Great place to stay if you are visiting the redwoods. Convenient to access both the southern and northern parts of the park. Well maintained property with a very approachable host.
Was a great stay in a beautiful home. We had everything we needed in the Cottage to stay comfortable. They even had little tumble weeds for the fire pit. Which I thought was a nice touch to get the fire pit going. We saw elk in the area and signs they had been on the property recently as well. The Sauna did take a very long time to only get to the lower end of a sauna temp 55 degrees Celsius. Wish it would have gotten hotter than that in the two hours we waited to go in. The fire pit was really nice, the wood was a bit wet from all the fog from the day but that wasn't anyone's fault besides mother nature. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely come back the next time we are passing through the area. We got engaged right passed corkscrew tree about .4 miles near a big redwood tree, then sprinkled some native California poppies around it so we will always know which tree it was. It's a day we will never forget and coming here was the cherry on top to unwind for the day. P.S the Pizza place in orick is pretty good
Beautiful property, stayed for one night and enjoyed the firepit while the sun set! Everything was very clean plus all the cooking supplies and spices were there for you. Being on a corner lot made the property feel extra private.
This cottage had everything we needed as a family of four! My son (12) loves to fish and we bought a 30 pole from Walmart... he spent every night fishing the creek behind the cabin. He caught trout back there which was exciting because we are from the midwest. We were also visiting to hike in the redwoods and Fern Canyon. Both were incredible and a short drive. We would absolutely stay here again... in fact this was our favorite place to stay of the entire trip.

So happy you enjoyed your stay so much!! It was a pleasure hosting your family!!
The Equoni house was a great location to access hikes. The house was spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The host did a great job of communicating (like- you will need to get groceries on your way there because there are not restaurants or stores nearby). We did the nearby James Irvine hike and Fern Canyon. Spectacular!
Fantastic cabin!! Would stay again in a heartbeat!We saw elk right outside our cabin every day which was so fun for the whole family.The creek outback had a great spot for cold plunging and we loved it!Close enough to many great spots. We loved the local California Native Wood shop in Orick which was a recommendion from the house guestbook, and Founders Grove was our absolute favorite Redwoods stop hands down. The Sequoia Park Zoo Redwood Skywalk was also among the kids favorite activities.Cozy cabin, very well appointed , comfortable beds, quiet at night and well kept clean property.Thank you for having us!
We only stayed one night as we were passing through on a long road trip. But we wished we could stay longer. This place was cozy, had a great atmosphere and everything we could want. The owners thought of everything to keep their guests comfortable. I can’t imagine a better choice in the area exists.
The host was so great. I highly recoomend this property. We had a family of 5, and it met all of our needs. The host had great information to navigate the area. We saw everything we wanted. It was a wonderful dray.
Everything was perfect with our stay. We were easily able to cook. They have all the basics including spices and oil. They even had laundry detergent. Also we loved how the couch was made up for sleeping in a clean was. Could not say enough good things about this place. One of the best BNB I’ve stayed at.
Fantastic quick response when we had a BBQ issue upon our arrival. Our first night’s dinner was saved thanks to the actions of the on-site staff. We hiked many trails that were never more than 10 minutes from our door. Loved the trails and loved our home.
