About this property

Tasteful Arcata Cottage

Summary:
Charming, Comfortable Vacation Home away from Home

The Space:
We invite you to stay in this beautiful, pleasant one bedroom cottage in Arcata. Elegant hardwood floors, expansive views of the redwoods and a convenient, fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing delicious spreads, provide a relaxing environment for family vacations, or romantic getaways.

This attractive cottage is in the heart of Arcata, only 3 blocks from Wildberries Marketplace, for all your grocery shopping desires, and 7 blocks from the Arcata Plaza. It’s a short walk over to Humboldt State University, where you can catch the latest shows at the Van Duzer Theatre, everything from Merle Haggard and Joan Baez to Steel Pulse.

There are numerous delectable restaurants within easy walking distance, and a coffee shop and several cafes around the corner. Every Saturday during the season there is a large Farmer’s Market on the Plaza featuring live music and fresh local food.

After a long day of exploring beautiful Humboldt County, come home to a comfortable queen size bed or relax and enjoy the view from the cozy furniture in the living room.

Arcata is only 25 minutes from majestic Redwood National Park, 15 minutes from the rugged, breathtaking coastline and a scenic drive to the Trinity River for exciting whitewater rafting. Bring a friend and come explore Arcata!

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.

Arcata Cottage

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.
