Heart of the Redwoods-Wapiti Cottage

Welcome to our Wapiti (Elk) Cottage, one of three newly renovated cottages available on our property. Come experience our beautiful Northern Coastal Redwoods in this beautiful, cozy cottage filled with all the amenities of home including exceptional cleaning standards.

We are quite literally in the middle of the Redwoods! We are surrounded by our amazing Redwoods, parks, trails, beaches, & wildlife. We are right off the Redwood Highway. You will have access to the whole Cottage as well as the front & back yard. You may also go down to the creek behind the property, be advised it is fishable but no lifeguards are on duty. Feel free to enjoy our whole property. When in season, help yourselves to the many wild berries that encircle our property.

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.

Long weekend with our dogs

The amenities were great. The home was very comfortable. The location was close to everything we wanted to do while we were there. We were well prepared with our own supplies and everything supplied at the home was spotless.

Heart of the Redwoods

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, spacious and all the appliances were like new. The cabin is centrally located and close to both beaches and parks. At one point there was a herd of elk on the property. The host provided great communication and went out of her way to make our visit enjoyable. We’d definitely stay here again.

Cozy cabin amidst the redwood forests

We were four of us who stayed in a 7 person cabin, so it was very comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils and spices, there were board games to play. The place is literally in the heart of the redwood national parks and has an easy access to the hiking trails, the Prairie creek visitor center and the Newton B Drury scenic byway though the road was closed due to fallen trees when we were there. The only downside was the very high bedding in the room, though they had step stools to use.

San Diego family, 4 night stay in early Spring

Perfectly located for exploring the Northern Redwoods for the first time. So many trails and fantastic drives were all very close. The cabin is clean and well furnished, perfect for our family of 5. All 5 beds were very comfortable. Weather was cool, the home was easy to heat, great kitchen and virtual fireplace heater nice touch in the living room. Before our stay, we read an earlier review that mentioned highway noise. After reading this review I was a little concerned, being a light sleeper. I was relieved to discover that road noise was not an issue. Although The cabin is located right off the 101, which is a well trafficked road during the day. Noise from the highway was not noticeable, back bedrooms very quiet, particularly at night when there was very little traffic.

Perfect spot

This is a comfortable three-bedroom home within a 5-minute drive to the ocean and 2 Redwood park visitor centers. Perfect location for our family vacation looking to hike in the parks during the day and relax in a quiet spot in the evenings. In the mornings we were greeted by the resident elk herd lounging in the vicinity of the property. The kitchen is well-equipped with cooking supplies and the home is ready for visitors with coffee and tea, bathroom/shower products, and spare blankets if needed. Communication with the owner was excellent. Wi-fi was terrific, and appreciated along with the large smart tv in the living room so we could stream 2024 summer olympic events. We got lucky finding this gem, conveniently located and cozy!

Amazing Home

The property and location were both great. The house was as advertised with great amenities. Plenty of space for a family of 4. The property owners were outstanding and very helpful providing information about near by must see’s. The wildlife in the area was amazing we saw elk and deer daily.

Fantastic home away from home

Charlene and her husband were our property's managers. They were both incredibly responsive and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The home itself was very comfortable, roomy, clean and location very convenient. The items that were stocked in the house (coffee, paper products, cooking oil, etc.) were more than we expected and this helped us not need to shop the day we got there. The bedrooms were big and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and roomy and the shower was amazing! My wife and I sat next to each other in the side by side recliners each night watching television and they were so great, we are going to buy the same ones for our personal home. All in all, I would highly recommend this property and Charlene the property manager. We would absolutely book again with Charlene and her husband. Great job!
