The lemon haven in Arcata

This charming, historic home overlooks Arcata. It is a pleasant walk to downtown, where you can enjoy the numerous restaurants, farmers market and festivals on the Plaza. You can spend the day exploring, perusing the shelves of books at the Tin Can Mailman, checking out Sci-Fi night at the Arcata Theater Lounge or going to explore the majestic redwoods and wild coastline. It is just a short 2 block walk to Humboldt State University, where you can watch great shows at the Van Duzer Theater. The Arcata Community forest is only 3 blocks away with miles of hiking trails through the redwoods.

Our home has a spacious rolling lawn for bocce ball, or relaxing outside with a cold drink under the tree in the back yard. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen for cooking delicious meals for two, or the whole family. You will find fun dishes for all occasions in addition to a rice cooker, crock pot, blender and so much more!

There is a luxurious king size bed in one bedroom. The second bedroom has two extra long twin beds for separate sleeping, or if you would prefer to have them together, they make a second king bed. The yard is full fenced for your four legged friends, so come on out and find all the comforts of home and much more in our charming lemon haven!

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.

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.

Excellent, cozy accommodations with comfortable beds, a well functioning heater for the cold nights, and all amenities, including a paella pan we put to good use. The backyard was huge. The shower was modern with a hand held device and rainfall showerhead. We walked into town every day; great location for leaving the car at home. Mary, our host, was quick to respond, helpful & understanding - 5 stars for her alone! Would definitely stay here again when visiting Arcata.

Cozy, convenient Arcata home

Wonderful, well-appointed & maintained home with large fenced yard that was perfect for my husband and me. Our doggie loved it too! Was close to the Humboldt campus and yet set in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting relatives for Thanksgiving. Would return again in a heartbeat and recommend highly.

Perfect Place

We really enjoyed our stay in this quaint, clean, and well thought out property! We had everything we needed and slept great. The fully fenced backyard was huge and perfect for those traveling with a pet. We loved the proximity to the college, the community forest, and even downtown. Everything was a short walk away, although an uphill walk back from the plaza. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return!

Wonderful and comfortable home in Arcata

We had a great visit and really liked this home. It was spacious, super comfortable, and had lots of extra touches that made our visit even more enjoyable. The home is also in a great location; walking distance to the university and town square. When we had a question about our rental, we were provided with amazing customer service. This is a great home to stay in if you are in the Arcata area.

A great place to rest

We were in town visiting our college kids for the weekend. The Lemon Haven is in a fantastic neighborhood, two blocks from the Community Forest! We brought our small dog, who was able to freely roam the fenced-in yard while we enjoyed the amazing backyard patio. Lots of kitchenware and an overall well-equipped house. We are looking forward to staying here again.

Review

We had a great time. Only thing I would advise is that if your taking you dogs, the transients that walk by the house attempt to mess with your dogs. Other than that no complaints. The house was great inside and out. It's super close to the redwoods and other great places. I would definitely recommend 👌
