This cabin is great for staying near the park and trails. It is such a great concept for a small group. It was just 2 of us and we fit perfectly. I love that it's surrounded by nature and the trees. It was a comfortable stay.

The location is absolutely perfect for hiking the redwoods. My husband and I loved how private it felt, and being surrounded by all of the vegetation. The cabin was clean and cozy - but very tiny. The limited counter space was a challenge while preparing food . We really appreciated having a coffee maker and coffee in the cabin! The bedroom was small, with barely enough room to move around the bed, and no where to store clothing aside from a couple of hooks on the wall. We just left all of our clothing in our suitcases, which worked out fine. The bed was comfortable.There's no TV , so make sure to bring a book or something else to keep you occupied in the evening. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay.We had a great breakfast at Historic Hiouchi Cafe. Make sure to take a drive down Howland Hill Rd. We found our favorite trails there, particularly Stout Grove.

This property is idyllic for those wanting to explore the redwood parks nearby or simply enjoy a forest retreat. You wouldn’t know by the peaceful setting that the cabins are just off of hwy 199. Each cabin is new, beautifully rustic and surrounded by redwoods. We loved the well placed hooks in the walls for our hiking gear. Our dog was very comfy and we were delighted with the outdoor picnic table, indoor seating and comfy bed. James was very responsive to all communication and so friendly. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Great place to stay if traveling with a partner/spouse etc. would not recommend for anyone with family as it is fairly small for that. Amazing location for visiting redwoods and coast of California, with short drive to many trails or into town for dinner/shopping/site seeing! Quiet & clean cabin, nice shower and comfortable bed. No TV or WiFi, but for a short stay, this was perfect for us.

Wish we could have stayed longer! Booked this little gem for a 1-night stay during our adventures of driving the California to Oregon Coast. The details for the layout and fitting all the amenities into this small cabin were well thought out! We would 100% recommend and stay again if we are in the area.
