The space Shell Cottage Make this cottage by the beach your home away from home, and enjoy an unforgettable getaway with your family or friends! Shell Cottage is a private cottage on a canal with a securely fenced front and back yard for your kids. Dock access is gated and offers a slip for canoes, kayaks, and rowboats if you choose to bring them. The Shell Cottage sits right on a canal in King Salmon, a fishing village just six and a half miles south of Eureka, where you can find several malls, theaters, convenience stores, dining options, and more! The thriving arts communities in Victorian Ferndale, Arcata, and Eureka have much to offer day and night, including live shows, art exhibits, and community events. Del Arte in Blue Lake always puts on incredible, innovative shows. If anyone in your group is a cinephile, a little further away, they can find Prairie Creek State Park (where Return of the Jedi was filmed) and Fern Canyon (where Jurassic Park was filmed); both are 54 and 58.5 miles away, respectively. The living room features a large TV with cable and DVD, a comfortable sitting area with a queen sofa bed, and fresh nautical charm, creating the perfect ambience for endless relaxation. The well-equipped kitchen will help you prepare the most delicious snacks and meals you can enjoy indoors or at the picnic table in the front yard for some outdoor dining. The backyard also has seating by the dock and canal.
