About this property
Beautiful, Warm & Welcoming-Redwoods, River, Beaches-includes Hot tub
Enjoy a secluded retreat with a hot tub. This contemporary chalet in the Redwoods is bathed in sunlight and is a short stroll to the Mad River and only minutes from HSU and downtown Arcata's local shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and Community Forest.
The Redwood Chalet-downstairs is a hand-crafted, newer home with welcoming covered front porches, custom interior wood work, hardwood and tiled floors, and large windows throughout giving one the feeling of being a part of the surrounding, sun-filled redwood forest. This self-contained 2 bedroom/1 bath (1-4 pers.) includes queen-sized beds, fully equipped kitchen, views & privacy. Also includes big lawn and outside area for badminton, sunbathing, and BBQing. And a HOT TUB. This south facing home is warm, rustic contemporary and welcoming for couples, a family, larger gatherings and anybody seeking solace in a private Redwood Oasis.
(Note: the Redwood Chalet-upstairs---see vrbo #391727--- is separate self-contained rental and includes 2 bedrooms + cozy sleeping loft upstairs (for 1-6 pers.) max. Both can be rented together for group size of no more than 10. To respect the other rentals at our retreat-like, quiet location , we don't allow gatherings larger than 10 persons
*3 night minimum during 3 day weekends and holiday weeks (incl. 4th of July week).HSU Graduation is 4 night min & $275/nt
