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!

The cottage is…read morebeautiful, wonderfully decorated (I wish my own place looked so nice) and in such a great location in Arcata. 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!

Arcata Stay is actually a collection of B&B-type lodgings owned by the same person, located at…read moredifferent places around Arcata. 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.

The outside space was really well-designed, which isn't surprising considering the owners have a landscaping business. It had a nice patio with outdoor furniture and of course the hot tub! The private hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was definitely a highlight for our vacation. We brought our two small dogs and it was great to be able to leave the door open and let them roam inside and outside. There wasn't a fenced yard, but it was secluded enough for us to have them off-leash. The house had everything we needed for cooking and there was a tv with cable. Definitely plan on going back...hopefully soon! I also want to note that we actually stayed at Redwood Haven, not Forest Haven, although both are have the same owners and seem similar.

Gold Bluffs Beach and Campground in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is a remote beach in northern…read moreHumboldt County. I personally love how secluded this beach is that stretches out for miles. This beach is great for walking along the shoreline and/or enjoying a picnic at. In order to get here you will have to drive on a somewhat twisty road for about 6 miles. It is right next to Fern Canyon so I love visiting both at the same time due to the close proximity to one another. There are unique hikes in Fern Canyon due to the fern-covered walls you can walk through. This is such a beautiful area. I have not used the campground and only visited the beach so I can't speak to the campground aspect of this area. It is very peaceful and serene and a place where you can often spot elk.

It requires a day use permit to enter because of the volume of visitors that come here. Mostly because popular Fern Canyon is next to it. Gold Bluffs has a campground with 26 sites. Permits are not required if you have camping reservations. To reach Gold Bluffs Beach, you have to drive on a 6 mile windy dirt road called Davison Rd that you can access near the Elk Meadow picnic area. Trailers are not allowed on Davison Road. Visitors will need to pay the day-use fee, or show their federal pass or CA state park passes at the Gold Bluffs Beach entrance station. You can also hike the 11-mile James Irvine loop trail from Prairie Creek Visitor Center. No permit is required if you are hiking. Gold Bluffs Beach was named after a gold discovery in the 1850's that attracted some interest by miners. If you are going to come here, make sure you check out nearby Fern Canyon. It is a must-see! The 1,200 mile California Coastal Trail runs through Gold Bluffs. After hiking Fern Canyon, I walked over to the coast of Gold Bluff to walk in the water and soak in the sun.

I would absolutely recommend staying here. Another fun highlight was finding a banana slug in my camp when I returned and it filled me with so much joy. 10/10 I will come stay here again, especially since the rates are so reasonable! I will say that the sites are somewhat small and there is some road noise (through no fault of the owners), but since I didn't spent much time in camp anyways, that was more than fine by me. They are transparent about that and it is just something to keep in mind rather than anything that detracts from the stay as long as you know what you're getting into and are okay with that.
