Wavesong Refuge - Hot Tub, Bluff Trails & Garden

Steam curls off your private hot tub while the soft rumble of waves drifts over the garden fence and stars fill the McKinleyville sky. This 3-bedroom gray cottage sleeps 6, with a fenced yard of fruit trees and native herbs, a sunny wood deck, and a sunlit kitchen built around a butcher block island. Walk one block to the Mad River Bluffs trails and the Hammond Bicycling Trail, then spend an evening in Arcata, just minutes away.

A flagstone path leads through drought-tolerant coastal landscaping to a teal front door, and inside, this single-story cottage opens into a bright, easy flow from living room to kitchen to deck. Mornings start with coffee at the round table as sunlight crosses the floor. Afternoons are for the bluff trails a block away, and evenings end in the hot tub behind a tall wood privacy fence, listening for the waves. It is a sweet seaside retreat for families and friends, and a quiet base for a writing, meditation, or self-care getaway.

Sleeping Arrangements
Total occupancy: 6 guests
Total beds: 4

Three bedrooms off a quiet hallway, each with its own double bed and closet, give couples, friends, and small families their own space.

Bedroom 1 features a double bed with a pine headboard and floral bedding beneath a window looking out to the trees. Pale blue walls, bamboo floors, and a ceiling fan make it a breezy, restful retreat for a couple.

Bedroom 2 is a cozy carpeted room with sage walls, a double bed in soft gray bedding, and a forest painting on the wall, an easy fit for a friend or an older child.

Bedroom 3 pairs a natural wood double bed and green quilt with a large sunny window, blue patterned curtains, and a frosted glass sliding barn door, ideal for guests who love morning light.

The living room adds a double sleeping option on the gray futon for extra flexibility.

Bathrooms
The full bathroom pairs a tub and shower combo with built-in shelves and a tropical leaf shower curtain, a pedestal sink with a mosaic backsplash, and a glass-front cabinet stocked with rolled towels. A high window keeps it bright.

Living Areas
The living room centers on a shiplap accent wall and a large smart TV on a rustic green console, ready for your favorite streaming services. Sink into the gray futon, the loveseat under a quilted throw, or the blue armchair with ottoman, while a big picture window frames the green trees. A quieter sitting nook with a bookshelf and bentwood lounge chairs opens onto the kitchen through a pass-through counter, a perfect corner for reading or writing. Board games are on hand for game night.

Kitchen & Dining
Maple cabinets, black countertops, and a rolling butcher block island with two stools set the scene for relaxed cooking. A gas range, oven, stainless French door refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker keep meals easy. The round dining table seats four under a striped glass pendant light, right beside the sliding glass door to the deck.

Hot Tub, Deck & Garden
Step through the sliding door onto the sunny wood deck, where a bistro table with an umbrella and two blue lounge chairs face a fenced green lawn. The private hot tub sits just beside the house on a stone and gravel patio, screened by a tall wood fence and a blossoming tree, so you can soak under the stars. Out in the yard, a white birch rises over planted garden beds, fruit trees, and native herbs.
