for a short stay. Kids had lots of fun seeing the chickens and feeding the alpacas. Campfire kit was perfect. Very short drive from the highway yet feels like it is super secluded. Kids are asking to go back again already. Thanks!
Cottage was perfect 2 night stay for wife and I. Very clean and cozy, Llamas and Chickens outside entry door relatively peaceful. Complimentary eggs, wine and bottled water with equipped kitchen. Good central location for day tripping.
What a lovely little gem this cottage is! Comfy and well stocked; there were even snacks, wine and fresh eggs in the refrigerator when we arrived. I would definitely stay here again!
We loved the cozy cottage it was exactly what we where looking for.This morning we got to enjoy feeding the alpacas before leaving I would highly recommend this cozy little place
This was exactly what we were looking for in a getaway. It’s off the “beaten path” so-to-speak, and it was very cozy and welcoming. Waking up to the alpacas and chickens was a real treat, and the fresh eggs were amazing! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a homey, relaxing getaway.
Great, quiet getaway. Fun to talk to the alpacas and watch the chickens and ducks. Short drive to the redwoods. Owner was very responsive via text when we needed something.
We left a heatwave and came here for a couple days. It was very comfortable and everything we needed in the kitchen was available. The farmhouse vibe sharing space with the llamas and chickens was extra special.
My son and I really enjoyed our stay at that ranch cottage. My son especially enjoyed the alpacas and that may have been his favorite part of our whole vacation! Pam was very helpful and kind and the cottage was clean with every thing we needed, even extras! We will be back next time we come through!
This place is just the cutest! We stayed for only one night as we made our way back home after a long Oregon stay. This was the most relaxing place we could have chosen. The hosts were super easy to communicate with and left us a bunch of water and snacks. My kids were thrilled. Here is the kicker: the animals. Oh my… the cuuuuuuest alpacas and even a nursing baby! We were able to feed them and the chickens/ducks.
The house accommodations felt SO clean and well taken care of by our host. You can tell they love having people spend time here! This place is perfect for a small family with little kids. It’s not huge and is very cozy but for the right family, it’s absolutely perfect!
We will totally be back!
The cottage was just as described. Very cute and clean. A bed in a studio-style room with a fold-out bed for our son. The large bed was comfortable, but the fold out bed was not very comfortable. It was just a frame with very minimal padding, but ok for 1 night. He could have stayed in the mattresses in the loft, but it was rather hot up there. The lower level was comfortable with the fan and windows open. The best part was the animals! They ran to greet us upon arrival and chatted with us the entire time. There are earplugs available if the rooster crows would bother you, but we didn't notice them over the fan. I would definitely stay here again!
I rented this for a couple nights to reward myself for finishing a tough course that lasted 4 months. Anyway, it was peaceful, quiet and the really well- equipped little kitchenette was a real bonus. The heater worked well which was great,, it got really cold for sure overnight. Pam is a responsive, very nice host. Be prepared to recycle what you can and NOT toss any food scraps out etc. Pam provides nice little containers for compost, which goes to her chickens, and recyclables.
I'll keep this sweet location in mind for another visit some day. Fun country setting with the alpacas, geese, chickens right near the cottage.
The small cottage provided all the necessities for a comfortable stay, including the sound of alpacas calling, hens cooing, and ducks quacking! There is a small porch you can sit out and listen to the animal sounds while having a drink. Our son's favorite part was the loft inside. It was perfect for a 4 year year old! There is a stove, oven, microwave, small refrigerator, sink, and dishes were all there. The complimentary home laid eggs were delicious.
The location is pretty great, it's off the road on a quiet street, and a quick drive to Ferndale, Eureka, Arcata, Avenue of the Giants and other neat places to go.
The cottage Was perfect. Everything you need they have there, including the alpacas, the chickens, the roosters the ducks. Location is great for going up and hiking in the redwoods or to the beach or visiting the little towns around. It was the only place we found that would take a cat and we are grateful for that. You can’t go wrong renting this cabin.

Super Cute
Not quite as described. Nice getaway. Great location.
This was the perfect place for us to stay while attending a dog agility trial in Ferndale. It was close by and we had a small kitchen to prepare lunches to take with us and dinner the evenings we did not dine out. The alpacas were a hoot! And a friend dropped by for a glass of wine and impressed us with her knowledge of chicken breeds. The bed was super comfy after a long day of competition running and the hosts provided a nice bottle of wine to celebrate the weekend’s events. Nice neighbors too!
Perfect, relaxing, comfortable everything I needed was provided and some treats that was a very nice hospitable touch! I had amazing contact with Pam & she was pleasant & welcoming.
Thought and care was put into special items for guests. So.e microwave popcorn, firewood for the fire pit, and food for the alpacas. Wonderful to feed and watch the alpacas and the chickens, ducks and geese. The loft would be better for you get children. However my 22 yr old son slept up there, just had to watch his head. Overall we felt a welcome feeling and enjoyed our stay. I have already referred a couple of people.
