Rose Court Cottage is a charming little place in Arcata. My husband and I were quite pleased to be…read morecomfortably accommodated here when I was recently an invited speaker at Humboldt State. This delightful "cottage" is really a suite adjacent to the main house. It's whimsically decorated and has some nice touches, including a private entry and courtyard, plush linens, an electric fireplace for ambiance, an interesting selection of books, a wide variety of coffee and teas in the little kitchenette, which also included a reusable grocery bag for gathering provisions at the nice store just steps from this place. While well appointed, the small place is a bit overwhelmed by a lot of furniture, including a couple big pieces, leading to the space feeling a little cramped. But all in all, a comfortable stay for sure. Even the beautifully tiled little shower was surprisingly excellent. One down side: when we arrived and departed the first time during our stay, a vehicle was parked in the driveway, which is the only access to the cottage door. It was very challenging to get past the car, either having to practically cling to the car to avoid getting snagged by the rose bushes on either side, or having to tromp through the yard and then try to find our way through said rose bushes. This access issue was really the only problem we encountered during our stay.

This place is truly a thing of beauty, an adorable little refuge, and Christy is super available, helpful, and thoughtful. It's a cute neighborhood with Victorian houses; our dog loved the flowers, plants, and a little park nearby; a wonderful organic co-op is diagonally across the street; and RCC is within walking distance, just blocks from the quaint, sweet downtown shopping district. Happily, we unsuspectingly happened upon stunning protected marshlands on a morning walk, and we were close driving distance to prime redwood hiking and even sand dunes. Such a magical place and location, a total gem!

It's just up the street from Wildberries (a gourmet grocery store) and so easy to get to from any location in Arcata/Eureka/McKinleyville. The kitchen has everything you need, and it was so nice to be able to make my own breakfasts every morning. Elly always makes renting the place so easy and I'm delighted to be able to stay there instead of renting a nondescript hotel room. So happy that this lovely cottage exists!

The owner/operator (Ann W.) is one of the most kindest, sweetest, and special person I have come across in a long time. This place just feels like home.

I stayed here a few days and extended my stay because I loved this place and Arcata so much. Have fun and stay HERE!!!

I have stayed at two of them: the Plaza Courtyard Stay and Rose Court Cottage. Plaza Courtyard was an absolutely enormous space, with a full kitchen, bedroom, living room, dining table, and large handicapped-accessible bathroom. When I checked in, we had to use a combination we had been given ahead of time in order to get into the courtyard and the room. There were numbers to call in case of emergency, but otherwise, I was on my own--which was fine with me. The location was excellent, right off the main plaza. There was free and very good wifi. The bed was very comfortable, and everything I needed was available. Rose Court Cottage was a different experience. It is a very small cottage attached to the owner's home. It does have a beautiful rose courtyard, but that courtyard adjoins the windows to the owner's home, and when the weather is nice she opens her windows, so there really isn't any privacy. In addition, there is a door in the bathroom that leads directly into the owner's home, and you can't lock it from the guest side. The cottage was very cute and well-appointed, with lots of books and travel guides, as well as free and good wifi. The cottage is across the street from the local market, which was very convenient, and a short walk from the downtown plaza. However, we were really weirded out by the close proximity to the owner. When she let us in and showed us around, she even said, "I'll just let myself out here" and walked out of our bathroom. All in all, both of these were good stays, with very comfortable beds and lots of the comforts of home, and a decent value. However, if I go back, I will choose the Plaza Courtyard for more privacy.

I stayed in two while visiting before permanently relocating to the area. Forest View was an amazing experience. Very private with a deck and beautiful views of the redwoods in the distance. I loved the gas stove and, although I didn't use them, all of the cooking amenities. Rose Cottage, however, was completely different. While it was very convenient, located directly across from the fabulous Wildberries Market, there was very little privacy, as the other reviewer noted. I felt quite strange showering, while I could hear other people cooking on the other side of the bathroom door. The space was very small and musty. I would highly recommend staying at Forest View and I'm curious about Gateway and Sweet Home Stay, which I imagine are closer in quality to Forest View.

This time the water situation was terrible, and things were really run down. The water wouldn't fill the toilet, and all water in the rooms was brown. I say rooms, because the manager moved us out of one room that we suspect was actually being lived in by someone, and put us in what he called, "a better room." We couldn't shower, we couldn't make coffee in the provided coffee pot. The bed was pretty comfortable. There is a great, safe yard for dogs to wander around in, and that's one of the reasons we liked this place. In the past the place was mowed and well-taken-care-of, but this time the grass was taller than my ankles, and I wondered if they just couldn't afford the upkeep. I don't know what's happening at the Sea Cliff Motel, but I hope for their sake they can get it together and do the upgrades they need to do. Hard to do I imagine, with so few rooms and not charging much. I think they're in between a rock and a hard place. Three stars is generous... Here's hoping.
