The cabin with a loft was the perfect size for us. Checknin was easy. We sd the hit tub on the last night. I really liked the property and it's seclusion. Very close to everything but it felt like we were hundreds of miles away in a forest. I will absolutely stay here again.

Cosy cottage which is very peaceful. Internet dropped out in the cottage which was a bit tricky. But he host advised us of better spots to get coverage but we couldn’t get it inside the cottage. Lovely experience.

Perfect Cozy Getaway

My partner and I stayed in the cozy cabin, and it was great! It was just the right size for two people. Everything was clean and easy to use. The hot tub was a minute walk from the cabin and was really lovely. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend!

Nice place

It was a great little spot. But a bit tight for 3 people but great for 2. The main bed was a bit uncomfortable and the bathtub was very slippery.

Love this little cabin!

This is an amazing property. It is very clean and well cared for. The host was welcoming and friendly. It was wonderful to relax in the hot tub surrounded by trees after a long day enjoying the beach and Friday night market in Eureka. A big thank you to Jeff for his hospitality!

rustic experience

We enjoyed our stay. The teenagers loved the loft sleeping area. The property was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was very clean. We would have liked more bath towels,but that's our only complaint. The directions provided by the host were easy to follow. Quick access to nearby town of Arcata and the beach (about 10 to 15 min drive). We would stay here again.

Cozy cabin adorable

Great little cabin in the redwoods. Jeffrey was kind and understanding throughout our stay. We fished almost day and night so we basically slept and showered. Bear claws tub a little difficult to get into but it worked. We would stay again and recommend.

Perfect Redwood Getaway

My friend and I loved the Cozy Cabin! It was the perfect basecamp for Redwood Parks and beach adventures! It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I slept in the main bed downstairs, which was very comfortable, and my friend stayed in the adorable loft, which she loved. The hot tub was a life-saver after our long days of hiking! Overall great experience.
