This 1936 Craftsmen inspired, vintage bungalow has been completely restored by an artist so that you can unwind in style. It has just the right combination of color and comfort. The exterior has been painted a warm, sunny yellow creating a very warm welcome. The splash of red in the kitchen adds to its rustic charm. Guests will enjoy how cozy this home feels. Less than 1000 square feet of creatively utilized space offering everything you need for a fabulous getaway. The family/dining room is open to the kitchen with breakfast bar. Enjoy hanging out watching a movie on the flat-screen T.V. Play a game or dine at the cafe- style table. Three well-appointed bedrooms offer sleeping for up to 6 guests with a King, Queen and 2 twin beds. The tile work in the bathroom and one-of-a-kind light fixtures are small works of art. The bathroom has a stall shower.
Take a 12 minute stroll or use the bikes and visit the Plaza in downtown Arcata or enjoy our famous Farmer's Market for fresh, local organic offerings, food and music. This home is a five minute drive from Cal Poly Humboldt! Enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or stop and eat at any of the great restaurants on The Plaza. Sit outside on the front porch and enjoy cocktails or start your day there with some locally roasted coffee. The Greenview Market located across the adjacent pasture is super convenient for last minute items. Indoor laundry makes your stay even easier. Will welcome 1 dog to stay too!

The property was well maintained and clean. I would recommend putting black out curtains on the side of the house that faces the grocery store, Wi-Fi/TV did not work well and there was no complimentary wine as described. Despite these things we enjoyed our stay and would recommend them. Plenty of linens and comfortable beds. Very cute bungalow.

Clean house, pictures match the size and style of the home. We had issues with wifi and the kitchen is poorly stocked for cooking at home. Mattresses could be upgraded, especially the 2 twin beds.

The property was clean and comfortable for our group (3 couples - family - attending wedding) although the third bedroom, with twin beds, is best suited for kids. The property met all of our needs for the long weekend. The location was very convenient although the empty lot next door detracted from the otherwise neighborhood feel of the area. (The lot is depicted in the pictures so we knew it when renting.) Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to others staying in Arcata.
