We enjoyed 3 wonderful nights. The views were spectacular and the amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend a stay here!
Beautiful house in a perfect location across from hiking and a cool playground at Arcata Park. The house was well appointed and the owners were very responsive in bringing over a battery we needed. Great stay!
We had a visiting team come to evaluate your programs and they loved staying in this beautiful and peaceful house right by the university and Redwood Park.
We loved our stay. Across the street from the community forest for many walks, close to town (Arcata is pretty small though), great game room area for teenagers, lots of space, big smart TV, and a great sunroom. Kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We really liked this place and we will definitely want to stay again!
Located right off Arcata Bay, this nice residential home was perfect for our quick trip north. Right by hiking trails and still in the Redwood forests it was a quiet nice destination.
Great location and great hosts. Family loved proximity to trail head. House was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Thank you for a great visit to northern California
Arcata is a great town, and the house is located right across from the community forest trailhead. We'd happily stay here again on our next trip to visit our CalPoly Humboldt student!
We loved our stay! It had lots of room for 4 adults and 2 teens and the pool table is a nice touch. It’s close to Cal Poly and absolutely beautiful. Thank you!!
We came to Aceata, CA for the Kinetic Sculpture race. Our family of 9 loved this house across from the redwoods. Everyone sat at the dining room table for family meals. We walked into town for race events and to visit Humboldt Pie. Everyone had a great time.
This house is located close to redwood community park, Cal Poly Humboldt, and the Arcata plaza. We had plenty of space to enjoy with our adult children and significant others. Dog friendly is a plus!
Wonderful place to stay for our whole family (kids through seniors). Clean, cozy, and convenient. Beautiful view in sun room and plenty of space for all of us to chill. Host was very responsive, friendly, and helpful.
Beautiful location with redwood forest in front of the house
We loved having this cozy family home and appreciate the owners quick replies. A bunch of restaurants just a 3 minute drive away. Would highly recommend!
Very comfortable and clean. Well appointed and stocked with everything you would need. The owner was very responsive to any questions. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.
We traveled here and met up with our adult children for a family vacation. The house was perfect, the location was exactly what we wanted. Each couple had their own room and plenty of space. We hope to be back again.
Eight adults who work in the healthcare field had a wonderful stay. We were so grateful for the walking trails among the ancient giants and the home nestled by nature. The soulfulness of the weekend was welcomed by all. Highly recommend this home.
