The Hideout
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
The Hideout is a private, gated one-bedroom, one-bath apartment loft tucked into the redwood forests of California's far north coast, near Crescent City and Del Norte County. The property sits behind secured, fenced and cross-fenced grounds with its own yard space, offering guests a quiet, self-contained retreat rather than a traditional hotel experience. Inside, a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, a fireplace, heating, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi make it suited to extended, self-catered stays. The unit is roughly three miles from the coastline with beach access and about five miles from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, putting old-growth redwood hiking and Pacific shoreline within a short drive. A cluster of seafood spots, cafes, a brewery, and a Thai eatery sit within three to six miles, covering dining needs without requiring a long trip. The property is pet-friendly with yard space for animals and explicitly welcomes 420-friendly guests, reflecting its relaxed, cabin-in-the-woods character.
Best for
This property is best suited to couples, solo travelers, or small groups seeking a private, low-key basecamp for exploring the redwoods and Northern California coastline. Pet owners benefit from the fenced yards and pet-friendly policy, while the full kitchen and fireplace make it appealing for travelers who prefer cooking in and settling into a cozy, secluded space over hotel-style service. Its 420-friendly stance and gated privacy also make it a fit for guests specifically seeking that kind of relaxed, discreet retreat.
Travel tips
A car is essentially necessary here, as the property is set back in a rural, forested area behind security gates and several miles from restaurants and shops. Del Norte County Regional Airport is the closer option at roughly 6.5 km away, while California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport is a longer drive at about 90 km. Plan grocery runs and dining trips in advance since the nearest restaurants are a three-to-six-mile drive, and build in time to visit Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, about five miles away.
