Exterior view of Forest View Stay, short walk to Humboldt State University
Location: Arcata, North Coast, California, USA (University town on Humboldt Bay, minutes north of Eureka.)
Accommodations: Second Story Suite, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Arcata is located on Humboldt Bay just 7 miles north of Eureka, 10 minutes to beaches, and less than an hour's drive to State and National Redwood Parks, home to the tallest trees in the world.
Enjoy lush redwood groves, miles of pristine coastline, Humboldt Bay, a famous wildlife refuge, and a lively town square in arty, progressive Arcata. Between scenic Humboldt Bay and forested hills, our university town is a popular destination for visitors to the redwoods and is the ideal "home base" from which to take recreational day trips or attend events on the Arcata Plaza, including the Kinetic Sculpture Race, Oyster Festival, Pastels On The Plaza, North Country Fair, Arts Alive, and Saturday Farmers Market.
Within a 15-30 minute drive from Arcata, visit Old Town Eureka's Waterfront Victorian Heritage District, the Victorian Village of Ferndale, or the quaint fishing village of Trinidad, Trinidad Head and beaches, and Patrick's Point State Park.
A proud member of ARCATA STAY Lodging Network of Exceptional Accommodations(view the ARCATA STAY website to see availability calendar and more photos), FOREST VIEW STAY is located in the quiet Bay View neighborhood, two blocks from Humboldt State University and 7 blocks from the downtown area. Because of its proximity to HSU, FOREST VIEW STAY is ideal for parents traveling with or visiting students, academics or guests conducting business on campus, not to mention visitors vacationing on the redwoods coast.
This studio suite is on the second story and is situated off of a lovely garden to the rear of the owners elegant restored 1922 craftsman bungalow. FOREST VIEW STAY has rear property access adjacent to the off street parking area where its staircase leads up to a private deck overlooking a pond and waterfall below and Arcata's community forest to the east. Sliding entry doors open into a spacious, bright, and cheerful hideaway.
The interior is appointed in a rich palette of warm earth tones, enhanced by beautiful oriental carpets and fine art prints. An antique desk provides the ideal workspace for guests using their laptop commuters with our wireless connection. Multi-level windows, vaulted ceiling, French doors, and an open floor plan impart a lofty and spacious ambiance.
FOREST VIEW STAY has a dining area with gas fireplace, living room with a sofa bed which can sleep two, bath with tub/shower combination, recessed sleeping alcove with an antique queen bed and large closet, and north facing veranda.

It was wonderful to visit my son here at HSU and be able to cook him his favorite meals. Forest View is the most perfect place for me--I will be back!

I came back to Arcata to see old friends, having lived here 5 years. This town, with its friendly, caring people, is truly magical, as is Forest View! I have long dreamed of falling asleep to the sound of running water. Thank you.

What a rich experience! You have paid attention to all the details. I wish my husband could have come with me--it is quite extravagant to have the place to myself, although I very much enjoyed the solitude. I will be back. Thanks for the care and attention that were apparent in every area.

What a great difference from a hotel or B&B. Comfortable, clean, relaxing--an easy place to work from. Great pizza at Pete's NY Pizza and awesome steak at Folie Douce. I look forward to staying here again, and trying the other Arcata Stay locations.
