About this property
Fenced Yard, Pet Friendly, Cozy Cottage , Great Kitchen, Short Walk to Cal Poly
This comfortable two bedroom cottage is efficiently tucked away in the back corner of a large lot on a country cul-de-sac affording the convenience of a 10 minute walk to town, a 7 minute walk to Cal Poly Humboldt, a 3 minute drive to 101 and the quiet privacy of a rolling rural road. The refurbished original wood floors bring a classic yet new golden beauty to every room. The updated kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and prosumer Bosch and Viking appliances brings equal delight to preparing quick small meals for one or two as it does to being the central gathering point serving up a banquet of varied dishes when entertaining a moderate crowd. Open the sliding glass door and you effectively extend the kitchen to include a propane grill, an additional table and chairs and a long deck allowing up to 20 people to bask in the beautiful summer weather at the same time. Steps at the end of the deck lead to a fully enclosed yard for your exclusive use during your stay so your furry family members can bask in the beautiful summer sun with you so do not feel left out. The driveway next to the cottage fits two cars comfortably. Should you have extra guests, street parking is free, convenient, readily available, and restricted only by your imagination (and common sense, of course. We still live in a civilized society). A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a pool table and well-equipped exercise room.

Nice and quiet, wonderful for being so close to the freeway. My contact was very helpful and it had a nice, well secured yard for the birds we were traveling with.
Great place as promised, kitchen stocked, clean, nicely laid out, super close to Humboldt State. Prop manager easily available if needed, which we didn't - no issues at all
Arrived earlier enough to cook dinnerHad everything with us, and host had dishes pots and pans and some essential spices.Comfy not formal relax neighborhood.Its weathered (outside)but super chill clean and spacious comfortable true to the pictures! Would rent Again!
Quiet and clean. It is older and no frills. Definitely a bit tricky to locate as it is located behind another home. We really only slept and showered. Did not spend a ton of time. Quiet at night and appreciated being able to have our dogs. .
Ok stay if on a budget. Shabby and in need of extensive rehab—inside and out. The place was clean enough but I did have to wipe down the inside of the fridge, which had crumbs and crusty stuff (yuck). Also had to contact the host for basic toiletries for the bathroom. Beds, pillows, linens were clean but were very basic. There was a must smell inside the house that we couldn’t air out. Outdoor space not really as advertised—smallish side deck, bbq grill is very small and we ended up not using it as the igniter was supposedly broken. The host did provide a lighter for our use. Fenced in yard with scraggly grass. Ok for dogs. Overall ambiance is not what we expected. Same with the front. We did not get a cozy, cottage vibe at all when we arrived. I guess if you’re just looking for a basic place to sleep this might work for you. Just not what we were looking for. I expected more based on the other reviews.
