Host was very friendly, accommodating, and pleasant to be around. She made you feel right at home. The whole house and room was very cute, clean, warm, and welcoming. I would defiantly go back!

Everything about mine and my daughter's stay here was perfect. We didn't feel like we stayed with a stranger but instead a friend we hadn't seen in a while. Great hospitality and conversation. Until next time Thank you Genevieve and Cali cat!

Genevieve was an amazing hostess! She was really understanding when we realized my phone had NOT sent the message saying we would be in late (we were driving the 101 and lots of areas with no cell reception). She warmly greeted us, despite the late hour (~11 pm) made us aware of her schedule for the next day and gave us a few recommendations to start us off. The next night she hung out with us for about an hour and a half and gave us a few must see spots on our way out... WOW!!! I can't begin to describe the phenomenal experiences we had visiting two of her favorite areas in the redwoods!!! Fern Canyon is an absolute MUST SEE!!! (We drove south to north) the room was clean and the floor and matching dresser were awesome!! She even let us use her washer and dryer!!! She welcomed us to eat from her terrific garden and we picked blackberries early before we left from a community access spot about two house lengths away from her front door! Absolutely wonderful stay, would love to go back and visit her again during our next west coast adventure!

Staying with Gen (and Kali) felt like visiting with an old friend. She was wonderful. My boyfriend and I stayed over on our way up the Vancouver. He had been to Arcata a few times so he knew the town fairly well, but Gen was able to add an entirely new level of depth to our hiking and nature driving experience. We had a great night in the yard drinking wine and chatting over the fire then had a amazing hike along the coast and into Fern Canyon. On our way out we were headed to Crater Lake then Bend, Or. Gen suggested a scenic route through the Siskiyou mountains that was absolutely breathtaking. Thanks!!!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Gen's place. The bed is very comfortable and Gen is a friendly conversationalist. The location was convenient since we were visiting family in the area.

Genevieve was a great host. The room was just like she said , a cute stenciled room that she did all herself. She gave us all the privacy we needed. The room was a short drive to the beach's and hiking trails. She communicated well and looked out for our needs. Fun to be with. We would definitely go back. And Kali the cat was very personable. A great stay.

Genevieve is the perfect host. We can recommend her place to anyone! She made us feel very welcome right away and we enjoyed the relaxed and open atmosphere. The house is lovingly furnished and everything is very clean. We had a bathroom to ourselves and could use the kitchen whenever we wanted. We got a lot of tips for our stay as well as for our further travel around California which was great. Also, Genevieve has the funniest cat :) If we ever come back to this area of California, we would definitely stay at her place again!

Awesome stay with a great host

Beautiful home, gracious hosts. Enjoyed visiting and later playing pool. Very comfortable bed.

We had a great stay with Scott and Cathrina. The room was neat and comfortable, the house is dig and beautiful with a great garden and balcony. Catarina and Scott were nice and helpful, and gave us great advice and recommendation for dinner and stuff to do around. Also Coach was very friendly :) we wish him a fast recovery.

This was one of the best experiences I have had with airbnb so far. Scott and Katrina were very welcoming and helpful hosts. From providing a space heater and tea when I had a chill to awesome trail recommendations they did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. The location is also very convenient. By taking a beautiful drive up or down the coast you can reach many parks and trails with a moderate drive. And let me tell you, the drive itself is worth it! After spending full days hiking, we felt comfortable returning to our room, which had two big windows equipped with a very comfortable bed with soft sheets and nice lighting. The bathroom was shared but very clean and we never had to wait for it when we needed it. As dog lovers, we also appreciated being greeted by their adorable dog, Coach. Overall, a gem!

Scott did and amazing job of communicating; delivering all pertinent details and answering all questions in a timely manner prior to arrival. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with the rooming arrangement, as it had surpassed our expectations. Upon booking, we were not sure how staying in a room with other tenants in the house would play out, but it was incredibly easy, with tons of privacy if that's what you're looking for. Scott was extremely helpful with nearby trails and sights to see, and made for an easy and inviting stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

It was a great pleasure to stay at the nice house of Scott & Katrina. Very lovely hosts! The guestroom is clean and spacious. There is even a Pool Billard in the shared area.

This is a very clean and lovely house, and convenient (less than a mile) from the person I was meeting with on this trip. Hosts were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed staying there.

Great place! The room was wonderful and the garden was beautiful. Very close to town and close to the university. Scott was very kind and we would definitely recommend!

Scott's home was very nice, clean and very quiet. I could hear water or a fountain in the back yard which was relaxing. Bed was very comfortable which is important to me. Home was beautiful and very, very spacious. I wish I had more time to talk with and get to know them but I was on a business trip and extremely tired so went right up to bed. I will definitely stay at this air B & B again and would definitely recommend it.

Nancy was very welcoming in showing the space and the garden, there is plenty of space available and many amenities such as couch, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, kettle, just need to bring your own bread for breakfast and the rest is there. The house is located in a quiet area near Arcata airport with the beach nearby, town 5min away. We did a lot of hikes in the redwoods and we did not have much time to meet Nancy.

