Mimi’s ranch house was everything my husband and I and four boys (ages 13-20) needed for our 9 day trip to Arcata. The layout was perfect, the kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of room to spread out, and the whole property was just beautiful. We used the house as home base and traveled to Avenue of the Giants, Trinidad beaches, the Eel River, Crescent City, etc etc. Check in was smooth and easy, the house was spotlessly clean, and the neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We were so sad to have to leave!! Can’t wait to come back, would absolutely stay at Mimi’s again ❤️

This was an excellent property. The location sublime, private and 70's ranch galore. Would recommend it to anyone that wants privacy but not isolated.

We loved our stay in this well maintained and tasteful one story home. Great amenities and such a large space to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked and we love the many towels and the lap blankets while visiting in the morning. one of our favorite things was picking out our cup for morning coffee. We loved the art, also. We do hope to come back at some time We were there for a wedding and had a lot of events.

We had to plan in a pinch so we were ready to take what we could. We ended up with one option, and it was this lovely house! It was a good size but still had a cozy feel. It had a very cool mid century vibe but still with all the modern necessities. We came on a very rainy weekend but the property was stunning. I would love to come when I could really wander the grounds.

This is a hidden gem of a house. We stayed there for 5 nights as one of 3 couples. The master suite off the front hall provides seclusion from the kitchen and other bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. The classic, mid-mod living room is a treasure. The kitchen is one of the best equipped kitchens I've seen in rental houses, noteworthy because we like to cook. The shared bath for the other bedrooms is spacious, with both tub and shower and double sink; plus a half bath right off the kitchen. The back deck overlooks the stream and covered bridge with plenty of seating. There is no road noise and we slept with the windows open every night. A good market, Murphy's, is just a mile or two away and both Eureka and Arcata are close enough to not feel like it takes a trip to get there. All in all, I can't say enough about how good this house was for our stay.

This home has many rooms, a gorgeous view, an excellent creek, and a nice walk over a covered bridge into a cool and unique neighborhood. We enjoyed staying with our friends and dogs. The kids played in the creek and we took a nice family walk over the covered bridge into the rest of the neighborhood. The deck provided a nice play to hang out in the evening and stare up at the star filled sky. It was a blast!

We came into town to visit my sister who lives in Arcata. We felt so fortunate to find Mimi‘s so close to her home. This is a sprawling ranch home, with plenty of room to stretch out, and a gorgeous deck to enjoy fresh air and nature. The home is immaculate with every amenity at your fingertips. We took beautiful walks each day, took a billion pictures of the picturesque covered bridge, and cooked many meals as a family. As a special bonus, there is also a piano in the great room that we enjoyed. The location is also very close to several hiking trails, Arcata Town Square, and shopping centers.
We hope to stay at Mimi’s the next time we are in town. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our 2 families with children stayed at Mimi’s place this past weekend. The house was great, the kids loved playing by the creek and exploring the property. Location was convenient to get to everything but also quiet and peaceful.
We’ll appointed property with enough space to spread out. It’s a little older but that just means it felt like coming home to grandma’s house, which I loved. So glad we stayed here instead of a hotel.

The house was well equipped, better than most rentals. Great location, quiet and peaceful. I’ll rent again when traveling to Arcata or Eureka.

This home satisfied our needs in every way to host a large family get-together.
This beautiful home is large, well laid out, and everything is labeled to make it easier to navigate. The kitchen is appointed with every appliance, utensil, place setting, pot, or pan you will ever need. Communication with the property manager was quick and helpful.
We can't wait to return!

Property and location are fantastic! Lots of extra touches that helped make our stay very special - all the cooking tools and gadgets you could ask for, a basket full of lap robes for cold mornings, and extremely comfortable beds/couches/chairs. We will be back!

This is an absolutely beautiful home and property. The home has everything you need to cook a beautiful meal and enjoy it with family/friends on the gorgeous deck overlooking the covered bridge. The beds are super comfortable and the living room is a wonderful respite away from the busy kitchen. A+ home.

Our family loved this vacation home. It was perfect for our large group and accommodating all ages. Beautiful area, close to all amenities and oh so quiet. Take a walk thru the covered bridge or head to the beach. We will be back.

Cozy home
We absolutely loved staying at Mimi’s ranch, everything was clean, neat and organized. It had absolutely everything we needed. We got to grill most nights and spent eating outside on the patio to sounds of nature and the beautiful stream. It was close to the redwoods and crescent city. Loved the bakery’s and the cute local shops. The beds were so comfortable to sleep in every night. My family and I will for sure return. What a relaxing getaway.

The property has a beautiful setting. It is a little farther out from Arcata but it is a lovely setting near the creek. The home is well appointed with everything you need. The home is older but very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there.
