About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious & Comfy, nr Zoo SKYWALK, Garden, Redwoods, Park, & even great 4 HORSES!

*Same day reservation is possible, despite the website not showing availability.*

My furnished house is available for your group of friends, family, or traveling professionals looking for a comfortable place to kick back, with all of the conveniences you need: a fully-equipped kitchen, games & puzzles, piano, washer/dryer, spacious deck and lawn, wood-burning stove, heater, security system, wi-fi internet, bicycles, croquet, horseshoes, and plenty of parking. And… please realize that you will never need air-conditioning in Eureka!

This 2200sq’ home has four bedrooms, plus an office and two living rooms. Sleeping accommodations are a downstairs queen-size bed, with a king, queen, and twin beds upstairs. The den has a daybed and trundle bed. One of the living rooms has two convertible couches as well as room for cots or air mattress. A lot of 'equipment' for children is available upon request. The bathroom downstairs is shower-only and equipped with safety rails. The bathroom upstairs has a clawfoot bathtub. There are steps to get into the house both in the front and back. Please, no smoking or shoes inside the house.

Outside is a large back deck overlooking the backyard and redwood trees, with a deck and smaller side yard as well. The property is nearly fully fenced, but if there are dogs outside, they should be kept in the large and covered shelter (10' x 10').

I am able to communicate on a basic level in American Sign Language (ASL).

Emergency Supplies
We are prepared to keep you safe and warm in case of a power outage. Yup, sometimes it happens. BUT - At the house is a power station to keep the internet on, to charge your personal communication devices, to keep you warm with an electric blanket, and to light up the area at the flick of a switch. No fumbling for matches and candles!
If necessary, we will bring to you a battery powered refrigerator and extra portable power stations to run extra lights and heat if necessary. Having a wood stove is especially wonderful to warm the house!

Eureka is a wonderful place to stay while working in the area or visiting.

Your proximity to everything Humboldt, Trinity, & Del Norte counties have to offer is an advantage to a home-base in Eureka. And this house is a lovely way of being centrally located and close to shops, yet quiet and rural. Did you know Eureka has an old-growth redwood forest in the middle of town? You’d be able to stroll to Sequoia Park & Flower Garden in less than a minute’s walk from your front door. And California’s oldest zoo is right there too! Those otters and red pandas are adorable! Have you ever tried "forest bathing"? The practice is claimed to benefit physical as well is mental health as it help lower heart rate, blood pressure, reduce stress hormone production, boost immunity and mood, and improve overall feelings of well-being. We've got the forests for you! Eureka has a mild climate year-round, so despite the summer heat in nearby communities, 'natural' air conditioning is the only cooling device necessary in our coastal community.

This house and property is well-suited for extra-large gatherings. The initial price is set for a small group with additional people adding to the overall cost. We will set up all rooms and beds for you. Please be specific about how many infants (<1), children (<18), adults, and animals will be on the property. We want everyone to be comfortable!

This property is on the unceded ancestral territory and current home of native Wiyot people.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a fitness center or take in the view from a garden. Additional features at this vacation home include an arcade/game room and bike parking.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Missed the earthquake
Centrally located and within walking distance to the zoo. We contributed to Eureka’s economy, went to some beautiful beaches and an art gallery. Left before the earthquake, thank goodness. Nice large house with many rooms. Lots of kitchenware. Felt very safe. Beautiful redwoods all around. Had a good time.

Enjoyed our stay! We had a party of 7 and the house has a lot of room, comfortable beds, every thing you would need from extra pillows, blankets to games, kitchen supplies and many brochures for things to do any the area. Host was very responsive. The Zoo was not only fun but is right around the corner! The house is near restaurants and the waterfront. Would stay again!!

The house was adequate for our 15 party family other than one shower in the house. It was cute. We were there for the Redwoods so we didn’t spend a lot of time at the house other than to sleep and eat. The beds were comfortable. The host extremely responsive.

We were traveling with three little ones. The location was fabulous as there was a playground and zoo/park around the corner. Margo has a huge collection of equipment and games for kids on hand. Our littles loved the trampoline! Margo is the most responsive host we've ever stayed with. We were very comfortable.

