Cozy and comfortable

This place proves that good things come in small packages! This was a super comfortable place to stay while visiting my daughter. It was great to be able to bring my dog, but I will say the lay out is more suited to smaller breeds. Comfortable cleans and cozy.

Stayed here for Humboldt family weekend and it was very walkable to school and to Arcata. Great, quiet neighborhood and the place had a secluded backyard. Everything you need was there in the galley kitchen, and it was a comfortable stay. Loved the local cat!

Overnight stay

We stopped over for a single night but everything was better than expected. Great price for the comfort and cleanliness. The bed and entire facility was extremely well furnished and very comfortable. We had a great nights sleep which is exactly what we needed. One of the cleanest and well kept facilities I’ve stayed at for the price.

Quiet, peaceful, clean

Very pleasant and quiet neighborhood. Rental very clean and very reasonably priced. Only thing to fault is need to be careful not to overload electrical circuit. Could not get IPad to charge, but able to charge it at my daughter’s campus apartment. However, the WiFi worked well and I throughly enjoyed my stay.

Charming and peaceful

This rental is perfect for one person or a couple! Very thoughtfully appointed with amenities and very private. The neighborhood is beautiful and surrounded by little parks and trails, and is very close to Murphy’s grocery store and Cal Poly Humboldt. I honestly have zero complaints about my stay here and would recommend it for anyone visiting Arcata. Very lovely experience!

Clean & cozy

This space is clean & private, excellent for one person, would be tight for 2. Everything is well-marked and easy to figure out. There is a binder with thoughtful suggestions of where to eat and what to do in the area as well as a bicycle to use around this bicycle-friendly town. The private yard is a little soggy though was welcome given the sunshine we got in the morning. Many thanks.

Loved my stay here. Cute little tiny home, with really cute decor. Perfect spot to do some yoga in the sun room, and drink coffee in the morning. Great launch point for the adventures in the area like the redwood forests or moonstone beach, or a stopover to get to the river.

Lovely little place

It was a lovely place that the owner clearly has devoted some time and energy to fill with chic decor and art work, with sweetly scented nontoxic lotions, soaps and hair products and quality linens. It is a converted shed and the walls are paper thin, but it's on a very quiet street.
