About this property

The Yellow Doors "B"

Located in what locals call Northtown, our Arcata home is a perfectly situated home base. You will find several eateries, cafes and a natural food grocery store all within a two block walk. You can access the two bridges over to the Cal Poly Humboldt campus a few blocks away and just beyond campus is the Arcata Community Forest with towering redwoods. Downtown Arcata is just a seven minute walk down the hill where you will find more restaurants and unique shops on the plaza.

The home offers a full kitchen with all the cooking tools needed to cook up a nice meal. We provide local coffee, an organic tea selection, sugar, olive oil, salt & pepper, and a handful of spices.

There are two comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds, a variety of pillows to choose from, crisp sheets and a down comforter with duvet cover. Each room has a luggage rack and closets with hangers.

The living room has a cozy corner couch, large smart TV with a Bose Soundbar and Wi-Fi. You will find an assortment of games, including a table cribbage board.

Off of the living room is a 3rd bedroom and/or office. An adjusting desk allows for a designated workspace. This room has a full size sleeper sofa with bedding and pillows tucked away in the closet.

The bathroom has a tub/shower with glass doors, bright lighting and a blow dryer.

Northtown Arcata offers a variety of delicious eateries including Phoenix Cafe, Wildflower Cafe, Stars Hamburgers, Japhy's Soup & Noodles, Northtown Coffee, Redwood Yogurt, Hey Juan Burritos- all within a few short blocks.

Wildberries Marketplace, a natural food grocery store, is right down the street and is a great place to gather supplies for a night in.

If you venture down the hill from this neighborhood to the Arcata Plaza, you'll find even more dining options, the North Coast Co-op Market and lots of unique shops. On Saturdays, be sure to check out the Farmer's Market on the Plaza.

The 14th Street bridge over to Cal Poly Humboldt is down the street, making the walk to campus a quick and easy stroll.

This home is in an ideal neighborhood for being on foot, however it is also a great launching off point for exploring the nearby beaches and redwood forests. Please see our guestbook for more information on our favorite nearby activites and destinations not to miss.

Arcata perfection

This rental is amazing! My partner and daughter and I stayed for the weekend to check out the Cal Poly campus, and we were within walking distance of the school, the community forest, Wildberries Market, and lots of awesome shops and cafes. The 3rd bedroom/office was perfect for practicing music and working remotely during our stay. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Adorable little house with central Arcata location

Very cute well appointed little house. Very clean and comfortable for me and my two teens. It’s in a central location in Arcata with easy walking to restaurants and the Plaza. You do hear some street noise but that’s to be expected with a downtown location. There is no laundry but it is a very short distance to the laundromat if needed. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook a meal. My only very minor compliant would be that the door in the bedroom had a window covering that didn’t feel like the neighbors could see through. But having the door there was nice to open and let fresh air in during the summer. The hosts were communicative and helpful although we had no problems during our stay. Overall a nice place and I would stay there again hands down!

The Yellow Doors B

Good/prompt communication with Aubrey. Check-in/out easy and uncomplicated. House was clean and well-stocked. Beds very comfortable. Like another reviewer mentioned, the window in one of the bedrooms had a fairly sheer curtain and no blinds, which was a bit unnerving privacy-wise. Our first night was disrupted by a neighbor/pedestrian/transient (?) screaming obscenities outside of the bedroom window for over an hour. Could have been an anomaly, but it was unsettling. And lastly, went to open the window by the front door to enjoy the cool air during dinner and found that it was unlocked. Would have liked to give 5 stars, but the safety/privacy things keep me from doing so.
