This was my second stay here and it is worth every penny. Serena is the best host and the place is in a beautiful setting. There are so many comfortable places to sit outside and enjoy the natural beauty. There is a babbling stream far below the house. could hear from all tye porches.

Like family being welcomed home

From the moment we booked, we weren't just guests, we were welcomed like family. Serena had my heart when she made sure to discover what we may need and made available accommodations and games/toys for my young children to enjoy. Upon arrival we forgot the exhaustion of travel because we felt the comfort of Home. Everything one would need at home (bedding, towels, kitchenware, clean washer/dryer/detergent, family games) was generously provided as others have described. The back yard had good lighting and the home felt safe and secure. The home and courtyard were beautifully maintained reflecting the host's pride and love of their home. The cleanliness, attention to detail, generosity, and warm welcome from the hosts speak to their kindness and love for people. Serena communicated with me like a sister or a best friend, and her love is what I will remember most about this stay!

Family Visit to The Redwoods

The Blue Lake property was perfect for our family of four. The place has a great and creative vibe about it. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there. We will definitely return to the property again as there is so much to see on the north coast.

Fantastic Stay

It’s simple. Stay here. If you’re looking for a cozy, a little off the path home that has perfect amenities and all your needs, this home is it. The owner, Serena, was exceptionally accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. It was so nice to show up to some welcome gifts and a personalized card (never experienced this with any other owner). She really knew how to make sure that your stay was all you hoped it would be. The house is a perfect distance to all the sites and experiences for Northern California and Humboldt County have to offer. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is a grill for all your outdoor cooking needs. The privacy of the patio area is fantastic for the cool evenings. Bedrooms are exceptionally comfortable as well. My family and I felt very much at home and always looked forward to returning here after a day out in all the surrounding areas. If you are visiting during the summer months, there isn’t any AC in the house, so you’ll need to keep the windows open in the evening to get that cool northern air. Note, you will hear the traffic on the local roads if you leave the windows open throughout the night. If I ever find myself in northern Cali again (I’m from MI), I’ll stay here again without hesitation. Last note, visit Mad River Brewing in Blue Lake during your stay for great brews and food.

Clean and Comfortable - Wonderful stay

Serena was fabulous, communicative, helpful. and SO accommodating for our family trip. To make things easier for us, she set us up with self check in for our late arrival and had a travel crib already set up for our baby to go directly to bed when we finally got off the road. During our visit we kept finding more and more thoughtful touches - sanitized toys for our daughter to play with, a whole library of children's books for bedtime, tasty local coffee & taffy. In addition to the sweet touches, photos didnt do this home justice. The master shower gave me big renovation aspirations for our own home - so nice! The outdoor area was perfect for letting our kid toddle about while we sipped coffee, and we truly got to relax and unwind during our stay here. Truly cannot recommend Serena's place enough - we are already planning our next trip back. Absolutely lovely.

A beautiful and cozy home, well-appointed and meticulously maintained in a welcoming community that abounds with natural wonders. The owners pay attention to details that make the difference between a place to sleep and a stay to remember.

We just stayed at the property for our son's graduation from Cal Poly Humboldt. From the beginning of the rental process to the end we were pleased with how smooth everything went. Serena was a wonderful, thoughtful host who made every attempt to make our stay perfect. The property was perfect for a relaxing space to celebrate our son's big day. The house had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy our stay! We would definitely stay here again!

Arcata visit

Our family had a fabulous stay in Blue Lake. The home layout is perfect for families; parents on one side, the kitchen and living room in the middle, with two other bedrooms on the opposite side. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. There are indoor games and bag toss to use on the lovely backyard patio. The home is charming inside and out with a lovely view of the valley. Serena could not have been a better host. In preparation for the trip she checked in, answered questions and provided useful information about the area. She was very accessible throughout. This home is missing nothing. This is where we will stay when we return to the area.

Host with the best eye for detail

Before you even enter the property it is clear that the host, Serena, cares about her guest and goes the extra mile in communicating clearly and warmly. The welcoming nature continued as we stayed in the beautiful home which balances modern, cozy, airy, and home away from home. Serena has an eye for detail that surpasses any other place we have ever stayed. The home is thoughtfully put together, masterfully crafted with custom finishes, and really suits the beautiful view that is seen from the front porch as well as the main living area. It was the perfect place to stay as we explored the redwoods (nicely situated between The Avenue of the Giants as well as other Redwood Parks; we loved Lady Bird Johnson Grove). We only wished we had planned more than the 2 nights we stayed as we headed up the coast, because we could've easily stayed much longer!!! Also, our kids appreciated the little touches just for them (kids books/puzzles/games/chalk)! And as parents, we were thankful for the highchair and playpen that made our lives easier.

Perfect Thanksgiving weekend

Though small in square feet, this wonderful vacation home was perfect for our family. One side of the great room had 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, perfect for my daughter and her husband, and 8 year old son. The master bath was on the other side so we each had our privacy. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner for 9. There were toys for the visiting 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old, corn hole toss and basketball for the older kids, and even a firepit to keep us warm (we had unusually mild weather and didn't need to use it but it was nice to know it was there). Serena was wonderful in checking in to make sure we knew how to get into the house and to see if we needed anything. Except for a one cup liquid measuring cup I couldn't think of anything that was supplied for us. We're all looking forward to a repeat of this trip.

The home is full of art, from the epoxy floor, burl woods, mural and décor, making it a spectacular living space. The 3 bedrooms made for perfect accommodations for me traveling with my 2 adults sons. We walked into town a night for dinner. Handy freeway access to the beaches and breweries that we came to visit. Serena was a delightful hostess. We felt welcomed and pampered. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and fundamentals, so we were able to stay in and cook some meals. We wanted a get away and this was an absolutely wonderful destination.

Overall excellent rental and experience. 5 stars! I would not hesitate to stay here again. Property/Experience: Gorgeous, newly renovated property with all the amenities needed for a wonderful vacation stay. The place was impeccable: beds comfortable, bathrooms clean and comfortable, lots of space for the family and kids, layout of house flows, all the kitchen appliances and tools needed, ample space on patio with grills and fireplace if needed, a little outdoor garden. What made the stay perfect on top of the nice rental was the personal attention from Serena and the finishing touches of the rental that made you know the owners/manager cared and went out of their way to make sure you had a great vacation. Online experience: Description and pictures are accurate. Easy to book online with quick confirmation. Communication: Easy, direct and quick communication with Serena both by email and text. She was attentive to questions and concerns and guided us along the process from pre-arrival, check-in, making sure we were taken care of during our stay and follow up afterwards. Check-in/out: Easy self check-in. Serena offered to be present to show us around. Instructions for the rental clearly laid out. Check out also a breeze. Location: Very small town Blue Lake with not much to do. Stores and restaurants located 10 min away in Arcata or 20 min away in Eureka- makes for a great relaxing location away from the city. Worked out great for us visiting Redwoods National Park which is 30-40 min drive to lower section of park.
