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!

About the host

Hosted by Jesiah Meng

My husband and I both grew up in Mckinleyville and now reside in the Bay Area. We purchased the Fern house so that we can have a place to stay when visiting our family and enjoying the nature near by. We have traveled a lot and prefer to stay in vacation rentals over hotels so we want to provide a safe and comfortable place for people to stay when they visit the beautiful North Coast.

Why they chose this property

This home is special to us as it belonged to our Grandparents. Since we bought the home we have updated the inside and out to make it feel modern but cozy.

What makes this property unique

The home is in a neighborhood but because it is on a gated flag lot, the property feels very private. The home is close to many amenities but still has that private feeling that we love.
