Although the bridge leading to the property may appear a bit precarious, it is structurally sound, and we were able to cross it without issue in a large vehicle. My senior dogs enjoyed having ample space to explore. It is advisable to apply tick collars a few days prior to your visit. The host was kind enough to provide us with this information before our arrival. We encountered a minor issue with the propane stove, but it was easily resolved by following the instructions. The hot tub was absolutely fantastic and wonderfully warm, and while it lacked jets, it was still perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. It was a truly enjoyable trip, and we would certainly consider returning. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3594236-3827-48e2-8510-704e3fba9794-1755985975517.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tyree M.

We had 7 adults, 2 girls and 3 dogs and the house was more than adequate. The dogs and kids had free range of the property. We really enjoyed just sitting outside and enjoying nature. House and kitchen were well stocked (no microwave or toaster, which caused me to panic a bit, but figured out quite nicely). Art responded quickly to my messages and was always very gracious. This is on the top of our list to return to someday. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f05ef74a-ab0c-4615-89e6-6a08a8ddc8da-1751307806581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7ce8f084-9e12-4ffb-a03d-c06d4191afce-1751307809269.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7c1df0a-1234-45d2-89f3-bb78862255f7-1751307810402.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b42ecd53-3087-4fc4-9799-bb2c6e212f0d-1751307806374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nancy R.

We had a big group, but plenty of seating for everyone if spread out inside and outside. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We brought a waffle iron and small microwave from home, but approved it by the owner first. A few negatives that may be able to be remedied before the next guest. We ran into was a wasp problem near the hammock (7 stings among 3 kids) so it made them gunshy to play on the grass. The bolts hanging the swings seemed a little precarious too. Also, a few of the screens fell off pretty easily that we repaired with what we could find. Those should be fixed more tightly before small children visit. We did see what looked like bear skat on our last day. Definitely remote life, but we loved it! Really enjoyed our stay overall. ##### Liz D.

We all did several hikes around the property (beautiful redwoods and oaks, lots of ferns, moss and mushrooms, and the creek running right by the house). The kitchen is really well equipped: we made several great meals. We had 6 adults and 3 teens, plenty of sleeping space for all. Overall a great spot, I'd be happy to go back again. ##### Geoffrey H.

The property was gorgeous with redwood trees all around it and the house was fully stocked with anything you need kitchen and laundry wise. We swam in the pond and it felt surprisingly clean even though it’s a pond. Long drive in with gravel parts, but fun nonetheless! Lots of activities to do around the house such as frisbee golf, hot tub, rope swing, and hiking trails to name a few! The wifi worked perfectly and you could stream movies on the tv easily.

The hosts were so kind to go check on the property beforehand to make sure it was safe to get to. The property is pretty remote, and on a gorgeous plot of land. It was well stocked, had beds for everyone, as well as 2 common spaces and a stocked kitchen. The hosts were available by text when we had questions and very kind. I definitely hope to return! ##### Sophie S.

My husband had a great time exploring the trails. Am wondering the property. Wish it hadn’t snowed on us though but was beautiful to see. We’d love to return to this property in the summer to see it at a different time. There were 5 of us along with two dogs a still plenty of room a beds. Plus we had company from other family that lives in willits. Would w been nice not to have to lea e at 330am but overall we truly enjoyed our stay. We did have gate problems that when I called Art he fixed right away. So he was very helpful a nice. We did run into a neighbor on the single road after the gate an had a small issue of trying to get around but was an easy fix. Thanks for letting us use your home. We hope to be able to do it when it’s warmer. ##### Heather G. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 2 May 2015 #### If Being Disconnected/Getting Away Is Your Goal.....this is your place! A truly unique and wonderful experience for us at this fantastic home in the redwood belt! Art was both responsive on email and accommodating with requests....and we had our deposit back within days of returning home. The pictures are accurate and our time there supported the reviews below....plenty of room to wander/close to town/as remote as you'll get for the price. So let me help prepare others that are lucky enough to choose to stay here: The last piece of road to get to the property is a little rough/bumpy. Any normal vehicle will be able to negotiate the dips/grooves in the dirt road but if you have a car that is lowered in any way, think twice about bringing it as you might end up scraping. The refrigerator/freezer IS small. Having an ice chest or 2 to store things is a great idea...if not a necessity if you're there with a large group or plan on staying longer than a couple of days. The stove/oven are also small. We brought a couple of our own pans to cook in and only 2 at a time would fit on the burners. I believe the oven is a standard width but not as tall as a standard one. The Weber BBQ on the back porch worked fine for those that need an option. There are warnings on the microwave about using it at all due to it's use of electricity....we just unplugged it for our time there as we didn't need it. We really limited our use of any appliances but the generator still comes a couple times during the day and at night for about 60-90 mins at a time (not sure why since we didn't have anything on at night). The house is well insulated so the noise wasn't a problem...even for those sleeping on the side of the house where the generator was. It can disrupt the quiet when you're outside but that's the price of living off the grid. These are just tips that I think would be helpful to future visitors.....don't get me wrong, this place is AWESOME! We've stayed at plenty of VRBO homes and this is by far the most private/remote...the quiet and tranquility were just what we were after and this place has it in spades (esp since cell service is basically non-existent). So many paths to hike....town is just a 20 minute drive away.....or just chill in the hammock...or hot tub...or watch the turtles hanging out by the pond....or the lizards warming themselves on a rock....or say hi to the super friendly dog that apparently lives on another property and came wandering around one morning. Thanks to Art for making this gem available! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward E. 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Amazing piece of property !!!You’d be a fool not to rent it. Plenty of space inside and outside. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. ##### Edward E.

We felt a million miles away despite the fact that Willits is only about 6 miles down the road. The clarity of the pond (the water is irrigated) was an incredible bonus. My dog would have been in heaven either way but my kids and I loved feeling clean and refreshed after our swims. The yard is amazing with lovely, soft grass and heaps of space. The kitchen is definitely dated but has everything you need. The downstairs bedroom is incredibly comfortable and my teenagers had no complaints about the upstairs beds so I gather they were also comfortable. The whole place has a wonderfully serene feeling and I wish we'd had longer than four days. ##### Virginia P.

If you bring everything you need with you, it's easy to step out of the world for a few lovely days. Hiking trails right out the door, spacious decks for hanging out, 2 disc golf baskets, creek, pond, quiet. All of us were sad to check out and are already talking about a return visit. ##### Jacqui C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ---
