The beds are so comfortable , didn't want the get up on the morning. The decor is a little dated in some places but the location and condition of the rental more than makes up for it. The great room is the best place to hang out, the view is so good you just can't believe it every time you look out the giant glass windows. This place is the one you want for the rugged California north coastal experience.

Just finished my second weeklong stay here and everything was absolutely perfect! The cottage is…read morebeautiful, wonderfully decorated (I wish my own place looked so nice) and in such a great location in Arcata. It's just up the street from Wildberries (a gourmet grocery store) and so easy to get to from any location in Arcata/Eureka/McKinleyville. The kitchen has everything you need, and it was so nice to be able to make my own breakfasts every morning. Elly always makes renting the place so easy and I'm delighted to be able to stay there instead of renting a nondescript hotel room. So happy that this lovely cottage exists!

Located in the…read moresmall town of Orick, there aren't many amenities around, but there is a small market and pizza truck across the street that is pretty good. It's close to the Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center and beach. The layout is basically like an upgraded motel. Staff is not always in the lobby but you can reach them by phone. Design is modern. We comfortably fit 5 people in the with one bedroom, another bed in the living room, and a sofa bed. There is microwave and fridge. Would recommend this place!

Such an adorable place to stay, but I wish we had researched food options beforehand. Being a…read moreMonday night and Thanksgiving week, there were no restaurant options within a 20-minute drive.

September 23-25, 2024 - This is the third time we have stayed at this small RV Park. The park is…read morenestled in a wooded setting, surrounded by trees and greenery, providing a relaxing atmosphere. We were able to get one of the sites with a deck that overlooks the pond. Our site had two wooden Adirondack chairs, a small drink table, a picnic table, and a fire pit. There is a trellis fence between each site which provides privacy. The park is located next to Sue-Meg State Park. We walked to the park one morning and hiked the Rim Trail. The short distance to the park made taking our car unnecessary, always a nice bonus. The park is clean and well maintained, and staff are friendly and welcoming. The only negative of this location is that you are right next to US 101, so you do hear a little traffic noise. But you are also next to the ocean, so you also hear the Sea Lions. So take one star off for the traffic noise, but add an additional star for the Sea Lions.

Gold Bluffs Beach and Campground in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a remote beach in northern…read moreHumboldt County. I personally love how secluded this beach is that stretches out for miles. This beach is great for walking along the shoreline and/or enjoying a picnic at. In order to get here you will have to drive on a somewhat twisty road for about 6 miles. It is right next to Fern Canyon so I love visiting both at the same time due to the close proximity to one another. There are unique hikes in Fern Canyon due to the fern-covered walls you can walk through. This is such a beautiful area. I have not used the campground and only visited the beach so I can't speak to the campground aspect of this area. It is very peaceful and serene and a place where you can often spot elk.

Gold Bluffs Beach extends for 10 miles along the Humboldt County coast in Prairie Creek Redwoods…read moreState Park. It requires a day use permit to enter because of the volume of visitors that come here. Mostly because popular Fern Canyon is next to it. Gold Bluffs has a campground with 26 sites. Permits are not required if you have camping reservations. To reach Gold Bluffs Beach, you have to drive on a 6 mile windy dirt road called Davison Rd that you can access near the Elk Meadow picnic area. Trailers are not allowed on Davison Road. Visitors will need to pay the day-use fee, or show their federal pass or CA state park passes at the Gold Bluffs Beach entrance station. You can also hike the 11-mile James Irvine loop trail from Prairie Creek Visitor Center. No permit is required if you are hiking. Gold Bluffs Beach was named after a gold discovery in the 1850's that attracted some interest by miners. If you are going to come here, make sure you check out nearby Fern Canyon. It is a must-see! The 1,200 mile California Coastal Trail runs through Gold Bluffs. After hiking Fern Canyon, I walked over to the coast of Gold Bluff to walk in the water and soak in the sun.

Noise and habitat destruction are not tolerated, sooooooo if you have a big group with kids you want to turn loose to run amuck on bikes and scooters or you want to be up past 10 pm or have music playing this isn't the place for that so don't get bent if you get talked to by staff. It really is a fantastic and beautiful park with wild elk roaming all over and a public beach across the highway!

What a stunning state park! I was headed up to Eureka and had actually never heard of this park…read more(being an Angeleno) when I decided to stop in. There is so much to see and do here! First of all, the scencery is absolutely stunning. It's pretty easy to drive through the park and pop out at scenic spots for a view of the ocean (such as Wedding Rock, so named as a beautiful spot for a wedding). There's also wonderful hiking, including the Rim Trail and the path down to Agate Beach. Also... beachcombing camping learning about the history of the area at the Visitor Center biking nature photography and much more! There is an entrance fee; however, if you avail yourself of the California State Park Library Pass, it's free! Either way, definitely worth a vist.

Spectacular view for a girl from LA…read more I planned a roadtrip to visit all the gloomy coastal cities up north and this park beach truly delivered. It is nothing like the beaches in SoCal which is everything that I wanted to experience. I enjoyed how cool the weather was and the smells of the clean, crisp air. It was just under $10 to visit for the day and we spent about an hour solely taking in the views. Overall, highly recommend if you are in this neck of the woods.

The hot tub is lovely and sort of nestled back in the garden which makes it more private. Fantastic kitchen with everything you need. I wish we would have had some friends to stay up in the loft. I would think it would be a great spot for kiddos too as it is like a secret hideaway with its own deck. Anne is a sweet person to communicate with and super helpful. After having poor communication and lack of follow through with another vacation property owner in town, this was a nice, easy and pleasant experience. We will be back and will recommend to friends. Tip: if you are one to sleep in, bring an eye mask. The sleeping nook gets a lot of sun in the a.m. which is great for early risers like me and not so great for those like my partner that enjoy sleeping in on weekends.
