The Fieldbrook Retreat

Welcome to The Fieldbrook Retreat! This quiet getaway is ideal for both nature lovers and urban travelers. Just eleven minutes from the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) and twenty minutes from Arcata Plaza, this six-and-a-half-acre property is surrounded by redwood trees and tucked away in the quiet community of Fieldbrook. Come read a book on the back deck, stargaze in the hot tub, or stroll through the redwoods to find the salmon stream that cuts through the property.

This listing is for five bedrooms in the main area of our house. The main floor has two bedrooms and a full bath. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor — one master bedroom with a full master bath and two bedrooms that share a third full bath. Our kitchen is stocked with major cooking and baking utensils such as pots, pans, measuring cups, etc., as well as some specialty appliances such as a KitchenAid mixer, Vitamix blender, and Keurig coffee maker.

Our location is perfect for those looking to explore the North Coast, as it offers easy access to all of the natural attractions in the Humboldt area. A forty-five-minute drive up the coast will bring you to Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, a World Heritage Site home to giant redwoods, waterfalls, and herds of elk. We are also located just ten minutes from the ocean and fifteen minutes from surf. If visiting during the summer months, Willow Creek and Trinity River offer pristine swimming holes. Our house manual contains more detailed information regarding the attractions local to our area.

The house itself is Tudor in style with craftsman elements. I am a retired builder and built the house myself as a home where I could raise my four children. All four are grown now and raising children of their own.

Your booking includes starter amenities such as Keurig coffee cups, propane for the gas grill, shampoos, toilet paper, and laundry detergent. We have a washing machine and dryer downstairs that we invite you to use as needed.

We have a tenant named Andrea who lives in the downstairs lock off with her twelve-year-old daughter. Her apartment is self-contained with its own kitchen, bath, and separate entry. You likely won’t meet one another, but you may see her on her way to and from the house, or when doing laundry. She and her daughter are friendly, so feel free to say hi!

No pets at this time, sorry. Thank you for understanding.

No events allowed unless approved. Our Ring doorbell is equipped with a camera in order to monitor the number of cars parked in the driveway.

We ask that you respect our neighbors across the valley and try to keep loud noise down after 9pm.

Smoking permitted outside only, please. Ashtrays are provided on the back deck. Thank you for helping us keep our home clean.

A note on sleeping arrangements: our home sleeps 10 guests comfortably, but can accommodate up to 14 or 15, depending on how willing you are to utilize floor space and common areas. The house has five bedrooms, four of which have cal king mattresses and one of which has a queen. We also have three air mattresses–one queen and two twins. With the air mattresses set up, the house can sleep up to 14, and with the full-length couch in the living room included, we could even feasibly sleep 15. We also have a "pack n play" crib in one of the bedroom closets if anyone is traveling with an infant.
