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.

Something came up last minute and we were not able to stay here, so I cannot give an accurate review. I can day that the reservation process was very smooth and we got a quick response.

Great "weekend getaway" place! Really close to the coast, not far from the Redwoods.

The place was really nice and clean. Wished we would have gotten in a little earlier to enjoy the back deck. The cookies were a pleasant surprise.

Great place to stay! Gorgeous trees surrounding the place, with a back patio to enjoy all of it. Super close to the beach as well. Perfect place to come have a small getaway!

Great place! Secluded, relaxing, fun bar just right outside.

Our stay here was awesome!! Super close to the beach, the pub right next door and a short drive to town. I could have stayed for a week, very nice and better than I even expected!!

This is a mixed review: the positive first. The place was clean, as described, the owner responded quickly, as well as the property manager to take care of a problem while there. The bed was comfortable and the back deck is nice. The place has windows that shut tightly to try to block out the noise of the Tavern right next to this place, but it still did not completely shut out the loud music until late at night. If you are younger and like this, then this will work for you. We would have given a higher rating if not for the night noise.

Easy & convenient. Room's were clean. Quick access to hw101. Ideal for a stay at westcoast.

Cris is an amazing host. Her studio is comfortable, thoughtfully decorated, and met all of our needs. We had a perfect day touring the Redwoods on her advice of places to hike and visit when we tired of hiking. Dinner at folie douce was a dining experience. The food was delicious and the attention paid to fair trade was refreshing. Do not leave without a scoop of ice cream matched perfectly with a house cookie. As my first experience with airb&b, I have a strong feeling that no other place will measure up to this experience.

Cris's mini home is the perfect place to set up camp while exploring Northern California. Her place easily accommodated our group of 3 in this wonderfully decorated and clean space. Cris was quick to respond to our questions and needs. She provided a great balance of country charm and creature comforts.

We absolutely loved our cozy suite! It has everything you can ever need in order to be super comfortable or even if you want to cook up a meal. The place is very bright and sunny in the day but if you want to sleep in there are very good window shades in every room in order to shut out any light if you need to sleep in during the day. The window views are very scenic! Cris, our host, was very welcoming from the beginning and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. And she gave us complete space and privacy. We will definitely come back!! Thank you Cris!

Cris made our stay so wonderful with her generosity and kindness! We had such a lovely stay and enjoyed her beautiful piece of paradise! The home is so tastefully decorated and amazingly equipped! We could not have asked for a more beautiful farm setting with the wonder cows, and fresh farm veggies and eggs! Can't wait to go back!

I loved my stay in the studio! Cris is an excellent host and has thought of everything! The studio is open and warm with great bird and garden gazing. I highly recommend Cris and the space. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Great place! Cris was very nice and her lovely daughter gave us lots of helpful info about the area and the university. Loved all the animals, the garden and the quiet. The place was a nice size for us 3 and the pullout bed was comfy. Definitely would love to stay here again when we are in the area.

We LOVED this place. It is so peaceful, very quiet, and the kitchen is well stocked. What a nice place to rest. Highly recommend.

Experience at Cris's house was phenomenal. There are tons of amenities, everything organic which is a big plus. Cris is very efficient for and friendly. The place can't be more clean and peaceful. Highly recommend. Thanks again cris, we all really enjoyed our stay!

Bob and Amy's place is great! Clean, well appointed, comfy bed, well stocked fridge, look forward to staying there again soon.

Our stay at Bob's Black Cat Alley cottage was very cozy, warm, and quaint. This little cottage had everything we needed for our short stay in Arcata. The Bed was super comfortable, bathroom well stocked with towels. The kitchen had all the supplies I needed from wine opener to bakeware! And to top it all off, the vinyl record player with some very awesome records entertained us while we got ready for the night out and during breakfast in the morning! I Highly recommend this sweet little gem to anyone!

Great little place! My friend and I were in town for a night and while we didn't spend much time in the private little in-law, we did find it very comfortable and cozy. After having stayed, my girlfriend and I have decided to make another trip up to Arcata and we're hoping to get this same spot. I didn't speak with Bob in person but he was very easy to communicate with over the phone and his wife was very friendly and helpful; there to greet us and show us the space. All in all, a great experience and I look forward to making another visit!

