This was the cleanest vacation rental ever. It also had an amazing kitchen with everything (and I mean everything) you could possibly need or want. The linens and towels were nice, the back patio was amazing, and the owner was incredible. Communication was top notch and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a nice basket with some treats. We stayed Easter weekend and the holiday touches and decorations were a nice touch.

Family Visit to The Redwoods

The Blue Lake property was perfect for our family of four. The place has a great and creative vibe about it. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there. We will definitely return to the property again as there is so much to see on the north coast.

Perfect stay in beautiful Humboldt County. The house is up on a hillside and the view is absolutely as advertised. Easy access to all the state and national park attractions. The hosts were so communicative and even provided custom hiking recommendations for our family. Would definitely stay again!

Great place!

We just stayed at the property for our son's graduation from Cal Poly Humboldt. From the beginning of the rental process to the end we were pleased with how smooth everything went. Serena was a wonderful, thoughtful host who made every attempt to make our stay perfect. The property was perfect for a relaxing space to celebrate our son's big day. The house had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy our stay! We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet, Spotless and very well appointed. This house is meticulous.

This place is lovely. Seven of us met there for a casual family reunion and it went off without a hitch. The beds are comfy, the appliances are new... as is pretty much everything else! The secluded patio is peaceful and has a welcome artistic vibe. Our host, Serena has thought of every little detail and has a vibrant, friendly personality. We loved our stay!!

Amazing and Beautiful

What a wonderful place. Very clean, homey and comfortable, including the back and front porch areas. It felt secluded, but close to everything we needed. The decor was amazing and bery artsy with the beautiful floor, wood stove, and kitchen-living room area. We came for my daughters wedding. Other family stayed close by at the Blue Lake Casino. We will definitely try to stay here again when we visit again.

perfect!

This home is amazing. Just east of Arcata and nestled just above a quiet little town, this is a perfect retreat after a day of hiking and exploring the Redwoods and the coast. The home is spotless, very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need, including an awesome front porch for sipping coffee in the morning with a view of Blue Lake and the hillside beyond. Serena is an extremely gracious host, and I wish we could have stayed longer. 100% would rent this home again.

A beautiful and cozy home, well-appointed and meticulously maintained in a welcoming community that abounds with natural wonders. The owners pay attention to details that make the difference between a place to sleep and a stay to remember. If you are going to be in the Arcata area (and why wouldn’t you be?) then you can’t go wrong with this one.

Arcata visit

Our family had a fabulous stay in Blue Lake. The home layout is perfect for families; parents on one side, the kitchen and living room in the middle, with two other bedrooms on the opposite side. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. There are indoor games and bag toss to use on the lovely backyard patio. The home is charming inside and out with a lovely view of the valley. Serena could not have been a better host. In preparation for the trip she checked in, answered questions and provided useful information about the area. She was very accessible throughout. This home is missing nothing. This is where we will stay when we return to the area.

Clean and Comfortable - Wonderful stay

Serena was fabulous, communicative, helpful. and SO accommodating for our family trip. To make things easier for us, she set us up with self check in for our late arrival and had a travel crib already set up for our baby to go directly to bed when we finally got off the road. During our visit we kept finding more and more thoughtful touches - sanitized toys for our daughter to play with, a whole library of children's books for bedtime, tasty local coffee & taffy. In addition to the sweet touches, photos didnt do this home justice. The master shower gave me big renovation aspirations for our own home - so nice! The outdoor area was perfect for letting our kid toddle about while we sipped coffee, and we truly got to relax and unwind during our stay here. Truly cannot recommend Serena's place enough - we are already planning our next trip back. Absolutely lovely.

Like family being welcomed home

From the moment we booked, we weren't just guests, we were welcomed like family. Serena had my heart when she made sure to discover what we may need and made available accommodations and games/toys for my young children to enjoy. Upon arrival we forgot the exhaustion of travel because we felt the comfort of Home. Everything one would need at home (bedding, towels, kitchenware, clean washer/dryer/detergent, family games) was generously provided as others have described. The back yard had good lighting and the home felt safe and secure. The home and courtyard were beautifully maintained reflecting the host's pride and love of their home. The cleanliness, attention to detail, generosity, and warm welcome from the hosts speak to their kindness and love for people. Serena communicated with me like a sister or a best friend, and her love is what I will remember most about this stay!

Host with the best eye for detail

Before you even enter the property it is clear that the host, Serena, cares about her guest and goes the extra mile in communicating clearly and warmly. The welcoming nature continued as we stayed in the beautiful home which balances modern, cozy, airy, and home away from home. Serena has an eye for detail that surpasses any other place we have ever stayed. The home is thoughtfully put together, masterfully crafted with custom finishes, and really suits the beautiful view that is seen from the front porch as well as the main living area. It was the perfect place to stay as we explored the redwoods (nicely situated between The Avenue of the Giants as well as other Redwood Parks; we loved Lady Bird Johnson Grove). We only wished we had planned more than the 2 nights we stayed as we headed up the coast, because we could've easily stayed much longer!!! Also, our kids appreciated the little touches just for them (kids books/puzzles/games/chalk)! And as parents, we were thankful for the highchair and playpen that made our lives easier.
