We added one more night to our stay because of an issue with the next property on our trip. We were not sad we had to stay an extra day in paradise though. The home was so clean and the backyard is so peaceful. Thank you so much for a great experience!Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway in the Redwoods.

We loved our time at this home! It was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and had everything we needed for our trip; from plenty of firewood to a stocked kitchen with all the utensils, pots, and pans. We spent most of our evenings around the fire pit, which was such a peaceful, private, and cozy spot. The owner was very communicative during our stay and our check in and out directions were easy to follow.The location couldn’t have been better, only about 10 minutes from Crescent City and around 30 minutes from Jedediah Smith. The drive through the towering redwoods was breathtaking every single time. They did have some nice outdoor activity equipment and folding chairs available that we did not use this time.This was our elopement and honeymoon, and the two bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for getting ready separately. The weather couldn’t have been better, and we couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing, beautiful place to stay.We will definitely be back and we highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet retreat near the redwoods!
