Ceiling fan made a noise and I'm a lite sleeper, so did not use it. A blanket for the living area couch would be nice.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 23, 2026
We appreciate you pointing out these details. We’re sorry the ceiling fan noise made it difficult to use, especially as a light sleeper. The suggestion of having a blanket available for the living room couch is also a thoughtful one, and we’ll keep both points in mind as we look for ways to make the space more comfortable.

Cute place! Loved that there are a few redwood trees on the grounds. So close to a hidden gem- Arcata community forest!! The best pictures from my whole trip are from the park/trailhead just down the street!!! I missed the check in email (totally on me), but they texted me back right away. I had no issues the rest of the time so I didn’t really need to reach them, but I think that’s a sign they put in a lot of effort beforehand. I had a mid-size SUV and it fit perfectly in the spot, but I wouldn’t recommend a truck or trailer. It also right next to a somewhat main road, so loud cars/trucks were sometimes annoying. The road noise was a small trade off for the great location.

We love that you got to enjoy the little redwoods on the grounds and discovered the Arcata Community Forest right nearby! It’s great to hear our team could help quickly when you missed the check in message, and we appreciate the helpful notes about parking and road noise as well. Sounds like the location made the small tradeoff worthwhile, and we’d be happy to have you back!

The property manager was absolutely outstanding. Communication was impeccable – responsive and individualized. The place was spotless and extremely comfortable. I am quite chemically sensitive and this place was a perfect fit for me. I did bring my own soaps and dish soap. Beautiful location and very convenient couldn’t be better.

The place was perfect for our visit. Walking distance to Humboldt campus and downtown. Cute little cottage with all the appropriate accommodations to make for a lovely stay. The property managers were quick to respond to any questions we had. We met the property owner as well who was lovely and made us feel very welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a nice spot close to downtown Arcata.

This was an adorable well kept unit moments away from the Arcata Community forest. It had a small kitchenette, which was perfect for small meals, a grill outside for bigger ones and a very comfortable bed. I would highly recommend it, especially if you like to wake up and take a walk among the redwoods.
