Delightful in Every Way
This historic home has been updated in the most careful, respectful, & clever way. While millwork & wood floors have been restored to retain the home’s original charm, new counters, cabinets, shower surround, kitchen appliances, and kitchen & bath backsplash have updated the look and functionality of the home. The home is in an ideal location for enjoying Eureka and, for me, visiting family in the area. The alley-access garage for parking my car was a lovely bonus. The gardener who came to mow the lawn came to the door to introduce himself & let us know he would be working on the property. It was such a nice courteous gesture. I can hardly wait to come back and stay here on future visits!

Very nice place and location - only one small suggestion
Very clean, very nice, cute cottage in Eureka. Plenty of room for 4 of us. Had some concerns, hearing that the area was in a bit of a downturn and that there are some questionable ares of the city. But this house was in a nice residential, clean area. We spent our 2 days there traveling to the redwood forests, so we were gone most of the time. What we did see of the town was nice. There were a couple of run-down areas and some questionable folks hanging around there, but most cities have this as well. Overall we were really pleased with Eureka. Lost Coast Brewery was good for a drink and dinner. The only suggestion I have for the home owners is that it would be nice if there were some "essentials" there for cooking - aluminum foil, salt, pepper, cooking oil - things like that, so that the renters don't have to buy these for a few day stay. It's possible that the owners don't want to provide this because these things can be taken by renters (and they may have), so I understand. They did have coffee and dish and dishwasher soap, so some things were provided. Other than this minor "complaint", everything was great - would stay here again.

Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback, Peter. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location of our home. I am sorry, but the home may vary if our owner will provide a coffee filter in our home. Please be advised that items such as coffee, coffee filters, seasonings, cooking spices, tin foil, plastic wrap, etc., are not stocked/restocked (although sometimes, guests do leave these items behind for the next guest). We recommend either bringing these types of things with you or stopping at the store after you've gone to the house to take a quick inventory. We thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve our guests' experiences. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fabulous getaway in the future.

Great stay
This was a cute, very clean rental- perfect for a family of 4 with a dog. The kitchen had a great island. The neighborhood was very walkable and the back yard was great for our dog. There were nice games and a chess board in the family room, which our kids loved!

Fantastic Location
We would most definitely love to come back to this gem. It was great to be able to walk just a block to the restaurants and shops. We enjoyed dinner at Annie's and cones at Fresh Freeze. The place was very clean, the kitchen was well outfitted, and we loved the fully fenced yard.

A gas stove and forced air heating kept us cozy during our winter trip. A short walk to Henderson Center was fun.

bike & hike & explore-all out-of-doors!
clean, comfortable stay, enjoyed the shaker style home and yard, secure garage and laundry on site. Very convenient to unique shops a stroll away! Bike the 15 mile flat bike path along the shoreline, ride right from the house! Bike through the towering redwoods in the Avenue of the Giants, start from "Pepperwood" on a quiet side road; enjoy the large Native Plant gardens at Botanical gardens, & explore their many trails that take you to beautiful overlooks!

This would have been a 5 star place if not for the beds. They were much too hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise, we enjoyed this place very much.

Fun Cool get away
It was a sweet little house in a great location & our pup loved the yard. The kitchen was a bit understocked with supplies. There was only one trash bag for the kitchen for a week stay & the toilet paper was short & no tissue, so we had to go buy some supplies to last the week. Shower head kept coming off the water tube & had really poor pressure. But the house was well kept up & we had a great time & enjoyed the great location & cool weather!

Lovely retreat in cute neighborhood
We had a great stay in Eureka. The house was clean and the yard lovely to hang out in. Managers were responsive and helpful when we had an issue turning on the heat (easy to do, just couldn't figure it out :) The only thing I would say is that the kitchen could be a little more "stocked" with dishes/cooking supplies/paper items. We'll definitely stay there again.

Cozy Cottage
I absolutely loved this little house. It was cozy and quiet. I loved the layout of the home and it had so many cute charming features. I will definitely return to stay again, it was local to a lot of great restaurants and not far from hiking and the beaches. Easy with check in/check out. Highly recommend this darling spot!

Cute Bungalow
This was a great place to stay right in the middle of Eureka. I’m very familiar with Humboldt (used to live there) and I like to come back at least a few times a year. This time I came with my best friend, brother and 5 month old daughter. This house was in a great location. It was cute and cozy with a nice backyard. Close to lots of fun activities. I would definitely stay again.

Eureka bungalow
Very clean; well supplied kitchen. Loved the office in the back of the house. Communication with manager/owner was nonexistent. I requested (twice) that bedding be washed in hot water prior to staying there due to severe dust mite allergies, no response, and request wasn't fulfilled. I have not ever had a problem communicating needs to VRBO owners/managers, so couldn't understand why this was so complicated other than they had a 3rd party (cleaning company) that never responded...fees were higher than normal because of that, but worth it during COVID
