First of all, Ana was a fantastic host and very polite and accommodating! It was easy to contact her before and during our stay. We had a bit of downtime and got to talk with her and check out her geese! You may hear them from time to time, but it was not an issue at all. Her dog is very sweet and friendly as well. The property location is fantastic! Our goal was to see the Redwoods and Sequoias, and check out the coast. It is only a short drive to some nearby trails, and it is equally close to Crescent City and the coastline. After the long mornings and late evenings out, this was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. It is very peaceful and quiet. We were out a lot and had packed our own meals, but Ana had offered the use of the bbq, and there is an electric pan available inside the kitchen. There was a lot to love about our stay here. If I had any critique, it would be that there was some dog hair on the bed sheets. Totally understandable due to owning a dog myself, but still may raise a thought if you are not used to it. As for the property, it is connected to the garage, which is seperate from the main house, only connected by the overhead cover. So you have privacy to rest and relax as you need to. Again, this place was a hidden gem! We would stay again if given the opportunity.
