Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I have had a love affair with Arcata since I moved here over 35 years ago to attend Humboldt State University. I graduated and could not leave this special place; our progressive kinda quirky little university town is like none other. The abundance of natural beauty just minutes away in any direction is phenomenal: the tallest most majestic redwood trees in the world, miles of unspoiled rugged coastline, sand dunes, lagoons, six beautiful rivers, ever changing Humboldt Bay, and our world famous Arcata Marsh Wildlife Refuge, to name a few. The redwood coast offers diverse recreational opportunities which attract visitors from around the world. Since opening in 2004, I have had the pleasure of hosting a good number of those visitors at Rose Court Cottage and the other Arcata Stay Lodging Network accommodations, guiding them to the unique features of our area. I am pleased to have developed friendships with guests who return again and again to visit their HSU students or family living in Arcata, attend our many festivals and events, conduct business, or return to a getaway that they love. Arts, culture, music, theater, shopping, food and drink, being "green" before it was groovy, a lively downtown Plaza, architecture, history, and a friendly embracing community make Arcata a destination not to be missed. It is the perfect base from which to make day trips to experience the natural wonders of our region, and return at the end of the day to their Arcata "home away from home."
Why the Owner Chose Arcata
I own and operate Arcata Stay Lodging network, created in 2004, and manage Forest View Stay for my owner partner, an Arcata resident. Our Arcata Stay Mission is to provide upscale vacation rental accommodations walking distance to the downtown plaza and Humboldt State University that provide our visiting guests the most positive lodging experience possible.

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.
