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.

Cal Poly Humboldt Tour
We were visiting Arcata to check out the campus at Cal Poly Humboldt for our daughter. The condo was perfectly located within walking distance of the campus and the Community Forest. We were able toured the campus and then mountain bike the CF all in one day.

Great little townhouse right above HSU. Walkable, if you like hills, and well appointed for staying in or enjoying Arcata. Great spot overall!

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!
