We loved our stay. The rental is nicely decorated, spacious, and has everything you need to have a pleasant stay. The rental is affordable and the property owner is on site, which made me and my mom feel more secure about staying somewhere new. Will stay again.

Great stay in the Redwoods
We loved our stay at this home. Perfect location to get to the Redwoods in the north and small quaint towns in the south. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The landlord family lives next door and very welcoming. They shared their lovely backyard with this rental and we were treated to amazing strawberries and blueberries. Thank you.

Fantastic Property in McKinleyville
Loved this property and loved working with the hosts. Perfectly described in the listing and probably even better than described. Clean, well furnished, and if you get a chance to explore the backyard, it is really impressive. Overall, I highly recommend and we hope to be back!!

Clean and cozy
Very clean and well maintained property. It was cozy, but worked for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable and there is a nice backyard to enjoy and seating on the deck, off the living room. A good location for visiting Arcata, beaches, and the redwoods!