Michael and I had a wonderful time staying in Arcata. Bob and Amy were welcoming and greeted us upon arrival. They were available if we needed them, and their place was very private. The entrance is down an alley, with a garden on the side. The studio is very cozy with tons of books and records and a record player. We absolutely loved our stay here and can't wait to come back!

Really beautiful home, with one of the softest bed eeeevvver.

Black Cat Alley Hideaway was perfect . Clean, comfortable & very well equipped. We were so glad to have met Amy. A great stay & we appreciated the little touches. We would recommend it for anyone.

Our daughter had recommended this place to us and it certainly lived up to everything she had told us it would be - beautifully decorated, friendly hosts, and great location for walking into town.

We really enjoyed our stay at Black Cat Alley! The location was perfect, Amy is a super thoughtful host and the setting was private. Everything we were looking for!

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!

Comfortable and very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen stocked with delicious homemade banana bread and some snacks. Check-in/check-out were easy, and Audrey provided some good recommendations on things to do and places to eat.

GREAT

Audrey's place was a close walk to HSU and downtown Arcata. It was beautiful furnished and quiet at night. We had a wonderful time using the sunset suite as our home base for our north coast adventure!

Audrey ist eine grossartige Gastgeberin umd hat uns auch nach 3 Stunden Verspätung durch eine Strassensperrung um 21 Uhr herzlichst empfangen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, ein grossartiges Bett, ein neues sehr schoenes Bad. Eine Kochnische mit vielen Extras: verschiedene Kaffeesorten, Fruehstueckscerealien, Obst, Wein Joghurt, Kaese und ein selbstgemachtes Bananenbrot runden das Wohlfühlen ab. Audrey hat uns viele wertvoll Tips fuer die Erkundung der Umgebung gegeben. Eine grossartige Unterkunft. Sehr empfehlenswert, vielen Dank Audrey

Staying at Audrey's was an absolute charm. It was perfectly located for us, as we navigated between the campus and downtown districts. The cleanliness and other comforts of the space were extremely well thought through (no doubt due to her years in hospitality), from the coffee maker to the orange juice in the fridge and extra towels in the freshly renovated bathroom. Audrey was great at communicating and we had an extremely smooth exchange of keys and important details.

Great communicator and warm welcome. Everything one would need in new, clean, comfortable surroundings. Good value for price charged. Very easily accessible from the 101 in a simple, quiet neighbourhood. Small,private garden space perfect for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I can give this listing a strong recommendation.

This is a delightful small studio with kitchen and full bath. Everything is modern and clean. Audrey went out of her way to accommodate our late arrival and we enjoyed our contact with her.

Great place to stay on our trip to northern CA. Audrey made sure we had everything we could want and even made us a kid of banana bread and left out a bottle of wine. Highly recommend

Julia's place was such a cute and beautiful getaway! So happy we stayed here. It was very close to downtown and was very peaceful.

Amazing and a very cozy place that worked perfect for all our needs.

This place is so cute! Only stayed for one night but was super close to downtown & a great brewery. My boyfriend & I even found the old battleship game that Julia had provided. I highly recommend this place.

Julia was very responsive right from booking. The location is ideal and walkable to everything you'd need. The cottage setting was spacious and the courtyard sealed off from the street was an extra perk. Loved the special additions of farm fresh eggs, oatmeal and popcorn to make guests feel welcome and inspire us to get cozy and cook. I would definitely stay here again!

This was a wonderful place to stay with our dogs!

The Front Porch #9 is a stunning little abode whose richly colored walls and decorations inspires relaxation and welcoming. Julia's information for available resources, about the apartment, and it's hygiene are very thorough. The renovated inn has very friendly neighbors, sweet pond, and small garden. Everything was sublimely clean, and we really treasured access to Netflix. There seems to be no need that Julia has left in answered, and extended generosity offering farm fresh eggs. We were very lucky to have found this place with a day of opening and (URL HIDDEN) was very prompt in rescuing us from our rained out camping plans. Thank you for an exquisite stay.

