This Rio Dell house was truly a diamond in the rough or should I say, literally in the side of a hill. It offered so much charm within it self and the sunrise views were insanely beautiful. It was well equipped with just about anything you might need. I loved that the “house book” was personalized with specific details about most areas in the house, guiding me through out my stay- aiming to ensure fun, pleasure, and comfort. The owners included things and places they loved in and around the area, specifically their top 10 things to do list. Super beneficial including favorite coffee spots, breakfast and dinner options near by. Owner was also super attentive to my needs - with quick response time. Would love to stay again.
Beautiful sunrise 😍

While we only stayed one day during our travels, this home was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swing was a nice touch on the wrap around porch, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We will be back in we are in the area!

A wonderful hilltop home with a gorgeous view. Words do not do it justice. If you’re ever in these part of the woods, do yourself a favor and stay here. You’ll regret it if you don't.

Fun fulled girls trip

We loved our weekend stay at this property. The views, the peace and the bath tub was worth it. The house was comfortable and everything flowed very easily and amenities were great. Our girls group loved it here as Humboldt State Park in this weather was humbling.
