Potter's Bungalow - Near Downtown Plaza, 3 bed

A 20% courtesy discount has been applied to the rent until May 1st, 2026 due to the new multi unit construction project underway at the property next door. Work hours 8 am - 6 pm, Monday - Saturday.

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.

Charming, comfortable house and property! We were worried there might be constuction noise from next door but we didnt hear anything the entire stay. Nice quiet neighrborhood and market just down the street was super convenient. It was a little tight with 4 adults and one bathroom but we managed. Large beds were comfortable but the two twins were a bit "springy" All.in all a great stay!

The house is a cute, little place that was just about right for my family. We stayed here before 2 years ago and it was just as good the second time. The house itself is pet friendly, but as you can see in the photos the yard isn't fully fenced. Not a problem for us, but if you have a runner be aware. The house is walkable to the plaza and many restaurants.

Adorable Bungalow

Cute, clean and cozy! Wonderful amenities - everything you need is here! Outstanding communication from property management and loved the shower! Great location for a starting point to Trinidad, Klamath, Fern Canyon, and all the incredible Redwood hikes. Incredibly close to town center of Arcata and some awesome restaurants. Also, Northern California has some of the nicest locals we have encountered in our frequent travels. Book this place!

Walkable to the Arcata Plaza. The house is small, but we were able to comfortably eat and play board games. The twin beds really need new matresses. Other beds were comfortable.

Enjoyed Our Stay

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.

Enjoyed our stay in Arcata!

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.
