About this property

Jane's Creek Cottage ~ Affordable & Near Cal Poly Humboldt!

Jane’s Creek Cottage is an ideal choice for guests seeking a peaceful retreat while exploring the Redwoods or visiting Cal Poly Humboldt. Families visiting students will feel especially at home in this quiet, comfortable setting. Begin your mornings with coffee on the covered porch, then head out to the nearby redwoods, campus, or downtown—each just a short walk or drive away.

After a day of adventure, return to a charming cottage that blends the feel of a restored farmhouse with tasteful modern and vintage décor. Wide-plank faux wood floors enhance the cozy, country ambiance throughout the space. Stock up on local favorites at the Arcata Farmers’ Market or nearby gourmet and organic grocers, including Wildberries and the Co-Op, and prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen featuring a gas stove. Prefer to dine outdoors? Fire up the propane BBQ and enjoy an al fresco meal on the patio. While there is no dishwasher, ample dishware and glassware are provided for your convenience.

The cottage offers comfortable new queen beds with high-quality bedding for a restful night’s sleep. After hiking the nearby Arcata Community Forest, refresh in the spacious walk-in shower, then unwind on the sectional sofa and enjoy watching your favorite shows on the Smart TV. Complimentary Wi-Fi is included, and a washer and dryer are available for guest use in the detached laundry room next door.

Situated on a quiet private property shared with two other residences, the cottage is surrounded by nature, with deer frequently passing through. The owner works on site and offers guests complete privacy while remaining friendly and happy to share local insights. *To help us be good neighbors, please observe quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., park only in designated spaces, and respect the privacy of other residents. **Parking is limited to two vehicles, with space for one additional visitor car available by prior approval.

It's very clean, quite spacious, and in a convenient location. Beds are a little soft for me, the heater didn't quite warm the back bedroom, and road noise on weekdays can be pretty loud, if you try to sleep in at all. Overall great stay with very minor complaints.

Cute, clean, charming cottage with plenty of space, including a large kitchen. Well-stocked with what we needed (although no ice maker or cube trays). Good location, close to everything with easy access to US 101. A great home base for our time in the area!

Was up in Arcata for the High school Championship games and was looking for a nice quiet place away from all the chaos! Welp, I found it with this cottage. Loved everything about this place. Janes cottage is roughly 1000 sf but it felt bigger than that. More than enough space. The best part, it’s tucked away surrounded by nature. The wall heater kicks butt! Shower was better than I anticipated as the water pressure was perfect. Super clean, relaxing, quiet spot. Will stay here again in a heartbeat!
