A door separates the bedroom from the living area which allows privacy for guests using the sofa bed.

    We had a relaxed and very welcoming stay. We were there for two weeks and it became our home away from home. Its convenient, in town location made it easy to walk to restaurants and stores. Located in a safe and peaceful neighborhood, we promised ourselves we’d stay there again. Our hosts, Jim and Christine provide a wonderful stay for their guests.

    Perfect location for visiting everything in Arcata and walking distance to CPH. Very comfortable bed, great water pressure, and everything you would need in the kitchenette.

    Truly a CHARMING cottage. The place was very clean, very tidy, and had everything we needed for the 3 nights we stayed in Arcata. We also had the pleasure of meeting Jim and he was a delight! Very helpful and very informative!

    This was my first time to the area, visiting a niece on a short-term assignment north of Arcata. I was so happy to find this cottage! Perfect location, walking distance to the downtown area. It was nice and quiet, and the bed was super comfortable. My niece slept on the pull out, which has a brand new mattress, she said that was comfortable as well. The cottage was very clean, and check in and check out was simple. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area!

    Parkside Cottage is an amazing place to stay. Pristinely clean, close to town but quiet, lowest outdoor deck for morning coffee. Cozy, charming and comfortable inside with all I needed. Jim is a fantastic host going above and beyond to help as needed.

    We had a great stay. Love this location for convenience to Cal Poly and downtown Arcata. Apartment was spotless and beautifully appointed. It was very comfortable and quiet. My only suggestion for improvement is to replace the sleeper sofa mattress (the mattress was so uncomfortable my son ended up folding it back up and sleeping on the sofa instead.). Highly recommend for 2 people.
