About this property

Optional Queen-size air mattress and pack 'n play.
Each room has a TV- (Netflix/Hulu/Disney/ESPN/Prime)
Please be aware of these old home quirks before booking:
(1) Small bathrooms- especially the upstairs bathroom, which has a pitched roof so tall people can't stand all the way upright in some areas of the room.
(2) Steep stairs. The upstairs features the laundry, one bathroom, and two bedrooms. Please take the stairs cautiously, always using the handrail and supervising children as needed. Entry into the home also requires navigating two stairs.
(3) Narrower doorways: some doors are less than the standard 36" width of modern homes.
(4) Small dining area. Best for up to 6 people, additional 4 seats at the bistro tables on the sunporch. Guests have unrestricted access to the entire home minus a very small storage room.
There is lot's of free and unrestricted street side parking, but no driveway.

About the host
Hosted by Cody Johns
I am a local Eureka resident. I love the outdoor scene in Humboldt, and enjoy white water kayaking, deep sea fishing, distance hiking, and disk golf. Frequent projects to restore and upgrade this 1906 home is a labor of love, and I'm grateful to my vacation renters who help make it possible!
Why they chose this property
The Water Wheel and sun porch are the standout features of the home. It's a quirky old place, and I try to fuse the Victorian charm with modern upgrades for comfort and practicality.
