This One Log House location has closed

The One Log House is a unique roadside attraction located near the Grandfather Tree in the Redwoods. It features a 1500-year-old Redwood Tree, carved out by hand into a small, cozy log house. Visitors can purchase a $2 admission ticket to receive a code that unlocks the door to this interesting tiny home built inside a hollowed-out redwood. Although the house is small and not meant for living, it showcases impressive craftsmanship and offers a glimpse into the scale of these ancient trees. The site also includes a gift shop that sells handcrafted gifts, redwood carvings, local art, apparel, snacks, and souvenirs. Nearby, there is a large picnic area and a small rock garden with sculptures, which can be enjoyed by visitors and toddlers alike. The attraction is conveniently located next to the Grandfather Tree, which is free to visit and well worth the stop for its impressive size and history—growing around 400 AD. The cafe and restroom facilities are available but are often closed during the winter months or when the shop is not open. The dispensary, which sells local flowers, edibles, cartridges, seeds, and topicals, is open and accessible, though some visitors may find it less appealing, especially with young children. Overall, the One Log House offers a quick, inexpensive stop for those driving along Highway 101, providing scenic views, interesting sights, and a fun piece of history in the Redwoods.
