Super cute cabin. Perfect for two but loft could accommodate more. Loved the wood burning stove, little back deck and access to the hot tub. Quiet, wooded, comfy and close to Redwoods and highway 101 adventures.

Perfect Cozy Getaway

My partner and I stayed in the cozy cabin, and it was great! It was just the right size for two people. Everything was clean and easy to use. The hot tub was a minute walk from the cabin and was really lovely. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend!

It was a great little spot. But a bit tight for 3 people but great for 2. The main bed was a bit uncomfortable and the bathtub was very slippery.

Love this little cabin!

This is an amazing property. It is very clean and well cared for. The host was welcoming and friendly. It was wonderful to relax in the hot tub surrounded by trees after a long day enjoying the beach and Friday night market in Eureka. A big thank you to Jeff for his hospitality!

rustic experience

We enjoyed our stay. The teenagers loved the loft sleeping area. The property was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was very clean. We would have liked more bath towels,but that's our only complaint. The directions provided by the host were easy to follow. Quick access to nearby town of Arcata and the beach (about 10 to 15 min drive). We would stay here again.

Cute little cabin

Great location. The cabin is next to some other cabins, not sure if they’re rentals, or other people who live on the property. So it wasn’t quite as private as I was anticipating. But over all it was a great place to stay for a few days. It might be a little tricky to find if you arrive after dark.

Pretty good stay for the price

I feel pretty mixed about this property. Cute, clean cabin with the right amount of space for my partner and I. Communication with Jefferey was terse and I was worried the whole time about making a mess or forgetting to complete all of the “standard cleaning tasks” that he asked of us and reviving a fine. That said, beautiful location and

Peaceful Cozy Cabin

We go up to Arcata to visit our daughter who attends the university. We have stayed at a motel, which we were not impressed with; we have stayed at a hotel at the Arcata Plaza, which was nice, but noisy. This cabin, where we were able to stay for the last visit, was nestled in the redwood trees on a quiet property. We really enjoyed the peacefulness. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We purchased wood from the coolest grocery store and the wood burning stove was able to heat the whole cabin. Our favorite part of the stay was enjoying hot coffee on the porch each cool morning. (The coffee was also purchased at the grocery store). We will definitely be coming back!

Cozy Cabin

Great value for the area. Some of the linens were quite well used, but for a quiet get away while we spent most of the day hiking, it was nice. Very cozy, small living area. Did not realize the loft area is really only a bed, accessible by a somewhat steep ladder, very little standing room and doesn't provide privacy. This is sort of a cute feature and I imagine a kid would enjoy the novelty. I used ear plugs and a sleep mask since basically sleeping in same room as my travel partner. I checked out the hot tub nestled in the trees just down a very short path, it was a lovely addition to the trip. Cabin was clean, except some staining to the comforter and bottom of tub, but seemed to be old and not from actual dirt. I appreciate the sustainability efforts from the owner. We had everything we needed. Would stay again.
