It is cozy and charming and the stairs leading up are a hand built metal/wood masterpiece but may not be suitable for elderly and young children.

We had such a great stay at this home! It has everything you need, is extremely comfortable, and great location. We stayed here for a week while a few of us hiked the Lost Coast trail. The grandparents stayed at the house with the kids while we hiked. The kids LOVED it. The top floor “captains” room was perfect for them. There were also a ton of games for them to play, and they loved looking out the telescope and using the binoculars. They loved the hot tub and the great view. From the house you can also walk to the little coffee shop places or the brewery. The kitchen was fully stocked for everything you need. The TV and living room area was super cozy for movie nights or reading/relaxing. I can’t say enough good things. It was perfect! We came back after a few days on the trail and enjoyed a final night hanging out here. I highly recommend! ##### Jennifer B.

The decor is very tasteful. The whole place was SUPER clean. The only downside was there is no hot tub as listed which was a big bummer. The host was very prompt to respond, and check in was a breeze. I would recommend if you are ok with no hot tub. :) Thank you! ##### Alanna S.
