A unique four-bedroom home with a handcrafted water wheel and responsive local hosting. Your home base for the redwoods.
Built in 1906 and thoughtfully restored, the Water Wheel Victorian combines historic character with the modern comforts that make longer stays easy.
The water wheel turns in the front pond by the glazed sunporch. It was built by local craftsman Martin Sweet, who restored this home's original custom molding and other Victorians in the area. It's the house's signature feature and part of its local story.
The sunporch fills with morning light and offers a spot for breakfast, coffee, or a game of chess at the bistro tables. A couch by the water wheel provides a comfortable place to read or unwind at the end of the day.
Comfortable seating, a large smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, and Prime, and space for your whole group to relax after a day in the redwoods.
Fully equipped for real cooking, the kitchen includes a stand mixer, roasting pan, and a well-stocked spice rack, along with the essentials for everyday meals. Families have prepared full holiday meals here, and you'll have what you need to cook comfortably at home.
Four bedrooms across two floors, each with a smart TV and bedside charging stations. The beds are consistently noted for their comfort, with extra blankets and pillows available in every room.

Two full bathrooms, one on each floor, with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and fresh towels provided. An upstairs laundry room makes it easy to pack light, especially for longer stays.
The fully fenced backyard offers space to relax, grill on the propane BBQ, or gather at the picnic tables with seating for eight. It's especially convenient for guests traveling with dogs, and in the spring the rhododendrons add seasonal color.
Not a checklist — these are the things guests actually notice and appreciate.

Cody lives in a separate unit on the property. Guests have private access and self check-in, but local support is available if needed. He is responsive and easy to reach during your stay.
“I cannot emphasize enough how well the owner communicated with us. Any questions that we had were answered immediately. Everything was done at an extremely professional level.”

“Cody's house is my go-to every time I come to Eureka for work! Feels just like home. Great communication. Every time I come back the house has more upgrades and beautiful work done to it!”
“It was my boyfriend's first Airbnb experience, and he wanted a hotel instead. Long story short, he was amazed. What Cody offered in the listing was nothing compared to what he actually provided.”
“The residence was amazing. From the very beginning, it gave you an 'I am home' type of feeling. Don't let the age of the home fool you — everything worked as it's supposed to.”
“We were in town for Thanksgiving week, and the great surprise was how well-equipped the kitchen was. We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner there with no issues whatsoever.”
“Charming, meticulously maintained home. The beds are super comfy and the amenities far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this home if you are exploring Humboldt.”
“One of the best stocked Airbnbs we've been in. If you want to cook or prepare meals you'll have everything you need. The washer and dryer are top drawer too.”
“We traveled with 4 adults, 4 kids, and 2 dogs. We never felt crammed. He had goodies waiting for us and treats for the dogs, plus a good-sized backyard for them. We would gladly stay here again.”
“The place was perfect for our large group of friends. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen had a lot of utensils and cookware so we ate in most nights which was great!”
“We really enjoyed the central location — easy walk to downtown! Cody's list of local recommendations gave us so many fun tips that made the Eureka visit one for the memory books.”
“Cody's place was beautiful and cozy. His place is located perfectly for travelers wanting to explore the massive redwoods. We would love to stay here again when we return!”
“I've been traveling up to Humboldt for 7+ years and always stayed in hotels. This trip I decided to check out Airbnb. It was perfect — I can't express how pleasant it was working from Cody's house.”
