Great location
Nicely appointed small apartment right next to a lovely park. Easy access to all of Arcata. Larger cars might want to park on the street, the driveway is very steeply angled

Baxter's Bayview Can't Be Beat
This is our second stay at Baxter's Bayview Cottage. We love the locaton so much! Set high above the city, there's a wonderful view of Arcata and beyond. And, the best part -- it's only a few yards from the incredibly beautiful Arcata Community Forest! The owner is so accommodating and nice. We will be back!

Best Little House in Arcata!
I come up to this area 4 times a year for a week for business. I used to stay at the hotels in the area. No more! This place was perfect! Nice location. Beautiful views. Quiet and very clean! I highly recommend this property!

Nice hidden gem
This property is so clean! It also has a lovely view from the tall table. While it is 1/4 block from the Community Forest, there is no public entrance up the hill there—you walk down the block and up the hill to the right to the park. But it is a lovely resource to have pretty close. You can also drive up there, park in the lot and save your steps for the glorious woods.

Amazing ocean view will all the amenities you want
We loved spending a week here while attending a music workshop on campus. We walked back and forth (17 minutes) and also into town for groceries and restaurant dining. The hosts invite you to enjoy the view from the lovely patio complete with Koi pond and abundant flowers. The inside is charming, clean, and new. We only caught a glimpse of Baxter the cat. Last but not least, the cottage is located at the entrance of Redwood Park which has forest trails to enjoy.

Five stars but no communication
Great location, nice view, close to campus. Well set up and comfortable bed. We never were provided with lock box code for key. Had to borrow neighbor's spare to get in. Otherwise all good. Instructions say please run dishwasher when leaving. No dishwasher.

Nice little cottage
The cottage was clean and well equipped. The bed was comfortable, clean linens and towels provided. The cottage is located on a hillside with an ocean view and outdoor patio space. The location is quiet, however the refrigerator is noisy and comes on almost hourly, even throughout the night. We would have accepted the offer to stay an additional night for 1/2 the nightly rate however when I checked on this with Vacasa customer service, I was told I would have to pay an add'l $30 cleaning fee. I had already paid $60 cleaning fee for 2 nights. That seemed unreasonable so we opted out.

Super clean and beautiful
We traveled to Arcata for the weekend to visit our son who lives there. This is hands down the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed in. It was well stocked, located in a very quiet neighborhood, great location, and beautiful garden with a great view of the bay and out towards the ocean. The owner was friendly and quiet. Highly recommend!

Perfect for the hiker and the writer
I absolutely loved this space so much it was bittersweet to leave. The home is cozy and quiet with plenty of great views of the garden and the bay area. The garden itself was a sweet sanctuary for sunsets and meditation. The bed was cozy and the bedroom kept quiet for a solid sleep. The kitchen was fully stocked ready for any culinary adventure. I spent my time hiking during the day and writing at night. Just what I had needed. Great location with lots of redwood forests within two hour drive. Best part was having the Arcata Community Forest within a five minute walking distance. I highly recommend this place and hope to return again.

Breathtaking view
I sat at the table by the window and watched the sunrise/sunset over Arcata and the ocean. I watched the fog come and go. The cottage is in a breathtaking location. Only a block to trails through the redwoods. The cottage itself is clean and stocked with everything you could think of needing. I could have just moved in and stayed . . .

Well appointed apartment with a beautiful view.
The apartment is in a beautiful location overlooking the city and the bay. It was very clean and fully equipped and functional. In a very quiet neighborhood near the community redwood forest with easy access to town, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Great Place to Stay
The check in and check out process was seamless. The first night we enjoyed watching and photographing a doe and her fawn comfortably snacking on grass and shrubs through the large living room window and standing in the driveway. Great facility and especially loved the convenient stacked washer /dryer. Easy to find and close for a stroll in Redwood Park. Centrally located for traveling to Trinidad, Arcata and Eureka. Loved our stay.
