Potter's Bungalow - Near Downtown Plaza, 3 bed

This 1936 Craftsmen inspired, vintage bungalow has been completely restored by an artist so that you can unwind in style. It has just the right combination of color and comfort. The exterior has been painted a warm, sunny yellow creating a very warm welcome. The splash of red in the kitchen adds to its rustic charm. Guests will enjoy how cozy this home feels. Less than 1000 square feet of creatively utilized space offering everything you need for a fabulous getaway. The family/dining room is open to the kitchen with breakfast bar. Enjoy hanging out watching a movie on the flat-screen T.V. Play a game or dine at the cafe- style table. Three well-appointed bedrooms offer sleeping for up to 6 guests with a King, Queen and 2 twin beds. The tile work in the bathroom and one-of-a-kind light fixtures are small works of art. The bathroom has a stall shower.

Take a 12 minute stroll or use the bikes and visit the Plaza in downtown Arcata or enjoy our famous Farmer's Market for fresh, local organic offerings, food and music. This home is a five minute drive from Cal Poly Humboldt! Enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or stop and eat at any of the great restaurants on The Plaza. Sit outside on the front porch and enjoy cocktails or start your day there with some locally roasted coffee. The Greenview Market located across the adjacent pasture is super convenient for last minute items. Indoor laundry makes your stay even easier. Will welcome 1 dog to stay too!

Enjoyed Our Stay

The property was well maintained and clean. I would recommend putting black out curtains on the side of the house that faces the grocery store, Wi-Fi/TV did not work well and there was no complimentary wine as described. Despite these things we enjoyed our stay and would recommend them. Plenty of linens and comfortable beds. Very cute bungalow.

Perfect vacation house for family

This bungalow was the perfect home base for our family trip to Arcata. It had plenty of room and a nice kitchen so we didn’t have to go out for every meal. Our 3 year old daughter loved her room, especially the little stuffed animal turtle on the bed. We will definitely stay here if we visit Arcata again!