This space was beautiful and very clean. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking the redwood forest. We really enjoyed the provided fruit, yogurt and granola for breakfast. The cookies were delicious. Very cozy space.

Nancy's guest suite was a delightful place to stay! The photos don't do it justice. It's so pleasant and the little artsy touches were a treat to look at. My husband, 13 yr old son and I felt right at home. There are many wonderful touches in this spacious suite - a comfy bed and futon, a loveseat next to the fireplace, outdoor seating around a fire pit, soft robes and towels, and more! Nancy provided several yummy options for breakfast (coffee, tea, juice, cereals, fruit, eggs) and there was also a plum tree right outside with plenty of ripe fruit - delicious! Nancy is warm, friendly, easy to talk with and made us feel so welcome that we wished we had more time to get to know her. (And pug Phoebe is adorable!) If we're in the area again, we'll be sure to stay with Nancy!

We absolutely loved our stay at Nancy's place. She made it easy to feel comfortable and right at home. Great location and close to everything. We look forward to our next stay here!

Nancy was a super host, very responsive. Her place was great for our family of 3. Extras like coffee & tea, and robes & sandals for the hot tub made it very comfortable.

Nancy was a great host- she was very friendly and accommodating, meeting us right as we pulled up with her adorable pug Phoebe to show us the place. The little kitchenette was perfect for making the breakfast goodies she left us and it was stocked with coffee and cream. It was so relaxing and lovely to sit in the hot tub in the secluded backyard under the moon and stars at night as well as in the morning sunshine. The bed was super cozy and the little fireplace kept us quite comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Nancy was a lovely hostess and made us feel very welcome. The suite was extremely clean and comfortable, including the sunny little deck; perfect for a morning cup of coffee. We would definitely consider visiting again (and not just to see that cute little pug!)

Nancy's place was totally fabulous for our stay. We all wished it could have been longer. After a day of driving the hot tub was such a welcome treat. Nancy has looked after every detail to be the perfect Airbnb Super Host. It was well appointed and extremely clean and comfortable.

Fantastic quiet and lovely place to stay, thank you Julie! We may see you again in the near future

As advertised, very clean, great amount of space and easy to access.

Julie's place really makes you feel at home! It's clean and cozy, and the bed is COMFY! Huge plus going on vacation!! We were able to bring our cat for her first trip away from home and she loved being able to play on the deck. We did too, and we appreciate that the deck is fully enclosed!! Julie was kind enough to leave the flood light on leading up the stairs since we were getting in late, which was not an issue for her. Thank you thank you thank you!! We wil hopefully be back!!

Julie's place is absolutely wonderful and had everything we needed for our stay. Both the bed and the sofa bed are super comfortable and Julie left out maps and info for the nearby parks which was very helpful. Highly recommended her place to everyone and will definitely stay here again if and when I'm back in the area!

Place was great, easy to find but still private. Only stayed for 7 hours but would stay again.

This place was everything listed and more. When I texted Julie her response was immediate. We did not get meet this time but perhaps the next time. The place had even more things than were listed: 1. DVD player 2. Bar-B-Que 3. Vitamix - For those who love to make smoothies in the morning you know this is the best blender you van have for that. I highly recommend this place and will stay here again when I am in the area.

We LOVED our stay at this apartment. It was so beautiful and a relaxing place to unwind after long days of exploring the parks nearby. It is located within an hour of several parks which is convenient as well. The apartment itself was beautiful and I kept looking at her décor for my own decorating ideas! Absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. Julie was great too...she came up twice to check in and answer any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the coast!

The stay was perfect julie and family made us feel at home. The experience was perfect. The place was super cute, clean, and just perfect we highly recommend this cute Gem!

Annette and Paul were wonderful hosts. The accommodations were pristine and cozy, and Annette stocked the kitchen with healthy breakfast items. She offered great advice on the local area. One of the best Air BNB experiences I've had thus far!

Absolutely the perfect place to stay from which to explore Northern California! After flying into Sacramento and a very long drive, we were greeted with the perfect accommodations and it was so nice to discover plenty of breakfast ingredients so a trip to a store wasn't necessary late at night. Over our stay, we very much appreciated and enjoyed the eggs, coffee from the local co-op, local jam, organic bread, milk, granola, and two chilled local beers in the refrigerator. The space as a whole has everything needed for a relaxing time. We met Paul and Annette briefly and they were truly great hosts. What a nice introduction to state of California.

We did not have a chance to meet Annette and Paul (their son greeted us during their absence), however we enjoyed the privacy of the separate bedroom with private bathroom and kitchenette. Very nicely decorated, clean and peaceful. The location was easy to find with the directions provided by Annette. We appreciated the small breakfast items left in the kitchen for us. Thank you Annette & Paul!

Annette and Paul were very welcoming. The house was beautifully located, nestled amongst the trees. The room is a separate little studio just off the main entrance. Not only was the room very tidy and cozy, the bed was super comfortable and the kitchen had everything (and more) that we needed. Annette and Paul even filled up the fridge with food for us to use. We would have loved to stay longer, if we had the time. Highly recommend :)!

