College Visit

We took our two upper classmen boys to Arcata to check out the area. The house was great for the 4 of us. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to campus, the redwoods, and the beach. We all utilized the hot tubs during our stay. If we’re back up this way, I would definitely book again.

Couldn't have asked for a better Location

My daughter and I came to stay while she checked out CalPoly for her college choice. This location was perfect. Easy access to everything. Never used the bikes but it was nice to have them as an option. We did take advantage of the hot tub and laundry. The house was very clean and had enough bedding and towels. Easy check in we will be coming back several times a year to visit her throughout college and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

Wonderful home in a very nice neighborhood

The "Downtown Drift" is an awesome place to stay! The house was very cozy and clean. Our family appreciated the ping pong table and jacuzzi in the backyard, and the close proximity to Arcata Plaza. I highly recommend this place!

Arcata by foot

This property is located within easy walking distance of the plaza. The Saturday farmer's market was an added bonus. Delicious dinners, yummy breakfasts and local pubs are within blocks of the property. The grounds are nicely landscaped and the yard was great, allowing us to play with the dog.
