Property is beautiful and has everything and more a family of 5 needs. We wanted to hike amongst the Redwoods and along the shoreline and we were able to do all this within a short drive. The deck with gas fireplace, grill and hot tub is perfect!

An amazing property that more than exceeded our expectations! The home is spacious and easily accommodated our mixed group of adults and 3 teenage children. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was in good working condition. We also liked it's easy access to the Avenue of the Giants and the kids had fun in the hot tub and at the nearby rock museum and store. I plan on renting the property again in the near future for another family get-together; highly recommend this property.
