Thanks so much for the beautiful house...it truly made our honeymoon!!! Sitting in the hot tub watching the birds fly by---what a great experience! We will see you next year! Nick
We had an amazing honeymoon. Beautiful home, stunning views! We will book our first anniversary next July. Oh, and we'll bring binoculars next time to watch the birds.

Thank you, Richard.
This place is perfect to discover this part of the California Coast.
We visited Trinidad and her beaches, Moonstone Beach, and we walked to the Mad River Beach in front of the cabin. We discoivered the Hammond Trail, Prairie Creek Park, and Willow Creek. Our best restaurant is Moonstone Grill: You can watch the sunset if the weather is clear....
The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, and we appreciate the ocean scenery...relaxing and so natural and wild....very different from the view we are used to in our country....Marco and Paola

Beautiful relaxing time. What a cozy house!! My husband and 3 kids really were able to relax here. Great idea the TV's in the back. We played lots of games, sat on the patio every morning with coffee and every night for sunsets.
We can't offer advice for restaurants as we BBQ'd fresh fish from Kay's in Trinidad and ribs from Ray's. We kayaked Big Lagoon, biked the Hammond Trail, and hiked Prairie Creek/Fern Canyon. "Awesome" places, all of them. Packed picnic lunches every day and just explored. Thanks, again. The Newby's

Hey guys-
Planning another trip to beautiful Humboldt. I have stayed at the Whales Tale Cabin, and the family loved it. Let me know if it's going to be available. (Comment from returning guests).

| We truly enjoyed our stay at the Whales Tale Cabin. The Giant Redwoods and beautiful coastline provided many wonderful activities. Our favorite was hiking Prairie Creek Park to Fern Canyon. We found the cabin cozy and comfortable. Hopefully the hot tub will be repaired soon. I would suggest adding a picnic table on the back porch for cooking outside and enjoying the beautiful ocean view! |

This is a great property and I would recommend it
to anyone. Everything was clean and bright. The
master king-sized bed was new and very
comfortable (perhaps the others are too, but I
didn't sleep in them), the views were great, and the
owners have made an effort to make you feel
welcome, from the new, soft towels, to the home
decor, and lovely bedspreads. We definitely will
come back. |

This little home is such a treasure! We feel so
blessed to have found it; thanks to VRBO! Our only
negative thought is that we didn't stay longer! The
home is very clean, light, comfortable, and has
great views. The website descriptions are
completely accurate. We definitely will stay here
again and will tell our friends about it. Thanks for
making this home available to us travelers. Maybe
next time the spa will have it's new motor. Fireplace
tools would be a great addition. |

Thanks for the heads up about the credit card charge - I had hoped you had forgotten ;)
We were very pleased with the house - it was everything the pictures and descriptions said, and more. It definitely made for a relaxing weekend getaway and we'll let our friends know about it if they ever travel up that way.

Many things don't live up to the advertise-
ment, but Whale's Tale Cabin was even better than the ad. It is modern, well-equipped and comfortable. The view is lovely and serene. I would go back in a heartbeat. |

| My recommendation of this spot is very high. I just spent a very relaxing weekend at the bungalow and have just booked the place for my birthday weekend next month. Great views of birds, beach, dunes and river-plus the sound of crashing surf; wonderful outdoor space with clean and functional hottub and big deck chairs; clean and warm house with fireplace and central heating; and secluded from neighbors. A great place to refresh your soul, commune with nature and hang with good friends. One recommendation is directions to Ray's-we thought you meant Roger's market and didn't discover the grocery store until our way back to SF! |

Spent 6 weeks at the cabin. Unbeatable views. It was
hard to go home again.
Simply, but nicely furnished. Hottub overlooking the
ocean is wonderful. |

Quiet, with the sound of pounding surf in the distance. Great light and views thru the many windows. Fresh ocean breezes and delightfully hot jacuzzie and private sunning area overlooking the river, dunes and ocean out back.
Everything neat clean and working, no easy feat I know. [My only sugestion is to add some Oriental rugs and original work of local artists.]
Thanks for making it all available,

| This is a lovely, charming bungalow in a beautiful location. It was soooo quiet, but you could hear the ocean when the patio door was open. The bed's were soft and luxurious and the spa was a treat. This is a lovely area of California that is highly underrated and seldom crowded. Definitely drive around to Mad Beach for a quiet walk along the ocean. It was a great vacation for our family. We played board games, hiked, barbecued, and just generally enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend the cottage. Thanks! |

| We enjoyed our stay very much. It was everything the description said it would be. The place is very roomy, the master bed was so comfortable (we had trouble sleeping when we got home!), and it was very quiet. The spa was such a marvelous way to end the day; it really makes the cabin. Even though the property next door was undergoing construction, it didn't really bother us at all (only 4 workers at a time, and they started late and ended early). It took me a while to get used to cooking with an electric range and stove (tip: set the oven to ~25 degrees higher than the desired temp), but the kitchen was relatively well stocked (could use some tongs and mixing bowls). I would love to return for a longer stay, and I definitely recommend it if you have children. |

| This is one of the loveliest vacation homes we have stayed in in California. It was comfortable and incredibly quiet. We loved taking a jacuzzi while watching the river life drift by or just watching the sunset. A great location for visiting HSU parents/families. |

| We arrived at night after a full day of traveling and was quite happy to find a vacation home that was pleasant, clean and inviting. When we awoke the next morning we were excited to see the surrounding area. We never tired of watching the changes of the tide and the wildlife going back and forth. It was great being central to the Lost Coast and Redwood National Forest. We look forward to returning. |
