Welcome to Redwood Roost, your charming hideaway nestled right beside the majestic Arcata Community Forest. This newly remodeled one-bedroom, one-bath apartment blends the cozy comforts of cottagecore with the natural beauty of Northern California's redwood coast. Step outside your door and into miles of lush hiking and mountain biking trails, or take a five-minute drive to the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary,a birdwatcher's paradise with stunning bay views. If you're craving coastal adventure, the dramatic cliffs and serene beaches of Trinidad—including Moonstone and Agate Beach—are just 15 minutes away.

Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully curated space featuring a fully equipped kitchenette, a light-filled living area, and a restful bedroom perfect for couples or close friends. Every detail has been refreshed with care, creating a peaceful, storybook ambiance ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Enjoy access to the shared gardens and grounds, perfect for a picnic under the trees, or relax on your private front deck, complete with a privacy fence and lounge chairs ideal for soaking in the warm sun.

And when you're ready to dip into town, downtown Arcata is just minutes away, offering a vibrant mix of locally owned shops, art galleries, live music, cozy cafes, and restaurants showcasing the best of Humboldt County.

    Literally across the street from the redwoods. Tiny studio, but very comfy.

    Very nice, but if you're tall you will need to duck! Ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom are very low. Very close to a busy road but the noise wasn't too bad. Great choice for ONE person and a pet.

    The place was perfect for our visit. Walking distance to Humboldt campus and downtown. Cute little cottage with all the appropriate accommodations to make for a lovely stay. The property managers were quick to respond to any questions we had. We met the property owner as well who was lovely and made us feel very welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a nice spot close to downtown Arcata.

    This was an adorable well kept unit moments away from the Arcata Community forest. It had a small kitchenette, which was perfect for small meals, a grill outside for bigger ones and a very comfortable bed. I would highly recommend it, especially if you like to wake up and take a walk among the redwoods.

    My girlfriend and I absolutely loved staying here. It was very cute and compact. Perfect for the two of us! The road could be slightly noisy at night but was the only small downside to this great little place!

    It was a small quaint little studio that suited our needs just fine. Perfect for an easy place to stay when visiting family.

    It is a sweet place and pretty quiet on beautiful landscaped property. I was disappointed in the deck with no view but furniture is comfy and can see lovely flowers and birds. Bed is very comfy but it is a double and I think we need a queen. Hosts are lovely and its close to everything. Will recommend to our kids when they come up.