Julia's little studio was great and exactly what we were looking for in our stay in Arcata. The place was very clean and well put together, and the courtyard looks like a great place to hang around when the weather is warmer (we stayed new years eve). On top of it all, I forgot my ring there and Julia went out of her way to send it back to me! Thanks for a great stay Julia!

Quaint little town and a perfect location in walking distance to all restaurants. Well equipped cottage with nice extras in the kitchen including oatmeal, hot cocoa, and fresh spices. Comfortable bed and cozy living room. We appreciated that we had one extra hour after check out. Thanks for a great stay.

Loved our stay at this adorable place in Arcata! Christine is very welcoming. This was our first time staying at an Airbnb and definitely spoiled us for all the trips to come. Thank you for your hospitality!!

The rental is a garden apartment at the back of this lovely house. It was an easy walk to town, clean, well-stocked and pretty. Christine and her husband live upstairs if you should need any assistance. It was a comfortable and convenient stop on our drive up the coast.

Christine and Gene's apartment was awesome! What a charming place...I felt like Little Red Riding Hood was going to knock on the (EMAIL HIDDEN)fortable bed, good sheets, and the most welcoming private patio you've ever seen. The treats that she left for our arrival we're perfect! Such a nice touch! If you're looking for a rental in Arcata, look no further!

Enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage. Our hosts were most accommodating. Very close to HSU campus.

Cute, clean, convenient spot with lots of nice touches. Apple trees and a great garden, books and games on the shelves, a homey friendly experience. As the parent of an HSU freshman, I am glad I found Chris and her house early in my career as a college dad. I look forward to many returns!

My wife and I were all smiles on our experience for our stay. Christine was very accommodating to our arrival time in Arcata. Walking up to the place we loved the outside decor of the home and private little patio. On entering to place we were greeted with yummy apples from the apple trees from their yard. The home was clean and very comfortable to hang out. We even cooked and hosted a small dinner party one night with some friends in town and everyone had a great time. The weekend weather was beautiful and it was an easy walk to town for us. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning soon!

If you go to Arcata and you are 1 - 3 people, this is the airBnB place to be. You can walk to the town square in 5 minutes where there is great shopping, eating and we happened upon the Saturday Farmer's market! I am looking to get in on some disc golf next chance I am up there as there is a course near to Humboldt State U. and a store in town that sells tons of discs and accessories. Arcata is a great home base for the coast, redwoods, and surrounding towns. Christine and her rental space are exactly what a renter hopes for in an airBnB situation. Hands-down!! Clear and consistent communication... all amenities necessary... helpful notes and tips... fresh pickings from the backyard garden... books-a-plenty... hot-baked cookies (OK that is above and beyond people!) This will be the place for me every time... Thanks Christine!

Hosts are incredibly gracious and have a wildly beautiful space. They had coffee, fresh strawberries, wine and brownies upon arrival. Space was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Location is perfect to experience all of the north coast. A short walk to the community forest or a quick jaunt to Moonstone Beach will have you home in time for drinks in the garden and a restful sleep on a magical bed. The Callahans are wonderful and you would do well to be their guests. Very Bright Blessings are found here.

This place is beautiful. The hot tub in the redwoods was pretty much heaven. Frankie was kind and attentive. She does live right next door so there isn't as much privacy as I like, but she and her family were very discreet. And they leave you treats! It was also very clean and cozy.

The photos in this listing really don't do it justice. The space is large, private, and very, very comfortable. Frankie has thought of everything. My wife, daughters and I literally felt pampered while staying in Frankie's apartment. It's so tastefully furnished, decorated and stocked. The kitchen has everything you need, the bathroom has everything you need, there was even a selection of DVDs to choose from (not to mention a nice bottle of red wine, thanks Frankie!). Frankie made us feel welcome and exceeded our expectations in every way.

