About this property

Eureka, Bay Views, Surrounded by Trees. Weddings, Retreats, Reunions, Events too

This home, built nearly 100 years ago by a lumber baron for his family, has been completely renovated for your enjoyment. The house is surrounded, and hidden by 2 acres of mature trees of all kinds, which were collected from around the world by the original owner.
The spacious living room and dining room has the original beautiful curly redwood wains-coating, window framing and built-in cabinets and is separated from the gourmet kitchen by a see-through gas fireplace, for added warmth and charm.
Each of the 5 bedrooms in the house are large and each has a private bath and a TV. There are wheelchair ramps and wheelchair friendly bathrooms to the main level..
There is a 6th bedroom, a cozy studio, with its own outside entrance but connected to the house. It is private and is separated from the main house. This studio is available to rent also but is not included in the price for the whole house. The bed is a daybed that can be 2 twins or 1 King.
Included in per level Tier Pricing, the BAR/GAME room for your group has a wet bar, pool/ping pong table, poker and bar tables, small couch and big screen T.V./ DVR/DVD, 2 half bathrooms (one wheel chair friendly) located in the daylight basement. This room is great for parties, gatherings or just fun for the group. If you are having an event and inviting a large number of other guests for a certain day you will be required to fill out an event contract and pay an extra fee.
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE RENT CHARGE CLOSELY, the Sample Quote is for only part of the house. I wanted small groups to enjoy the house too and not be scared off by the price of the whole house. In by doing so the Sample Quote just picks up the lowest price: the MAIN level with just 2 bedrooms /w 2.5 baths and the BAR/GAME Level /w 2 - 1/2 baths. Which can sleep 8 very comfortably, for $500 a night/ cleaning $200 For the WHOLE house, Which includes MAIN level + BAR/GAME level + UPSTAIRS level, which has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths at $700 a night and $300 cleaning. It is not my intention to misrepresent the $700 per night for the whole house and the Cleaning for $300. If you need any help
with deciding how many rooms and levels you will need to accommodate your group, I will be happy to work with you so you get the best configuration at the best possible price, I can then adjust the sample quote for how many people and or bedrooms you will need in your group,.....
2 persons per bedroom, + (very young children, o.k).
Also the Studio is priced separately, $100 a night/$ 25 Cleaning. So another possibility could be that you need only 3 bedrooms, So you would book the MAIN level with BAR /GAME at $500 a night and the STUDIO at $100 a night (you won't need the Upstairs level), with a total of $600 a night and $225 Cleaning.
I want to keep the price down for the smaller groups as much as possible so more people can afford to stay and enjoy this warm and enchanting property while experiencing the North Coast and reuniting with friends and families.
To help you with your assignment of rooms per bed sizes and location, here are the rooms / beds / baths broken down:

MAIN Level - Kitchen, living / dining room
wheel chair ramps and wheel chair friendly baths
2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths + a washer and dryer

Why they chose this property

Five children, and some grandchildren, were raised in this home. Everyone is all grown up now and have gone their separate ways...this house needs to be enjoyed again, by family and friends. It would be a great place for a family reunion, a wedding, or for a group of friends to have a gathering. Or a seminar or re-treat or ??.

What makes this property unique

Shower or tub?.. Each bedroom has a private bathroom....be sure to 'dubs' the room with your favorite bathing preference.
Having laundry issues during your stay? Don't fret...there are 2 sets of large capacity washers/dryers available.
Sun rise or sunset? enjoy the Morning sun deck for your coffee, and the west side deck for your evening libation during a dazzling setting sun. Lovely! (poor weather conditions are not our fault)
Too many cooks in the kitchen? No worries.. with our 8 burner gas stove, 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers ...there's room and appliances, pots n pans and cooking gadgets for all of you to enjoy.... or enjoy yourself in game room while everyone else is cooking..., it has a fully equipped wet bar, a ping-pong/pool table, and a poker table. Also a large screen TV. And a rare working player piano. There are 2 restrooms located in the bar for your convenience. And be sure to take a gander at, and be properly impressed by our array of childhood trophies ...proudly displayed! : )
