Relaxing forest retreat.
We would absolutely stay at this property again and recommend it to our friends. It is a great location for visiting the redwoods. It is very quiet and completely surrounded by lush, beautiful trees. A few deer visited occasionally.

Great Place
This was a very nice place to stay. Clean, quiet and private. The setting makes you feel like you are far away from everything, but Arcata and Mckinleyville are both less than 10 min from the cabin. Will definitely try to get this cabin the next time we visit Humboldt.

Totally Awesome
We stayed in the upstairs chalet and it was great. It is secluded, has a beautiful view of the woods and the place was immaculate inside and out. The hot tub is set back in the trees and was great in the early morning and incredible at night. I messaged one question to our host during our stay and got an immediate response from him. The chalet is a quick and easy drive to the Arcata Plaza and Cal Poly Humboldt, but is super quiet and feels like you are far off the beaten path. We would love to stay here again.

Not sure I'd stay there again
We stayed on the top floor. It was adequate accommodations but when I got there the wifi password was not correct. I called the guy and left a VM but he never got back with me. We finally asked the nice people downstairs what the password was and they gave it to us. It was NOTHING close to what was in the book. There were only 4 towels for 4 people for 4 nights and with a hot tub, it would have been nice to have had options (especially with no washer or dryer.). The hot tub made our bathing suits really, really stink even after a washing. I was not impressed.

Great location!
We stayed for a few days and spent time throughout the Redwoods. It was the perfect location to see the Avenue of the Giants and the next day travel to Crescent City. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was a great extra too. We had a wonderful trip and highly recommend staying here!

Excellent stay in the redwoods
Stayed in the upper level of the Redwood Retreat for 4 nights withy family as a home base while exploring the coast and the redwoods parks to the north. Great location -felt very remote but easy access to town. Loved the hot tub in the woods. Overall comfortable stay with adequately stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a large dining/game playing table.

Disliked: Amenities
This place was pretty dumpy inside. No communication had us standing outside unable to get in for 45 minutes. Had to buy several basic cooking utensils. Pictures in the ad showed we rented the entire place, but then other renters showed up. No curtains or AC so the house was super hot from 2 to 6pm. Furniture was a joke, so lumpy and falling apart and uncomfortable. The house was cool and the area was great but it is obvious the renter is only concerned with collecting their monies and could care less about your comfort.

Secluded wooded home with hot tub
This rental worked out very well for my husband and I. We very much enjoyed the seclusion. While the hot tub is not especially fancy, it is very peaceful and situated in the woods. There is a system where you can block out times for you to use it privately. I used it every day without running into anyone at all or needing to reserve it. We enjoyed many activities from that location.… Hiking, tide pooling, kayaking. Our best tide pooling was at Patrick’s point. We were delighted to see elephant seals at Vista Point me to go me and beach combing there. We hiked Trillium Falls Trail and the Lady Bird Johnson Grove. We enjoyed the farmers market on Saturday morning in Arcata. We stayed a week and would recommend this stay.