Frankie's place is one of the nicest AirBnBs we have stayed in. I can't recommend it highly enough. The apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated, very clean, and has all the facilities you could want. Both the main bed and sofa bed are very comfortable and the space easily accommodated three of us. The hot tub was available for use during our stay and was wonderful after a long hike in the beautiful Redwoods parks which are a convenient distance. Frankie was very friendly and helpful, and communication was great both before and after our stay (we left an item behind and she offered to send it to us). We would definitely stay here again if ever in the area, and shall be recommending it to friends!

This cozy little house has everything individuals and couples would need for a comfortable stay in the beautiful redwoods. We comfortably fit 2 couples and 2 children under 2. The owners are extremely friendly, kind, and willing to provide anything you need! Although, chances are everything you need is already provided. Elizabeth road is beautiful and walk-able for those looking for a nice little walk without the demand of going deep into the forest. The location is simply amazing. I felt completely at peace with only the reverberating sounds of the birds, the swaying of the trees, a lovely wind chime, the quiet breath of my sleeping loves, and my lone guitar. I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone seeking a cheap and lovely vacation.

The dumbwaiter is a really neat feature if you have heavy luggage, and the morning views are spectacular. Winter was the perfect season for a stay here.

This place was exactly as described - we had a difficult time finding a reasonable place with two beds, but this fit the bill! The pullout couch was a dream (never thought I would say that about a sofa bed). Frankie thought of absolutely everything, from travel brochures to games, incidentals... right down to cream and sugar! The cottage is well equipped with to of the line appliances- even a dumb waiter. The location was quiet, but close to all the national and state parks we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend!!!

We loved our peaceful stay here. I highly recommend it. As the other reviews states, the hosts are very thoughtful and you'll have everything you need. We would definitely stay here again!

So thoughtful is Frankie's hospitality, so comfortable the accommodations, that my wife and I wished we were staying one or two extra days, just to enjoy the peaceful, woodsy location and all the games and puzzles with which Frankie packs the apartment. We were there for only 2 nights, but it was all so much easier and lower-key than a hotel. Frankie gave us clear directions on how to get there from the highway and how to gain entry with the lockbox. The apartment is above a garage, in its own standalone house. It's charming and has everything you could want, including a dumb waiter if you want to pull your luggage up. But it was Frankie's personal touches that really make the experience. Throughout the apartment there are folded cards providing providing tips, explanations, and info. She's thought of everything. And on our main day there - Humboldt graduation - she sent us an early note advising that there may be rain, and reminding us to take her provided umbrella. Frankie is the best kind of host - non-intrusive, professional, and wholeheartedly kind.

Amalita is very knowledgeable about the area. She is full of life and a great person?

She's an awesome host, the room and amenities were just what I needed for a few night stay.

nice room, gracious host

Beautiful little place that is walking distance to the Plaza, the co-op & several eateries. My 2 favorites are Los Bagles & Arcata Scoop for Ice Cream just a block down the street. The unit itself has all you would need to for a stay; just add groceries. My wife & I will be back for this in the future.

Wonderful stay, lovely place, great location!

The cottage is clean, comfortable, and centrally located. Within walking distance to downtown Arcata. I would recommend bringing slippers because the hardwood floors were a little cold on the our feet in the evenings. Mary and Elly were very efficient and positive with responding to emails. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to friends.

"The provided instructions were easy and clear. The place was clean. Very nice stay!!

Great location close to everything.

Lovely little apartment just blocks from the square. Clean and well appointed with everything you might need.

We had a totally awesome time at Bella's place. It was the same price as the 3 (not so great) hotels about 2 miles away, but so much better. Not only was it a quick walk to the plaza (about 8 minutes, I timed it) and the same to HSU, but the neighborhood was adorable and nice to walk around in. The apartment was beautifully decorated and cozy, and Bella even left us some coffee, tea, and more treats (beers!) in the fridge. We couldn't have been happier there.

In Arcata for a week on business, and was pleased I decided to stay at this little retreat. It is close to downtown, so walking to grocery and restaurants was a breeze - and Bella's suggestions were much appreciated. The place is clean, quiet and homey. A great home base for work or other adventures.

