Redwoods Trip
This home was perfect for our trip. The fern theme was adorable and the yard gorgeous. We were very grateful that there were extra towels provided since we had no space to pack them but looking forward to spending some time at the beach. The coffee and tea bar was great and so convenient. Wish we could've stayed for longer!

Cute house in McKinleyville
My family took a road trip to see the redwoods. This house in McKinleyville was the perfect place to rest. The house was clean, comfortable and suited our families needs perfectly. The host was quick to respond with questions that we had and we were very happy with our stay.

Lovely home in a convenient location
Our family (2 adults, 3 kids) had a fantastic stay at the Fern House. The house was spotlessly clean, well stocked with all the essentials and several bonuses, and the location allowed us to explore all around Humboldt County and Redwoods State and National Parks easily. The tide pools at Sue-Meg State Park were a favorite of our kids (10y, 12y, 14y). We all loved Fern Canyon and Clintonia Trail in the Gold Bluffs Beach area. Sunset just up the road at Clam Beach County Park was amazing and easy to access. At Fern House, we loved the coffee station, the small cooler provided for day trips, and the gorgeous porch and gardens. The two living rooms made it easy for everyone to have enough space to spread out and unwind after long days of exploring. The front porch was fantastic for enjoying a drink in the evening or putting on shoes to head out in the morning. We also had a great time finding the tiny frogs (and not so tiny slugs!) throughout the garden in the early mornings and evenings. The hosts were easy to contact and responded very quickly to our few questions during our stay. Check in and check out were both simple and well communicated. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return to the Fern House!

Perfect home for the family. Was enough room to spread out when we were all at the home. Clean, and close to Arcata airport.

Family friendly stay close to hikes and town!
We absolutely loved our family getaway at the Fern House! This home is a perfect location if you love hiking in the redwoods and going to the beach, and still within 10 minutes of town to shop and eat! We loved Lady bird Johnson trail, Fern Canyon, the Big Foot shop and Land of the Giants! This home was super family friendly from the rooms to backyard, and kitchen which makes it easier traveling with kiddos! Some of our favorite parts of the home were the coffee bar, and we loved cozying up around the fire pit at the end of the night. Super easy checkin/ out process, the hosts are very responsive. We will be returning!
