Enjoy your next Redwood Coast excursion at Grayland Getaway! Perched alongside the cliffs of the Eel River and nestled in Redwoods, this dog-friendly rental offers guests private views of the river and nearby forests. With close attractions that include Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Avenue of the Giants, and Drury Chaney Trail.

The house features high ceilings that give it a fresh and open feeling. The living areas, kitchen, and dining spaces are very well appointed with all new fixtures, furniture, and appliances, providing the best getaway for a family trip or an adventure with your friends. Gather in the living area and wind down on one of the comfortable couches while planning tomorrow's adventures or playing one of the board games available for your entertainment. Back home and tired after spending the day exploring the area? Don't worry! The six-person, saltwater hot tub has your back - you can find it the garden looking at the backyard Redwood trees and is a fantastic way to end on a relaxing note. The backyard is gorgeous with outdoor seating on the deck or along the bluff overlooking the Eel River and the beautiful landscaping, with a lemon tree, fig tree, as well as blueberry bushes makes you feel right at home.

Stay at Grayland Getaway and enjoy all the coast has to offer. Downtown Rio Dell is a short .7 mile walk and there you'll find plenty of dining options. Scotia Fishery is located one mile south and is the perfect place if you'd like to spend a fun-filled afternoon with the largest freshwater fishery in the north coast. Five miles north, Fortuna has an extensive selection of dining. Even more to see with just a quick drive, Rio Dell is 17 miles south of the Victorian Village of Ferndale and for those nature enthusiasts, you are a mere 20 miles from the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Lastly, you will find the gorgeous beaches in Trinidad, Six Rivers National Forest, hiking trails, biking trails and for a longer jaunt, you are 80 miles from the Redwood National Park and Fern Canyon.

Beautiful stay
We stayed a couple nights so that we had a great landing place after exploring the redwoods for a few days. The home is immaculate and I could sit in the backyard for hours with the gorgeous landscaping! Comfy beds and wonderful to be able to do some laundry!

Wonderful place to take in the redwoods. Secluded yet only 10 minutes away from Fortuna, 15 minutes from Ferndale and 20 minutes from Humboldt Redwoods Visitors Center. The house is perfect.

Quiet, comfortable home
This is a beautiful home — quiet and comfortable nestled on the edge of the Eel River in a great location. Spacious and very clean, this home has the added bonus of a hot tub (and the directions to use and clean were easy to follow). We loved the upstairs media room for a movie night and the hot tub to soothe sore muscles after hiking. We’d definitely choose this home again!

Amazing house!
When we first walked through the door, my husband and I were greeted with the cleanest, nicest-smelling vacation rental we’re ever stayed in. We both thought it was like walking into a staged real estate showing or a model home. Inside and outside both exceeded our expectations, the view from the back yard is incredible! We had a group of 5 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. We liked having the large seating areas and well-appointed kitchen to cook and hang out in. I was also pleased to find a Level 2 EV charger within easy walking distance so we were able to conveniently charge our car during our stay. The only negative part of our experience was with the bed in the master bedroom. It seemed like there was a super-thick memory foam pad on top of the mattress which made it hard to even get into the bed (because it was so high). We had a hard time sleeping due to the foam being so hot and uncomfortable, and both ended up with back and shoulder pain that lasted for a few days after returning home. I would definitely stay at this rental again, but next time I’d try one of the other beds or even try sleeping on the sofa.

A beautiful house!
We totally enjoyed this place! Clean and comfortable house set on a cliff overlooking the Eel River in Rio Del. A small group of tall redwoods tower in the back yard, over a landscaped area with a walk path down to the fence where you can sit in the chairs and gaze down the cliff to the river. We spent a lot of the time in the 4 person hot tub! A lot of extra amenities and did i say clean?

Happy
Very cute, comfortable house. The hot tub was great. We had room for the whole family. There wasn’t A/C but it wasn’t a problem even on the hottest days. The house was well taken care of, nestled on an overlook of the river. The place didn’t disappoint. Rio Del was much smaller than I had thought, with not many options. We stayed for a hike and were able to do that from here just fine. Overall I loved the house and would stay here again, but Rio Del was a bit too small for me, but maybe not for others.

Nice neighborhood with a beautiful back yard
The house was true to the pictures. Comfortable beds and the kitchen was well stocked. Perfect for 3 single people. Needs to have a tv in the living room because the stairs were challenging for one of the guests who is 83 years old. Lighting outside in the front needs improvement. Difficult to see the steps after dark. Overall, the house was very nice and we would definitely stay again.
