Perfect honeymoon spot
This is a drive away from town but so worth it! Fickle Hill will forever be an inside joke to us now. The property is just stunning, and Phil and Jeanie’s whimsy is so awe inspiring. Perfect host, clear rules, cozy cabin and a great place to rest. Thank you!

This is the perfect place to spend a quiet and restful trip. When it was hot, we floated in the pond/lake. When it was cool, we lounged in the lovely seating areas around the property. The hosts are top tier. We're already planning our next trip.

Wonderful home, property and nature
Thank you Phil and Jeannie! Prior to our stay, we were in contact with homeowner Phil, who was most gracious with answering questions we had, and later showing us this home, of which he lives about a minute drive away from. This is a remote guest home to stay in, and it is very nice, charmingly and thoughtfully appointed, and has outdoor amenities we appreciated that we have not encountered at other homes. Additional to the home which was well stocked with supplies, modern amenities and rustic charm, the property around the home is well cared for. The homeowners maintained 2 nearby trails, installed and maintained a small swimming pond with boat, floating deck, and even have complete an outdoor bed and bath tub, which can be enjoyed with any interruption free with individual screens. It definitely lives up to the romantic getaway part. My family was happy to get to make use of the home on the cool nights we stayed, got to enjoy the trails, and were grateful to be able to makes use of a fire pit by the pond on two of the chilly evenings. Thank you again, Phil and Jeannie!

Totally Awesome Experience!
Phil and Jeannie are SUCH GREAT FOLKS! They have a little slice of Heaven where we we felt privileged to have the opportunity to experience both the private hilltop cottage with terrific private, clear water swimming pond and numerous special, outdoor amenities we thoroughly enjoyed, including the “nap time” outdoor bed, sundeck on the pond, fire pit, charcoal grill and outdoor dining table with a gorgeous view of the scenery. Just can’t say enough great things about the people, wonderful conversations and exemplary location with outstanding home we stayed in on their property. Superb get away for couples!!!

Beautiful location, interesting guest house
3 adults enjoyed the space for two nights, very comfortable and clean. We did feel a little abandoned in the woods since there was no cell coverage once we were up there and we arrived just before dark. There was no one on the grounds though we spoke to the caretaker as we were on our way from Eureka to the guest house. Once we found the cottage, down a narrow dark wooded road, unpaved but very drivable in our ordinary car, we were fine. We were not tempted by the pond, though I'm sure fans of fresh water lakes would be. WiFi works well so wifi calls worked with our T-Mobile phones.

We had such a wonderful time at this cottage. It is absolutely stunning! I have told all my friends about it. The hosts are amazing and it is so beautifully decorated with an amazing kitchen and the bed is perfect. My husband had one of his best night's sleep there. It is completely off the grid with its own well, pond and it runs on solar energy.

Beautiful location up a steep curvy road and down a steep curvy driveway.
The hosts are very friendly with a European sense of hospitality. There is a lot of art and creativity throughout the guesthouse and on the property. Whimsical and tasteful. Gorgeous evergreen setting with gardens and a pond with a dock-many places to sit, stroll and be quiet. Stretching and yoga poses on the lawn really helped my tight hamstring. Make sure you bring in your own food for a few days before you drive in. It’s 30 minutes to a store. Our hosts gave is a quart of freak milk for coffee in the morning and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us in the house. Lovely experience all around. Definitely visit and say hello to Phil and Jeannie.

Much needed weekend getaway
We had the best time! The property is gorgeous, the cottage is quaint and the hosts Phil & Jeannie are LOVELY!! It was about a 6 hour drive for us, but so well worth it for the time we had to enjoy one another and reconnect (not to mention it was a beautiful drive!) We will definitely be back to visit our new friends in Kneeland!!

We loved our stay here. It’s the real Humboldt experience. It was relaxing and recharging. It’s not for everyone though. It is not close to anything. If you are looking to get away from it all, this place is the capitol of the middle of nowhere. It was the perfect setting for us. Bring groceries and plan of cooking some great meals. The kitchen is fully furnished. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and very private. Phil is a gracious host, making himself as available as you need, while giving you plenty of privacy. PS we love the gnome village.
