The location of this place was really great, McKinleyville itself had the necessities, the very cute towns of Trinidad and Arcata are within a 10 minute drive, and the epic redwood parks are about an hour drive. Actually, if you want a quick redwood hit, the Arcata community forest is breathtaking and very close. This place was also really great for our dogs, including a fenced spacious yard.

Fabulous home away from, perfect for dogs!

We had a fantastic time here, our dogs loved the big fenced in yard, and we loved watching them have fun! A nice surprise was a cherry tree in the backyard and blueberries and apples in the front yard. The house is really nice and clean and spacious. The kitchen was perfect, it has everything you need to make meals, with a propane bbq in the backyard. We were really happy and comfortable, thank you for the wonderful experience!
