Great respite in the woods
Second time staying, both times for work in the area. Lovely home, great decor, quiet and well equipped. We had to delay our departure due to threatening weather and easily did this through the manager and Vacasa. Great stay.

Gorgeous house and gardens. Perfect location to walk places. Very clean inside house. My only complaint is all the giant spiders in the garden and walkways were a little scary (alas, that’s the compromise of being submerged in a beautiful garden!)

Magical Magic Garden
We so enjoyed our long weekend in Arcata visiting grandkids. The place was great (and very clean)! Perfectly located for walks to the plaza (for the AHS Homecoming parade), shopping, the Community Forest, HSU campus. We really appreciated the beautiful garden, the brightness of the interior & the interesting decor inside and out.

"Magic Garden" is not an exaggeration
This home was clean and comfortable, with lots of beautiful and considerate touches (like the privacy screen in the primary bedroom closet.) The private garden was truly magical - a profusion of blooms and hummingbirds that made sitting outside for coffee feel like a mini vacation unto itself. The location is perfect - close but not too close to the Plaza and less than two blocks from Arcata Community Forest with its incredible, forested walking trails. On the "accuracy of the listing": We weren't informed until arriving/inquiring with the property manager (who got back to us promptly) that the hot tub was "no longer operational and taken off the listing." This was not the case in early September when we booked, using "has a hot tub" as part of our search criteria, and we would have appreciated a heads-up. That said, we still enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

What a great place
My family came to Arcata to help my daughter move into the university there. What a great place. We’ve stayed in hotels and other rentals before but we liked it here the best. Very relaxing, clean and up to date. The soaking tub was really nice! And the outdoor shower was fantastic. Loved the garden. Kitchen was great, had everything we needed, and the TV was smart so we could stream Hulu and max. A great stay - we will be back!

As Beautiful as the Photos
This place looks just as beautiful as the photos. The master bedroom is large, with high ceilings and large windows looking out on a gorgeous garden. It felt private and safe. It is extremely quiet. The hardwood floors and fixtures are all high quality. This place is a joy to stay in. I've stayed in plenty of vacation rentals with 5-star ratings that are NOT nice. This is why I was so glad to find that this rental is actually a nice place to be. Notes: The master bedroom doesn't have window coverings, but there are some folding screens provided, which we used, and it felt private enough for myself and my husband.

truly a Magical Garden
It was a bit hard to get to. Follow the directions to a T. It has a beautiful garden out back. You waken to the sunshine every morning and see the lovely roses. There are no curtains, but it is very private. There is a privacy screen that you can put up if desired, but it is a private residence.

The Magic Garden lives up to its name. We stayed there while exploring Redwoods and Arcata, and it was a quiet place of refuge at the end of long days of hiking. The garden and deck are beautiful. We had plenty of space for our family of 3.

Peaceful retreat!
This home is just beautiful! I hesitate to give it a review as I'd rather keep it a secret =) The space worked well for us and our daughter. It is 1 minute to the college and just minutes from the Arcata square. The lighting throughout the home was perfect for evening and wonderful skylights for day time. We LOVED the backyard garden and the soaking tub was a great way to end our days. The local property Manager, JoAnne could not have been more helpful! We visit our daughter at Cal Poly Humboldt several times a year and this is now our favorite place to stay by far. Until next time....

Wonderful magic garden
The property was wonderful, with a lot of privacy. We really appreciated the private garden with its well-maintained plants (so many roses) and hot tub (that was apparently recently repaired). The house itself was very nice, with a lot of natural light and a spacious feeling (high ceilings). The kitchen had all of the kitchenware things you would need to make your own meals with ease at home. The TV was nicely set up and had Netflix ready to go (good for the kids). The bedrooms were nice - 1 larger bedroom with a king and a small window bed (great for a child) and a second bedroom. Would work well either for a family with 1-2 kids, or two parties that want to split the home for a stay. The location was great, within a couple of blocks of an awesome redwood park (community forest). I went on multiple runs into the woods from there, and we stopped at the playground for our 3 year old. The house was also close to downtown, either a ~15ish min walk or short drive. As well, Arcata is close to the Redwood parks (national, state), so is an easy drive up 101 (this was our primary reason for coming to the area). Overall, the home was really great - I would highly recommend a stay.
