About this property

Potter's Bungalow - Near Downtown Plaza, 3 bed

A 20% courtesy discount has been applied to the rent until May 1st, 2026 due to the new multi unit construction project underway at the property next door. Work hours 8 am - 6 pm, Monday - Saturday.

This 1936 Craftsmen inspired, vintage bungalow has been completely restored by an artist so that you can unwind in style. It has just the right combination of color and comfort. The exterior has been painted a warm, sunny yellow creating a very warm welcome. The splash of red in the kitchen adds to its rustic charm. Guests will enjoy how cozy this home feels. Less than 1000 square feet of creatively utilized space offering everything you need for a fabulous getaway. The family/dining room is open to the kitchen with breakfast bar. Enjoy hanging out watching a movie on the Smart T.V. with Cable, Play a game or dine at the cafe- style table. Three well-appointed bedrooms offer sleeping for up to 6 guests with a King, Queen and 2 twin beds. The tile work in the bathroom and one-of-a-kind light fixtures are small works of art. The bathroom has a stall shower.

Take a 12 minute stroll or use the bikes and visit the Plaza in downtown Arcata or enjoy our famous Farmer's Market for fresh, local organic offerings, food and music.

Very cozy just the perfect size for my family and dogs. Clean and had all the amenities we needed. Just wish the backyard was enclosed to let the dogs roam without a leash. Driveway is a bit difficult to back out of due to fence causing blind spot. Best to park on the street. We will most likely stay again in the future for sure!

Cute cottage with nice comfy spaces. Would have been excellent if the yard was fully enclosed, but the pup biscuits and towels to wipe feet were great. Also the shower was nice hot water and good pressure. Well appointed kitchen, we made a nice spaghetti dinner. Good location to check out the area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very comfortable. Would stay here again if the opportunity arises. The light in the shower takes awhile to brighten up, and the one over the toilet isn't bright, but otherwise all other lights are great. Suggestion for the future, a higher toilet.

The house is a cute, little place that was just about right for my family. We stayed here before 2 years ago and it was just as good the second time. The house itself is pet friendly, but as you can see in the photos the yard isn't fully fenced. Not a problem for us, but if you have a runner be aware. The house is walkable to the plaza and many restaurants.
