Can't recommend this place enough! It's located in a great neighborhood that felt safe and comfortable anytime of day/night. Lovely views of arcata from the yard and a short walk up the road to the community forest. We've stayed here multiple times and will continue to use Baxters for future visits.

The property was very comfortable and well appointed. Having said that, if we needed anything, a call to Angelica would promptly take care of our request. It does not get better than that.The property's location at the top of a hill, with a fabulous view of the bay from a beautiful patio in a garden with a small fish pond was calming and outstanding. What a pleasant surprise that was.

A clean cottage, unusually well appointed with household conveniences. The location was ideal to see sights within Humboldt county. The setting was a plus, with huge views of the city and bay yet it was in a quiet corner of town.
