Great cozy place, near a lot in Arcata. Full kitchen, relaxing living room, good bed! Was up hear for a conference, and was only blocks away, so very convenient. We also built in a few days for us, so got to see a lot in the area. Easy walk to Arcata Plaza (don't miss Jitter Bean coffee), and even closer was a great grocery store, and the Natural History Museum! We were lucky on the weather (just happened to get nice weather between 2 large storm systems), but if you pack the right clothing, you can enjoy this area in any weather.While we did not use the hot tub or sauna, we will most likely on a future stay when back in the area. Place was easy to book, and off-street parking was great (nice big driveway). If you are looking to stay in a comfortable Craftsman house (with an easy to use gas fireplace for those cool evenings), would highly recommend.

We had a great stay at this 3-bedroom Craftsman home. The house is much bigger than I thought it would be, with 3 big bedrooms, 2 baths, a full iving room and dining room, a little play area, a deck and a garden...as well as a hot tub and sauna! What more could you want? It's walking distance to so many things including the Arcata Plaza as well as campus. It is well stocked with everything one might need and 1 block from a great grocery store. I highly recommend this house and hope to be there many more times myself.

The house is a lovely home in a perfect location to walk to many businesses in Arcata. It’s a quiet neighborhood but with tons of foot traffic walking past. The kitchen is really nice and pretty clean. The hot tub was nice but it has an overwhelming amount of chlorine in it, to the point that I could even be in that room for any length of time. I’m not sure hot tubs need that much chlorine and it was disappointing. The yard is nice with a table and bbq and there’s a room with foosball. I think this would be a great house for a family with the 3 large bedrooms. The reason I can only give this home 4 stars is because the master bed was so uncomfortable and lumpy. I had to sleep at the foot end just to stay asleep. The other 2 beds were way too hard to sleep on at all. But I think the worst part was the couch in living room. It is so worn out that we could not comfortably sit on it without stacking bedroom pillows. I was disappointed to not be able to just sit and relax on the couch. For the price to stay here they definitely need to replace the couch and master bed. I think this house could also benefit greatly from some damp rid. The coast is wet and this house has a distinct musty smell.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable home in Arcata! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the impeccable cleanliness and thoughtful layout of the home. It offered just the right amount of shared and private spaces, making it perfect for our group to relax together or enjoy some quiet time.The beds and linens were truly 5-star quality—so comfortable that we all commented on how well we slept. Every detail felt intentionally chosen to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere.The location couldn’t have been better. Being just a short walk to downtown Arcata, we were able to enjoy shops, restaurants, and local attractions without ever needing to drive.The host was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and clearly takes pride in making this place a special retreat. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!Thank you for a great stay,The Blanchard family

What a lovely home and great location. Just a few blocks from the central square of downtown Arcata and a block awa from both gas station and grocery store. Joanna, the host, was easy to contact and quick to respond. Check-in was a breeze. Wish we could have stayed longer. If we had we would have enjoyed even more of the property, like the sauna and hot tub, both of which are mentioned in the listing. But one plus that wasn't listed is the foosball table. Couldn't have been better for our first VRBO experinence. Thanks, Joanna.

Cute Craftsman Home

This two night stay was in the middle of a norcal roadtrip we decided to take with our three kids - ages 11, 13, and 16. It was nice to finally be able to spread out in this house with multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multipe sitting areas. The beds and pillows were comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed, and the hot tub was already plenty hot and clean. Everything we wanted in a vrbo, we got.. the neighborhood was also perfectly located close to Cal Poly Humboldt. We walked around the campus easily directly from this house. It's also a short walk to the main square, and close to many restaurants, cafes, etc.. The host was very nice too.. I had made a mistake in dates, and when I messaged her last minute, so switched the dates so that I didn't lost money on one of the nights. She also gave good recommendations of things we should do while there (I had asked her).. and restaurants.. She also gifted a few local goodies - chocolate from the nearby Eureka chocolatier, and granola from Los Bagels, a nearby bagel/breakfast place. I really appreciated all of her help and those welcome gifts were just over the top nice.. Thank you!!

Our 3rd Stay at this property

We came back to the Classy Craftsman for our 3rd time. This time unfortunately the home felt run down. There were a few flies in the home , pealing paint in the kitchen , the fireplace didn’t work and there was an over all musty odor. They have replaced the oven which was a lovely upgrade! The location is outstanding. It is a spacious home! Walking distance to downtown and a beautiful market! We loved it enough to come back 3 times just this time the home felt neglected. I feel bad saying these negative things yet I feel it’s important to share the facts as I see them. Nothing is perfect rite? It needs a deep cleaning top to bottom and I’m sure it will be back to 5 stars!

Do not recommend.

This home shouldn’t be occupied. There is terrible smell that overwhelms the entire home. All my belongings now reek and I’m still having trouble breathing after leaving. Asked for a refund due to my concern and it was not even considered by Vacasa. The hot tub is STILL surrounded by mold on the ceiling and on its cover. It also never got hot. The shower(s) floor(s) weren’t cleaned properly. Home needs dusting in some areas and the washer has an odor. Very disappointing. I expected much more based off the reviews! I would have to rate this a 0 out of 5 based off the extreme odor and the mold.

Perfect House for a Humboldt Trip

I've never left a review for an a house, but we loved the house so much. Lived in Arcata for 5 five years in the early 2000's. Decided to go back with our young kids and this was perfect for us. If permitted (its not), you can fit probably 8+ people in the house for a week to give you a scope of size. Size is larger than anticipated, kitchen is much better than most homes in Arcata, yard was great, playroom was an added bonus that kept the kids entertained. Hot Tub / Sauna if thats your thing. The location is as good as you'll find in Arcata and the house is loaded with charm. You can walk to the restaurants within 5 minutes, 1 minute walk to a grocery store, a few minute walk to 2 movie theaters and your centralized as it relates to driving: 5 min drive to forests, 45 min south to Ave of the Giants, 1 hour east to the river, 45 minutes north to fern canyon, 20 minutes north to Trinidad with amazing beaches and hikes, etc.. When we go back up, we're going to try and prioritize this home again.

Comfortable, convenient and relaxing home

I chose this for its location (convenient to freeway and ease of walking downtown) and the wonderful Craftsman details! I was not disappointed with my choice! (The 60’s kitchen, with upgrade copper drawers, pink oven and matching dishes were a hit too!) The house is well appointed both in furniture and kitchen wares, plus laundry facilities and jacuzzi/sauna. I would definitely consider it again (checking my calendar!😉)

Great place in a lovely base for exploring the Redwoods!

The property was exactly as advertised! It was easy to find, easy to walk to downtown and the shops, restaurants and theaters. Great parking and although it is on a surprisingly busy street on one side the backyard, decks, and rooms all made it feel very private. VACASA was very easy to work with (it was our first time with them) and the property was everything it promised. It is also an easy walk to Humboldt State (which is beautiful by the way) and this is a great base of operations if you want to take day trips into the Redwoods for hiking (which are also beautiful!). I would definitely recommend this property.
