Beautiful garden. Peaceful oasis. Well equipped. Didn’t get to try sauna but it looked cool.

It was hot in there. Poor air circulation even tho only in 70s outside. Also would’ve been nice to see a face. Never saw staff during our stay.

Very old school, arty.

The rooms were comfortable.

The picture shown in the sauna room not the door to your room. I found it too expensive.

Very cute and unique stay. The outdoor baths were a fun touch!

No AC in units. There was a note to let the facility know if you wanted a window fan; however, doing this would require the blinds of the bedroom to be open allowing anyone walking by the courtyard easy view into the unit. Not an ideal situation for privacy. Some of the soaking tubs outside were missing their drain plugs and one unit did not have a lock on the door.

Garden courtyard was so beautiful and rooms were cozy

Magical place to stay. The spa was great and the beds were comfy! Great location in town, walkable to many great restaurants.

We stayed at FPHO because it was pet friendly. We love to travel with our dog - especially to go hiking. Whether you have a dog, check out the beautiful redwoods and many trails in the nearby Arcata Community Forest. FPHO's landscape is gorgeous and peaceful. We stayed in unit #4 the waterfall room which probably got its name because you could hear the waterfall fountain as you sleep. Shampoo, Condition, Bodywash, large bath towels, and wash clothes provided in our shower. There were also foaming soap, hand towels, ear cotton swaps, cotton balls (didn't use), and first aid kit (also didn't use). My spouse used the copper outdoor bath. I would have but did not like the little gnats flying above the baths. It was a 4 block walk to downtown (we loved Cafe Brio and Hole in the Wall sandwiches). You are also about 2 blocks away from the nature wildlife nature preserve trail, which we walked our dog in the mornings. Next door to the building is a brand new playground and half basketball court for kids and small patch of green grass for dogs to potty. We also found the little gem across the street - the Humbolt Pet Supply store, which had a self-serve pet bath, which our dog needed to wash off all the sand and salt water after a day at the beach dunes. We parked on the street in the quiet safe neighborhood. There is onsite parking but there are only 4 spots.The room was Bohemian decor - cozy and clean. We did not use the fully-stocked kitchen very much but loved that there were tea/coffee/creamer/hot chocolate/popcorn and fresh farm eggs waiting for us.

The doors to the units can be heard and felt. Our unit was next to the storage room, too, which needed a strong pull to close? Anyway, the owners asked in their welcome sheet that everyone be conscientious when closing their doors and to use their quiet voices when possible. Our neighbor in unit 3 had their music streaming throughout the night and for reasons unknown to us, kept exiting and entering in their unit from midnight to 3 am. We didn't want to confront the neighbor because the behavior seemed really odd. Bring ear plugs, and maybe, melatonin if you are sensitive sleeper.

We loved being able to take a soak and cook dinner after a long day of driving.

We prefer a firm mattress.
