Funky Little Shack

Sweet lil shack. Enjoy a memorable visit when you stay in this unique place. This is a space to get away from it all and enjoy nature. Rural area, close to State and National Parks and only minutes from Pacific Ocean with many access points and handfuls of some of the best Lagoons in the country. We are just across the highway from where Redwood Creek and Prairie Creek meet. Good ocean and river fishing access just near by. Some of the most beautiful hiking. To name a few of my favorites within 10min driving distance: Fern Canyon, Prairie Creek State Park, Redwood Creek, and all the ocean/lagoon accesses.

**PLEASE READ ALL SITE INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING**
!! NO TV/ NO WIFI (here to get away from it all) - there is free WIFI in town at the local elementary school.

*FANS & DEHUM*
1) Kitchen and bathroom fans need to run at all times if it's raining. Also ALWAYS when showering or cooking.
2) Dehumidifier(small white box in corner by back door) helps keep moisture down in our climate and it would be appreciated if that runs at all times unless it's too warm or too loud for you at night, feel free to turn it off.

*MAY ENCOUNTER POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ANIMALS*
We have elk occasionally in the yard. Our property is butted up against a hillside; when the berries come out in the summertime we sometimes have brown bears in the backyard nibbling.

It ain't called Funky Little Shack for no reason. There's more things to consider when being conscientious upon living in a coastal & rural area. Thank You for taking the time to read carefully.
