Arcata Forest Retreat: Peaceful Redwood Suite 5 min to Downtown Arcata w Firepit

Find your bliss in this lovely, *quiet* forest retreat! A mere 5 minute drive to the downtown plaza, this private, 400 sq ft suite has comfortable amenities, tasteful ambiance, and a very accommodating host to offer local recommendations. The suite is attached to a home, but securely sectioned off to have its own entrance with plenty of privacy. The bedroom has a very comfortable memory foam queen-sized bed with quality linens, a smart TV, lots of natural light and well-loved plants. It connects to a full bathroom with a shower and basic toiletries. The second bedroom has a very comfortable twin memory foam bed with a kitchenette (not full kitchen) and a dining area. Mini-fridge, microwave, counter-top oven/toaster, electric kettle, and a Keurig for making coffee are all included, along with dishes, glasses, basic food prep-ware, coffee and tea supplies. The wifi is strong for all your streaming and online needs. Arcata Forest Retreat also boasts its own private, small patio at the entrance with a soothing fountain, seating, and a propane fire pit. This suite does share some walls, so we require and honor "quiet hours" from 9pm-9am.

From this house you can walk 5 minutes to amazing hike/bike trails, drive 5 minutes to downtown Arcata/Cal Poly Humboldt, drive 10 minutes to Arcata Marsh and Humboldt Bay, or 15 minutes to a variety of pristine beaches. Humboldt is all about NATURE: Hike, bike, surf, raft, kayak, paddle board. Finish your active day with excellent restaurants/bars/entertainment downtown.

This property has outdoor security cameras (outward facing only) located at the top of the driveway and on the private back patio of this unit.

What an amazing place to stay! Everything is sparkling clean and beautiful. The bed was comfortable with quality bedding and pillows (slept great.) Everything was well organized and communicated. The little fire pit and searing outside was very sweet. And it’s just a short walk to great forest hiking! My host was helpful but I also felt Like I had plenty of privacy. I highly recommend!!

10/10 would stay again

My wife and I left Arcata Forest Retreat this morning after what may have been our easiest and most comfortable trip stay. Andrea has clearly put a LOT of thought and effort into curating a comfortable and clean space, with just about everything you'd need. The house rules are incredibly reasonable (and clearly outlined for you with no room for confusion) and the accommodations are abundant. We were greeted with a cozy and modern room filled with complimentary coffee, a great variety of tea, and a plate of delicious toffee cookies from a local bakery. Overall we had a lovely experience and highly recommend this host, Thank you Andrea! -Nichole &Luna

Perfect for father/son quick visit

I visited Arcata with my 18-year-old son to tour Cal Poly Humboldt and do some mountain biking. Andrea's apartment was absolutely perfect for this, and I only wish we could have stayed longer! The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but with easy access to town, campus, and the trail system. Andrea was a wonderful host and the apartment is perfectly appointed. I appreciated the Peet's coffee K-cups. I could not have asked for anything more. The almond toffee chocolate cookies were off the hook!

Adorable

I had the most wonderful stay at this lovely little space tucked away in the forest! The setting was absolutely serene—surrounded by towering trees, fresh air, and the soothing sounds of nature. It was the perfect place to unwind and recharge.The space itself was beautifully designed, with a cozy and welcoming feel. It was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The layout made great use of the space, and I especially loved the attention to small details that made it feel special—like the soft lighting, plush bedding, and little extras the host provided.One of the highlights was sitting outside, taking in the peaceful views and enjoying the tranquility of the forest. Whether it was morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, the outdoor area was a slice of paradise.The host was fantastic—so friendly and attentive, with excellent communication throughout my stay. They made sure everything was perfect, and their local recommendations were spot on.If you’re looking for a cozy, nature-filled retreat, this VRBO is a must. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
