Our 3rd Stay at this property

We came back to the Classy Craftsman for our 3rd time. This time unfortunately the home felt run down. There were a few flies in the home , pealing paint in the kitchen , the fireplace didn’t work and there was an over all musty odor. They have replaced the oven which was a lovely upgrade! The location is outstanding. It is a spacious home! Walking distance to downtown and a beautiful market! We loved it enough to come back 3 times just this time the home felt neglected. I feel bad saying these negative things yet I feel it’s important to share the facts as I see them. Nothing is perfect rite? It needs a deep cleaning top to bottom and I’m sure it will be back to 5 stars!

Do not recommend.

This home shouldn’t be occupied. There is terrible smell that overwhelms the entire home. All my belongings now reek and I’m still having trouble breathing after leaving. Asked for a refund due to my concern and it was not even considered by Vacasa. The hot tub is STILL surrounded by mold on the ceiling and on its cover. It also never got hot. The shower(s) floor(s) weren’t cleaned properly. Home needs dusting in some areas and the washer has an odor. Very disappointing. I expected much more based off the reviews! I would have to rate this a 0 out of 5 based off the extreme odor and the mold.

Cozy home away from home

This house is our fave when we come to Arcata. Fits a family of 4 well with gorgeous Craftsman details and perfect location. Hot tub and sauna are the cherry on top. Responsive property management.

Great Getaway!

The house is spacious and comfortable, close to the Redwood Community Park, beaches, HSU, downtown Arcata. We enjoyed the Hot Tub and Sauna after hiking and walks on the beach. The fireplace made it very warm and cozy for relaxing in the evenings. My grandsons appreciated the more than adequate WiFi! Definitely would rent again!

Beautiful house on a quiet block close to the center of town!

Like the title of this review says: it's a gorgeous place, especially for people who appreciate the Craftsman aesthetic. Clean, elegant (but homey!), centrally located. Would definitely book again.

We chose this property for the 2 bedroom/2 baths feature and its location, getting 3 bedrooms, sauna , hot tub, kitchen, washer/dryer, barbecue and spotless clean . A minor problem with hot tub temperature was responded to immediately and fixed within a few hours: service with a smile ! Recommended and considering it fir next year if the timing works .

Perfect House for a Humboldt Trip

I've never left a review for an a house, but we loved the house so much. Lived in Arcata for 5 five years in the early 2000's. Decided to go back with our young kids and this was perfect for us. If permitted (its not), you can fit probably 8+ people in the house for a week to give you a scope of size. Size is larger than anticipated, kitchen is much better than most homes in Arcata, yard was great, playroom was an added bonus that kept the kids entertained. Hot Tub / Sauna if thats your thing. The location is as good as you'll find in Arcata and the house is loaded with charm. You can walk to the restaurants within 5 minutes, 1 minute walk to a grocery store, a few minute walk to 2 movie theaters and your centralized as it relates to driving: 5 min drive to forests, 45 min south to Ave of the Giants, 1 hour east to the river, 45 minutes north to fern canyon, 20 minutes north to Trinidad with amazing beaches and hikes, etc.. When we go back up, we're going to try and prioritize this home again.

Great House

We had a great stay at the Classy Craftsman in Arcata. The house has a great combination of original (ovens, cabinets, counters) and updated (floors, fridge, dishwasher) throughout that work well together. We found it to have everything we needed (with the exception of an extra blanket or two for watching a movie on the couch in the evenings). We loved coming back to the fireplace after being out hiking all day. The hot tub and sauna were great too. The location was convenient to the coast and the Redwood state/national parks. It's in town so there are grocery stores, restaurants, etc. close by too.

Great location in downtown Arcata

I rented this house for the second time for a weekend in August 2022. It was clean and furnished as expected, I rented it previously in February of 2017. It’s a bit more run down as expected but had a nice new big tv in the master. The hot tub smelled but everything else was very clean. I would probably stay here again.

Comfortable, convenient and relaxing home

I chose this for its location (convenient to freeway and ease of walking downtown) and the wonderful Craftsman details! I was not disappointed with my choice! (The 60’s kitchen, with upgrade copper drawers, pink oven and matching dishes were a hit too!) The house is well appointed both in furniture and kitchen wares, plus laundry facilities and jacuzzi/sauna. I would definitely consider it again (checking my calendar!😉)

Great place in a lovely base for exploring the Redwoods!

The property was exactly as advertised! It was easy to find, easy to walk to downtown and the shops, restaurants and theaters. Great parking and although it is on a surprisingly busy street on one side the backyard, decks, and rooms all made it feel very private. VACASA was very easy to work with (it was our first time with them) and the property was everything it promised. It is also an easy walk to Humboldt State (which is beautiful by the way) and this is a great base of operations if you want to take day trips into the Redwoods for hiking (which are also beautiful!). I would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent Location to Attend Graduation

We had a great time and the property offered the perfect location for the family in town to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Cal Poly Humbolt. We walked to the grocery store multiple times, to the square to eat and hang out, and even to the graduation ceremony. The house was clean, updated in the right areas and met all our needs. We cooked dinner one night and it had all the basics which is great. Overall, we had a great time.
