Stayed here for Humboldt family weekend and it was very walkable to school and to Arcata. Great, quiet neighborhood and the place had a secluded backyard. Everything you need was there in the galley kitchen, and it was a comfortable stay. Loved the local cat!

This place proves that good things come in small packages! This was a super comfortable place to stay while visiting my daughter. It was great to be able to bring my dog, but I will say the lay out is more suited to smaller breeds. Comfortable cleans and cozy.

Overnight stay

We stopped over for a single night but everything was better than expected. Great price for the comfort and cleanliness. The bed and entire facility was extremely well furnished and very comfortable. We had a great nights sleep which is exactly what we needed. One of the cleanest and well kept facilities I’ve stayed at for the price.

Cute place!

I did a quick overnighter to pick up my son from Cal Poly and Sadhana's place was perfect for my needs. The unit is private and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchenette was stocked with coffee and lots of tea, everything was clean and I won't hesitate to book this unit again for my next trip up there. Close to the campus, downtown and the community forest. Communication was fast and easy. Great stay.

This rental is perfect for one person or a couple! Very thoughtfully appointed with amenities and very private. The neighborhood is beautiful and surrounded by little parks and trails, and is very close to Murphy’s grocery store and Cal Poly Humboldt.

Very pleasant and quiet neighborhood. Rental very clean and very reasonably priced. Only thing to fault is need to be careful not to overload electrical circuit. Could not get IPad to charge, but able to charge it at my daughter’s campus apartment. However, the WiFi worked well and I throughly enjoyed my stay.

There is a binder with thoughtful suggestions of where to eat and what to do in the area as well as a bicycle to use around this bicycle-friendly town.

Cute, Private and Clean

My stay at this "tiny" house was very enjoyable. It is perfect for one person. The private entrance and fence made me feel safe and secure. The added space of the entry room and the outdoor courtyard gave me space to stretch out. The Wifi was fast enough for me to do some remote design work. Very nice touches such as tea, coffee, creamer and honey. I will stay here again when visiting Arcada.

Sweet little studio

This darling tiny guest house was impossibly well stocked and supplied, spotless and sweet. And unusual for a property of this size, there was a bathtub! A long soak was heaven after hiking for days. Communication with the owner was easy and very fast, and I felt very safe and private. There is a little garden spot to sit out with a book or a drink, and if you're lucky, you'll be visited outside by the cuddliest cat you'll ever meet. Thank you for a cosy, friendly stay!
