Fenced Yard, Pet Friendly, Cozy Cottage , Great Kitchen, Short Walk to Cal Poly

This comfortable two bedroom cottage is efficiently tucked away in the back corner of a large lot on a country cul-de-sac affording the convenience of a 10 minute walk to town, a 7 minute walk to Cal Poly Humboldt, a 3 minute drive to 101 and the quiet privacy of a rolling rural road. The refurbished original wood floors bring a classic yet new golden beauty to every room. The updated kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and prosumer Bosch and Viking appliances brings equal delight to preparing quick small meals for one or two as it does to being the central gathering point serving up a banquet of varied dishes when entertaining a moderate crowd. Open the sliding glass door and you effectively extend the kitchen to include a propane grill, an additional table and chairs and a long deck allowing up to 20 people to bask in the beautiful summer weather at the same time. Steps at the end of the deck lead to a fully enclosed yard for your exclusive use during your stay so your furry family members can bask in the beautiful summer sun with you so do not feel left out. The driveway next to the cottage fits two cars comfortably. Should you have extra guests, street parking is free, convenient, readily available, and restricted only by your imagination (and common sense, of course. We still live in a civilized society). A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a pool table and well-equipped exercise room.

We absolutely loved this place. It was super clean, safe, and cozy and made the perfect home away from home for our trip to Redwood National park. It was EXACTLY like it appears in the photos and the host really puts some nice effort into thoughtful extras that made us feel super comfortable in a new environment. It was only 6 minutes away from the most beautiful community forest (with hiking trails!) that I've ever seen in my life. Quiet and cute neighborhood with tons of delicious restaurants nearby! Fenced yard was perfect for our dogs to have a private and easy place to do their business. The provided dog towels were a lovely, thoughtful touch and really came in handy after our beach days!Check-in and out was the easiest I've ever experienced and made for a seamless vacation for us and our two dogs. Everything was so well prepared that we only needed to contact the host once and he responded immediately!A What a trip Thanks Craig!

Great if traveling with dogs

Quiet and clean. It is older and no frills. Definitely a bit tricky to locate as it is located behind another home. We really only slept and showered. Did not spend a ton of time. Quiet at night and appreciated being able to have our dogs. .

One night only

We enjoyed our stay but had to cut it short for personal reasons. We appreciated the personal touches provided by the owner, but would have liked more specific directions to get to the house, which was off the street in an alley with only a mailbox across the street to identify the house number. Very quiet neighborhood behind an elementary school, would stay there again.

Visited daughter who went to Humboldt and just got a new job in Arcata working under her degree. Had family and friends for dinner (wonderful stove) as after Thanksgiving, pre Christmas as she will be unable to come home for the holidays. Husband and daughter went crabbing. Good time had by all.

To Rest Your Head

This was a good place to just come to in order to sleep but with the comfort of having your own space. Beds were hard but my Mom liked it & me & my wife did not. Plenty of space for the 3 of us for 2 days to actually only be there to sleep and go do our vacation stuff. There was a couple issues but the host took care of right away. One wasn't his fault the Internet which was great was just acting up the other was there were no towels or a bath matt as well as no TP but once notified he brought it right down & later his other partner brought down more for us. Craig was extremely nice and friendly and he even took the time helping me by giving me some tips on finding the cheaper places to get gas in the area. Overall it was a good stay and worth what we paid for the 2 nights we stayed.

Did not feel safe - Rundown, Unkempt, and Smelled Bad

As we were driving the neighborhood trying to find our rental we noticed lots of random stuff in people's yards (oil cans, washing machines, old cars, etc) and lots of unkempt yards with trash. We drove behind a house to get to the unit. The carport is filled with random stuff and you can't park in it. It is partially closed with some planks of wood leaning against it. The yard was not enclosed (it had a small chair blocking part of the deck) The house seemed beat up and had a weird smell. The pictures do not show the entire property. It took us about 30 minutes after our arrival (at 8:00 PM) to finally get the code to unlock the door. After that we decided we didn't feel safe and we left to go find a hotel. This property is overly priced and falsely advertised. I don't think anyone would call it "quaint."
