Located right off Arcata Bay, this nice residential home was perfect for our quick trip north. Right by hiking trails and still in the Redwood forests it was a quiet nice destination.

Magnificent House and walking trails

Eight adults who work in the healthcare field had a wonderful stay. We were so grateful for the walking trails among the ancient giants and the home nestled by nature. The soulfulness of the weekend was welcomed by all. Highly recommend this home.

Lovely home next to a Beautiful Forest

Our family of five (1 high school, 2 college) plus a service dog and pet dog loved the house and its location. Right across the street is the Arcata Community Forest, with a gorgeous redwood trees and quiet trails. Every day we happily ran or hiked in the peaceful forest. The house was spacious with 2 kitchens, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 living rooms, a backyard for the dogs and a sun room for relaxing. The hosts anticipated our needs with games, pool table, street fighter arcade game, TVs, Alexa, yoga mat and roller, nearby attraction brochures, front combo door lock so no keys to remember, and all the kitchen basics. It's only 5-10 min to downtown Arcata with lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Within an hour drive or so is Fern Canyon, Trinidad State Park, Avenue of the Giants, the Sequoia Zoo and redwood canopy walk, plus other great places to visit. The host had friendly, clear and fast communications. We'd love to stay here again for our next visit!

Beautiful and relaxing place to stay

My family and I had a fun and relaxing stay at this wonderful property. It has a very cozy atmosphere, with the peaceful sun/sitting area on the upper floor and practically a whole apartment on the bottom floor. The location cannot be beat, with the trailhead to a beautiful, woodsy trail just across the street. Great place to walk the dog or go for a stroll, but long enough for a real hike depending on which branch of the trail you take. We also spent some time hiking at the splendid Redwood National Park, which is fairly close. In the evenings, we had a great time winding down playing pool and the Streetfighter arcade game downstairs. The home is clean and well-kept, and the host was very responsive, which we really appreciated.

Forest Visit

What a perfect place to stay to walk in the redwoods every day! Comfortable beds, great kitchen, relaxing front room and bonus pool table! We had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Best entry lock for the front door I’ve ever had at a rental, worked perfectly every time. Thanks again

Great family gathering place

The Pickle House was perfect for our family to stay while in Arcata for a wedding. It is across the street from the Redwood park for hiking, a short distance from Cal Poly Humboldt and downtown. There are stairs to enter the home, and it is two levels inside, but my 86 yr old parents were able to navigate with the railings. It has 4 bedrooms- king with en suite; 2 twins and Queen upstairs and full size with bath down stairs. It is not fancy, but it has character, is well appointed and updated nicely. We really appreciated the owners being so easy to contact and very helpful. Only wish we had more time to explore the area.

amazing

Arcada is a great little town, that we'll be visiting again. The town 'park' is a huge Redwood forest, and this home stands at the very entrance. We spent hours every days exploring the woods with our two dogs, happy to return to this spacious, well-appointed, comfortable home afterwards. The bed is incredibly comfortable after days hiking. The kitchen is well stocked. The fenced in back yard meant we could let the dogs out without worrying. Perfect.
