ROSE COTTAGE

THIS WAS A VERY CLEAN CUTE PLACE. PERFECT LOCATION. IT WAS MUCH SMALLER THAN I EXPECTED. SOMEONE WAS ALWAYS IN OUR PARKING SPACE. NEXT RENTAL I WOULD LIKE A HOUSE WITH A BEDROOM.

Sweet Cottage

The cottage is small best for two but can accommodate 4 with the pull out sofa. It is nicely decorated in a vintage style and all linens, pillows, coffee, soap, tea etc. were of good quality. Great location within walking distance to Arcata's plaza.

Sweet Suite

We found the cottage to be a charming, cozy space for two as a base for exploring Arcata and the redwoods. Loved the location and walkability to the plaza, dining, and the community park.

Lumberjack Getback Reunion Trip to Arcata

Traveled to Arcata for a college reunion. The Rose Court Cottage was the perfect home base for my husband and I! The cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy. We really enjoyed the front patio area with the fountain/fish pond and all the beautiful flowers. Christy has really done a great job at creating this little cottage oasis in Arcata. We had everything we needed in the cottage and enjoyed the walkable distances to all our Arcata favorites: HSU (now CPH-Cal Poly Humboldt), Los Bagels, Wildberries Market, the Co op, the Crabs baseball field, and all of the businesses around the Arcata Plaza. Christy was an excellent hostess. We will highly recommend the Rose Court Cottage to our friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Laird

I have had a love affair with Arcata since I moved here 50 years ago to attend Humboldt State University, renamed Cal Poly Humboldt. I graduated and could not leave this special place; our progressive kinda quirky little university town is like none other. Rose Court Cottage is adjacent to my downtown Tudor Revival residence, just 4 short blocks to Arcata Plaza.

Why they chose this property

The abundance of natural beauty just minutes away in any direction is phenomenal: the tallest most majestic redwood trees in the world, miles of unspoiled rugged coastline, sand dunes, lagoons, six beautiful rivers, ever changing Humboldt Bay, and Wildlife Refuges, to name a few. The redwood coast offers diverse recreational opportunities which attract visitors from around the world. Since opening in 2004, I have hosted a good number of those visitors here at Rose Court Cottage and guided them to the unique features of our area. I have developed friendships with guests who return again and again to visit their CPH students or family living in the area, attend our many festivals and events, conduct business, or come back to a getaway that they love. It is the perfect base from which to make day trips to the natural wonders of our region, and return at the end of the day to a cozy cottage with all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Arts, culture, music, theater, shopping, food and drink, being 'green' before it was groovy, a lively downtown Plaza, architecture, history, and a friendly embracing community make Arcata a destination not to be missed.
