About this property

Jane's Creek Cottage ~ Affordable & Near Cal Poly Humboldt!

* Guest reserving home must be 25 years or older, be staying at the property the entire time and will be considered the responsible party for this booking. Sorry but this is not a pet friendly home, no exceptions. *

Jane's Creek Cottage is the perfect place to stay if looking for a quiet retreat while exploring the Redwoods or visiting Cal Poly Humboldt. Families will love staying here while visiting their Cal Poly student and will feel right at home. Start the day with coffee on the covered porch then walk or drive to the Redwoods, campus or downtown, all are just a short distance away. After a day of adventure guests will love returning to this charming retreat that feels like a restored farmhouse filled with both modern and vintage decor. The wide plank faux wood floors add to the country ambiance. Visit the Arcata Farmer's Market or wonderful gourmet, organic grocery stores, Wildberries or the Co-Op and return to cook a delicious meal in the fully stocked kitchen with a gas-stove. Don't feel like cooking then throw some local grass fed beef or fresh fish on the propane BBQ and dine al-fresco on the patio. Sorry, no dishwasher but plenty of dish and glassware provided.

Guests will enjoy a good night's sleep on the comfortable new Queen beds with high quality bedding. Enjoy the large walk-in shower after a day hiking trails in the nearby Arcata Community Forest. Then relax on the sectional sofa and watch a movie on the Smart T.V. with 200 channels. Free WiFi is included. Washer and dryer available for guest use in detached laundry room next door.

This cottage is on a quiet private property that is shared by two other residence and local wildlife, deer are frequently seen. The owner works on-site and offers guests complete privacy but is friendly and willing to tell you about his home and the local area. *Please help us be "good neighbors" by following quiet hours between 10 pm - 8 am, parking in designated spots and respecting the privacy of the other residents. ** Parking is limited to 2 vehicles maximum with additional visitor parking for 1 more car with prior approval.

So Quaint!

My daughter and I were in town for a few days looking into Humboldt for the Fall semester. The location is about a 13 minute, nice walk to the university. The cottage is fully equipped and very comfortable. Decorated nicely and very clean. Hope was so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Our favorite place to stay in Arcata, our home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Always clean, comfortable beds, warm and cozy, prompt responses to text msgs, laundry facilities are clean and on property, close to downtown. We always go to the farmers market in Arcata Plaza on Saturdays. We love the food truck Tacos La Bonita at Alliance and Spear. New restaurants this time were Havana Restaurant and Cafe Marina in Eureka. Enjoyed yummy chocolates at **** Taylor. Los Bagels and Scoops are a must. Didn't make it to the Co-op this visit. But love them too.

Cozy cottage

Jane’s Creek Cottage was very comfortable for my husband and I. The patio area would have been perfect for afternoon wine. However, it was cool and damp while we were in Arcata so maybe we can enjoy the patio next time. The location was great for running errands in town.

Great Location - sweet Bungalow

We loved our stay at this house. The house was very clean, and very close to Cal Poly Humboldt where we were visiting our daughter at college for family week. We did have a few questions about the Tv and the owners responded extremely fast and helped us out. Highly recommend this cute little house.

My visit to Arcata

I was recommended by my friend, Jyll Jackson, to rent; this home for our weekend visit with Jyll. It wasn't much to look at from outside, but the inside was a wonderful surprise. It was clean, well furnished, two-bedroom home for my daughter and myself. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect for visits to Cal Poly Humboldt

This is the perfect spot to stay if you're visiting Cal Poly Humboldt. You won't find anything closer! Property was clean, quiet, and beds were comfy. If you're arriving at night when it's dark, be aware street lighting is minimal. This made it challenging to find the entrance. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Jane’s Creek Cottage very much. It is beautifully decorated, very quiet at night and a short drive to the co op and Wildberries for groceries as well as to the Arcata Community Forest for a hike among the Redwoods. Trinidad is only a short drive away and a must see attraction. We would like to return for another vacation.
