Enjoy some fun in the garage with a pool table that also converts into a ping pong table.

*Please Note: The owners of Pelican's Nest have their own private retreat below the property. They like to think of it as their "Writer's Workshop". Since they live in nearby Arcata, they occasionally retreat to their workshop during the day but will not bother you during your vacation.

Was a beautiful property that literally had everything, and then some! Very light and bright property, that was an open floor plan allowing you to walk throughout the hose without having to retrace your steps! Incredible views and very responsive hosts and will definitely be back. Absolutely awesome property!
