Fenced Yard, Pet Friendly, Cozy Cottage , Great Kitchen, Short Walk to Cal Poly
This comfortable two bedroom cottage is efficiently tucked away in the back corner of a large lot on a country cul-de-sac affording the convenience of a 10 minute walk to town, a 7 minute walk to Cal Poly Humboldt, a 3 minute drive to 101 and the quiet privacy of a rolling rural road. The refurbished original wood floors bring a classic yet new golden beauty to every room. The updated kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and prosumer Bosch and Viking appliances brings equal delight to preparing quick small meals for one or two as it does to being the central gathering point serving up a banquet of varied dishes when entertaining a moderate crowd. Open the sliding glass door and you effectively extend the kitchen to include a propane grill, an additional table and chairs and a long deck allowing up to 20 people to bask in the beautiful summer weather at the same time. Steps at the end of the deck lead to a fully enclosed yard for your exclusive use during your stay so your furry family members can bask in the beautiful summer sun with you so do not feel left out. The driveway next to the cottage fits two cars comfortably. Should you have extra guests, street parking is free, convenient, readily available, and restricted only by your imagination (and common sense, of course. We still live in a civilized society). A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a pool table and well-equipped exercise room.

Very Good

We enjoyed our stay but had to cut it short for personal reasons. We appreciated the personal touches provided by the owner, but would have liked more specific directions to get to the house, which was off the street in an alley with only a mailbox across the street to identify the house number. Very quiet neighborhood behind an elementary school, would stay there again.
Great place for pets. Fenced yard. Our dog was able to be in the house. Owner is super cool. Great kithchen, gas grill outside. We stayed a month and thoroughly enjoyed every day
We stayed here to visit different places to see the Redwoods. It was a great place to be. Close to the things we wanted to see.

Arcata weekend
The house could have presented better from the outside, but it was clean and well maintained on the inside. The landlord was very responsive to our request to gain wifi access.
Visited daughter who went to Humboldt and just got a new job in Arcata working under her degree. Had family and friends for dinner (wonderful stove) as after Thanksgiving, pre Christmas as she will be unable to come home for the holidays. Husband and daughter went crabbing. Good time had by all.

The place had plenty of space. The heaters worked. It is sparse. Bring toilet paper, papers towels, soap, shampoo, hand towels, kitchen towels. Host did provide coffee. The beds were pretty comfortable. It's quiet.
Everything we needed for a few days in Humboldt moving our son into school. The fenced yard was great for the dogs and the location was super convenient. Beds might use a topper but overall a decent spot if traveling with pups.
Loved being close to campus. Nice park for doggie at the end of the street. Excellent appliances in kitchen. My only "needs improvement" was the yard...sadly, other visitors didn't bring dog poop bags.
The property is on the edge of town, down an alley that leads to several units. The neighbors were extremely nice. The house is nicely setup for traveling with dogs, with a small backyard. The inside is modest, comfortable and very cleam.
It was a cute comfortable cozy place to stay it was nice to have our dogs with us and our daughter was able to come visit and stay while we were there the kitchen is beautiful love the decor just overall we had a wonderful time would love to stay again
My wife and i (and our 3 dogs) stayed here while visiting our niece who in in school here. The place was perfect for us. It is close to everything and has a great fenced in yard for the pups. It is hard to find a nice place that allows 3 large dogs and we always appreciate when an owner allows for us to vacation with the whole family. Highly recommended.
Park close by to run kids or pets. Spacious home with essentials. Bring your own kitchen towels and hand towels/wash cloths. Friendly and welcoming host. Hike Redwoods Park Trail
while there.
VRBO site not always functioning, so take photo of house info and check in and out process.
Easy to find, clean interior. Comfortable beds. Living room could use more seating so 3-4 adults could sit and watch television together. Overall good stay and will stay again!
Stayed for only one night but the yard was nice for our dog and the space was well taken care of. Will definitely be checking out this space again when we go back up.

To Rest Your Head
This was a good place to just come to in order to sleep but with the comfort of having your own space. Beds were hard but my Mom liked it & me & my wife did not. Plenty of space for the 3 of us for 2 days to actually only be there to sleep and go do our vacation stuff. There was a couple issues but the host took care of right away. One wasn't his fault the Internet which was great was just acting up the other was there were no towels or a bath matt as well as no TP but once notified he brought it right down & later his other partner brought down more for us. Craig was extremely nice and friendly and he even took the time helping me by giving me some tips on finding the cheaper places to get gas in the area. Overall it was a good stay and worth what we paid for the 2 nights we stayed.

Worked out perfect for visiting my HSU student. Just 2 minutes away from campus.
Fenced yard was perfect for my two large pups. Maybe a 5-10 minute drive to a dog friendly beach! Worked out perfectly!
My brother and I stayed here for a night on a Redwoods road trip. Would have happily stayed much longer. Cozy place with great kitchen and other amenities we didn't have time to fully enjoy. Cute town, lovely nearby campus. Eureka 15 minutes away. Wish we'd had more time to explore! I'll be back!
