Quaint/Quiet/forest setting

Accommodations nice, beautiful setting. Upon initial arrival the accommodations had a cigarette smoke smell at porch and foyer. Kitchen had grease film on/in microwave. Walls have a bit of dust on them. Could use a thorough cleaning.

This is a beautiful little guest house surrounded by Redwoods. It's quiet and feels like you're in the woods, but close enough to town for shopping, dining, and exploring. The property itself is well maintained and clean.

Almost incredible

The stay was wonderful, mostly everything we were hoping for. Wonderful views, and a full kitchen, sofa, and dining area. Some room for improvement though- the mattress is very hard, harder than any we'd slept on previously and caused serious consideration of using the couch as an alternative to sleeping through the night. Also, a previous customer or cleaner left a window open which we didn't catch until the second day, so cold air was entering and we had no idea that was happening.

Truly a Serene Redwood Retreat!

This little guest house was cozy and beautiful with all its windows looking out to Redwoods everywhere. You feel like you're deep in the woods, but actually you are only a few minutes away from the town square of Arcata and CalPoly Humboldt University. It is as it appears in the photos. Also, it was fun to see wildlife during our drive in the neighborhood. We saw deer, an elk, a skunk, and a little fox.

Gem in the Woods !

Modern amenities in a picture perfect setting. So conveniently located between the northern redwood parks and the avenue of the giants to the south. Plus, within blocks of the beautiful Arcata Community Forest. Perfect for those who prefer more of a hotel vs tent/camping experience.

Great Location

Nice quiet apartment in the woods. Convenient to the highway. Bed and bath were nice. Kitchen had little counter space. We made breakfast every day but dinner would have been a challenge. We didn't watch TV but the TV in the apartment was very small. Otherwise it was a very nice place and would stay here again.
