Welcome to our Wapiti (Elk) Cottage!

This newly renovated cottage is one of three homes available on our large property. We are quite literally in the middle of the Coastal Redwoods centrally located in the heart of the National & State Redwood Parks with easy access to explore all the parks, trails, & beaches while providing a cozy, well-equipped home to rest in-between your adventures.

The space
Our six acre property sits in the middle of the Redwood National Park, backs up to Prairie Creek, & offers 3 Cottages on one side of the property as well as a small full hook-up RV Park on the opposite side. We are often visited by the amazing wildlife, including the Roosevelt Elk that call this area home. We are right off of Highway 101, three miles north of the town of Orick.

This Cottage sleeps up to 7 and features 3 Bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Full & 1 Twin), 1 Bathroom w/ a Walk-In Shower, Full Kitchen, Dining Room, Laundry Room (full size washer & dryer), Living Room w/ 55” Smart TV, Fireplace, free WiFi, with a whole house generator for unplanned power outages.

Guest access
You will have access to the whole Cottage as well as the front & back yard. You may also go down to the creek behind the property, be advised it is fishable but no lifeguards are on duty. Feel free to enjoy our whole property. When in season, help yourselves to the many wild berries that encircle our property.

Other things to note
We offer FREE high-speed WiFi, & smart TV. There is a fire pit out back & firewood is provided as well as a Gas BBQ & picnic tables. A baby high chair, gate, & Pack & Play are available upon request.

The Roosevelt Elk frequent our property often. Please be advised they are wild animals. As you enjoy their grandeur, keep your distance & keep your animals on a leash as they are unpredictable & can be dangerous.

We are located in the middle of the beautiful north coast Redwoods, surrounded by National & State Parks, Lagoons, Beaches, Creeks & Rivers. Adventure is literally in every direction, whether you want to stroll through the Redwoods, go to the beach, take a hike, or adventure in our many water ways.
