About this cabin rental

NEW LISTING: Douglas Park Cottage—0.6 Miles to the World`s Greatest Redwood Trails

New listing—come stay.

You`re here for the world`s greatest stretch of old-growth redwood trails. This cottage puts you 0.6 miles from the trailheads along Howland Hill Road—the legendary 10-mile scenic drive through Jedediah Smith`s ancient groves.
Stout Grove. Boy Scout Tree. Mill Creek. Grove of Titans. The trails that serious hikers research for months start less than a ten-minute walk from your front door.
Park once. Hike all week. Come back to a cute, cozy cottage—the perfect place to sleep after a day of adventure.
Custom one-bedroom. Sleeps 4. Forest views. Wood stove. Five minutes to Smith River swimming holes.
No pets.

The Position (This Is Why You`re Here)
You didn`t travel to Del Norte County to commute to trailheads. You came to be in the redwoods.
0.6 miles from your door to Howland Hill Road, where you`ll find:

Stout Memorial Grove – 0.6-mile loop through `the most scenic redwood grove in existence` (per Save the Redwoods League)
Boy Scout Tree Trail – 5.2 miles roundtrip to one of the most massive redwood specimens, plus Fern Falls
Mill Creek Trail – pristine creek-side old growth with fewer crowds
Grove of Titans – newest addition to the park`s official trail system, a must-see grove featuring some of the most massive redwoods on earth

Howland Hill Road itself is an attraction—a narrow, unpaved scenic drive where `you can extend your hand out the window and touch the trunks of these giants.`
5 minutes: Smith River boat launch, swimming holes, beaches
8 minutes: Hiouchi hamlet (gas, legendary Hiouchi Cafe breakfast)
15 minutes: Pacific Coast at Pebble Beach
15 minutes: Downtown Crescent City (groceries, restaurants)
Historic Douglas Park. Two homes on property—you`re in the private cottage with separate entrance and deck. Privacy between dwellings means you probably won`t see the family in the main house unless you seek them out.

The Cottage
Custom-built with wood ceilings and natural wood throughout. Cute, cozy, perfect place to decompress after long days on the trails.
Kitchen: Full granite counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances
Living: Open concept with wood stove, flows to private deck with forest views (river views after storms)
Sleeping: Queen bed in bedroom + queen sleeper sofa
Bathroom: Full bath with in-unit washer/dryer
Outside: Gravel pathways, native landscaping, forest backdrop, boat trailer parking
Important: 200-foot gravel walkway from parking to front door. Plan accordingly if bringing heavy gear or mobility concerns.

Checked all the boxes for what I was looking for and a great location, absolutely adorable and cozy cabin! The host was very accommodating and communicative. Even though it’s a shared property it still felt private and the cabin was well maintained. No complaints, loved the experience!
