Jim and Christine were the best. They made our stay the best. We felt like family. We can’t wait to come back again.
Quite street, easy walking distance to town, shops, restaurants. Great place for a couple. Well put together unit with everything you need. Great host.
Wonderful property. Clean, well equipped, and convenient. Owners went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful stay, which we did.
Quiet location in Arcata within close distance to amenities and base to explore Redwoods in Humbodt county. Cottage layout and amenities are well thought out to make the stay pleasant, and restful. Kudos to Jim and Christine for being great hosts and sharing this cottage for travellers or visitors.
Everything about this little place was just perfect! It has everything you need to be comfortable. Perfect for 1-2 people. The nieghborhood is nice and quiet, the hosts were in communication ahead of time to make sure I had what I needed. I work virtually and needed to work for part of my stay, so they tested the internet to make sure I could attend my virtual meetings. It worked perfectly! I plan to stay again on my next trip to Arcata!
We really liked this place. Good size for two. The cottage was very clean and had a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was well equipped with quality items. No hand me downs like lots of other places we have stayed. Walking distance to town. We would stay here again.
Everything about this booking was ideal - from the hosts' kind & timely communications to the generously well-appointed, conscientious & comfortable accommodations to the wonderfully quiet & convenient location. My husband and I both believe we may never have slept in a more comfortable bed! We've decided this will be our top go-to spot from now on when we stay in Humboldt County. Thank you Jim & Christine!
Charming, comfortable apartment in a quiet neighborhood of old homes. Within easy walking distance of downtown Arcata. We delighted in exploring the neighborhood and enjoying the well-loved, beautifully tended front gardens.
The cottage is exceptional in all ways. We will be back.
Will go back
The cottage is very clean and has everything we needed during our stay. Communicating and flexibility with the owners was fantastic!
We really enjoyed our stay! Our place had everything we needed and the location was fantastic. We will definitely be back! Thank you.
We couldn't have been happier with this home-away-from-home cottage in Arcata. It was perfect for the two of us, and roomier than we expected from the photos. Jim and Christine thought through every detail, and they're phenomenal hosts to boot. The serene location made for a great night's rest, and yet everything we needed was within walking distance. We'll be staying here for sure if we find ourselves in Arcata again. Thanks again, Jim and Christine!
The hosts, Jim and Christine, were thoughtful, kind, and pleasant. The living quarters were attractive, very comfortable, and amenities very complete. I lacked for nothing, including staples to start my visit and a bottle of wine to help relax! Being at the end of the street with a park meant no drive through traffic and very quiet neighborhood. Easy walk in to downtown, Humboldt campus, and driving north and south to sightsee in absolutely beautiful country. I hope to return to stay here and see more of this stunning area.
We had a lovely first time visit to Arcata and the cottage had much to do with it. Location was perfect, walking distance to stores, restaurants, farmers market and next to stewart park which our grandchildren loved Jim and Christine were attentive and helpful whenever we had a question. We look forward to our next visit and will love to return to such a well cared for home away from home
The owners were super hosts! A great base of operations to visit the beach, rivers and mountains. VERY nice if you have kids as the park was just a 30 second walk from the house. The area was beautiful and quiet as well. The hosts were super helpful and offered us help when we had a health emergency during our stay. 5 stars and plan to stay again in the future! hopefully under better circumstances.
Great setting for a getaway very clean and very private. I loved it
