About this property
Downtown Arcata Garden Cottage
Right in town with easy access to everything Arcata, this two-bedroom 1 bath plus a sofa that converts to a queen size bed, our craftsman apartment is smack-dab in the heart of it all. Remodeled in the early 2000’s, the house showcases an eclectic mix of styles and is fully stocked to ensure that you have a comfortable stay. It has a large fully fenced beautiful shared yard space with a propane fire pit to keep you warm on the cool Arcata evenings. Your stay also includes our gift voucher with exclusive discounts to our partnered local businesses.
