About the host
Hosted by Jiajia Zheng
I’m an Environmental Sustainability scientist living between Santa Barbara and Humboldt California. My husband John and I own this short-rental unit in Arcata, CA just next to the Community Forest and Cal Poly Humboldt.
Why they chose this property
Our family lives in Eureka/Arcata. We sometimes go fishing in Humboldt Bay, the ocean and the Klamath River, catching halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and salmon. Our house is right next to Arcata Community Forest, a perfect place for hiking, mountain biking or walking your dog.
What makes this property unique
Our place is located right across the street from Arcata Community Forest and a few mins of drive from Cal Poly and downtown Arcata. It's a perfect spot to stay if you are visiting the university, the city center or to hike / mountain bike in the forest. We also have a beautiful sun room with great view to hang out with your family or friends!
