Amazing

My family and I traveled here to be surrounded by the majestic redwoods and peaceful silence. The home had every amenity we needed and several we never touched. We were pleasantly surprised by the fondue pot and ice cream maker even though we did not use them. The drive to the house is stunning. Traveling the last week of May made for perfect weather and temperatures. I strongly recommend this home and it's comfortable accommodations.

This was a great family house. We had plenty of room, the kids loved the pond. It was secluded and not too far from the Redwoods and all that there is to do there. We really enjoyed the home. It felt very homey!

This house has absolutely everything a large family needs for a great vacation! Beautiful, clean, lots of “toys” & a breathtaking wooded trail that leads to a private pond.

Exploring Northern California

Nicely furnished, large home for family and friends retreat. It’s tucked in the woods and has a steep driveway but it’s close to the coastal towns of Trinidad and Arcata for daytime adventures. The games room is lots of fun. We chose it because it was big with lots of large bedrooms and it was dog friendly. The only negatives are that the heating system is noisy and the kids complained that the three single beds squeaked and kept them awake. The bedding is very nice and one of our group members loves the pillows so much she’s going to search for the same brand when she gets home. All-in-all a great property.

A wonderful peace for a large gathering

Great, modern, huge house for a big group stay in the Redwoods. Very clean and tidy. You could easily spend an entire vacation just at the house, there is so much to do there! If using Google maps, note that the directions are incorrect and you may get lost. Do not turn on Grassy Creek Ln as the directions say, go to the next road which is where the property is. From there, follow the marked signs and you'll have no trouble finding it.

We came for a wedding in the Blue Lake area. It suited our needs. Wish we could have stayed a little longer and used more of the amenities the place had to offer, such as barbecuing and more games. But everyone found something to keep them occupied. Hopefully we can come back.

Redwood hideaway

My family and I were absolutely in love with this house. It was so spacious, had everything we needed, and the best part was how secluded and beautiful it was. I felt safe, letting my children and dogs play outside. The herb garden was such a nice touch. The owner even left wood for us for the wood-burning fireplace. Everyone had their own space and there was so much room when we came together. That area was remote but easy to get to with satellite. GPS. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had everything we needed for our meals. The property is not far from a little grocery store for quick runs . I would say the landscape of this home was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Absolutely perfect

We drove to California all the way from New York State with our puppies to get married in the redwood national forest. Our friends and family met us there and it was the absolute perfect space and layout for our home base. Every little detail of the home is great, a lot of thought was put into it. It is in quite a remote location but not too far from the parks

50th Anniversary Celebration

We had the most wonderful stay at Bigfoot’s Hideaway. We were a large group of adults and children from Florida celebrating my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. From the decor, to the layout, to the game room, we just loved everything about this house! There were so many things to do and enjoy in and around the property and the house was perfectly situated for us to explore the Redwoods and the west coast. We highly recommend this property and would love to come back some day!

The perfect getaway

If you're looking for high-speed internet or reliable cell service, this may not be the place for you. However, if you're looking for a quiet, private, comfortable getaway, this is the IDEAL property! The location is stunning and the house is beautiful and very well appointed. We all enjoyed such peaceful, restful sleep, and I miss the quiet that I experienced here. We had a small issue (unrelated to the house/property) and it was very quickly addressed by the property manager - thank you! I cannot recommend this property enough. If you stay here, you won't regret it! I know that we'll be back.
