Unique townhouse - close to Cal Poly Humboldt

The property is in the redwoods, so you would expect after paying a $241 host fee that the host would know to properly secure the trashcans from bears. However, the cans had nothing but a flimsy bungee and were under the stairs next to the parking spot with what I assume was the last guests food remains in it. We woke up after our first night and the can was lodged tight against our SUV and trash was everywhere. The bungee was still on, but the bear just stretched it out and got out the food. The can was jammed between the stairs and out wheel well, and did some minor damage to the vehicle . The host refused to pay for the damage because their insurance wouldn’t pay, even though they admitted this was the second time it happened and only NOW were tgey going to build a proper enclosure for the cans. I mean, we’re in the redwoods. They have multiple properties, I assume. That should be obvious before even a single incident happens. Yet the guests are greeted with a plethora of rules when they arrive including “no shoes in the home” and “no smoking on the patio”. I understand no smoking in the house but on the patio? (We don’t even smoke, but this is ridiculous). So yes. We were not super happy. The neighbor said the bear comes every couple of weeks so this is all very predictable. They did refund 75 for a busted washing machine, but they should have refunded the entire visit, frankly. Their negligence led to damage to the car and a bear that knows to look there for food.

What a great unit! Spacious and very clean. In the center of Arcata. Close to shops, restaurants and recreation. A short drive to the beach made it just perfect for us to celebrate our daughters, who is a student at Cal Poly Humboldt, birthday. Great property we will be back for sure!

Really cozy and clean place to stay. Outside the main window is an awesome view of the redwood forest. Quiet and comfortable neighborhood, anything you need is about 5 minutes away. Super close to the ocean as well only 10 minutes. This rental was Awesome!!

Great home with lovely wooded view. Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Perfect location to visit our CPH student!

This house was absolutely perfect for its location. The beds were comfortable and the house was nice and quiet. Planned to BBq for my son and few friends but had to change plans because the BBq was very small. We ordered BBq and still had a nice dinner at our house. The couch is super comfortable . If I had to complain about anything…. Tv in living room could be bigger, bbq as well. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for the cost. We will be back!

if you're looking for a quiet getaway with you and your partner or you and the family definitely worth the money

Located in a quiet neighborhood close to Cal Poly campus. Clean and well maintained with comfortable beds, stocked kitchen. Enjoyed our stay.

I slept like a log in the very comfy bed. Comfortable and clean townhome and great for a college visit with my teen. Tv in living room was great. Odd to have tvs in the bedrooms without cable, fire stick or Roku. So TVs with no signal. Not a deal-breaker, just a little funny.

this is a nice and quiet location. very spacious and perfect for a small family.

The property description is misleading “…view of the Redwood Coast…” - you do see redwoods but you would need a chainsaw to see the coast. The driveway is very steep as described but the key code to get into the house is eleven numbers long and you have 10 seconds to enter it — only took use 5 times the first to to finally get in the door!! Once in the door we were greeted with a gust of stale musty air; if you have allergies this place is NOT for you. From the fixture to the flooring this place needs a remodel job for the price we paid. We had a few issues with the WiFi and found the person we contacted to be of little help and when we asked about how to log in to the Netflix account we were told we needed to use our own which is not what was advertised. It was nice having the option of the washer and dryer on site but the place had such a rank/smell to it that by time we left everything we have just smelled like it — frustrating. The smell wasn’t because of a poor cleaning job, it is just the bones of the place. Over all after a long day of hiking this was not a place we looked forward to coming back too. Next time we travel to Northern California we will opt to stay further north (Trinidad or Crescent City) where the view and the seafood restaurant were so much better.

Very clean and comfortable! Close to campus and Arcata plaza. Beautiful setting with lush forest—felt like being in a treehouse! The only difficulty was entering the lock code on the front door—it was 10 digits long and had to be entered within 10 seconds! It took several tries but we got better at it. Would definitely stay here again!
