The Space:
We invite you to stay in this beautiful, pleasant one bedroom cottage in Arcata. Elegant hardwood floors, expansive views of the redwoods and a convenient, fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing delicious spreads, provide a relaxing environment for family vacations, or romantic getaways.

This attractive cottage is in the heart of Arcata, only 3 blocks from Wildberries Marketplace, for all your grocery shopping desires, and 7 blocks from the Arcata Plaza. It’s a short walk over to Humboldt State University, where you can catch the latest shows at the Van Duzer Theatre, everything from Merle Haggard and Joan Baez to Steel Pulse.

I stayed in this unit for four days. I was in town to visit family and friends. The location was perfect, walking distance to all of the main shops and restaurants in town. I had plenty of space to enjoy relaxing after a long day as well as host my parents for dinner. The unit was stocked with plenty of cooking supplies, shower needs and even laundry. I will stay here again and 100% recommend this property.

Arcata Cottage

This was our second stay in just over a year. It was as excellent as the first time in June of last year. Location was perfect. Neighborhood was quiet, warm, and friendly. Perfect for walking downtown to the square and shops. As last year the purpose was to visit our Granddaughter who attends Cal Poly Humboldt.

Spot On

The property is exactly as described. The photos are accurate, as is the description. The cottage is cozy and is centrally located. It has all the basic amenities (including salt, pepper and cooking oil!). The bath towels are fluffy as was the Duvet. Coffee shop is a block away. Gyro and Pizza is within 2 blocks. Walking to Cal Poly is super convenient and takes less than 5 min walk. The downtown Plaza, with its shops is about 10 min walk. Freeway access is within 5 min drive. I would, without hesitation, recommend the cottage to any parents visiting their child at Cal Poly. Mary, the host, is very responsive and flexible.Poverty is evident in Arcata, however, spots of sunshine and happiness can be found scattered throughout. Some of the homes fronts are well cared for and some are rundown. Potential to become a vibrant small town with an influx from the Bay Area, are evident to me. It could become a wonderful retirement community. Currently, homelessness is easily seen. There are significantly number of Canabis dispensaries.

Worst vacation rental experience

Bed was hideously uncomfortable. A yard sale mattress would have been better. Picture of the yard gave you the impression it was fenced and safe for you dogs. It was not and on a very busy street. We have always had wonderful vacation rental experiences. This place maybe great for partying young people who aren't bringing dogs and have good backs...