Bella was GREAT !!! From the moment I made the request to stay at her home to the time I checked out, Bella was very friendly and communicative. She makes you feel at home and is accessible whenever you need her. Classy Retreat was cozy and very well kept. The bed was so comfy, we almost didn't make it out to site see ! The Arcata town square, Trinidad, Mad River Brewery ...all in a short walking or driving distance made the trip very enjoyable. Thank you Bella !

Great place to stay while adventuring through Humboldt. Cozy, lots of natural light and nice furniture and kitchen. Bella was kind enough to meet me upon arrival and offer up some great tips on hikes, swimming and local food. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to the redwoods.

The "retreat" was indeed "classy," as promised, as well as spacious, comfortable, and charming. The bed was large and VERY sleepable; the shower was terrific; the kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. The apartment was a short walk from the center of Arcata, a lively and interesting small town. Everything about this rental was perfect. Bob & Carol

We had a wonderful time at Bella's retreat. The apartment was well appointed and very comfortable. Pictured/described perfectly. Fantastic kitchen and shower and comfortable bed. Bella gave just enough input/advice and I'm sure would give more if you need it. Fantastic 2 nights.

Very cute and clean place. Bella put some breakfast in the fridge before my arrival. Responded always very quickly to my texts. Highly recommend this place!

The apartment was perfect. It was clean, enough space, great location to walk to downtown, and Bella provided a few breakfast snacks that were appreciated. She also gave great suggestions for what to do around town and neighboring parks. I would definitely stay at her place again.

The host canceled this reservation 71 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

If you're looking for a clean, well priced, solitary get away, this is your spot. Host was very responsive when I couldn't find the place and everything was organized, clean and useful. Great stay.

Was not exactly sure what to expect from this place, just needed a quick place to stay on short notice. I will say it is a really cool spot, super cozy and comfortable for 1 to 2 people. The courtyard area is relaxing, once you step through the gate it feels like your own spot, but you can also walk just a few blocks to food and beers! Cool fountain. Excellent bed. The whole place was very clean & Julia was very accommodating and easy to deal with. Highly recommended.

Julias place is perfect for a couple who want to explore Arcata. Cute ,clean, and well equipped the unit has everything you might need. Wonderful to be able to have coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine at night with a small but functional kitchen. The plaza downtown is a short walk from the unit, and the marsh is close for birdwatching too! I will absolutely stay here when we come back to Arcata! Julia is a charming host and we had no problems checking in or out!

Quaint, easy, and convenient! Restored motel from the 1920's that has a very cozy feel.

Elly was responsive to any questions or concerns . The cottage is in a perfect location in Arcata. Nice views of the garden outside of the living room windows. Would definitely return here on my next trip.

A very elegant and tastefully decorated place.

We spent three nights at Elly's cottage while we visited with my nephew who attends Humboldt University. The cottage was ideally situated; five minutes away from his dorm/apartment and within walking distance from downtown Arcata. Elly's cottage had everything we needed, including a hair dryer, which I had forgotten to bring! We will definitely stay at the cottage when we next visit my nephew. Thanks Elly!

Thank you Elly and Mary for allowing my husband and I to stay at their lovely place. It was the perfect location with everything needed to a short stay. Would recommend this place to others.

We had a nice visit to Arcata! The place was in a great location to access downtown, the university and the freeway. It also had good parking and was a perfect size for two people. Very clean and modern.

I went to school at HSU so I'm familiar with the area. This is the perfect location, close to downtown, but not too close. The place was even nicer than it looks in the photos. I was very comfortable. Elly was great at getting back to me when I had questions. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay in Elly's cottage. It was the perfect amount of space for two people. The location is within walking distance of the campus and lots of great places to eat. The cottage is on a main road but we found it to be very quiet at night. The space is clean and very nicely decorated. We were very comfortable there for our two night stay. Best of all, Elly was easy to work with, very responsive, and fun to correspond with.

This sweet little place was perfect for my visiting grandparents. Close enough to coffee, a natural grocery, and downtown that they could easily walk to anything they could want. Comfortable, with all the amenities.
