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.
We had a great time in this home. Dropping freshman daughter off at Humboldt University. Amazing place you guys have and whenever I visit, I’ll use this place as well as recommend it to others.
I loved being in the woods with beautiful trees all around us. The cabin has lots of big windows so you can sit and enjoy the view.
It has the essentials for a great stay.
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.
This chalet was absolutely adorable! It had everything we needed to be comfortable. We would stay here 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.
If you enjoy being surrounded by trees this is the place. Beautiful and clean house. Road is a little tricky by if your follow the directions sent by the owner you would be just fine.
Beautiful cozy cabin in an even more beautiful location. We LOVED staying here.
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!
It was wonderful they had so many times to do
The house was a welcoming and cozy place to stay close to the redwoods that was a great jumping off place for exploring. The house was clean and perfect for a family of 3.
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.
One of the best locations I've rented
The property was very clean and cozy. It also provided the BBQ place and a hot tub, right in the midst of the Redwood forest. My family enjoyed our stay here greatly, and we will definitely return. Highly recommend!
The house had everything we needed for our stay. We really enjoyed the hot tub too!
This property was beautifully hidden away. Easy access to highways. Amazing location. Definitely a Redwood experience to have, with the added hidden amongst the trees hot tub. So relaxing and calming. Had great communication with owner, and enjoyed the property a great deal.
We enjoyed the beautiful handcrafted home and property. High ceiling and big windows let in wonderful light. Beds were nice. The jacuzzi was delightful and situated amongst the trees a short walk from our door; very private. Badminton was fun for children and adults. We’ll be back!
Comfortable and clean. Nice location not far from beaches and big trees
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.
We had a great time! Sleeping was great, beds comfortable and so quiet. We saw deer in the front yard, which was fun. Close to everything. Would rent again if we get back up to Arcata. Highly recommend. Be sure and call Lisa she a great massage therapist. My husband went to her 11/2 he massage and he said it was great.
The home is nicely situated in the forest. We were in the top unit with two bedrooms and a loft. There is a second rental on the bottom floor as stated in the rental description. We enjoyed the hot tub and watching a visit from a red fox early one morning.
It was a great spot for me and my family to stay during our visit to see my family and friends.
