This 900 square foot red cottage boasts plenty of outdoor space including two amazing decks which offer optimal sunshine and a yard all around the house, nestled against the hillside. In addition to the deck space and green yard space, there is a large meadow located right up the drive which is ideal for picnics and playtime. The cottage has a full sized washer and dryer located in the basement for quick and easy washing. A kitchen stocked with all the necessities (and a few snacks great for hiking) make it easy to prepare for picnics or for a quiet dinner in. The house has an on-demand hot water heater to ensure that everyone gets a hot shower!

Guests have access to the entire cottage and the surrounding yard. Additionally, a walk up the driveway past the little red house will set you right onto the hillside meadow. This meadow, with the old oak trees, pond, a fire pit, green grass, and an occasional quail, squirrel, or wild turkey is available to you to enjoy the sun and shade.
The fire pit area is a shared area for the 3 Airbnb’s.

If there is anything you may need, we are available to communicate by phone or come by the house. We are usually about 10-15 minutes away and can help resolve any issues that may arise, such as resetting the WiFi.

I do all the housekeeping and maintenance, so I very much appreciate that guests leave the cottage tidy at checkout.

One mile north of our cottage along the Avenue of the Giants is the town of Miranda, where you will find all you need to stock up for your stay. There are gas pumps at the local market, a post office, the Avenue Cafe (serves lunch & dinner), The Redwood Palace (local oysters, beer and wine), Sips Coffee kiosk, and a Sweets shop.

Humboldt County is a rural, forested area and you might find that you have limited cellular/data services. GPS/Navigation May not be accurate. Please print out and follow my directions on Airbnb.

The cottage is located directly on the historic Avenue of the Giants so there is potential for some motorist noise from other travelers visiting the area.

The best time to enjoy river activity is (approximately) late April until August.
In years of drought, the water level will be very low.

Please note that we have three Airbnb listings on this 5 acre property and if the Hilltop house is booked, you may run into the other guests in the shared meadow.
Please leave the house in the condition you found it in; clean the kitchen, tidy up and do the dishes. We will take care of the laundry. Be respectful of the neighbors; quiet hours begin at 10pm, including the fire pit/picnic area. If you are traveling with a pet, please do not allow it on the furniture or beds and do not leave it unattended in the house.
Thank you
