The house was clean, we loved the big finced in yards and the hot tub. All of the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back in the future.

Lovely house close to the Redwood. Very quiet neighborhood and close to both town and nature. Would definitely stay again!

What a lovely review! Being close to both the Redwoods and town while enjoying a peaceful neighborhood clearly made your stay enjoyable. We’re glad you’d choose to return!
The location of this place was really great, McKinleyville itself had the necessities, the very cute towns of Trinidad and Arcata are within a 10 minute drive, and the epic redwood parks are about an hour drive. Actually, if you want a quick redwood hit, the Arcata community forest is breathtaking and very close. This place was also really great for our dogs, including a fenced spacious yard.

It’s great to hear the property was just right for your family and dogs! A well-equipped house and a wonderful backyard clearly made your three-day stay comfortable and enjoyable.
This was an amazing property to stay. The rooms and kitchen were nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and had everything you could need.The yard is a sanctuary and the hot tub a treat. Great location too, near the Redwoods and some beautiful beaches.

What a glowing review! Between the spotless, well-decorated rooms, fully equipped kitchen, peaceful yard, and relaxing hot tub, it sounds like the property had everything for a perfect stay. Being close to the Redwoods and nearby beaches made it even more special.
We enjoyed the property, yard and hot tub. Central location while visiting the Redwoods. Clean and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

Thanks so much, Tamara! We're glad you had a great stay!
This was a great place to stay. Pictures don't do it justice as I think a few things had been upgraded since the photos were taken. Nice location in McKInelyville and easy to get to everything. Definitely will stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed the convenient location and proximity to all of the local towns and everything the area has to offer with regard to food, art, culture and nature. Safe travels!
This was great for us, a very nice place with room for our family. The hot tub was great when the kids were asleep and it was a short drive to the redwoods zoo and arcata. Recommended.

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the space and amenities. Thank you for being great guests! From the Casago Redwood Coast team.
We had a fantastic time here, our dogs loved the big fenced in yard, and we loved watching them have fun! A nice surprise was a cherry tree in the backyard and blueberries and apples in the front yard. The house is really nice and clean and spacious. The kitchen was perfect, it has everything you need to make meals, with a propane bbq in the backyard. We were really happy and comfortable, thank you for the wonderful experience!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful little home in a great location! Walking distance to one of the best markets ever, and the home, yard, jacuzzi, location ... pretty much everything great. And very responsive and nice hosts. We'll look forward to returning again in the future.

Thank you so much for the great review! We appreciate you coming to visit very much!
We normally stay closer to the beach but I booked late so not many options. This house worked out perfect for 6 of us
Thank you!

Thank you for the kind comments, Stacey! We're glad you enjoyed this gem for what it is and so happy it wasn't too far from the beach from you. 5 minutes to Clam Beach and 10 to Moonstone Beach is not bad for a quaint neighborhood rental. We have many properties directly overlooking the ocean and would be happy to offer a return visitor discount next time!
