The Fern House is a very beautiful, clean and cozy home. It was our home base to the many places we visited. (Sequoia zoo/park, Trees of mystery, Grizzly creek, and Samoa beach) The Fern House provided us with quiet place to sleep. Even during the day it was quiet. It was well equipped/supplied. We did bring a rice cooker and deep dish pans. But kitchen was well equipped with everything else. Didn't have access to the garage. Granddaughter enjoyed the kid's bedroom andtoys. She didn't have the chance to sleep in it because she wanted someone to sleep with her. (I enjoyed sleeping in the master bedroom. Bed was very soft and comfy) It's a home it the cut. If you don't pay attention, you'll miss the driveway to the entrance. I literally had done it.lol Would love to come back again!

Highly Recommend! We had a lovely stay in Mckinleyville. The location was perfect for all activities in the Humboldt area. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything needed for our stay. The hosts were wonderful with communication. I highly recommend staying here, and would defintely stay here again when in the area.

Redwood Forest Perfect location for visiting Redwood Forrest National/State Park. Close to a grocery store with a full stocked kitchen, a chance to not eat out on the family road trip. Plenty of space for family time.

Lovely home in a convenient location Our family (2 adults, 3 kids) had a fantastic stay at the Fern House. The house was spotlessly clean, well stocked with all the essentials and several bonuses, and the location allowed us to explore all around Humboldt County and Redwoods State and National Parks easily. The tide pools at Sue-Meg State Park were a favorite of our kids (10y, 12y, 14y). We all loved Fern Canyon and Clintonia Trail in the Gold Bluffs Beach area. Sunset just up the road at Clam Beach County Park was amazing and easy to access. At Fern House, we loved the coffee station, the small cooler provided for day trips, and the gorgeous porch and gardens. The two living rooms made it easy for everyone to have enough space to spread out and unwind after long days of exploring. The front porch was fantastic for enjoying a drink in the evening or putting on shoes to head out in the morning. We also had a great time finding the tiny frogs (and not so tiny slugs!) throughout the garden in the early mornings and evenings. The hosts were easy to contact and responded very quickly to our few questions during our stay. Check in and check out were both simple and well communicated. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return to the Fern House!
