Couldn't have asked for a better Location

My daughter and I came to stay while she checked out CalPoly for her college choice. This location was perfect. Easy access to everything. Never used the bikes but it was nice to have them as an option. We did take advantage of the hot tub and laundry. The house was very clean and had enough bedding and towels. Easy check in we will be coming back several times a year to visit her throughout college and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

College Visit

We took our two upper classmen boys to Arcata to check out the area. The house was great for the 4 of us. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to campus, the redwoods, and the beach. We all utilized the hot tubs during our stay. If we’re back up this way, I would definitely book again.

Wonderful home in a very nice neighborhood

The "Downtown Drift" is an awesome place to stay! The house was very cozy and clean. Our family appreciated the ping pong table and jacuzzi in the backyard, and the close proximity to Arcata Plaza. I highly recommend this place!

Property manager was very friendly and responded quickly when we had a question. The property was located close to many shops, etc. it was very relaxing. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay. It's right across the street from the largest, most beautiful tree we had ever seen.

Great Location, but More Downtown Than Expected

Great place and great service. The pictures made it seem more secluded than it was being that it’s very close to neighbors downtown and it’s a shared backyard and walls with others guests. House was very clean, comfortable, and we enjoyed the stay. Great for anyone who wants to walk downtown to restaurants and shops.
