Tucked away in the desirable Fickle Hill area, discover this charming studio cottage located just a short distance from Cal Poly Humboldt and Arcata Plaza. Hiking and mountain biking trails are accessible just minutes out the front door. Walk a few blocks to the campus of Cal Poly Humboldt or head into Arcata where you'll find all of the conveniences including multiple restaurants, shops, massage therapists, cafes, bookshops, and much more. Many of the neighboring houses are charming Victorians and Craftsmans, so you'll have lots to look at on your walks.

We stayed at the Redwood Roost for three nights and it was a fantastic experience. The rental is small, but well stocked and very comfortable - perfect for two people. It's located in a nice neighborhood with convenient access to the university and the community forest with lots of hiking trails. It's a short distance to downtown, too. We will definitely look into this rental again the next time we're in town.

This property is beautiful! The grounds with towering redwoods (but open and sunny too) is stunning. Sarah and Steve were great hosts and the little cottage had everything we needed. Perfect!

Clean and comfortable place. Great location and perfect for visiting Arcata (Cal Poly Humboldt). In the redwoods and access to Arcata community forest up the street. Quiet, cozy, and comfortable. Second time staying here and would book again for future visits.

Clean and comfortable place. Nice location and very quiet. It is small but the description of the unit is accurate. Just the right amenities for the size. Kitchen amenities are limited but includes small refrigerator, hot water maker, toaster oven, and plug in cook top (single burner). Decent kitchen utensils and dishes. Comfortable space, affordable (not overpriced), and definitely would stay here again.

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved staying here. It was very cute and compact. Perfect for the two of us! The road could be slightly noisy at night but was the only small downside to this great little place!

It was a small quaint little studio that suited our needs just fine. Perfect for an easy place to stay when visiting family.

If you like redwoods, this place is ideally located. A 50 yard walk to miles and miles of trails (hking and biking) in the Arcata Community Forest. Small place, about the size of a small hotel room. I was there for a couple days visitng my son at Cal Poly and it was just what I needed.

It is a sweet place and pretty quiet on beautiful landscaped property.
I was disappointed in the deck with no view but furniture is comfy and can see lovely flowers and birds.
Bed is very comfy but it is a double and I think we need a queen.
Hosts are lovely and its close to everything.
Will recommend to our kids when they come up.

I gave this a 3 because there was no coffee maker only a drip filter for coffee. And no microwave.
10.0 / 10.0
Very nice, but if you're tall you will need to duck! Ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom are very low. Very close to a busy road but the noise wasn't too bad. Great choice for ONE person and a pet.

This is a good minimal home-base for visiting Arcata. Smooth check-in, clean, everything as expected. Worth noting that winter storms can be a bit noisy in this room, as it's a mother-in-law type unit. Shower pressure / hot water excellent!

Lovely clean cottage right in the woods. Beautiful grounds to walk our little dog. Absolutely adored this little nest in the forest 💚🌲
4.0 / 10.0
This studio had a great location. It was quiet and clean. The bed was pretty comfortable. Excellent indoor shower stall.
Overall we found the unit to be small. It had somewhat of a kitchen that might be serviceable for a light breakfast, but I would not want to prepare a meal there.
In my opinion it might be best suited for a single traveler.

The property was perfect for a place for two located close to town. The trails right across the street in the community forest were beautiful for my morning walks and everything we needed was right in the area.

Great Place
My wife and I stayed at this property Oct1-6, 2021 for our 35th Anniversary. We wanted to stay away from crowds and this was the perfect place.
The studio is small but comfortable. It’s close to everything, specially the beautiful Redwood Park, just across the street. We really enjoyed walking in this park.
The property owners, Sarah and Steve were great. Thank you for your hospitality and the wine.
I recommend this property

The studio is in a great location. I stayed here to visit the Redwood national and state parks. The Arcata community forest is a gem as well.Although the studio is small, it has all the amenities one would require for a short stay. The shower could use some thorough cleaning though. There was visible mold all over and it bothered me every time I saw it.

We loved our stay; the studio was its own separate building so we had privacy but also room on the patio to relax. Cute, comfortable, place that had everything we needed for a nice visit.

Love the area!
This is such a perfect location. You can visit the redwoods and so many beaches. The Redwood Roost is small but is still perfect for two people. I was able to work remote from this location the wifi was very strong and they have a great outdoor seating area to work from.
