- **Anonymous**: "Beautiful home and the landscaping was so much fun to enjoy and walk around the yard. Beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again." (5/5)
- **Kathy J.**: "Stayed in this lovely home for an extended weekend while dropping my step-son off at Cal Poly Humboldt. There were only 4 adults - my husband and I shared the master bedroom while our kids each had their own comfortable king sized bed in a room with a view. The location can truly not be beat! So many walking trails right out the front door. The kitchen is well stocked, and during our stay there were plentiful spices, and a selection of herbal teas to wind down after a day by the seaside and forests. We didn't even have time to use the outdoor firepit or the hot tub! We can't wait to return to use more of the amenities and have quality family time." (5/5)
