We've stayed in some nice places over the years, but this is one of our favorites. Roomy, comfortable, and decorated with great taste. It's very convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, and great hikes. You'll love it here.
This guest cottage is the perfect size for a couple or solo traveler. A nicely-appointed kitchen makes meal preparation easy. It's within easy walking distance of downtown Arcata. Recommended!
Great spot near the plaza for a single traveler or two. The hosts were accommodating and quick to respond, and the spot was clean, comfortable and quiet.
This cottage was cute and cozy and such a convenient walk into everything in Arcata. I would happily stay here again. The little patio and front yard area are really nice touches. This was a great cozy getaway with my family.
We were unable to travel at last minute so our grown children went and used the rental. They raved about sweet and clean it was. Said they could walk to everything too!
This is a lovely property, very clean, sunny, excellent location for exploring the area, very safe. I am an older single woman, so location/safety were very important to me. When I return to the area, I will definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!
The place was very cozy and close to everything. Walkable to an excellent ramen restaurant and grocery store. Short drive to the redwoods community park. Perfect stay for a weekend getaway in Arcata!
Loved this cozy spot for a long-weekend visit. We've rented more than a dozen spots in Arcata over the last decade, and would not hesitate rebooking here.
The location was perfect for us, just down the street from our daughter. The cottage was perfectly appointed with everything we needed, even bowls and towels for our dog. We will definitely be back.
I stayed in this unit for four days. I was in town to visit family and friends. The location was perfect, walking distance to all of the main shops and restaurants in town. I had plenty of space to enjoy relaxing after a long day as well as host my parents for dinner. The unit was stocked with plenty of cooking supplies, shower needs and even laundry. I will stay here again and 100% recommend this property.
This was our second stay in just over a year. It was as excellent as the first time in June of last year. Location was perfect. Neighborhood was quiet, warm, and friendly. Perfect for walking downtown to the square and shops. As last year the purpose was to visit our Granddaughter who attends Cal Poly Humboldt.
This darling cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well-appointed and the whole place is impeccably clean. It's also pet-friendly!
