This cottage features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, large living room,dining room, full kitchen, laundry room that sleeps 8. It is furnished with a King, Queen, & 4 Twins (2 Sets of Bunk Beds). We offer free WiFi for all your streaming, gaming, &/or conferencing needs.

This cottage is on our 6 acre property tucked in the middle of the beautiful Redwoods with a spacious backyard alongside Prairie Creek filled with all the amenities of home, perfect for relaxing after all your exploring. Feel free to explore our property & enjoy the creeks that run through the back of the property where you can sometimes find the wildlife enjoying, as well.

You will have access to the whole house, back yard & patio area with plenty of patio seating, Redwood picnic table, fire pit, and free firewood. During the fall enjoy our wild berries that encircle our property. Don’t be surprised if you are visited by our Elk!

We are tucked in the middle of the National Redwood Park & close to Fern Canyon, Gold Bluff Beach, Prairie Creek Redwood State Park. Please note: from May 15-September 15th, a day use permit is required for Fern Canyon. It is best to acquire this online prior to your arrival. We are 18 miles south of Trees of Mystery, 20 miles north of Trinidad with so many trails, beaches, & lagoons in-between. We are a great central point in all your adventures while exploring the beautiful North Coastal Redwoods while providing a cozy oasis to rest in-between your adventures.

Gateway to the Redwoods

The cabin was just adorable. Everything was clean and modern and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the dishware, utensils, pots and pans, etc. Fridge was clean. Microwave was new. Everything was spit spot! Bedrooms were very comfortable. We will come back!

Hop (e) Prairie Creek Redwoods

The property was better than the pictures. A nice creek right behind the house with forest. Inside is new, clean, good windows, and best of all, the house is stocked better than many of the rentals we have stayed in. Finally, Prairie Creek Redwoods are so close we came back for lunch and coffee between hikes in the park. Host and other help available if needed. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank You.

Clean and Well Appointed, Right On Hwy 101

Hop(e) Cottage is truly in the heart of the redwoods and we enjoyed staying there for both the convenience and cleanliness. It is just minutes to some of the best hiking in the parks. Once inside, you will find it very clean and thoughtfully appointed with everything you could possibly need (including things that are really appreciated like extra towels, food storage bags and containers, and sharp knives!). The one critique I would offer is that it isn't absolutely clear from the listing that the house is in a small RV park (Heart of the Redwoods Cottages and RV) just a few short yards from Highway 101. There isn't much else around there, so it is probably your best bet when staying in the Orick area, but be prepared to pull into a roadside RV park when you arrive. We weren't prepared, and although we enjoyed our stay, it was a bit of a surprise for us when we got there.

Elk paradise

The cabin was well stocked and maintained. It was comfortable and an awesome location. Two of the three days we were there the elk were just outside our front door. Communication from the host was unbelievably clear and complete. Highly recommended!!
