This stay was even better than we thought it would be! Cozy yet spacious living room and dining area, all up to date and very well furnished. Can’t beat the proximity to the trails and the elk right down the road!

We loved this place. Its like it was meant to fit right into a redwood forest. The host was great and we had no problems at all during our stay. I stay in a fair amount of airB&B/vrbo type rentals, and this was one of my favorites. Its really nice, but still relaxing to be in it. It fit my family of 6 (4 kids) just right and they loved the bunk beds. We saw elk on the property, and a bear, deer, lots of bords, and sea lions all near by. Also the tide pools were awesone and only a few minutes away. This place was a home run for my family to stay at.

Absolutely adorable home in an amazing location. Super easy to get to the Redwoods. Home was so clean and lovely inside. We would definitely stay here again. There isn’t service in this area, so next time I will remember to take a picture of the check in information. Even that was ok because someone showed up to help. Great experience!

This was the perfect Redwoods vacation spot! The home was in the perfect location for visiting Prairie Creek Park, Golds Bluff Beach, Fern Canyon (my favorite) and many beautiful hiking trails. On our arrival we were greeted by elk just 20ft from the cabin eating blackberries. It was such a treat seeing them right from the back porch and kitchen window! The house had everything you could need. The beds were super comfy, the house was clean and there was a large table for family dinners and game nights. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Redwoods. There are no close places to eat so make sure you stop at a grocery store before arriving. If you do want to go out to eat there are some pretty good places within a half hour drive.

Fantastic place. Most often the place is not as nice as the pictures, but that was not the case. So many little details of comfort were taken care of and you could not ask for a better location. It was so clean and comfortable. Many places that sleep a lot of people don’t have a table to seat everyone or even the right kitchenware to cook for everyone, but this place had both. It was spacious and so nice. We will definitely stay here again if we have a chance to go back to the redwoods.

Redwood Awe

Redwood National & State Parks were on our bucket list and this cabin seemed ideally located for our trip and it was. Easy drives north or south brought us to amazing forest hikes or coastal beach walks. The cabin had exactly the space we needed for visiting family from the San Franscisco region on the weekend. Great memories. Don't usually return to places we been to but this experience may change our minds.

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.

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.
