    This is our second time staying at The Drift and we have stayed at The Loft three times. We love this property. It is so clean and beautiful. It has a calming vibe. I love getting up early and having coffee out on the porch. I love how we can just park our car at the residence and just walk into town. Definitely always want to stay here when we visit Arcata.

    Our unit was exactly what we needed - two bedrooms with two very comfortable beds, a well-appointed kitchen, a cozy gas fireplace. The location was amazing - walking distance to the town square with its shops, restaurants, and Saturday Market. Minutes from Cal Poly Humboldt, the Arcata Marsh (amazing free tour), redwoods, the bay and the ocean. A hop/skip/jump to Eureka or Trinidad. Will definitely book again!

    We had a lot of fun at this home. It was just big enough for the 4 of us. We enjoyed the hot tub which seemed to be well maintained. The Sauna didn't get up to temperature. It only got up to about 115 and then started to cool off again so I am not sure if it is broken or not. The bikes were great too. The house is a short walk from many stores and restaurants, and close to campus, the community forest and disc golf. If you are staying in Arcata this place is great!

    My daughter and I came to stay while she checked out CalPoly for her college choice. This location was perfect. Easy access to everything. Never used the bikes but it was nice to have them as an option. We did take advantage of the hot tub and laundry. The house was very clean and had enough bedding and towels. Easy check in we will be coming back several times a year to visit her throughout college and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

    We took our two upper classmen boys to Arcata to check out the area. The house was great for the 4 of us. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to campus, the redwoods, and the beach. We all utilized the hot tubs during our stay. If we’re back up this way, I would definitely book again.

    The Downtown Drift is an awesome place to stay! The house was very cozy and clean. Our family appreciated the ping pong table and jacuzzi in the backyard, and the close proximity to Arcata Plaza. I highly recommend this place!

    We enjoyed staying at this Downtown Drift. There are lots of walkable restaurants and shops. Redwoods and beaches are less than an hour away, most are within 30 minutes. The property was clean, tidy and had everything we needed.