We didn't met Annette, just Paul, but he was very nice and helpful at our late arrival. Annette has GPS directions written for you but Apple maps brought us to the location no problem at all. It was a very peaceful location out in the woods with a view we enjoyed. The space is connected to their house with a shared entry but you are otherwise separated. They have internet but it is expensive so in their manual they ask you not to stream to much. We brought a movie to play on our laptop and it was no problem at all. It was the perfect place to stop for a good nights rest on our road trip to San Fransisco.

This apartment is a gem! Paul and Annette are very warm and welcoming hosts, and give thought to every detail. The apartment is immaculate and tastefully decorated ,as well as super comfy! The house is surrounded by a gorgeous redwood forest, a short drive from Arcata. I would definitely stay again!!

Annette and Paul were wonderful hosts! Their quick response time and great communication took the stress out of finding a place to stay on our short trip to Humboldt County. We only spoke briefly, but Annette and Paul were very kind. The studio was lovely and quiet, with beautiful views of the trees from the windows. It had everything we needed to make our night there comfortable and relaxing. Thank you so much for hosting us, we enjoyed our time at your beautiful property!

This studio is in a very peaceful location amongst the redwoods. Very quiet, no traffic noise. Although it is small, it is comfortable and very tastefully decorated. Arrival and departure were very flexible and Annette and Paul are friendly hosts.

It was a great spot. Nice, clean and quaint. Would definitely stay again!

We were pleasantly surprised with our cottage. It was comfortable, clean, and the back deck was terrific! Would stay again, and recommend this cottage to anyone.

Great affordable place!

Everything was as promised and email + airbnb communication was prompt. Great location to explore Redwoods and beaches, no frills studio that has everything you need in the kitchen, cute deck in the back overlooking trees and creek. I would say the location is very private, although it's definitely not secluded. Brought earplugs in case the tavern was too noisy but never had any problems. I would definitely stay with Redwood Coast again

WARNING: This is separate commercial vacation rental company using Airbnb instead of their own Web site. There is a bunch of misleading fine print. Read closely, they are only reachable during BUSINESS HOURS so if you have any issues whatsoever, too bad!!! Note this charming bit of fine print: "Furthermore, for unforeseeable reasons, if a vacation home becomes unavailable, even if you have reserved it, due to circumstances beyond our control (house being sold, damaged, double booked etc.) RCVR will make its best effort to offer other accommodations if available. If not available, we will issue a full refund." They tried to do this to me, messaging me AFTER confirming to say that the place was being renovated. They offered to "put me up somewhere else" but then eventually let us stay there. I had trouble finding the place and then finding the code as it was buried in the extensive Terms and Conditions of their separate vacation rental company. I didn't have good 3G service out there so it was not an easy ordeal to get in. I called and called and no one answered or ever returned my calls. Check out time is 10 am(!) which admittedly is indicated but I find that to be ridiculous. Not even hotels have checkout that early.

Super-clean and comfortable spot near beaches and the wonderful towns of the Redwood coast. Cool patio out back too! Definitely recommended.

This place was awesome. It felt very secluded in a good way. Your backyard is the woods and you're also very close to Clam Beach but only 10 minutes from Arcata. The kitchen was great, we made dinner in it. Bathroom was large and clean and had a really nice ceiling heater in it. Would stay again!

The cottage was very cozy and clean. Pictures and description was very accurate. Definitely had some confusion getting the correct lock box code. I had two different "access" codes in my app and email however no lockbox code. When I called to get that, she texted it to me right away however when we arrived at 1:00 am it was an incorrect code. We got in eventually but definitely not what you want to happen when traveling alone with your daughter. Bar was loud and the few lingering drunks definitely made me feel uneasy. It's too bad the cottages aren't a little father away from the bar because we loved it in the morning time. Coffee on the deck was nice!

This has been one of the best air bnb experiences we've had. The place is beautiful and very new looking. We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts had suggestions for the area and even gave us some heads up for our drive in (lots of rain in the area lately). The house instructions were comprehensive and extremely helpful. Beautiful place. Awesome hosts. Perfect stay to see the Redwoods! We loved it.

We LOVED staying in this tiny home in the woods! It was the perfect location for our trip to explore the redwoods. The tiny home was so adorable and Darrell and Joan were so nice and helpful and gave us a wonderful list of places to check out. I hope we can come again soon!

La petite maison est magnifiquement conçu pour faire sentir plus spacieuse que la superficie en pieds carrés suggère. Joan et Darrell tout ce qu'il fallait pour un séjour confortable dans un bel endroit avec un accès facile à l'autoroute. Nous reviendrons.

la place de Darrell et Joan était impeccable. Le cadre est super et ils sont super sympa. Il y avait des fixations pour le petit déjeuner dans la cuisine, linge de maison et de belles peintures de la région sur le mur. Un endroit très agréable d'être.

petite maison de Joan et Darrell est espacé si incroyablement qu'il semble assez spacieuse. Il était un petit bijou sur notre voyage. Nous étions en train de la côte et y sommes restés quelques nuits. Joan était le meilleur hôte et l'endroit était un endroit idéal pour explorer les nombreux sites étonnants les séquoias ont à offrir. Nous retournerons à coup sûr de nous cette façon.

