Description of Cottage

A door separates the bedroom from the living area which allows privacy for guests using the sofa bed. Guests will be able to enjoy a good nights sleep on the queen sized bed which features a Sterns and Foster ultra-plush pillow top mattress, down pillows and fine linens. Paintings by the owner, an accomplished artist, enhance the bedroom

Parkside Cottage is an amazing place to stay. Pristinely clean, close to town but quiet, lowest outdoor deck for morning coffee. Cozy, charming and comfortable inside with all I needed. Jim is a fantastic host going above and beyond to help as needed.

We had a great stay. Love this location for convenience to Cal Poly and downtown Arcata. Apartment was spotless and beautifully appointed. It was very comfortable and quiet. My only suggestion for improvement is to replace the sleeper sofa mattress (the mattress was so uncomfortable my son ended up folding it back up and sleeping on the sofa instead.). Highly recommend for 2 people.

Quiet location in Arcata within close distance to amenities and base to explore Redwoods in Humbodt county. Cottage layout and amenities are well thought out to make the stay pleasant, and restful. Kudos to Jim and Christine for being great hosts and sharing this cottage for travellers or visitors.

Everything about this little place was just perfect! It has everything you need to be comfortable. Perfect for 1-2 people. The nieghborhood is nice and quiet, the hosts were in communication ahead of time to make sure I had what I needed. I work virtually and needed to work for part of my stay, so they tested the internet to make sure I could attend my virtual meetings. It worked perfectly! I plan to stay again on my next trip to Arcata!

We really liked this place. Good size for two. The cottage was very clean and had a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was well equipped with quality items. No hand me downs like lots of other places we have stayed. Walking distance to town. We would stay here again.

Everything about this booking was ideal - from the hosts' kind & timely communications to the generously well-appointed, conscientious & comfortable accommodations to the wonderfully quiet & convenient location. My husband and I both believe we may never have slept in a more comfortable bed! We've decided this will be our top go-to spot from now on when we stay in Humboldt County. Thank you Jim & Christine!

A true gem
We couldn't have been happier with this home-away-from-home cottage in Arcata. It was perfect for the two of us, and roomier than we expected from the photos. Jim and Christine thought through every detail, and they're phenomenal hosts to boot. The serene location made for a great night's rest, and yet everything we needed was within walking distance. We'll be staying here for sure if we find ourselves in Arcata again. Thanks again, Jim and Christine!

Home away from home
The hosts, Jim and Christine, were thoughtful, kind, and pleasant. The living quarters were attractive, very comfortable, and amenities very complete. I lacked for nothing, including staples to start my visit and a bottle of wine to help relax! Being at the end of the street with a park meant no drive through traffic and very quiet neighborhood. Easy walk in to downtown, Humboldt campus, and driving north and south to sightsee in absolutely beautiful country. I hope to return to stay here and see more of this stunning area.

Loved parkside. cottage!
We had a lovely first time visit to Arcata and the cottage had much to do with it. Location was perfect, walking distance to stores, restaurants, farmers market and next to stewart park which our grandchildren loved Jim and Christine were attentive and helpful whenever we had a question. We look forward to our next visit and will love to return to such a well cared for home away from home

Awesome vacation base!
The owners were super hosts! A great base of operations to visit the beach, rivers and mountains. VERY nice if you have kids as the park was just a 30 second walk from the house. The area was beautiful and quiet as well.
The hosts were super helpful and offered us help when we had a health emergency during our stay.
5 stars and plan to stay again in the future! hopefully under better circumstances.

Perfect for Two!
This is a clean and comfortable apartment above a garage, nicely situated in a quiet Arcata neighborhood a few blocks from downtown. The place was immaculate, kitchen well-appointed, and the owner very responsive. It was perfect for the two of us. We’ve stayed here before and will certainly stay here again.

Private quiet but close to everything.
Great quiet location. Walk to restaurants stores etc. nice private deck and windows let a nice cross breeze In. check out the bottom right cabinet in kitchen. Cutting boards spices are all tucked inside. We had a great meal at salt and wished we’d made reservations at Larrupin cafe. Kayaking in Trinidad bay was a highlight of our trip

Great place for exploring the Redwoods
Great place to come back to after spending the day out exploring the Redwoods. Jim and Christine where great hosts and made us feel so welcomed. What we did not expect but was a pleasant surprise was the playground right across the street, which allowed our little one to burn off some energy.

Wonderful vacation!
We spent a wonderful week in Arcata, and if we come to the area again we would definitely stay at Parkside Cottage again. Clean, comfortable, and exactly what we wanted.

Five star cottage
The photo says it all--the five stars on the cottage. Jim and Christine have thought of everything to give a guest all the amenities imaginable for a pleasant stay.
First, the location is perfect, away from any traffic and next to a small park. This is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Arcata, close to the town center but distant from the busy streets of this university city.
We just completed our 2300 mile trip, and having sampled a lot of beds in the process, we can vouch for this as being the most comfortable.
And finally, Jim and Christine are wonderful hosts, from the initial contact through checking out. You can't go wrong staying with them.

top tier experience
No disrespect to previous VRBO hosts, but Jim and his delightful cottage is the best. Helpful, knowledgeable, easy, and organized. Easily the best maintained property we have stayed. The space was immaculate, while still projecting warmth and comfort. Easy walk to Arcata's central square, market, shops and restaurants. Many places to explore from the Community Forest, Clam Beach, Trinidad, and the Redwood parks. Jim can provide guidance and maps. I would stay here again without hesitation.

The Parkside Cottage was the perfect place for me and my husband to celebrate our anniversary. It felt very cozy, yet had plenty of space. The cottage is in a very quiet location, but still close to stores and restaurants. I highly recommend this vacation rental!

Arcata Haven
The cottage was honestly one of the most comfortable, clean and well maintained places my wife and I have ever stayed at. The furnishings and decor made it a great place to relax. The neighborhood was quite and beautifully landscaped.
I would recommend it as "the" place to stay in Arcata.
