I cannot say enough about the Equoni cottage. It was perfect for our family of five. We enjoyed making a home cooked meal in the well stocked kitchen. We ended the night with some star gazing by the fire pit. Never saw so many stars and even saw a few shooting stars! After cramming into hotel beds for a week, it was a great to finally get a good night sleep with each child in their own comfortable bed. It really was a home away from home. Charlene was very responsive to all our questions. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The Equoni cottage was a fantastic hub for exploring the redwoods. The home was very well-equipped, and very clean. It was really nice to have the outdoor space available and access to exploring the creek at the back of the property. The host was great at communicating and very welcoming.
