Summary: great place to stay for a forest theme trip.

Summary: This was an anniversary getaway to the coastal/redwood area. We are somewhat familiar with the area, so welcomed a more remote stay location. This was the one!We were happily welcomed by the property owners and their cute dachshunds, who led the way from their main house to the cottage. We were given the tour with gracious hospitality. Long story shortened, pics do not do this property justice. The cottage was lovely, painstakingly constructed, as well as adorned. If a couple can't get comfy here, i just can't imagine what it would take. Stunning views from every window, from the porch, from the deck which overlooks the pond and fantasy yard surrounding, also to view the sunrise through redwood trees.The kitchen was perfectly adorned, nothing missing. The bathroom is on the main floor, with a tiny house shower. Amazing, is the antique bathtub affording luxury on the side deck! It has privacy curtains...no one anywhere near to need privacy, though.Back inside...everything is updated. Windows are the quality energy efficient type, keeping the house comfy. You'll love the gas wood stove, no real wood to have to haul, yet heats the entire cottage nicely.Go upstairs to the bedroom, with caution. Those stairs are about the most steep I've encountered. Haul yourself up using the handrails...not for the less than physically able. We used a (suppied) battery-op candle on a step for late night potty runs downstairs. Not a problem for us...looked at it as a mini workout.

Summary: This property was better than expected! The communication and hospitality of the hosts was perfect. The property was magical due to all the details we could use: available outdoor bed and bathtub, swim lake with fountain, hiking trails, 2 peacocks visited the cozy cottage. It had all we wanted and more.

Summary: The photos didn't prepare us for how beautiful the property actually is. Phil and Jeannie were so hospitable and helpful; we lacked for nothing. Wish our trip was longer just so we could spend more time enjoying this gem.

Summary: Best kept secret in Humboldt, my partner and I had an incredible time here. I can’t express enough how beautiful the place was and how perfect and magical this place was to find. Will definitely come again!

Summary: We stayed at 5 VRBO's on our recent 3-week trip to various places. This was the best. It is really "off the grid" so to speak. Hard to get to, a long ways from town, windy roads, but once the trek is made, it's very much worth it. If one is committed to TV watching, forget it. There is no TV. But there is WI-FI, but it's rather spotty. However, for my wife and I, this wasn't a drawback, but rather a positive. The hosts are the best, and they live right on the property, so anything you need, you just have to let them know what it is. They go out of their way to please. One thing I will say is that if you're an older couple, there are steep stairs to navigate to the upstairs bedroom. It's a beautiful property in the woods. Would stay here again if we get the chance.

Summary: The photos do not do this place justice. The cottage was perfect, and the artwork added a bit of whimsy. The property was truly breathtaking, and the views from all of the windows were gorgeous. But even beyond that, the hosts are amazing. So glad to have met them. If you’re thinking about a getaway, you truly must experience this place.

Reede S. May 28, 2025 02:15:34 AM

Summary: We stayed for three days in this wonderful cottage. Everything is beautifully done, with thoughtful and creative touches everywhere you turn. You will absolutely love everything about this place!!

Heather H. May 19, 2025 10:09:45 AM

Summary: The drive to the property (at least for the final 2-3 miles) is on a narrow road with potholes, windy roads, blind turns and steep drop offs. This nerve racking drive led us to a property where we were confused at first about exactly where to go, but eventually we did find the cabin. It is a gorgeous setting. The cabin itself is cozy and the bed is at the top of some steep stairs. The bathroom is downstairs so this presents a challenge for use in the pitch black in the middle of the night. We were attending a graduation at CalPoly and spending time with family in Eureka, so we did quite a bit of driving back and forth to the VRBO property. From that perspective it was not convenient. But if you are looking for an “off the grid”, peaceful getaway in a gorgeous setting, the place can’t be beat. They even provided bathrobes, slippers and coffee/half-n-half for us. Wish we could have walked the trails around the property, they looked lovely. Phil was very nice and helpful once we arrived.

Summary: This is a drive away from town but so worth it! Fickle Hill will forever be an inside joke to us now. The property is just stunning, and Phil and Jeanie’s whimsy is so awe inspiring. Perfect host, clear rules, cozy cabin and a great place to rest. Thank you!
