"The property was like an unassuming hidden gem! Small RV and cabin area, but very safe and friendly. The cabin had everything we needed for 5 of us, well appointed and nicely furnished. We had stocked up for groceries in Crescent City, driving south, which was just as well, as Orick has very little. We spent a lovely day walking through the Redwoods, then a lovely meal with some californian wine at the cabin."
