Little Sanctuary in the Trees
This is a super cute little place! The redwoods are all around and a beautiful wonder to behold. The unit had everything we needed...a full kitchen and two full bathrooms. The laundry room was an extra perk! Carri and Tim are wonderful hosts! Loved our stay!

Quiet forest retreat, great host
Staying at Stairway to Heaven was a wonderfully quiet and peaceful break from the noise and speed of our normal lives. Being on the second floor lets you look out at the tree tops and gaze at the stars at night. Our hosts were also helpful, communicative ,and kind humans. We would definitely recommend this to others!

Good place to stay
No frills, but the place was clean, had all the amenities, great location in the redwood forest near Point Arena and the host, Carrie, was very helpful and responded quickly to my questions and needs. Would go again, and the cost was very reasonable. P.S., I loved the high swing, calm and gorgeous.
