THINGS TO KNOW
The hot tub is a 120V Plug N Play hot tub. If the water is changed between guests, it will take at least 24 hours to reach temperature. Your patience is appreciated as we offer this new and delightful amenity.
For an extraordinary, rural work-from-home experience in this exquisite natural setting, please bring your own personal hot spot as we have not been able to secure a reliable WiFi provider due to the rural nature of this home
The property caretaker lives about 100 yards away on the same multi-acre lot. The caretaker respects guests' privacy and will only come around if assistance is requested.
Duck hunting does occur on the lagoon from mid-October through January. There is no direct access to the lagoon from the property. A boat/kayak launch site is just a short drive around the corner.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Great View!
We enjoyed a peaceful stay overlooking the ocean with plenty of space for our family of 5. Beds are very comfortable. The hot tub was a bonus for us to relax with a great view. The property managers responded promptly to our questions. Would stay again!

Great location, great view, great vacation!
We were looking for something casual and comfortable with lots of space and a great location -and this was perfect. The property was clean, the view of the ocean is beautiful, and it is located within driving distance to go easily both north and south to park destinations. House was fully equipped and was well set up for children and extended family. Several eating spaces including large deck. Laundry was so nice to have available after a day of hiking or tide pooling. We really enjoyed our stay!

Liked: Cleanliness
Amazing view through dirty windows
The view is amazing. However, the property manager needs to make sure the cleaning crew cleans. There were countless spiders/webs inside throughout the home. The interior & exterior of all windows, especially those that face the lagoon & ocean, were extremely dirty and had a lot of dead bugs and old spider webs on them.

Perfect home base for Redwood trip
The listing undersells this property! It feels larger and nicer in person. Views are amazing - not just the lagoon, ocean view too! The kids loved the cat that visited daily, the frogs in the pond, the mass of ripe blackberry bushes, and the banana slugs covering them in the mornings. Orick is a great central location for access to Prairie Creek State Park which has a ton of nice hikes for little kids, fern canyon, and also some National Park locations. It’s also a great spot for quick access to the nearby beach, or to head south to more epic beach landscapes or for dining options. We saw elk there everyday! The kitchen was nice to cook in, and the big primary bedroom worked great for a couple with very young kids to all be together. The ping pong and air hockey in the garage were also a big hit. We’d love to stay here again, highly recommend!

Our stay in Orick
The house met our needs, and the notebook of things to do and suggested restaurants was helpful. However, there were no written instructions on how to use the amenities in the house. For example, no instructions on how to connect to any stations on the tv, there was no Wi-Fi, but there was no listing of any places we could go to get free access to the internet. We were very disappointed that we were not able to get the fireplace to work, we tried many things, but there were no directions on how to work it.

Great location, beautiful site
It is a beautiful property with a gorgeous view of the ocean and lagoon. It's close to the redwoods which are incredible. It was listed as being able to sleep 10. It was a bit awkward for 8. eg the master bedroom can only be reached by going through one of the other bedrooms. The local Vacassa staff was not very helpful. For example, a sign on refrigerator said don't cook crabs or clams in the house (they smell awful), call for a crab pot and cook them outside. When we called the "local" Vacassa rep, she had to ask someone and call back. When she did, she said the crab season was closed. That was not true - there were restrictions on how you fish for them because of whales in the area. We met the owner, who was very helpful and lent us a pot.

Amazing peaceful views, beautiful flowers!
This home is conveniently located to points of interest both north and south. It has stunning views of the lagoon and ocean. There are plenty of birds, even eagles to enjoy while sitting on the patio or in the hot tub. The road up to the home is not well maintained; there are lots of pot holes and it is narrow in places. Please drive with caution once you leave RT 101. That said, the drive is worth the view! We made use of the provided binoculars to watch the wildlife. The home was large enough for our party of 9. The kitchen is appropriately stocked for prepping family meals. Appliances are clean and in good condition, please note it’s a regular coffee pot not a k-cup. There is a selection of dvds, games and books The furnishings and bathroom decor are dated. This home is on a mountain so be prepared for spiders and cobwebs. The house is surrounded by colorful plants that attract plenty of hummingbirds. This home provided the opportunity for great family memories.

Amazing!
The Lagoon House is great. There was plenty of room for 10 of us. The beds were comfortable and what an awesome view to wake up to! Kitchen is stocked well and spacious. Washer/dryer worked well. Local grocery store has enough to get by. And the best part is it is a short drive to Redwoods Park where you can see otherwordly scenery! The perfect base camp for family adventures into the park. And plenty to do at the house if you find yourself staying there. Would love to stay here again.

Beautiful and peaceful home.
We had a great time in this home. We were exploring the Redwoods with our 10 year old son. He LOVED the ping pong table and hot tub. We also enjoyed playing board games at night. The location was great, conveniently located between Trinidad and Klamath. We were able to enjoy several beautiful trails nearby. The house was clean, well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable.

Relaxing, beautiful surroundings, great views, very peaceful!
So much like visiting someone's home, clean, well stocked, it was much nicer than we were expecting. Didn't need to go very far for awesome hiking and relaxing. Property manager was great about issues or questions. I can't wait to return. Just what was needed for a mental reset from city life. Loved it.
