ARCATA COMFORTABLE DOWNTOWN RETREAT-2 BEDROOMS WITH FIREPLACE
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (65)
"While the property is located in the heart of Downtown Arcata and is walking distance to everything, the real star of this rental experience was the property manager/owner. I've rented through VRBO many times in the past and have never experienced such thorough details in advance and such a warm welcome upon arrival. We didn't have a need for anything, but it was very reassuring to know that we would likely have a quick response if there was a need. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we...

"I am a well seasoned traveler and own and AirB&B myself. I chose this location based on my knowledge of the area. A true gem and the photos and description does not do this property justice. There were too many amenities to list, and the care and attention to details made us decide we would book this property again, with family next time. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a beautiful, & tranquil spot to stay along the Northern California Coast. FIVE STARS!!"

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (90)
"Great location. The cabin is next to some other cabins, not sure if they’re rentals, or other people who live on the property. So it wasn’t quite as private as I was anticipating. But over all it was a great place to stay for a few days. It might be a little tricky to find if you arrive after dark."

Our dogs weigh 65lb, 55lb, and 8lb, respectively. The yard was fully secure and well kept, so it was easy to clean up after the dogs. There is plenty of street parking on a nice wide street, and there is room for...
