Great Remote Quiet Cabin

Great Cabin, Spacious and Remote enough for a quiet get away. We Enjoyed the deck with an amazing view and sounds of nature, clean and convenient. It was a bit of a drive to the Redwood national park but the great views along the way made the drive Enjoyable.

Oasis above the fog

This was a great house to use as a home base. Far enough out of town to be peaceful, but close enough to run into town. Easy check in, and clean. We will book again next time we are in the Arcata area.

The property is off the beaten track and quiet. Sitting on the deck was a delight. The home is cozy, without having tons of knick knacks in the way. Little extras like laundry detergent, plastic baggies, kitchen towels, etc. made us realize the hosts thought through the visit. Thank you so much for these type details.
