Special Home in Humboldt

We loved our stay! It had lots of room for 4 adults and 2 teens and the pool table is a nice touch. It’s close to Cal Poly and absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!

Lovely home next to a Beautiful Forest

Our family of five (1 high school, 2 college) plus a service dog and pet dog loved the house and its location. Right across the street is the Arcata Community Forest, with a gorgeous redwood trees and quiet trails. Every day we happily ran or hiked in the peaceful forest. The house was spacious with 2 kitchens, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living rooms, a backyard for the dogs and a sun room for relaxing. The hosts anticipated our needs with games, pool table, street fighter arcade game, TVs, Alexa, yoga mat and roller, nearby attraction brochures, front combo door lock so no keys to remember, and all the kitchen basics. It's only 5-10 min to downtown Arcata with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Within an hour drive or so is Fern Canyon, Trinidad State Park, Avenue of the Giants, the Sequoia Zoo and redwood canopy walk, plus other great places to visit. The host had friendly, clear and fast communications. We'd love to stay here again for our next visit!

Hiked twice a day walking distance

The location was perfect, just cross the street and you’re surrounded by nature. The home had everything we needed. Spacious. We felt right at home. Communication with easy and quick. I would love to return and book the same accommodation.
