Private and spacious

We stayedhere for a our family reunion. There was ample accommodations and location afforded privacy and backroad access to favorite beach, river, and hiking adventures. Plenty of kitchen space, nice gas stove and all appliances, horse shores, fire pit, and barbecue to enhance our family meals. Beds comfortable though the king could use a memory foam topper, a bit hard. Would stay again.

Fantastic Home!

We really felt at home here! The house was clean and the beds were so comfortable. We were able to bring our two small dogs as well. Mark was a great host and provided a list of information about the area- where to find cheaper gas and where to spot some Elk! Thank you, Mark for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be coming back.

Spacious and Comfortable

We found this quiet house in the woods to be a good fit for our family. We saw wild turkeys in the yard one day. The grandkids enjoyed the backyard with a swing set. We all enjoyed the easy access to wondrous redwood forests, and beautiful river and ocean beaches.

Great place!

We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the large living room and kitchen. We spent a lot of time in the backyard around the fire pit and playing horseshoes. It was a great stay! I agree with a previous review that the carpet is due for a deep cleaning. I would definitely stay here again. This is the second time we have enjoyed this property.

Family vacation

The property and house are nicely situated and nicely laid out for a family stay. The kids loved playing outside and having s’mores in the fire pit the downside was the cleanliness of the house. It was apparent that some of the portions of the house had not been cleaned in quite a while, there were no extra trash bags and the exterior of the house was a spider haven.

Comfortable, spacious, needs attention to detail

Well furnished kitchen, great spacious common areas, comfortable beds, fantastic water pressure for showers, central location for visiting the Redwoods & lighthouse & tide pools (is near the max prison). When we arrived, bunk beds weren’t made and full bath in garage wasn’t clean. We had to wash linens and make bed not knowing what was clean and what wasn’t. Mark called quickly when we left a message.

Great Family House!

Our family of 7 stayed here and it was such a great space! The kids loved the yard and Treehouse. I'd say its a 4.5 star stay for us-- there were just a few minor hiccups: First, the top bunk wasn't made when we arrived (at night), so we had to make it ourselves before putting our kids to bed. Second, the microwave was really dirty, and I had to clean that out before use. We really could have used more access to both paper towels and dish cloths. And the tv setup is very complicated-- I think I counted 6 separate remotes, and only a couple had batteries, so we had to switch them between remotes. None of these things are deal breakers by any means, but they do deserve mention. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay for our family! Plenty of space for us all, and we especially liked the oversized shower and tub in the master bathroom. It is in such a beautiful, peaceful and quiet location!

Redwoods reconnect

We've been visiting CC and staying in vacation rentals since the late 1970s. Probably rented 40 or more properties over the years. Cabin in Gasquet, trailer homes and houses along South Bank Rd, in town and along pebble beach, even by the beach along the Tolowa Dunes. This latest rental in Ft Dick was the cleanest, best equipped of all. It was like home away from home only right in the middle of a forrest. If you're looking for a more rustic feel, or a great view when you look out the window, there's no sweeping beaches, lighthouses, river rushing by, but it is very comfortable and a great place for a base of operations especially if you had kids or two parties who like being together but also some privacy. We never rented in the Ft Dick area before because of it's proximity to the prison, but that was really not an issue. Bottom line, if you have a larger group or a lotta kids, you won't find a place much better. 5 ⭐

Nice vacation home

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It is located close to Redwoods National Park, and the beach which was great for our large group. The home was clean and welcoming. The kitchen had everything you’d need to cook at home and a large living room for everyone to enjoy time together. We would definitely stay there if we were in the area in the future. The large covered patio was a delightful place to enjoy some coffee while enjoying the redwoods and birds. It truly was great. A couple of small things: We did not understand that the garage space was a literal garage with mattresses stacked along a wall that you could make up yourself to sleep on, but that was ok. Also, there was no shampoo, conditioner or paper towels, easily fixed by the near by Walmart. Again no big deal, but just wanted to save the next group an extra store trip.

Property was beautiful. Everything was really nice. The house was very clean and about everything you could possibly need for your stay and the location was great. There was plenty to do from the redwoods to the ocean and the owner was very responsive and helped out and gave many tips for a great restaurant and places to go

The house is right off the highway for easy access to the redwood forests and the beaches. We found fantastic trails in the state park less than 30 minutes away, and a great beach for exploring tide pools only 10 minutes from the house. Our family of 8 (3 generations) was very comfortable here. The rooms are all large and nicely equipped. The master suite is especially spacious with a huge bathroom. The kitchen has a gas range and all the appliances and dishes you need to make a family meal. We loved making s’mores at the outdoor fire pit. We really loved living in the quiet forest while still being only a few miles from supermarkets and WalMart.

Amazing stay

We stayed at the house with kids raging from 20 months - 8 years old. The house was perfect. The outdoor swing set was a huge hit and and the space is warm and welcoming. Plenty to do for everyone and they had kid plates, silver ware, cups and a crib & pack & play. Also, lots of tames and books. The owners were very kind and sent us a list of fun things to check out while visiting. I would highly recommend this house. Thanks you for a wonderful stay!
