Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review, we really appreciate it!
We loved this beautiful home in Arcata. The location was very convenient to the 101 with easy access to restaurants and a grocery store. The inside was as pictured and the kitchen was well stocked. The house was bright, clean and comfortable and we had an easy time parking and checking in. The welcome guide on the kitchen counter was helpful as well. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review, we really appreciate it!
This beautiful property is well maintained and centrally located for the university, the city forest, the down town, and the ocean. We had a lovely stay.
Perfect location to see Redwood National Park and Humboldt State Park. Nice neighborhood. Comfy and beautiful interior. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful location, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable and quiet. Aubrey was a friendly and conscientious host with tips on where to eat, drink and walk/hike. A great price, too!
The house is immaculate and like new. We loved the ambiance and appreciated how many amenities were available. We were very comfortable and loved our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean and nicely furnished. The beds and pillows were comfy for sleeping, we had everything we needed for cooking, and Audrey was responsive and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay and hope to return the next time we’re in town.
We loved our stay! It was very clean, well stocked, and convenient! Aubrey was great to work with; you can tell she and her husband take great pride in their place. We enjoyed the games they have for guests and we all slept great in the comfortable beds. I would 100% this lovely home! Thank you for a great weekend!
We stayed here for sisters graduation from Cal Poly Humboldt, its walking distance from campus.
The house was clean, kitchen had all you can need, even stocked with coffee.
There is no assigned parking but plenty of street parking right in front of the house door.
This home is beautiful and very clean. We loved all the remodeling and the space felt even larger due to wonderful decorating. I absolutely recommend this home if you are staying in the area. The location was not initially desirable, but after checking in it was very peaceful. The location is beside a restaurant and bar, but we did not have any issues with noise, etc. The owner was fabulous and met all our questions with quick responses, even while she was traveling herself!
Amazing vacation rental. Super clean and tidy and modern decor. Location is perfect!! No issues with the parking because owner provided parking pases for our 2 cars!! Everything seemed to be thought out carefully for the renters comfort. We had a minor problem with the shower during our 7 day stay and the host was quick to answer my messages and provide a solution! Amazing. Honestly super recommended
This very clean house was a perfect choice for my family as a stop on our road trip along the coast. The condition is like new and there is a convenient parking spot right in front of the house. Although neighbors are close and it’s on a city street, it was quiet overnight. We had great Mexican take out close by at Raliberto’s Taco Shop and breakfast at Los Bagels.
Very comfortable house! And a new experience for us of being on a street in town. Enjoyed very much being close to shops, places to eat, quiet in the house at night, in spite of being in town. Nice central spot to travel around the general area. We enjoyed seeing the students coming and going to classes. Young energy everywhere! Met no problems!