La maison d'hôtes de Darrell et Joan ressemble et se sent comme un beau chalet dans les bois. Cette maison d'hôtes se trouve à quelques yards devant la maison principale et entourée d'une belle forêt luxuriante il est se sent isolée. Il était bien décoré et très confortable. Le quartier est calme et pittoresque. Tout dans la maison est tout neuf et il est plein d'équipements. Je voudrais définitivement encore rester ici!

Darrell and Joan were excellent hosts! They were warm, welcoming, and excited to share their surrounds. We were lucky enough to be the first guests in this house and it was fabulous! It was obvious that a lot of love went into the making of it. It was spotless, comfortable, and had all the amenities. It was a great home base for us as we explored all the amazing things nearby. Highly recommend!

We loved this little house in the redwoods! Joan and Darrell were very welcoming, and checked on us throughout the month we were here, to see if we needed anything. The location was quite convenient, too... a short drive to both McKinleyville and Arcata. Also not too far to the first range of mountains, or to the big redwoods north or south, or to the scenic beaches. A great stay all around!

Sandra's place is just lovely. All painted in warm rose golden earth tones, the whole place has a warm earthy embracing feel to it. The room is all mauve, rose, earthen clay red tones which makes it feel grounding, romantic and relaxing all at the same time. The bed was sooooo comfy and this is an eco friendly house with NO chemical detergents or smells -always appreciated! . The room and bathroom were immaculately clean and the big bathtub is a luxurious treat. Sandra herself is lovely and has that wonderful warm energy that feels like visiting family or a teacher from ones school days or a best friends mum. I felt right away like, "oh, yay, I'm at Auntie Sandra's!" She had some yummy breakfast options on offer in the morning which was really sweet and makes it a real "b&b" experience. The house is just a mile from all of wonderful, walkable Arcata but that one mile out makes it just far enough away that you wouldn't ever hear the rowdy student weekend noise. Its quite the perfect location really. The garden out back looked amazing and well cultivated but I arrived at night and had to rush off in the morning so didn't get time to sit and enjoy the fruits of Sandra's green thumb, but it looked gorgeous and inviting out my window! Definitely a great spot.

What a sweet delight! We arrived tired from a long day of driving to the lovely quiet oasis of this tastefully decorated home. We made tea, took hot showers in the private bath, and collapsed into a big, comfy king-sized bed. The room is off a little garden which provided our first peek into the day. Our kind and sensitive hostess had set the breakfast table, and provided healthy organic breakfast foods, with tea and coffee selections. Sandra arrived near the end of our breakfast and gave us tips for the next leg of our journey. Sharing her naturalist love of the area was an unexpected bonus! Sandra went out of her way to provide all the creature comforts a traveler could wish for. Thank-you so much! Cheryl and Jim

Amazing stay as always. Thanks Sandra !

We spent a very good time in Arcata thanks to Sandra. Her hospitality and kindness were amazing. The house and the room were also very comfy: the bed was huge, the bathroom spacious and we even had an extra room to put our luggage. We would be delighted to find such a good place to sleep wherever we go.

Sandra was a terrific host. She knew I was going to Redwood National Parks and she had brochures ready for me at my arrival and had plenty of suggestions to make my stay feel unique. She also had some fruits and chocolate on arrival near my bed, a very nice touch! The listing was accurate and the pictures were spot on. The neighborhood seemed safe and reliable.

Sandra is a great host- she made us feel very welcome and helped us navigate the "things to do" in the area very well! The house and our room plus private bath was very clean and comfortable! We slept great

Sandra was an excellent host. The location was very good. It was described as posted. We enjoyed our stay very much. We would definitely come back.

We were delighted with our stay at Sandra's beautiful house. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with a really big bed and a lovely private bathroom. Best sleep on our journey! Great communication with Sandra before we arrived and she kindly waited up for our late arrival. Sandra made us feel at home and gave us good recommendations for the local area. We were very pleased to get to know her.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Cris' place, despite it only being a quick stop on our drive through to San Francisco. The house is so nice and the room was very clean and quiet! We really enjoyed seeing all of the animals, too. They were all so friendly! We also had the opportunity to stop by at Cris' restaurant for dinner. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice! Highly recommended, we will happily stay with Cris again if we're ever by that way again in the future!

Cris' Farm was absolutely amazing! My wife and I stayed there for a week and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It's a perfect distance away from the noise and busyness of town, while still close to restaurants, shopping, gas, beaches, hiking, and more. Every morning we had farm fresh eggs and coffee available for breakfast as well as access to her entire kitchen. Cris made us feel totally at home, and it was easy to relax. Her pets were also very friendly!

Nice quiet spot! Loved the animals

Cris was an awesome host. She gave us great recommendations on places to explore the Redwoods and made us delicious coffee in the morning. The room was warm and cozy, and I loved waking up to chickens and ducks outside our window.

Wonderful space in a beautiful place! Cris was kind and welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. We loved meeting her dogs and watching the chickens, ducks and cows from our bedroom window. Delicious fresh eggs in the morning was a delightful bonus as well. Thank you!

