About this house rental

This hilltop hideaway is the main residence at Maple Hills Estate, with breathtaking views and a private back yard with a sauna. The wrap around porch offers views of the river and the surrounding mountains. River access to a great swimming spot down the road and a large meadow for guests below the house. Follow us on IG @RiverView_AveOfTheGiants.
We kindly invite our guests to read the entire listing description before booking. This is very important to set the right expectations

As this house is on the hilltop, there are a set of stairs to access the main level of the house. Additionally, the house has a set of stairs to access the second floor bedrooms and bath which contains a full bathtub. Behind the sliding barn door, the master bedroom has a private bath with a shower. The fully equipped kitchen is set off the living room and has an island that is great for meal prep while visiting with guests. High quality furnishings and linens, and we keep to traditional interior styling to best blend with our mountain retreat. The house is approximately 1,500 square feet of living space plus a large garage and game area on the ground level.

The sauna in the backyard is available for guests to use and directions for operation are located in the welcome guide inside the house.
The washer and dryer are located on the ground level in the garage, along with a pool table
The house is set apart from the other two vacation homes on the property and surrounded by trees, providing privacy.

Relax with an in-home massage. Check out my guidebook to make an appointment for yourself, or your loved one with a local certified massage therapist.

Guests have access to the entire house, the deck and backyard. Additionally there is a large meadow below the house (which has a pond/ fire pit/picnic area), and is shared with guests from the other 2 houses on the 5 acre estate.

I am always available by phone or through your booking platform should any issues arise, and usually within a 10-15 minute drive away for any issues that may need resolution in person (i.e. internet reset or power outage, etc.).

I do all the housekeeping and maintenance, so I very much appreciate that guests leave the house tidy at checkout.

One mile north of our cottage along the Avenue of the Giants is the town of Miranda, where you will find all you need to stock up for your stay. There are gas pumps at the local market, a post office, the Avenue Cafe (serves lunch & dinner), the Redwood Palace (serves dinner) and Sips Coffee kiosk

Being situated on the Avenue of The Giants, there is easy access to HWY 101,
but you may also hear some noise from the highway.

Humboldt County is a rural, forested area and you may have limited cellular/data services and GPS/Navigation Will not be accurate. Please print and follow my directions.

The DRIVEWAY leading up to the house is GRAVEL and somewhat STEEP in areas. Use caution and drive slowly up and down the hill. All types of vehicles with good tires can make it up the drive, some more easily than others.

If you are pulling a trailer, feel free to park and unhitch in the meadow below, as parking and turning around is tight once you get to the top of the hill and reach the house.

The best time to enjoy river activities is (approximately) April until August. In drought years the water will be very low.

Please note that we have three listings on this 5 acre property, and you may run into other guests in the shared meadow below the house if Caraway Cottage or Pepperwood Place are booked. Have a larger party? Consider booking the entire estate for your vacation! Check out Avenue of the Giants Caraway Cottage. Listing number 23432076 and Pepperwood Place
Guests booking on certain platforms will be asked to sign a rental agreement and payment will be processed through a hosting company called Hostaway. Cancellations will be handled according to the policy, minus cc processing fees
Please no shoes in the house and no food or drinks in the upstairs bedrooms. Please leave the house in the condition that you found it in; tidy up and do the dishes. We will take care of the laundry.
Quiet hours at the fire pit/picnic area begin at 10pm. Please be respectful of the neighbors.

The house was immaculate. Amazing location, amazing views, and amazing host.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Gorgeous home and furnishings. Well appointed with everything you need in kitchen and bathrooms. The view of the river was lovely and we enjoyed the deck. Very safe and secure gated property. Leather recliner was comfy. House was clean and bright. Twinkly lightening outside was charming and helpful at night. Bee hive in tree next to deck was fascinating to observe. Felt tucked into the woods, private and quiet. Sauna heated up quickly. Sheets and bedding were clean and comfy. Cons; difficult to get up gravel driveway in one spot with small low car. Only a master bathroom on ground floor so I had to share it as my friend had difficultly getting up and down the steep stairs to second floor bathroom. My friend thought the highway noise was loud but it didn’t bother me. Really nothing to complain about, photos matched and it was a beautiful home and property and felt very cozy. wish we had more time there!
