Come explore a land of ancient redwood forests, wild rivers and secluded beaches. We are centrally located between the two largest Old growth Redwood Forests in the world with Redwood National Park just 30 minutes to the north and Humboldt Redwoods State Park 40 minutes to the south. The Town. Arcata is hip! This cute and cozy oasis is within walking distance to Arcata's Plaza with local shops and amazing restaurants, great yoga studios, fantastic breweries and more. Humboldt State University and the Arcata Community Redwood Forest are just a three minute drive away. The Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary is less than a five minute walk down the street and the Ma'leil beach and Dunes are a fantastic adventure that's just down the road on Samoa Boulevard. Our close proximity to down town and HSU makes getting around easy. Also a lovely park just outside this suite so there is occasionally happy/active park noises during the daytime. Explore the town in style on one of our complimentary vintage community bicycles. Have a drink on the covered porch or relax by the pond. Snuggle up & Netflix. Whatever your reason for visiting Humboldt, stay with us and make yourself at home! Other Things To Note: Tax. Arcata requires a 12% short-term occupancy/bed tax (required from all hotels and vacation rentals in Humboldt County.), and AirBnB does not collect this tax so you will receive a special message from us with an alteration to your rate to include that tax. Pets. We are pet friendly! If you are bringing a pet please be sure to read our pet policy and notify us at the time of booking. Please note: Our $40 pet fee helps us cover the additional cost of cleaning and extra wear and tear these fur buddies naturally bring. Thank you for being a responsible pet friend!
