Arcata, California
Come enjoy the serene and beautiful Redwood forest surrounding the Crown Royal Streamline, a vintage Airstream travel trailer with remodeled, original features and a complete kitchen, an interior 1/2 bathroom and amenities.
Adjacent to Airstream is beautifully constructed Juniper and Cedar Bathhouse with on-demand hot water and claw foot tub/shower awaits a relaxing moment among the sunny and private meadow and redwoods. The bathhouse is open-air (semi-enclosed and private, similar to campground shower) adjacent to Airstream and is cooler in winter months, but guests love it.. The trailer has heating options including radiant heat, a wood stove and comfy bed with warm comforters and electric blankets. According to recent guests, all these options warm up the Airstream nicely. Airstream is fully furnished with towels, soaps, bedding, full kitchen and all you need to bring is your own food and beverage.

Keywords: In a private forested meadow but only 10 minutes from downtown Arcata-the best of both worlds!
Enjoyed having a cozy airstream to stay in. It was especially nice to have the woodfire stove on a cool, rainy day. The open air tub was a great way to connect with the wilderness... LOVED that the water was always hot!
The Airstream is a great basecamp for a visit to the area parks and attractions, equipped for two guests but I could see four guests being comfy there as the basecamp too. Easy to find using the Property Manager's directions, I found that Google Maps guided me there over 400 miles of travel that day. The Airstream is well equipped and was clean, though it took me a minute to figure out how to turn on the lights. The lights on the kitchen appliances work, none of the wallswitches are activated, no problem once I knew where the switches were located. The light in the sitting area is activated by the power strip on the floor. There is a mini-wood-burning stove ** keep in mind that the door is only 7 wide, so plan on sawing your timber to fit **. A fantastic place to stay in Humboldt, a great value, private (2 other cabins nearby), quiet and surrounded by the forest! If it hadn't been raining I would have pitched my open-top tent and slept under the sky in that clear spot right out the front door!!
I think that this rental is ideal for an individual or a couple who do not mind if things are not entirely clean or perfect. It certainly worked for my needs, but I'm not certain that it would be a good match for the majority of people. The trailer is relatively small and older. It could've been more thoroughly cleaned, certainly not up to nicer hotel standards. Communication with the owner was OK but not prompt. Again, I believe that this is a nice match for the DIY crowd, but those expecting luxury should look elsewhere. Finally, the hot tub, although chlorinated, was not particularly clean and felt quite oily. I have owned a similar hot tub in the past and certainly did not feel that this one was well monitored or maintained.
Loved being in the woods with quick access to stores and fuel. We were in a great location that allowed us to explore the redwoods for two days. The owner was great and helped when we needed. The airstream was clean, the shower was delightful and the view was calming. Great place!!
Liked: Quiet & secluded. Beautiful area. Disliked: Space was not as advertised. Twin beds, not full or queen sized as picture leads you to believe. Toilet was fine in trailer, but the bath house was not as advertised. The bath house with tub/shower was pretty & unique, but shared with others on property and a short walk from trailer, so shower shoes would be helpful. The bar handle to close the trailer door from the inside has almost broken on one side and needs to be remounted. The steps up to the door are a bit wobbly too. Do not know/did not use: Kitchen, except for fridge; nice sized fridge. Would stay somewhere else when returning to visit Arcata.
Clean, quiet rustic base camp. A perfect place to explore the surrounding area,
This property is a little tricky to get to but once you do its a very peaceful and quiet setting. Jeff was so easy to work with as we did get lost the first night coming in at night time, but he came down the hill and guided us in. Showers were hot, bathroom as sufficient. Its a cozy little trailer. I would definitely stay here again.
This place was exactly what I was looking for on my vacation, near the city but in the woods still, private, different, the old airstream feel was fun, best part was the wood burning stove
The trailer is a bit dated but makes up for it with location and QUIET! It was close enough to see the sites but tucked away in isolation. The “outdoor shower” was nice as you had room where a trailer shower would not. We would come back!
The hot tub in the redwoods was wonderful! It is down the hill from the trailer and to the right up a small driveway behind the big house you see as you drive in. Sitting outside of the trailer was lovely, as there is a small meadow and surrounded by trees. There was also the cutest/smallest wood stove I've ever seen, but out of use due to fire danger. It is about 5 mins drive from downtown Arcata, which was great. Explored Trinidad and the costal hiking trails and had a beautiful time outside. Tip: arrive during daylight because it could be hard to find otherwise. Our issues: beds are not the same, one higher and one lower, one was not good and my partner had to use a camping mattress on it. Walking through the two beds to the toilet was odd, you have to shuffle sideways, and one of the mattresses didn't fit the bed, so it was falling into the walkway. If the mattress/bed situation were improved, this place would be a lot better. Could also use a hand railing up to the trailer (some people would have trouble with the two stairs), coverings on open light sockets, working lamp in the bedroom, a hand railing to get into shower/tub (again, accessibility), and hooks in the bath house. Everything was clean when we got there, and all the windows open, so the Covid caution was appreciated. The hot tub was clean, too. This is definitely an older trailer, so if you're hoping for vintage, this is your place.
If your looking for a quiet place away from crowds of tourists, this is for you. The property is just as described, remote yet not too far removed from the sights. My daughter & I stayed there for a week & a half to get acclimated to the area before starting college at HSU. The place met all our expectations.
First impression walking up to the property, old, rickety, wooden steps to the front door, being leveled by chunks of wood. From there we found the key in the deadbolt, because that's what holds the door shut. Upon entry, we are greeted by thrift store furnishings. Further inspection finds several notes from Jeffrey and family informing us how to cleanup daily and such. We arrived near sunset and found a few lights on, which was fine. The issues began at bedtime. The heat source is a space heater plugged into an extension cord hung off one of the 2 Twin beds. Then it was lights out, none of the wall switches work so, each light has to be turned off by an inline switch. Long story short, we spent 3 of the 4 nights and called it good. We never saw or heard from the owner so, I didn't bother asking for any kind of refund, hopefully the extra funds will go towards a remodel. My wife and I did follow all of the cleaning instructions and left the place cleaner than we found it.
Owner did not respond to any of my messages or calls. I thought it was a flat gravel road not a 45° degree incline. Now i have scratched tire rims and underside to pay for on my rental car. Not accessible at ALL. And poison ivy covering the entrance from the parking spot too.
Pros: Peaceful, quiet, convenient, awesome hot tub Cons: showers dirty, dirt floor in showers, no trash enclosure Full trash can from previous tenets had been left in the driveway. Racoons got into it and tipped it over before it was picked up. Need to include a map of site showing hot tub, other rental units, trash disposal, outdoor showers, etc.
We enjoyed our stay so much. It was clean and comfortable and the location was great for exploring the area. We planned on spending more time out and about, just using the space for sleeping and some meals. It ended up being so serene we spent most of our time just relaxing there. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to unplug and recharge ❤️
Property was peaceful and quiet.
