I have a love/hate relationship with this property. First the good: the location is so perfect! The house is right in the National Park and so convenient to all the hiking trails, beautiful Redwood trees literally a few steps up the trail from the house yard, and the Elk come to graze on the lawn! It's so cool to stand on your own balcony to watch the elk up close and personal while all the other tourists are trying to catch a glimpse from their cars on the side of the road. We felt so privileged! We stayed 9 nights, so had the opportunity to hike many trails and watch the sunset on the beach literally a 5 min drive from the house. We explored as far south as Eureka and north to Crescent City. Staying in the middle of the things we wanted to see and do was perfect. We loved being so close to everything, being immersed in the nature and not crammed into a tiny hotel room. I also have food allergies, so a kitchen while traveling is a necessity. Now the not so good: The water situation at this house is really difficult to manage. I knew about it ahead of time from previous reviews, however, reading and experiencing are 2 different things. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when you will have water or none at all. My son fell into a patch of poison ivy while hiking and we came home to shower it off of him only to have no water at all at a low demand time of day. It comes back fairly quickly, but at the time you're standing there naked and cold and soapy, it's awful. We also experienced a propane leak (?)/odor for our last 2 nights in the double loft which was a huge inconvenience and sleep disruption. I also had zero ability to use my cell phone, neither texts nor calls, even when walking down to the road to get better reception. It is kind of scary sleeping in a new place alone in the woods with your children with zero ability to call for help if something happened during the night. Most of the area has zero cell coverage, so this is not unique to this house, but something to be aware of. The house could also use a deep cleaning. All the high use areas were really clean, but the deep cleaning like corners, baseboards, vents, hard to reach areas had alot of accumulated dust and dirt. All in all, the positives outweigh the negatives, and we would stay here again. If you do stay here, be prepared to rough it a little. If you like luxury travel, then this isn't the place for you.
