Recent Humboldt County - California vacation rental reviews

The house is well equipped everything is new. Great location next to downtown and still quiet. Great amenities.

Shell cottage was the perfect spot to stay while visiting Eureka. It was nice to be close to easy walking trails and have so much gated space for the dog. The house was really comfortable and had everything we needed during our visit! Would love to come back and take advantage of the dock area.

I loved the quiet, the accessibility of the ocean view, whether walking 20-25 minutes to the shore, out the back gate to the vast overlook at Wedding Point, or staying right on the property and sitting in a chair. I loved finding little trails and walk the intertwining roads around Shelter Cove. There are treasures, like the Fitness trail bing only 10 minutes from the house, a pathway with little wooden pillars that identify the plants along the way, or a labyrinth with a lovely wood carved pole closer to the cove. The house was warm, simple and had everything one needed. I was there for a time of solitude, and found it just right for that. It serves as a place to be quiet, to be a hermit if one likes, or as a wonderful place to enjoy with others. I enjoyed going to the General Store a couple of miles away and also visiting the little art/gift store attached to it. I bought some art supplies there to enjoy alone in the quiet, as the house only had games to play with others.

Where is Humboldt County, CA?

Spanning 4,050 square miles along the Northern California Coast, Humboldt County is beloved for its beautiful landscape. Rainy, misty weather for much of the year has allowed its iconic redwood trees and ferns to flourish. While this is enough of a draw for many travelers, the towns and cities within Humboldt County are certainly worth the visit for their ornate 19th-century homes and quirky feel.

Things to do in Humboldt County, CA

Perhaps it's the proximity to giant redwoods that have you interested in our Humboldt County cabins. Whether you want to admire these incredible trees—some of the oldest in the world—from a scenic drive or along a gorgeous hike, there are plenty of options.

The Avenue of the Giants is a famous 31-mile stretch of highway that runs parallel to the Highway 101 (in fact, it used to be a part of said highway.) It’s one of the most famous drives in the world and offers beautiful views of the forests. Along this gently curving road you’ll also find picnic tables and access points to the Eel River, so be sure to pack a lunch to enjoy in the shade.

If you’re searching for a more up close and personal interaction with these giants, there are seemingly endless hiking options near our Humboldt County vacation rentals. For an easy stroll, Cathedral Trees Trail is just under a mile and a half, and leads to some of the largest trees in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Or you can visit the aptly named Fern Canyon Trail, where you’ll be framed by lush green as you explore canyons surrounded by trees.

When it’s time to see the ocean, you’ll find no shortage of options from your Humboldt County cabin. From Eureka to Trinidad to McKinleyville, there are a number of homes near the area’s beloved coastline. Walk along Agate Beach as you search for its namesake semi-precious stones, watch for migrating gray whales at High Bluff Beach, kayak the coastline at Trinidad State Beach—however you choose to experience it, the coastline near our Humboldt County vacation rentals will be an unforgettable addition to your getaway.

While there’s a lot to love about Southern California’s bustling cities, palm trees, theme parks, and warm breezes, the Northern California Coast is a world of its own. If you’re ready to escape to charming towns dotted along the Pacific Ocean, and surrounded by misty mammoth trees, then take a look at our Humboldt County vacation rentals.
