We enjoyed our stay. We had the privilege of meeting the owner and he was very nice and helpful. The house was very clean and felt very safe. It was nice that there were several mirrors in the house which allows more people to get ready especially with it being one bathroom. The only recommendation I would make is to be clearer that the one-bedroom folds out into a full-size bed which is a bit small for two people. I would definitely stay again.

Ken, our host was very hospitable and welcoming. Ken shared some local information, as this was our first visit to Humboldt County. He happened to be at the property when we arrived. It was a wonderful place to stay both in the house, their outdoor space, including a garden; and, in McKinleyville. I was surprised that the house was 10 years old, as it seemed fairly new inside. The place was very clean and pleasant, with some nice artistic touches.