We felt right at home! What a cute place with a great garden and nice, cuddly pets! Our private room was spotless, had a great bathroom, and a super comfy bed. Cris was very nice and helpful. We hardly saw her since she was working which was nice since it felt private and not awkward being in someone's home. She greeted us once home and was very friendly. We loved cuddling the cats and petting the dogs (all very nice).

Nice big room and bathroom attached. Check in whenever! Great stay.

Enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend it and would love to return one day. Fresh eggs were amazing and coming from Los Angeles, city life, this was a fun farmhouse experience for me and my pup. Thank you!

This was a true home away from home. House was nice and convenient located to shops and the beach. Jason gave prompt responses when we were having troubles hooking to the Internet and other problems. Our daughters loved the house and our one daughter grew attached to one of the stuffed animals under the bed. Great stay great experience, great hosts!

Our stay was amazing! Having such a comfortable and inviting home to come back to after going on excursions to the beach, river and parks made a huge difference. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and the use of the washer and dryer was nice as well. I would definitely look for this spot again the next time I come up to the area.

Jason and his family were extremely gracious hosts. Their home is warm and very organized. My parents and I really felt cozy and at gown during the break we took while driving down the pacific coastline. Jason was extremely communicative and helpful while we were exploring the area. We would love to stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and had comfortable. The owners were very accommodating and easy to get a hold of.

Jason was very informative, cheerful and accommodating. The location was perfect for visiting the area from Arcata north. The house was very clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was nice. We would definitely stay in Jason's home again!

This is the first time I used Airbnb and I was total impressed by Jason’s hospitality. Jason’s house is spacious and conveniently located (close to US-1, Safeway etc). It is fully equipped with everything you need in every corner from bedrooms, bathrooms to kitchen. Tons of cook ware and dinner ware. The house is very clean and very organized. We (my wife and her parents who traveled with us) especially love the decoration of the houses which features photos and artifacts from their three beautiful daughters and the love stories of Jason and his bride. My infant and toddler children enjoyed play with the fitness ball and miniature chair as well as the apple tree in the backyard. Actually, we never met Jason but he always response my question promptly through email. It really felt like my own home. I sincerely appreciate the happiness this house brought to my family during the first vacation of my younger son (11-month). I wish I had stayed there longer :) I high recommend Jason’s house. If I have to pick up something that could be better, I would say, fixing the cloth dryer would be a plus.

Jason was very quick to respond and very polite before our trip. My husband and I, along with our two kids, spent Thanksgiving weekend in his home. All was great until the final evening when we noticed an undisclosed wireless camera monitoring the living room, dining room and kitchen areas. I understand that homeowners want to protect their property and make sure renters follow the rules, but I feel this is a very creepy way of going about it. Airbnb policy states that they SHOULD fully disclose any and all security cameras and surveillance equipment to their guests. Undisclosed cameras just feel extremely sketchy and wrong. My family and I would have happily stayed in a hotel if we had been told ahead of time that we would be monitored inside of the home. The camera was very visible, but we didn't notice it until the end of our stay. I immediately had my husband turn it around. The device was plugged in with a small green power indicator light in the back of the panel. It's the wireless ADT Day/Night camera which provides live streaming video to the owner's cell phone or computer. Our uneasy feelings now completely overshadow the lovely stay we had leading up to this discovery. Privacy = Peace of mind

Jason's home was comfortable and relaxing to be in. The kitchen has everything necessary for some serious cooking. Jason made communication extremely easy as I had some special requests which he worked out with me. Grateful for his generous nature and grateful for his home that served our every need to be close to family.

This was our very first AirBnB stay! Maegan had made us feel very welcomed to her home. The process was smooth and easy. Maegan provided great communication, courtesy and tact.

The family life is great at Maegan's place. Great kids and a great Mom. Expect the typical family life with kids, playing, a little crying, laughing and fun. Reading is important to Maegan as is a good routine of early bedtime. it's good stuff, real life.

Made us feel as if we were family visiting, we felt so welcome here.

Never stayed with the folks, communication missunderstanding

Maegan's a fantastic AirBnB host that is eager to help you see the best parts of Northern California. My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to talk and stay with her sooner!

Maegan's place was in a great location and was very clean and comfortable. Maegan was a friendly and accomodating host and gave some great tips for the area. Open use of the kitchen was a huge bonus and we were made to feel very comfortable using the space as our own.

Very great place . The best place ever for me in California

The room was very comfortable. It was great having the tiny fridge for any food leftovers, along with the electric kettle to make my morning and evening coffee and tea, with the selection that is provided. I chose this spot since I knew there were children in the house and I was traveling with my toddler. He didn't want to leave when it came time to. I would definitely stay again if I make it up that way.

I felt like home sweet home , the place was real good to stay in , it was near the Humboldt state university , Melanie Patrick she treated us very good , she very much helpful to know the place, my daughter like to stay there for the whole year, but i put her in university stay , she enjoyed both place. i thank Melanie for the support to me and my daughter. with love and regards Clint Joseph Pondicherry, India

Melanie's place couldn't have been more perfect for our needs! Highly recommended!!

