Very comfortable charming house in a great location. We appreciated Sam’s suggestions for things to do in the area. The only problem we had was the house was dusty and my kids allergies kicked up, but Sam said Vrbo hadn’t been letting him know about bookings so maybe they didn’t have time to dust! Overall, we had a wonderful experience, we would definitely stay here again. Go to Arcata Redwoods Community Park!!

Great location and comfortable home

We could walk to so many local shops and restaurants with ease. The house was a cute old bungalow with plenty of space for cooking, visiting, and playing games with the family. Look forward to another stay.

Our 2nd stay here did not disappoint

This gorgeous craftsman home is spacious, comfortable, sunny, and gorgeous. We hosted our student for dinner in the large kitchen, we walked to campus, the arcata farmer's market and more. I highly suggest staying at this home.

We rented for several days as a place from which to explore the North Coast region and found it nicely located near Cal Poly and a lot of really amazing restaurants. The house is a beautiful and clean craftsman with wonderful wood floors and molding in most of the rooms. If you like period details and modern tech, you'll appreciate the induction cook-top in the antique stove and the modern fridge made to look old. The house had what we needed and the hosts were thoughtful with suggestions of places to visit. We appreciated the little holiday tree in the front window and the lights turned on to welcome us.We also appreciated the books and games, nightlight, and cozy rooms.

This was such a restful stay, we loved being within walking distance to a fabulous health food grocery. Beds I think are full not queen. Couches super comfy for reading. Kitchen well equipped, I especially appreciated the ceramic plates. Not all windows open but we were able to prop several open during the day to air it out. Overall loved having so much space for an affordable price and getaway.

Getaway to Redwoods NP

Amazing location! Travelled with our two kids ages 15 and 12 and there was a room for each of them. Very walkable to downtown Arcata and several restaurants. About 30 minute drive from the south entrance to Redwoods NP. The home is spectacular with tons of early 20th century craftsman details throughout. Would absolutely stay here again without reservation.

Older property with lots of charm. Plenty of space and sunshine. Well equipped kitchen. Very comfy beds. Host is communicative and accommodating. Check in was simple and convenient. Grocery just a couple of blocks away. Easy access to 101 and only a short drive to Eureka and McKinleyville. Walkable to Arcata Plaza.

Great location

Was a great location and had a parking spot that was off the street which was key for the location. The bed was extremely comfortable and was super comfortable home in general. Had some mishap when trying to adjust the dates by adding a date but once I was able to reach the host it was smooth sailing.

Arcata college visit

Clean and lovely craftsman home. Convenient location for college visit. Third bedroom looks to have been converted from a possible laundry room. Ended up being too small to use. But otherwise a great location.

Great house, excellent location

Had a great time at Sam's house. It's located just a few blocks from the downtown plaza and easy access to campus. We could walk to pretty much anything we needed. Nice market a few blocks away, new ramen shop a block away, plaza is 7 blocks away. House is a really nice older house. I have a soft spot for old houses, and like their quirkiness. House is laid out very logically. There's a nice office in the back and we used the smaller third bedroom as a quiet reading/hanging out room. Sam was very communicative and easy to reach. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip if it's available.

Pride of Ownership

We stayed here for a family wedding and was ideally located near the main Plaza as well as a local market, coffee shops, and a couple local restaurants. My father has a little trouble walking but commented that he liked the hand rails down the hallway to the bathrooms and in general was easy for him to get around. The place also had lots of charm and was very clean. There is definitely pride of ownership there. Two nit-pik items to be aware of are: 1. it is on a loudish corner with some traffic and the occasional college students walking by in the evenings. If you are sensitive to that, it could be an issue. 2. one of the two bathrooms is functional and nice, but very small. Over all, it was a great place and would stay there again without hesitation.

Very cool old house, comfortable and in a great location for walking around town. Street noise was the only drawback (other than VRBO not communicating with the homeowners that we reserved the house)
