We spent three nights in the Lemon House (the lemons are great!), It is an older house, very clean and comfortable. There is a beautiful patio area down some stairs behind the house. The kitchen is one of the best equiped we have found in terms of having everything you need for cooking. I enjoyed used the gas grill on the patio and the kitchen to prepare several meals, and our breakfasts each day. We would definitely stay there again some time.

This little hideaway is a well kept secret. It was clean, well lit, and the beds are comfortable. Most importantly for us the yard is pet friendly and we were able to bring our dog and play catch with him in the backyard. I would not leave him alone in the yard because of the front gate and the nature of its closure he could probably bump that with his nose, but this would not keep us from staying there again!Mary answered all our questions promptly and we slept good at night!

This is a wonderful family-friendly and pet-friendly home and property. The house is charming, well furnished and roomy. The back yard is fabulous, and we used it many times during our 2-week stay for grilling shrimp to eating pizza to just hanging out and visiting. The yard is fenced so our CA family could visit with their two dogs. Mary is a superior host in every category of hosting! We've stayed at her other properties over the years and have never ever been disappointed. Thank you, Mary!!

Lemon Haven was wonderful! The house was cute, clean and in a great location - easy walk to town and HSU. If it wasn't raining, we would have taken advantage of the cute yard. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay.

This place is adorable. It has everything you need. Beautiful property. Nice back yard with BBQ and seating. We didn't use the house to it's fullest extent, but we wanted to live there permanently. The location is great. Walking distance to town, but your away from the congestion of downtown. Excellent VRBO experience. Thank you.

Cozy and Great Location

Perfect home to visit Arcata with our fur-baby and teens!! We explored campus and town all walking from this sweet home! We baked cookies, made cookies, enjoyed the cozy living room, slept well in the nice beds, and enjoyed.
Perfect yard for Harvey!!
Great cooking supplies.

When the house key wasn't where it was supposed to be the host picked up (their phone) and was able to resolve the issue quickly. The property was well maintained for its age, spacious for a family of 4 (including teenagers!), and included many extras (cooking utensils, soaps/toiletries, books to read, games to play) to make our stay comfortable. Lots of electric plugs to charge devices and get ready to explore Arcata, Eureka, and beyond. Beds were comfy and having two rooms for sleeping was very nice for the price point. Would definitely feel comfortable bringing a doggo next time. The house location was convenient and while close to Humboldt and off a major street, it was quiet and felt safe. The window shades were great once you figured out how to use them and having a mudroom/entry was nice to drop off things up-front. All-around an excellent stay!