Melanie was a gracious host and welcoming host. We especially appreciated the privacy that her room provided and greatly enjoyed the outdoor shower. Her location is convenient, with just a short drive to town. We would definitely return should the occasion arise.

The Garden Studio is great! It's was perfect for me, I was very comfortable. It's in a convenient location in Arcata, very easy to get into town. Melanie is a delight. She has a great thing going! I will go back! The only disclaimer I would give, is that there is an outdoor shower. I was fine with it, but if that is not attractive to you, you may not be into it. Also, it most like would not work well for a tall person. Otherwise, great!

Melanie made me feel very welcome. She even offered to pick me up at the airport as I had a late flight in. The studio is petite and charming with everything I needed. What fed my soul is the lovely au natural adjoining garden and grounds. The peace of being close to nature abounds and being near the goats and chickens ( and doves! ) was soothing. The aroma of fresh rosemary, oregano and thyme greeted me early mornings and calmed me at night. Melanie has captured the beauty of being in the Redwoods on a new level for me. She is a natural and warm host. Blessed be.

This was the best AirBnb experience I've ever had. The cottage is just delightful. The location from downtown Arcata is perfect. The bed is comfortable. The outdoor shower is fabulous. All the amenities you need and a few you maybe didn't think of are there. Melanie is wonderful and her animals are the best perk ever. It makes me wish I had more reasons to visit Arcata.

Perfect and magical - Melanie's garden studio is absolutely serene. Her property is an urban ranch, complete with goats and chickens. Your studio apartment is in the garden and you shower among fragrant flowers in a charming garden shed complete with fairy lights. Melanie could not be more welcoming and provides everything you might need. Thanks again!

Mel made me incredibly welcome. The studio itself is perfect with everything you need from espresso maker to corkscrew (usually my most important requirements)! It's a really cosy nice place to be. The fresh flowers also made me feel really welcome and the shower is GREAT! But this is not the best thing about this space. Mel is a wonderful, warm and interesting person who made me feel incredibly welcome and added hugely to my experience in Arcata and California. She shared her experience and knowledge of the area with me and in a very short time made me feel so at home that it was a wrench to leave. Without Mel there are many places in Arcata that I wouldn't have known about and I'm touched that she shared them with me. It was a really magical time and place for me. Also I got to feed the goats and chickens and hang out with Baron the dog which was huge fun. I had a wonderful time :)

Laurel was an absolute pleasure! She made us feel very welcome and her home is incredible as it's very artistic and unique...and she is as well!!! We were very comfortable not only in our room but also in the neighborhood as there are many cute places to eat and drink. I look forward to coming back to Arcata and I would definitely recommend staying with this friendly, interesting, and welcoming host!

Amazing house and garden. Gracious and welcoming hosts. Beautiful, clean private room with nice balcony. Great location and made our trip to Arcata extra special!

We had such a great time staying with Laurel and Marley in their magical Arcata hideaway! It was the perfect place to stop as we explored the Northern California Redwoods. The location can't be beat - only a few blocks away you'll find a super charming town square with lots of food/drink/entertainment options. Laurel and Marley were fantastic, welcoming hosts. Even after we left and realized we forgot a pair of shoes in the room, they were extremely accommodating and helpful to reunite us with our lost item. :) Stay here if you find yourself in Arcata!

A magical house and gracious hosts. We truly enjoyed our night at Laurel's. It's quiet, spacious and central to all things. A must if you're spending a night in Arcata.

Laurel and her daughter were very welcoming and kind. Their house is amazing with lots of interesting things to look at and enjoy. It was really a fun place to visit. I wish we could have stayed longer and seen it all. The upstairs room is private and comfortable. We enjoyed adding to the art on the stairs. The pets were super cute and friendly too.

Laurel and her daughter Marley are two of the most pleasant and interesting people it has been my fortune to meet. They are mosaic artists and have turned their home into a large, still evolving, work of art. Every corner, every nook contains some something to interest and delight the eye. The room up stairs is a funky, eclectic amalgam of styles that work incredibly well together. A lovely mosaic topped cafe table next to a wide, comfortable mission style bed topped with art deco lamps are just a few of the high points. To add an extra boost were the chocolates on the pillows and a tray of fresh fruit and bottled water. I highly recommend spending time in the back yard. Heavily shaded and quiet it makes for a great place to slow down and let your mind clear. Laurel was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable supporter of her great little town. We may have passed on the town square farmers market that happens every week had it not been for her urging us to see it. Mayberry meets Woodstock is how I can best describe the feeling there. If I get the chance to pass through the Arcata area again I will certainly try to stay with Laurel and Marly again.

This was my favorite airbnb stay during our three week vacation. The house is a dreamy oasis with every kind of art and nationality represented by way of colors, fabrics and textures. One cannot see it all in one visit, there is simply too many details to look upon and yet despite all of that, it was the most calm and comfortable room we stayed in. Not only is the house a work of art but Laurel was therapeutic to talk to as I am an artist trapped in a dull work life right now. I feel much more inspired to turn to my artwork again. It seems rather strange that you just need the right person to give you "permission" to create again. Thanks so much for having us!

