Pet Policy:

If you wish to bring pets, please contact us to let us know the breeds and sizes. We allow well behaved dogs only. Please note that due to our clients with sensitivity to pet hair and the high end nature of our custom furniture and linens, dogs are not allowed on the furniture. Your dogs will still have a splendid time with easy river access, a large yard fenced from the road, three large dog beds, and dog-friendly beaches and forests to roam.

The Lost Coast Vacation House is a family vacation home that is uniquely situated on 300+ feet of private river frontage on Northern California’s Lost Coast in Humboldt County. It is five miles from two gorgeous Lost Coast ocean beaches, the Lost Coast Trailhead/Campground, and is in a “banana belt” zone which remains fog free and sunny during the summer and fall. Completed in 1996 with extensive custom interior detailing, it has been furnished and maintained with the highest standards. It is available for rental all year round, including holidays and weekends.

The property has four spacious bedrooms, including two upstairs suites with cathedral ceilings and skylights. There are views of the river from virtually every room in the house, and the entire home is sunny and warm, with lots of open space and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with a formal dining table for six, and there is a Lopi woodstove for warm evenings and sliding glass doors leading to a deck and patio with river views.

We have numerous organic fruit trees on the property, with cherries available in June and fresh plums and heirloom apples available from July to November. Uncrowded pristine beaches allow for private time to search for shells, watch sea lions and shore birds, or just relax and reconnect. Opportunities for hiking, surfing, sea kayaking and beach camping are available within a 15 minute drive, and bring your bike to enjoy some of the best bicycling terrain in America. Fish from your private river beach or just relax on the deck and watch the heron, egrets and river otters play.

The Victorian town of Ferndale is 30 miles away and offers shopping and restaurants. The house is located 4-5 hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area. Though the drive is long, everyone who has visited says it is well worth the effort and it is the “lost” quality which has kept this area so pristine. The quails are roaming the garden, the sea lions are calling on the beach, and the gray whales are passing offshore. Wouldn’t you rather be here?
