Vibrant neighborhood

Guests say this area is walkable with lots to explore, especially for dining out.
Our restored, historic cottage is at the center of our vibrant community. Just two blocks from the Plaza and in close walking distance (5 minutes or less) to the best farmers' market, grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, a creperie, an excellent independent movie theater, an art store, record and book stores, and within a 10-15 minute walk to Redwood Park and the Marsh & Wildlife Sanctuary. This bright, cozy cottage is truly in the heart of downtown Arcata. Come stay!

Neighborhood highlights

Our cottage is situated off the alley behind our house. It is separated from our property by a gate, and it has its own parking spot. We love our alley neighbors! It is a pretty quiet spot, aside from the occasional group chatting as they stroll home from the bar sometimes on weekends, and the garbage truck once a week in the early mornings.
