A picture is worth a thousand words!

This property surpassed our expectations. We are first time users of VRBO and are sold on the accuracy of the description of the property and the neighborhood was quiet and very clean/tidy. We felt so at home here and look forward to visiting again from Canada. Awesome local restaurant The Green Barn. Thank you for making our vacation so enjoyable. We can’t recommend this property enough especially with the wonderful and spacious backyard. Thank you!

Beautiful spot in an amazing location

We had such a lovely time staying at this cabin! My dog and I stayed over the weekend, and friends joined me for a few days afterwards. We just felt so easy hanging out there, and I always felt safe walking around the community by myself. We also experienced all the kinds of weather this area has to offer and the cabin was great to be in for all of it. Random side note: I have to say this is the first time I have enjoyed the house coffee at a rental! Being able to walk to nearby amenities or drive up north or south for adventures was awesome. We were also able to patronize local businesses, and everybody we met in this neighborhood was just lovely. Lots of thoughtful touches like the dirty dog towels and USB points in the kitchen. Easy check in and great communication from the host folks. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful time. The house was clean and spacious. Kitchen had all you could need to cook your food and even had a full spice rack. The beds were comfy. The yard was large and had lots of seating. My son loved that there was a jacuzzi. Best of all: location is perfect. Chris was awesome and responded to any questions we had. Can’t wait to visit again.

Perfect location!

We loved staying in this home! The hot tub was the perfect size for 3 adults and 2 kids. Our kids enjoyed watching the koi fish and running around the yard. The landscaping was beautiful and well kept and the grill was very nice to have. The location is perfect. We were able to adventure in Klamath, Trinidad, Arcata and Eureka quite easily. There is a natural grocery store just down the street and a Safeway within walking distance. The manager is very responsive via text and checked in to make sure we had all we needed. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are planning a Northern California trip.
