About this property
Located in Northtown Arcata, The Yellow Doors "A"
Located in what locals call Northtown, our Arcata home is a perfectly situated home base. You will find several eateries, cafes and a natural food grocery store all within a two block walk. You can access the two bridges over to the Cal Poly Humboldt campus a few blocks away and just beyond campus is the Arcata Community Forest with towering redwoods. Downtown Arcata is just a seven minute walk down the hill where you will find more restaurants and unique shops on the plaza.
The home offers a full kitchen with all the cooking tools needed to cook up a nice meal. We provide local coffee, an organic tea selection, sugar, olive oil, salt & pepper, and a handful of spices.
There are two comfortable bedrooms with queen sized beds, a variety of pillows to choose from, crisp sheets and a down comforter with duvet cover. Each room has a luggage rack and one room has a closet and small TV.
The living room has a queen sized sleeper sofa (extra sheets and blankets provided), a large smart TV with a Bose Soundbar and Wi-Fi. A small desk allows for a designated workspace. There are two large frosted pocket doors for privacy. There are also several games tucked away in the desk shelf/drawer.
The bathroom has a tub/shower with glass doors, bright lighting and a blow dryer.
Northtown Arcata offers a variety of delicious eateries including Phoenix Cafe, Wildflower Cafe, Stars Hamburgers, Japhy's Soup & Noodles, Northtown Coffee, Redwood Yogurt, Hey Juan Burritos- all within a few short blocks.
Wildberries Marketplace, a natural food grocery store, is right down the street and is a great place to gather supplies for a night in.
If you venture down the hill from this neighborhood to the Arcata Plaza, you'll find even more dining options, the North Coast Co-op Market and lots of unique shops. On Saturdays, be sure to check out the Farmer's Market on the Plaza.
The 14th Street bridge over to Cal Poly Humboldt is down the street, making the walk to campus a quick and easy stroll.
This home is in an ideal neighborhood for being on foot, however it is also a great launching off point for exploring the nearby beaches and redwood forests. Please see our guestbook for more information on our favorite nearby activites and destinations not to miss.
This home has two units, with entrances on opposite sides of the house. Both units are vacation rentals and offer similar amenities.
