Fresh, clean and comfy

Shared this home with another couple during our Redwood adventures. Beds were comfy, kitchen and baths were clean and well stocked. Made for a great place to relax and visit after our daily treks. Be sure to check out the Community Redwood Park, a quick block away - serene and beautiful!

Sunny Backyard

The backyard and large deck with balls, hula hoops, and other games were a highlight of our stay. The house is conveniently located and nicely furnished. The beds and bedding were comfortable. Quality pillows are always appreciated!

Great house in a great location!

The house was clean and exactly as described. Easy access to the town of Arcata as well as parks to the north and south. Comfortable and easy. We would happily stay here again. Just be careful of the step down into the living room!

Very comfortable and convenient

Hill Street Retreat was perfect for our three-generation family of six: very clean, comfortable, and with all the amenities we could have asked for. It was a delightful home base for exploring all the wonderful adventures in Humboldt County.

Lovely home

It really feels like a home when staying here. I will always book this house because it fits our family, is comfortable, has all the things you need to stay for any length of time. The back deck is fantastic when the weather cooperates. And the neighbors cats are super friendly. Vacasa is super responsive if you need anything or have questions. Love this place!!

Amazing Accommodation!!

This was the best experience we ever had with a VRBO rental. The house was stocked and supplied with everything you could possibly imagine. All the comforts of home were found during our stay. The kitchen had everything available to prepare all meals and even unexpected items like an electric kettle that we used daily to brew tea. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean. Located conveniently on our daily drive to and from the hospital in Eureka. All communication was handled timely and effectively. So thankful we found the Hill Street house!!!

Comfortable home, great location

Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Arcata Plaza, this home is quiet, clean and comfortable. Spacious enough for a couple or larger family. My husband and I both worked remotely and the network was stable and fast. The backyard was lovely, with many flowers and fruits trees. There was a new grill, outdoor dining table and comfortable seating. There is also a new washer and dryer, which made it easy to do laundry. We look forward to staying here again!

Nice Place to Land

This was a great place to land after a very long day of driving from Bend OR. We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood and found places very close to this location. The only thing I was not pleased with was the down town center area, so I stayed away from there.
