"Hidden gem, nestled in redwood country. It doesn’t look it fro the outside but this was a cool hotel to stay the night during my travels south from the PNW. "

"Wonderful, helpful staff. A pleasure to stay there."

"It was lovely. Wish we would have been able to use the fireplace outside but weather was so cold. Place is super quiet and clean. I recommend it."

"We had a nice stay at this Vrbo. Great place to get right on the Avenue of the Giants, which is a beautiful drive. The house had what we needed. There is a small grocery store nearby which can give you all the basics. Beds were comfortable and I appreciated there were plenty of towels in the bathroom. On the down side, the road (driveway?) next to the property looks like the local dump. Lots of abandoned cars and junk. The property is a great place for kids to explore nature. But it’s on a hilltop so you need to be able to manage hills if you want to join them! We didn’t have the greatest weather so we couldn’t use the fire pit like we would have liked to. "

"Affordable accommodations that are clean, and a great stop off for a night or 2. Staff waited up for me to arrive pretty late. Would come here again. "

"This was our second time staying at Brenda & Butch's gorgeous cabin perched above the South Fork Eel river. Previously we visited during the summer and staying for the New Years holiday was a drastically different but equally amazing experience! It had rained for days prior and the river was absolutely huge and such a sight to see, each day after the rain stopped we loved watching the river recede and expose rocks, trees and shoreline. We went on some beautiful hikes around the property finding mushrooms (lions mane!), signs of pigs, deer and other wildlife. It was so cozy in the cabin with the wood stove and sound of rain on the roof, just absolute heaven and the perfect place to get away from it all. Once again, my favorite aspect was no cell service and no wifi...in this day of constant connection being removed from it is truly the best vacation of all! Cannot recommend this cabin enough, the hosts are so gracious, warm and welcoming...we can't wait to come back!"

"It was a very nice experience! Thanks!"

"My husband and I live in Fortuna, about 35 miles north of this cottage. We wanted a getaway close by because we only have one day off together a week but we wanted a nice, romantic place to celebrate our four year wedding anniversary. The Cottage was affordable and very pretty in the pictures and I would have been so happy with the basics but the host went above and beyond filling the place with amenities and details to make the stay amazing. There was really good quality coffee, tea and everything you need, a fully stocked kitchen so no need to bring anything pots or pans or anything like that.there was even picnic dishes to take to the picnic area and a blender, veggie slicer and all that. There was even food in the cabinets and freezer. We brought our own but I just thought it was so nice of the host to include. Also wifi, Netflix, an electric fireplace in the tv stand, there are two balconies with pretty lights. My husband and I had a lovely dinner under the stars and redwoods at the patio table on the deck! I'm already planning on booking again when my parents come to visit, I know my mom will be obsessed with the decor like I am. This was my first time using VRBO and I was super impressed! I highly recommend this place!Also the host was helpful and gave stellar directions, GPS isn't very reliable as the cell service is spotty on the drive BUT I had full service at the property!"
