About this property

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.

    (Note: the Redwood Chalet-upstairs---see vrbo #391727--- is separate self-contained rental and includes 2 bedrooms + cozy sleeping loft upstairs (for 1-6 pers.) max. 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

    *3 night minimum during 3 day weekends and holiday weeks (incl. 4th of July week).HSU Graduation is 4 night min & $275/nt

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.

Beautiful & Peaceful stay- NOT PRIVATE

Great place to stay located near Arcata. Many things to do in reasonable driving distance. My favorite area is the kitchen, with a great large table. Living room area very comfortable! Yard was serene and beautiful like in the pictures. Beds were OK, but they need a bit of updating. The unit as a whole needs some attention. Broken window in kitchen, regular wear noted throughout the unit. Hot tub was very satisfactory after the first night. It was a little cool the first night. Bathroom adequate. I would recommend to bring your own towels. We were given 4 towels for 3 people for 5 night stay. We appreciated the property in all its beauty. However, we did feel somewhat uncomfortable during our stay because the worker seemed to be on the property every morning. The shared laundry area was directly outside our bedroom. We would have preferred a bit more privacy during our visit. While we understand they need to check on the property and work, it seemed invasive during our vacation. We hope this feedback is helpful for future guests and for the host as they continue to offer their space. Make note it is a shared unit and shared hot tub( with sign up sheet) although we had no problems in that aspect as we seemed to have the place to ourselves.

Pleasant but less privacy freshness than hoped for

The location was great and the house was very clean. Not disclosed in the listing was that there are now apparently 4 units potentially sharing the single hot tub but more significantly, the lower floor has windows which open on only 2 of the 4 sides and due to the placement of them it's impossible to get a breeze coming through the house without opening one or both doors but without screen doors even that isn't possible without letting insects fly in. We arrived on a warm day and couldn't get the house cooled off as there was no A/C, ceiling fans or portable fans. We went to another place to sleep the first night and returned the next day with several fans so we could stay the second night. The only other possible issue someone might have is anywhere we went outside was in full view of the people staying upstairs and most of the curtains are so thin they stop little light during the day and are see through at night if you have any inside light on. Host is an apparently very busy person as communications took days and we felt like we were left hanging on a couple important issues but they were ultimately worked out in time.

Beautiful setting. Easy to find and nice accommodations. Didn't use the hot tub but if that's your thing, it's nice to have. Be aware that you have to sign up for a time because it's shared with other people staying on the property. I do wish I had booked the top chalet as the activity of the folks upstairs was pretty loud downstairs and woke us up really early in the morning. It was peaceful though when they weren't around.

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.
