About this apartment rental

Summary:
Charming, Comfortable Vacation Home away from Home

The Space:
We invite you to stay in this beautiful, pleasant one bedroom cottage in Arcata. Elegant hardwood floors, expansive views of the redwoods and a convenient, fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing delicious spreads, provide a relaxing environment for family vacations, or romantic getaways.

This attractive cottage is in the heart of Arcata, only 3 blocks from Wildberries Marketplace, for all your grocery shopping desires, and 7 blocks from the Arcata Plaza. It’s a short walk over to Humboldt State University, where you can catch the latest shows at the Van Duzer Theatre, everything from Merle Haggard and Joan Baez to Steel Pulse.

There are numerous delectable restaurants within easy walking distance, and a coffee shop and several cafes around the corner. Every Saturday during the season there is a large Farmer’s Market on the Plaza featuring live music and fresh local food.

After a long day of exploring beautiful Humboldt County, come home to a comfortable queen size bed or relax and enjoy the view from the cozy furniture in the living room.

Arcata is only 25 minutes from majestic Redwood National Park, 15 minutes from the rugged, breathtaking coastline and a scenic drive to the Trinity River for exciting whitewater rafting. Bring a friend and come explore Arcata!

Bed was hideously uncomfortable. A yard sale mattress would have been better. Picture of the yard gave you the impression it was fenced and safe for you dogs. It was not and on a very busy street. We have always had wonderful vacation rental experiences. This place maybe great for partying young people who aren't bringing dogs and have good backs...

The cottage met all of our needs and was as advertised. It was lovely to be able to walk to nearby stores and the Plaza in 5-10 minutes.

We had a weekend planned that involved busy days and relaxed evenings. With Wildberries Grocery Store being so close, we could grab a premade meal, zap it in the microwave and settle in for a relaxing evening with our dog by ourside. Lovely.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The big windows and sky lights let in lots of natural light. The deck is a great place for morning coffee and a book. Excellent location for walking to restaurants and shops, and easy drive to the many wonderful beaches in the area. Thanks so much, we hope to be back before too long!

This cozy and very tidy home allowed my husband and me to spend two days in the area. We particularly enjoy the Saturday farmer’s market where families and people of all ages come to spend an hour or more not only buying local produce, but by spreading their blankets or bringing a folding chair while listening to live music chatting with each other, and even dancing. Children play with hula hoops. It’s festive and fun. There are also some good restaurants. We plan to rent this home again next year.

Very comfortable and immaculately clean (including the cubbards!). Well-equipped kitchen and bath (washcloths! Kleenex!) Very comfortable bed and good bedside lighting (readers will understand). Great location. An easy walk to downtown Arcata or Cal Poly.

Mary's place was clean, comfortable and equipped with all the basics we need for cooking and relaxing during our week long stay in Arcata. The bed was comfortable. Parking off road in the driveway in front of the unit was very convenient. We were a short drive or 8 block walk from the downtown area around the square and from the excellent (used) book store (Tin Mailman) and from the Natural Food Co-Op which had a great selection of organic foods plus prepared salads, soups and a food bar with options for take home dinners when we did not feel like cooking. We did a lot of hiking: the trails in the nearby (5 minute drive) Community Redwood Forest were beautiful and so too were the walks in the nearby marsh area on the outskirts of Arcata.

Clean and cozy flat. The host was easy to communicate with via email. Nice light in the flat. Plus, the location was the best, with everything in easy walking distance. My only comment is that the car traffic from the nearby freeway was a little loud. But it wasn't a deal breaker, just something to be aware of. I'd totally stay here again.

We had a great time! The location was perfect - easy to get to the 101 for day-time exploration around Humboldt and the Redwoods, yet we could also walk to the downtown area for dinner. The property is clean and has everything you need! Literally the only thing that needs to be changed is the couch - we sunk straight in and didn't find it comfortable to relax there. Thanks for everything - we had a great time in Arcata!

We stayed for three nights. The property was small, cozy and well maintained. It is a short walk to the plaza and around the corner from a great coffee shop. Only drawback was no place to store clothes, but we will stay here again next time we are in Arcata.

Cottage is very comfortable for 2 people. It was stocked with the basics and is attached to another rental but the renters were quiet. Nice location for walking to plaza, restaurants, etc. The traffic can be noisy at times and the yard needs some TLC but we enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed staying here while spending a week in Arcata. The house is lovely, very quiet, comfortable, and private, lots of natural light and beautiful views from the living room and kitchen. The private deck is a great place to relax with a cup of coffee! We also enjoyed watching birds in the trees just outside the window. The house was very clean and well stocked. The property manager was courteous and helpful. We look forward to staying here again!

Fresh, clean property. Most things felt new. Kitchen and bathroom were well supplied. We stayed for a week and the primary challenge was that for our two suitcases there was no dresser or luggage racks available. Although the wi-fi was password protected, the password used suggests that it is not changed and thus not secure from previous occupants. We used a VPN on our devices. Similarly, the door lock code probably is not changed so we felt not as safe. Suggest changing code frequently.