We felt right at home the moment we pulled up to the house. Laurel was a great hostess, very easy going. Her place was warm and inviting, even more so with Dharma the "big Love" sheep dog and the two cats. This was a memorable stay on a memorable trip.

Really lovely apartment, minutes from the main square. Big size kitchen, and bathroom, and nice bed + double sofa. Romi was a fantastic host, going out of her way to buy us bread and cheese and bottle of wine. Thanks!!

We were very friendly welcomed by our host. He gave us some advice of where to hike and other tips for our stay. In the apartment there were some treats waiting for us and more information and tips for things to do in Arcata. The apartment is great for a stay of a family of four. A organic suparmarket is across the street and one block away you'll find a laundry with great service. We higly recommend this place and host.

Amazing room that is walking distance from downtown and the Redwoods. The apartment was beautiful and had everything we needed and more.

We loved our brief stay! Romi is a wonderful host and made us feel like we were visiting a friend instead of just passing through somewhere for the night.

We found the apartment to be perfect for our needs for one night in Arcata! Romi was a wonderful hostess who generously provided us with a bottle of wine, bread, and cheese during our stay, totally unexpected! Enjoyed the view as well and the convenient location in the middle of town, highly recommend this accommodation!

Romi was very kind and quick to reply if I needed anything. She also was very lenient when itinerary was adjusted. The room was just as pictures. Clean and spacious. Romi also greeted us with freshly baked bread and local cheese and wine.

The host was courteous, helpful and made us feel most welcome. The accommodation was exactly as described. As a former resident of Arcata, I can state that the location is ideal for accessing the central parts of town on foot, as well as offering quick access to US 101. Our stay was a very enjoyable one. This accommodation is highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely experience and it's obvious why Romi and Glenn are super hosts! Delightful location right between downtown and Humboldt campus and across the street from a wonderful grocery store. We didn't want to leave it was so cozy and sweet!

Devon was the perfect host. We loved our room, it was private and beautifully finished. We enjoyed reading and relaxing in the afternoon sun in the private garden and later having wine in the evening by the fire pit. Devon was accommodating and generous with providing her delicious free range eggs and baguette for breakfast. She is respectful of your privacy but also is happy to chat and share her knowledge of the area. It is worth taking a walk around Trinidad Head if you have reasonable fitness and it is a clear day. The view is amazing. Thank you Devon for your hospitality.

Devon was just great. I arrived a day early in my error and she helped find alternate accommodations. She also washed my clothes after two weeks on the road riding my cycle which was much appreciated (but please don't assume this service). The room is large, private, with a desk and patio area. Would return.

This stay was amazing! It was my first bnb experience and I couldn't be happier with it. My girlfriend and and I got engaged while staying here. It's only a quick walk to the beach and a short drive from anywhere you want to go. The atmosphere is super peaceful and the host is amazingly nice. I would recommend this place for anyone trying to get a real getaway. Thanks so much for making our stay so special Devon and thanks for the fresh eggs from the chickens!

This experience was absolutely fantastic. The room itself was exactly as pictured/described and Devon was a great host. The room has a completely private entry and outdoor space through a wooden gate right off of the driveway. Devon shared her driveway space with us, so parking was super easy. The room is very spacious with a comfortable bed, a separate couch/sitting area and a small table with 2 chairs for breakfast and coffee. The bathroom is a great size too, with a nice walk-in shower. She has all the essentials you will need...mini refrigerator, drinking water, eating utensils, wine glasses and opener, etc. She even supplied us with some bread, cream for coffee and some hard boiled eggs from her chickens!! I can't say enough nice things about Devon. She is wonderful. Overall, the stay was perfect. We were 20-25 minutes from a great hiking area in the Redwood National Park (drive north on Hwy 101 to a visitor center near Orick and thy will give you trail recommendations). The house is only 5-7 minutes from the main part of town. There is a small grocery store and a few restaurants there. Also, there are hiking opportunities only 5-10 minutes from her house. We asked for a few of her favorites, and her recommendations didn't disappoint.

Devon's place is a perfect spot to explore the Redwoods and nearby coast - spacious, spotlessly clean, and much more private than most 'private rooms' on Airbnb as you have your own entrance, yard and bathroom. Devon was really lovely and helpful, and we loved the eggs from her hens and fresh baguette she left us! Would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

This place was great. It is a cozy little suite with everything you would need for your stay. The highway is easily accessible as the house is only a few minute drive away.

The room is lovely, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood not far from the beach and about 2 miles to the village of Trinadad. The garden view is beautiful.

Devon keeps an absolutely beautiful space! The furniture is clean and comfortable as well as cute, the amenities were outstanding, and she prepared delicious hard boiled eggs and dropped off a baguette for us. All communication was prompt, friendly, and clear. I can't wait to come back!

This is truly a romantic little get away. Private and your front porch overlooks a lovely organic garden. This is a great place for you and a loved one to sit, sip on a glass of wine and have a truly magical and relaxing moment. Once you have done that you can walk right down to CoOP and get yourself some supper or nibbles to stock the fridge for your stay. When it gets dark and you want to enjoy the fresh air even more you can slip into 1 of 2 amazingly soft robes and go around the corner and get into the hot tub. Great place for 2 adults looking for a getaway. If you're looking for a large family place this is not the one.

