Trip to the Amazing Redwoods

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!!

Underwhelming and Overpriced

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.

Lovely Townhouse Amongst the Redwoods

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!

Perfect location in Arcata Forest and Cal Poly Border

This large condo was perfect. Clean and perfect location to drive anywhere in 3-5 minutes or bike/walk if you want to site see. We hiked into Cal Poly to the main trailhead of Arcata Community Forest, quick 5 minute walk and you are in the forest. Drive to Trinidad easy every time. Arcata is an awesome town. Loved the balcony, too. It was like a treehouse. The college land starts in front so it has a nice, large border of woods. We will be back to the best town in America. 10 out of 10 stars, no complaints.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Peaceful townhome close to the Forest

We enjoyed our stay - the home was clean and comfy. Beautiful views of the Forest and perfect location for all our North Coast activities - hiking, drives College Cove, Patrick's Point, Trinidad, Eel River and The Trees of Mystery. It was so nice after being gone all day - to come back to the comforts of home. Communication was excellent and instructions very clear. Only con would be parking, if you have a large SUV - the space worked perfect for our small Mazda SUV.

Nice place close to CPH campus

This place was great for visiting the CPH campus and worked well for our family. It was stocked with the basics and we had a comfortable stay. Our bed was comfortable and my daughter said the loft bed was comfortable as well. My other daughter didn't like the feel of the foam topper on the queen in their room, but after testing it myself, it felt fine to me. I'm giving it four stars only because the place was pretty dusty when we arrived--not in the main areas of use, but all the blinds, under the beds and area not used as much had a lot of dust, so my nose was twitching the entire time we stayed. It was also very musty when we arrived and we had to air the place out for a bit--maybe no one had visited in awhile? (or it could just be because that's Humboldt!). Additionally, if you are very sensitive to noise, you could definitely hear the downstairs tenant when they were on the phone (they were otherwise quiet and not their fault). The rest of the house was very clean though and I would recommend staying here if you are visiting the campus.

Great HSU adjacent spot!

We loved our stay at the cozy townhouse, which was pleasantly spacious and well-situated. All the directions were great, and we were very comfortable during our stay. The hike to campus through the redwoods is lovely, and we appreciated being only a short drive away from downtown Aracata (in clement weather a bike ride into town would be perfect!) We’ll definitely be recommending this location to friends and family.

Great location but don’t plan on doing much cooking with their supplies.

The longer we stayed the more we felt the kitchen needed better cooking utensils, cutlery, skillets, and over all supplies. Microwave very out dated and hardly heated up anything. Lampshade tattered on one living room lamp, scare light at kitchen table. We rent VRBo’;s because we want to cook but we were sorely prepared for what was provided in the way of cooking. Feedback to owners should include their need to buy new microwave and utensils/cutlery/skillet. Knives all dull, could barely cut up veggies or our french bread. We’re not fussy but come on, enough with garage sale items!

Nice townhouse

Roomy, comfortable, loved the deck. Glad I brought my own coffee supplies as I couldn’t find filters for the coffee maker. Terrace is a very small street, more of an alley. Had a little hard time finding the property as it was up a hill I thought was someone else’s driveway. But that’s me. This place is well located close to town, and the forest. Near fwy but not so near you hear it. Peaceful and quiet here.
