Our 3rd Stay at this property
We came back to the Classy Craftsman for our 3rd time. This time unfortunately the home felt run down. There were a few flies in the home , pealing paint in the kitchen , the fireplace didn’t work and there was an over all musty odor. They have replaced the oven which was a lovely upgrade! The location is outstanding. It is a spacious home! Walking distance to downtown and a beautiful market! We loved it enough to come back 3 times just this time the home felt neglected. I feel bad saying these negative things yet I feel it’s important to share the facts as I see them. Nothing is perfect rite? It needs a deep cleaning top to bottom and I’m sure it will be back to 5 stars!

Do not recommend.
This home shouldn’t be occupied. There is terrible smell that overwhelms the entire home. All my belongings now reek and I’m still having trouble breathing after leaving. Asked for a refund due to my concern and it was not even considered by Vacasa. The hot tub is STILL surrounded by mold on the ceiling and on its cover. It also never got hot. The shower(s) floor(s) weren’t cleaned properly. Home needs dusting in some areas and the washer has an odor. Very disappointing. I expected much more based off the reviews! I would have to rate this a 0 out of 5 based off the extreme odor and the mold.

Perfect House for a Humboldt Trip
I've never left a review for an a house, but we loved the house so much. Lived in Arcata for 5 five years in the early 2000's. Decided to go back with our young kids and this was perfect for us. If permitted (its not), you can fit probably 8+ people in the house for a week to give you a scope of size. Size is larger than anticipated, kitchen is much better than most homes in Arcata, yard was great, playroom was an added bonus that kept the kids entertained. Hot Tub / Sauna if thats your thing. The location is as good as you'll find in Arcata and the house is loaded with charm. You can walk to the restaurants within 5 minutes, 1 minute walk to a grocery store, a few minute walk to 2 movie theaters and your centralized as it relates to driving: 5 min drive to forests, 45 min south to Ave of the Giants, 1 hour east to the river, 45 minutes north to fern canyon, 20 minutes north to Trinidad with amazing beaches and hikes, etc.. When we go back up, we're going to try and prioritize this home again.

Comfortable, convenient and relaxing home
I chose this for its location (convenient to freeway and ease of walking downtown) and the wonderful Craftsman details! I was not disappointed with my choice! (The 60’s kitchen, with upgrade copper drawers, pink oven and matching dishes were a hit too!) The house is well appointed both in furniture and kitchen wares, plus laundry facilities and jacuzzi/sauna. I would definitely consider it again (checking my calendar!😉)

Great place in a lovely base for exploring the Redwoods!
The property was exactly as advertised! It was easy to find, easy to walk to downtown and the shops, restaurants and theaters. Great parking and although it is on a surprisingly busy street on one side the backyard, decks, and rooms all made it feel very private. VACASA was very easy to work with (it was our first time with them) and the property was everything it promised. It is also an easy walk to Humboldt State (which is beautiful by the way) and this is a great base of operations if you want to take day trips into the Redwoods for hiking (which are also beautiful!). I would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent Location to Attend Graduation
We had a great time and the property offered the perfect location for the family in town to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Cal Poly Humbolt. We walked to the grocery store multiple times, to the square to eat and hang out, and even to the graduation ceremony. The house was clean, updated in the right areas and met all our needs. We cooked dinner one night and it had all the basics which is great. Overall, we had a great time.

Perfect vacation rental
This house has got so much charm and character. It was impeccably clean upon our arrival and we were greeted with gentle music playing in the background, which was a nice touch. Plus, the location was amazing - walkable to downtown Arcata, and plenty to explore close by in the Redwoods.

Wonderful house for family gatherings
This house is in a great location- just a block away from a nice grocery store, and easy walking to many other food and entertainment places. The house is large, beautiful and comfortable- good beds, warm, plenty of towels, etc. the house is spacious-cozy for gathering together in the living room or dining room, or spreading out, to play a board game or read a book. Very comfortable house!

Perfect spot in Arcata
It was an excellent property and experience. The property was extremely clean and had all the amenities we needed. The jacuzzi and sauna were easy to operate and in good working condition. The gas fireplace/heater was a great feature to gather around. The beds were a little firm. I'd say an 8/10 on firmness. My friend loved the foosball table and game room.

Just what we needed.
My grown children and their spouses joined me to celebrate my husband’s life. Joyous but also very difficult time for us. This house had everything we needed, plenty of space to be alone yet cozy for dining and watching a movie. Sauna and hot tub were amazing. Manager quick to respond to questions.. As an added bonus, everything we wanted to do was within walking distance.

Charming home walking distance to shops and restaurants
We loved the layout of this house and the old kitchen was charming. The kids loved the pass through from kitchen to dining and all the doors meant we could put the kids to bed and still be in the living room without disturbing them. Felt like stepping back in time to the 1930s in a very nicely maintained house. Perfect home base for our Redwood vacation only 30 min away from the Redwoods with lots of food options in walking distance to the house. 2 suggestions - please add a teakettle for boiling water and cutting boards.

Great house and location
We stayed here for a family get together and enjoyed the house and location very much. The house is comfortable and was roomy for our group of 6. It was spotless. We enjoyed the hot tub and grill, walked to downtown, and it’s only 2 blocks from 101. It is on the corner of 2 busy streets. The beds were amazing and the bathrooms were newly remodeled. Lots of windows make it sunny and bright.

Great Experience
Really amazing and beautiful home which was nicer than I had anticipated. Was able to cook dinner for my family (my son is an HSU student) and it was great to be able to have a family dinner with him. Walked to the square on Saturday for the Farmer's Market, walked to grab pizza, walked to the marsh, lots of cool stuff to do within walking distance. My only small wish was that the hot tub had not been over chlorinated, the chemicals were so harsh that you couldn't breathe the air in so we weren't able to use it. Other than that, it was a fantastic trip with comfortable beds and beautiful accommodations. Hope to be back!