Michael and his wife were incredibly welcoming and gracious hosts. Their home is located a few blocks from the center of town, making in the perfect home base for exploring Arcata on foot. The guest cottage is charming and artfully stocked with everything you might need, including quite the miniature kitchen setup. Just outside the cottage door is their beautiful vegetable garden. The outdoor hot tub was a particular treat on a cold night. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

This was a charming little cottage, tucked away in the town of Arcata. We came for Godwit Days, so didn't spend too much time hanging out at the cottage going on our planned birding excursions, but to our delight, Michael and April were so accommodating to out late arrival Friday night. Everything you could need was here, along with some other personal touches provided by our hosts based on our initial conversations-ROMANCE! Centrally located, we walked to dinner and around the little downtown area for breakfast Sunday morning. Run, do not walk to Harvest for Sunday Brunch! We had an exquisite dinner at Salt Fish House! I would come back here time and time again! Our hosts were incredible!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Charming Garden Cottage. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts. They were very excited to show us, their first guests, around. They clearly took a lot of time to make sure we would have everything we might need. The cottage was clean, quiet and private. We loved sitting on the front porch enjoying the garden and a rare bit of sunshine. We left feeling as if we were saying good-bye to friends.

Great place! Michael (and fur babies Phoebe and Bentley) greeted me when I arrived and showed me around. He had fresh strawberries, blueberries, and snap peas on the table and pastries and eggs in the fridge. I like using the little kitchen burner to make tea and relaxing in the garden. The hot tub was fabulous and it was easy to walk anywhere in town, but still quiet at night.

Michael and April were exceptionally kind, generous, and welcoming hosts. The cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and perfectly appointed. Chocolates, breakfast items in the fridge, a bottle of wine, fruit, and local area recommendations were waiting for me when I arrived. The organic garden by the cottage was an extra treat. I sampled the strawberries, and they were delicious. On my last night Michael and April brought me crab cakes (Michael had caught the crab) and salmon for dinner. Heavenly. I've just moved to Arcata and couldn't have felt more welcomed. The Garden Cottage is a gem, and Michael and April are exceptional hosts!

We stayed here for 5 nights with my wife and our two daughters (ages 19 and 17). Michael and his wife greeted us when we arrived and gave as tour of the cottage. They had the fridge stocked with eggs, butter, OJ, peanut butter, croissants etc. They also had a bottle of red wine and fresh fruit for us. The cottage is small, cozy and has everything you need. The couch folds out into a full size bed that our daughters slept on. They said it was comfortable. The queen bed is comfortable too. The weather was nice so we just left the small window open. The shower is a stand up stall. The water pressure is good and there was enough hot water for the four of us. We like to cook at all the places we stay at. If you are just making eggs and toast the kitchen is perfect. But the kitchen is small for making much more. We asked for a grill to use while there and Michael brought over a grill, coals and utensils for us to use. We liked to eat outside in the garden since it's so pretty. They have two nice chairs and two little cup tables. We picked tomatoes, basil and cucumbers for lunch each day we were there. And my youngest picked berries each day too. The jacuzzi which we used twice, was very hot! Which we loved! They also have two white bathrobes. April gave us a list of things to visit while in town and places to eat at which was helpful. The location is perfect and in the center of town. We walked everywhere for breakfast and dinner. There is a great organic market close by as well. On Saturday they had a farmers market that was nice. The ice cream shop called Arcata Scoop is within walking distance and serves delicious ice cream. Our daughters were there almost every night.

No reason to stay in an Arcata hotel when a place this charming is available. It is a clean place in a great location with wonderful hosts.

The cabin was clean and modern with adequate space for a couple or small party. My stay was cut a day short by an emergency. Jeffrey refunded me for the day that was paid for, but not used.

The location is great and we especially loved the wood burning stove. The cabin stayed warm & dry during a weekend of heavy rain! A great place to unwind.

Absolutely wonderful stay at the cozy cabin! My wife and I went here for 4 nights for a romantic getaway and were really upset to leave this perfect beautiful cabin. The pictures don't do it justice! So peaceful and serene away from any distractions, would HIGHLY recommend!

A remote, sweet little cabin in the redwoods within a 10 minute drive to Arcata. We especially enjoyed the wood stove & the little claw foot bathtub. Comfortable beds & nice walks. The kitchen is well stocked & functional although it takes a little creativity as the counter space is limited.

We stayed in Jeffrey's cozy cabin for an impromptu weekend away in Fall 2016. The cabin is tucked away in a wooded area, but still only a short drive to Arcata. The cabin is indeed cozy, and we had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. The place sleeps four: two in the main bed and two in the loft area above, which is accessed via a ladder. As the loft is directly above the main bed, the cabin is best suited for families or close friends. We loved the place and would certainly stay again!

This is a unique place to stay. Every detail of the cottage is beautifully designed and implemented. A lost paradise where you can retreat from all the noise. You can see love and passion put into every detail of this beautiful living space. Jeff is a very thoughtful and respectful artist and the staying experience was extremely pleasant and inspiring. Will come back soon!