We loved our stay at Hollys house. She was available when we locked ourselves out, oops. She even picked flowers on the property & put in Vase on outside tables for our graduation party. She was very kind. We had everything we needed here. Her lovely home allowed us all to stay together, comfortably, including my little 14mo grand baby.

Wonderful house in quiet Eureka neighborhood!
We all so enjoyed our stay here! We needed a house for our family to gather that could accommodate all of us for a family event nearby. Holly was a wonderful host and made our stay so very pleasant from the start. The directions to the property were clear, and everything we needed was provided. When the sun came out, it was lovely sitting on the front porch or on the back deck. There is a huge window over the kitchen sink that looks out at some gorgeous towering Redwood trees. There is a large dining table with plenty of chairs for gathering for family meals, and the full size washer and dryer were super nice to have. The house itself is old and quirky; but the charm and surprises around every corner are fun. You will be very comfortable here, as we were. Anyone want to sit in another quiet space away from the group? There’s a place for you! Some of us went to the zoo and the Sky Walk, which was a quick walk just around the corner. We would definitely rent this house again! One other thing to note is that there were some negative reviews about the fact that the house is across the street from an elementary school and that drop-off and pick-up times were noisy. Not so. First of all, there’s a huge hedge blocking the house from road view, and secondly there really isn’t much road noise at all to speak of. Thank you, Holly!

Avenue of the Giants Marathon
Members of our Santa Barbara running Tribe traveled to Eureka for this race. Rather than stay in hotels, I reserved this property on a whim and it was the best decision! Plenty of room for us to gather, cook, eat, play games and enjoy each other’s company. The proximity to Sequoia Park was a pleasant surprise too! Many in our group said it felt like we were staying in grandma’s house - a bit rustic and nostalgic, but comfortable. Communication was great with the host - we wanted for nothing during our stay. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

What a treat! There are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a nice bedroom and bath downstairs. The kitchen is beautifully stocked. The house is very roomy and very comfortable. We were there over Christmas and the owner very thoughtfully put up a tree and left decorations! In addition, communication with the owner is outstanding. She answered every email within 15-30 minutes. We loved the house, the owner is very easy to communicate with and we highly recommend the property.

AVOID! - Rundown Home with Piles of Trash Around, and Obnoxious POC/Owner.
I have been working with a crew from out of town here for the past 6 months. I have rented over 20 homes during our stay here through VRBO. This owner/host has been miserable to interact with. Every other rental has been grateful for our business, done everything they can to be accommodating and have only said kind things about our stays and treatment of their homes. In fact, a few volunteered to go out of their way to find additional accommodations for me and my crew on their properties. This owner has complained every step of the way and has unnecessarily made remedial transaction tedious, difficult and annoying. A faucet handle broke the first day. I reported it. She complained and implied it was our fault. It was not. It took two weeks to get fully replaced. There was regulars construction happening on the adjoining house. All scheduled on the weekends when my crew was trying to relax on the property. The owner scheduled visits to inside the home during our stay disrupting our privacy The property is a run down old house with little upkeep. There are piles of trash stacked up beside the house. The owner would not let us control the thermostat so the temperature was never comfortable in the home. There is a neighbor, intimately close, that shares a driveway and is the primary view from several windows. There is regular noise and traffic that disrupted us at all hours. There is a young man who regularly (everyday) was in the backyard screaming loudly for long periods. The yard was never maintained. There was an individual who would regularly be doing some maintenance, but would not pick up hedge clippings or completely mow the yard. I had to mow the yard myself a couple times with a hand rotary mower, so the yard could be remotely enjoyable to be in. There was no outdoor privacy on the property. People were constantly walking through our private spaces. The owner was obnoxious! I have over 40 texts and VRBO messages from her complaining about things that had nothing to do with us or was not in the rental agreement. She was regularly on the property (everyday) snooping on us and sorting garbage piles and making a lot of noise. We only stayed here because it was close to the Zoo where we were working. I would never stay in this unsatisfactory home again and hope I never have to interact with the owner again. I have never left a negative review, but this owner left me no choice. Avoid at all costs!

We brought the entire family for a quick visit to Eureka. We need to find a long term residence and started here as a home base. Turns out, this place is so fantastic for our extended family and dog that we will be staying much longer. We cannot Imagine finding a better house in a better location with a better host.
