The space
As this house is on the hilltop, there are a set of stairs to access the main level of the house. Additionally, the house has a set of stairs to access the second floor bedrooms and bath which contains a full bathtub. Behind the sliding barn door, the master bedroom has a private bath with a shower. The fully equipped kitchen is set off the living room and has an island that is great for meal prep while visiting with guests. High quality furnishings and linens, and we keep to traditional interior styling to best blend with our mountain retreat. The house is approximately 1,500 square feet of living space plus a large garage and game area on the ground level.

The sauna in the backyard is available for guests to use and directions for operation are located in the welcome guide inside the house.
The washer and dryer are located on the ground level in the garage, along with a pool table
The house is set apart from the other two vacation homes on the property and surrounded by trees, providing privacy.

The DRIVEWAY leading up to the house is GRAVEL and somewhat STEEP in areas. Use caution and drive slowly up and down the hill. All types of vehicles with good tires can make it up the drive, some more easily than others.

If you are pulling a trailer, feel free to park and unhitch just inside the gated entry, as parking and turning around is tight once you get to the top of the hill and reach the house.

The best time to enjoy river activities is (approximately) April until August. In drought years the water will be very low.

Please note that we have three listings on this 5 acre property, and you may run into other guests in the shared meadow below the house if Caraway Cottage or Pepperwood Place are booked. Have a larger party? Consider booking the entire estate for your vacation! Check out Avenue of the Giants Caraway Cottage and Pepperwood Place
Guests booking on certain platforms will be asked to sign a rental agreement and payment will be processed through a hosting company called Hostaway.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house, the deck and backyard. Additionally there is a large meadow below the house (which has a pond/ fire pit/picnic area), and is shared with guests from the other 2 houses on the 5 acre estate.

Other things to note
Being situated on the Avenue of The Giants, there is easy access to HWY 101,
but you may also hear some noise from the highway.
