The property manager was absolutely outstanding. Communication was impeccable – responsive and individualized. The place was spotless and extremely comfortable. I am quite chemically sensitive and this place was a perfect fit for me. I did bring my own soaps and dish soap. Beautiful location and very convenient couldn’t be better.

This was an adorable well kept unit moments away from the Arcata Community forest. It had a small kitchenette, which was perfect for small meals, a grill outside for bigger ones and a very comfortable bed. I would highly recommend it, especially if you like to wake up and take a walk among the redwoods.

Cottage in the woods

This cottage was small, cozy, comfortable, and situated in a nice, wooded neighborhood just minutes from the Community Forest’s trailhead. The towels and bedding were of good quality, and the kitchenette had everything you’d need to cook a meal. We enjoyed our stay very much.
