Stunning Property

This place is a true hidden gem. The house was immaculate—spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly inviting. Kate welcomed us so warmly upon arrival that it immediately felt like home. After a long day of travel, it was exactly what we needed. As a thoughtful gesture, she even sent me home with some flowers. We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!

The Boat House was the perfect getaway from the desert heat. Although it’s close to the 101 with easy access to beaches and majesty of the Redwoods, it has a rural feel, quiet and private. Beautiful inside and out. Spotless, super-soft linens and a comfy bed, personal touches everywhere. Kate and Ollie were warm and welcoming, the perfect hosts. Would love to visit again! I highly recommend!

Great get away spot

This place is a studio apartment with a wonderful view of the bay; sunsets are exceptional there. The host is wonderful and very responsive to all communications. Great internet speed, very well stocked kitchen and refrigerator. Access is close to the 101 which makes it easy to get where you want to be. This was our second time staying here and we will definitely be back. Being pet friendly is also a big deal for us.

Boathouse the best

Our stay here could not have been better. The Boathouse was the perfect property for my husband and I. It was quiet , just the right size, stocked with all the right stuff. Kate was a wonderful host and so accommodating. We felt very safe and relaxed. So nice to stay in a reasonably priced home as opposed to a noisy hotel. Easy access to the local area. We highly recommend and will definitely stay the next time we come to town. Great distant view of the bay and so nice to hear the fog horn in the distance.

Great little place to stay!

The studio was clean and well laid out. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with everything you could need. Kate was warm and welcoming and Ollie was a charming little guy. Close (20 minutes)to Headwaters Forest Reserve where we had a beautiful hike through the Redwoods. We loved the walks along the bay (close by) and spectacular sunsets visible from the deck. It’s a short drive to old town with cute shops and 2 real bookstores. The zoo/redwood skywalk is also a short drive. The Boathouse was a perfect place for us to stay and we recommend to anyone visiting Eureka.

A cozy home away from home!

We enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse! This is also our first time using VRBO, literally registered to be able to book the boathouse, it was worth it! The nautical theme gives it great character and makes the space a home, it has all the amenities you need while away on vacation. Kate and her pup Ollie were very welcoming, greeting us as we arrive and took the time to say goodbye as we checked out. They were truly a very important part of what makes our stay memorable. Other bonuses include the sound from the pond feature that made it extra relaxing when we opened the windows and the sunset view being spectacular. The guesthouse is close to the freeway and town proper, a perfect spot for anyone exploring Eureka or Humboldt county. Would definitely recommend this place.

Exceptional Stay at the Boathouse

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Boathouse, and it exceeded all my expectations. The property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The amenities provided were vast, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a seamless, relaxing experience. The location of the Boathouse is ideal, with easy access on and off Hwy 101, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding area. Despite its proximity to the highway, the property was remarkably quiet, providing a peaceful retreat with a beautiful view. Communication with the owner was excellent; they were responsive, friendly, and ensured that all our needs were met. I highly recommend the Boathouse for anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway. A definite return home!
