Located right off Arcata Bay, this nice residential home was perfect for our quick trip north. Right by hiking trails and still in the Redwood forests it was a quiet nice destination.
Great location and great hosts. Family loved proximity to trail head. House was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Thank you for a great visit to northern California
Arcata is a great town, and the house is located right across from the community forest trailhead. We'd happily stay here again on our next trip to visit our CalPoly Humboldt student!
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!!
Very comfortable and clean. Well appointed and stocked with everything you would need. The owner was very responsive to any questions. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.
We traveled here and met up with our adult children for a family vacation. The house was perfect, the location was exactly what we wanted. Each couple had their own room and plenty of space. We hope to be back again.
Eight adults who work in the healthcare field had a wonderful stay. We were so grateful for the walking trails among the ancient giants and the home nestled by nature. The soulfulness of the weekend was welcomed by all. Highly recommend this home.
What a perfect place to stay to walk in the redwoods every day! Comfortable beds, great kitchen, relaxing front room and bonus pool table! We had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Best entry lock for the front door I’ve ever had at a rental, worked perfectly every time. Thanks again
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.
My family and I had a fun and relaxing stay at this wonderful property. It has a very cozy atmosphere, with the peaceful sun/sitting area on the upper floor and practically a whole apartment on the bottom floor. The location cannot be beat, with the trailhead to a beautiful, woodsy trail just across the street. Great place to walk the dog or go for a stroll, but long enough for a real hike depending on which branch of the trail you take. We also spent some time hiking at the splendid Redwood National Park, which is fairly close. In the evenings, we had a great time winding down playing pool and the Streetfighter arcade game downstairs. The home is clean and well-kept, and the host was very responsive, which we really appreciated.
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!
We enjoyed 3 wonderful nights. The views were spectacular and the amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend a stay here!
Beautiful house in a perfect location across from hiking and a cool playground at Arcata Park. The house was well appointed and the owners were very responsive in bringing over a battery we needed. Great stay!
We had a visiting team come to evaluate your programs and they loved staying in this beautiful and peaceful house right by the university and Redwood Park.
We loved our stay. Across the street from the community forest for many walks, close to town (Arcata is pretty small though), great game room area for teenagers, lots of space, big smart TV, and a great sunroom. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We really liked this place and we will definitely want to stay again!
We came to Aceata, CA for the Kinetic Sculpture race. Our family of 9 loved this house across from the redwoods. Everyone sat at the dining room table for family meals. We walked into town for race events and to visit Humboldt Pie. Everyone had a great time.
