Beautiful, Warm & Welcoming-Redwoods, River, Beaches-includes Hot tub

Enjoy a secluded retreat with a hot tub. This contemporary chalet in the Redwoods is bathed in sunlight and is a short stroll to the Mad River and only minutes from HSU and downtown Arcata's local shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and Community Forest.

The Redwood Chalet-downstairs is a hand-crafted, newer home with welcoming covered front porches, custom interior wood work, hardwood and tiled floors, and large windows throughout giving one the feeling of being a part of the surrounding, sun-filled redwood forest. This self-contained 2 bedroom/1 bath (1-4 pers.) includes queen-sized beds, fully equipped kitchen, views & privacy. Also includes big lawn and outside area for badminton, sunbathing, and BBQing. And a HOT TUB. This south facing home is warm, rustic contemporary and welcoming for couples, a family, larger gatherings and anybody seeking solace in a private Redwood Oasis.

Both can be rented together for group size of no more than 10. To respect the other rentals at our retreat-like, quiet location , we don't allow gatherings larger than 10 persons

Hot tub in the redwoods?! Hell, yeah!

Beautiful hiking trails near by, literally the perfect location to explore this beautiful part of California. And to have a hot tub nestled in the redwoods to soak after all that exploring, yes!!!And the beds were so cozy. Such a simple pleasure but often these rentals strike out here. These beds and linens were so comfortable.

Nice location!

We were only able to stay for night at this location but really enjoyed the feel. It was very cabin like and could see myself being able to relax relatively easily if we had been here longer. Close enough to the city to get the necessities but far enough away for some R&R.

Lovely House in the Woods

This is a lovely house, secluded and quiet. It is beautifully designed and furnished. Only a 5-7 minute drive to Arcata, yet located in a beautiful forested property. All the basics are provided and the hot tub located a few short steps from the house in a lovely forest is magical. Note: internet and telephone service is spotty.

The woods

Once we got there,(it was a foggy,rainy night), with the guidance of our guardian angel,Lisa, it was delightful! A bit off the beaten path for a couple of nubis to this area, it was a worthwhile adventure. Especially the hot tub after a beautiful run in the Avenue of the Giants event

Secluded but not isolated

The chalet is off the main road and in a forest. Yet it was easy to reach and close to good sights and eateries. The house was clean and nicely furnished. The host's instructions were posted in multiple places and easy to understand. Since the site can host more than one family or group, we weren't alone and we could hear the upstairs family walking around and using the hot tub at night. It's good to be aware that you're sharing the space so it's not entirely private. We had to cut our stay short, and the host was nice to offer a credit on our next stay, which was unexpected. We would recommend the Chalet and will try to come again.

Lovely house and setting

The house is bright and pleasant ~ more than comfortable. The hot tub was lovely. The experience would be enhanced with a little TLC. This house could be better stocked with basics, such as soaps/shampoos, but we had our own. The bed frames are installed backwards and are dangerous to feet/shins as presently configured. Location is fun to drive to and peaceful upon arrival. ..

This is a magical retreat. One feels as if they’re safely esconced deep within the forest while actually just a few minutes’ drive from Arcata, hwy 101, etc. The home is gorgeous, thoughtfully appointed, and meticulously maintained. Redwoods tower above a private outdoor yard on 40+ acres that is located just east of the typical coastal fog zone, and is thus generally sunnier than nearby Arcata. During our mid-Nov stay we played a little badminton, wandered to a nearby creek bed, and spent hours just relaxing in the sun at a picnic table chatting, playing cards, etc. Something special about this place helps to create a deep sense of relaxation. The owners are generally out of sight but live nearby, are friendly and responsive to needs.

Down stairs unit, apartment feel.

Owner on property, and you know it. Lack of curtains in large windows, no curtins in bath room is a bit Creepy... Owner arriving in the AM to rake stones (no sidewalks) and rearrange furniture you have moved. Visible mold in Kitchen lower cabinet, your feet will get wet if you stand at the sink and clean 5 or 6 dishes. Funky old 1 room heater, old plastic box space heaters for bed rooms. Missing smoke detectors. Charges A CLEANING FEE, and asks you to tidy up, it's appears your the cleaning service, window glass smoked with dirt, cobb webbs in corners, nice hot water if wait long enough. Deep cleaning recommended. Will not return. Photo's available, and sent to Vrbo chat team.
