The lemon haven in Arcata

This charming, historic home overlooks Arcata. It is a pleasant walk to downtown, where you can enjoy the numerous restaurants, farmers market and festivals on the Plaza. You can spend the day exploring, perusing the shelves of books at the Tin Can Mailman, checking out Sci-Fi night at the Arcata Theater Lounge or going to explore the majestic redwoods and wild coastline. It is just a short 2 block walk to Humboldt State University, where you can watch great shows at the Van Duzer Theater. The Arcata Community forest is only 3 blocks away with miles of hiking trails through the redwoods.

Our home has a spacious rolling lawn for bocce ball, or relaxing outside with a cold drink under the tree in the back yard. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen for cooking delicious meals for two, or the whole family. You will find fun dishes for all occasions in addition to a rice cooker, crock pot, blender and so much more!

There is a luxurious king size bed in one bedroom. The second bedroom has two extra long twin beds for separate sleeping, or if you would prefer to have them together, they make a second king bed. The yard is full fenced for your four legged friends, so come on out and find all the comforts of home and much more in our charming lemon haven!

A great place to rest

We were in town visiting our college kids for the weekend. The Lemon Haven is in a fantastic neighborhood, two blocks from the Community Forest! We brought our small dog, who was able to freely roam the fenced-in yard while we enjoyed the amazing backyard patio. Lots of kitchenware and an overall well-equipped house. We are looking forward to staying here again.

Lovely home and dog friendly garden/yard

Everything you need in a cute historic home. It has a great feel. Easy entry for loading from the parking at the curb. No steps in front are great for our older mom. (She couldn't get into the shower due to high sides/slip hazard but still loved the house). Super dog friendly with lovely secure fenced large yard and dog sheets for furniture. I always bring my own and this added touch made it even better. Fantasic well-provided kitchen with large table. Comfy beds. Amazing location for heading to dinner in the Plaza and a 45min drive to Avenue of the Giants/Redwoods. This is a real find!

Perfect Place

We really enjoyed our stay in this quaint, clean, and well thought out property! We had everything we needed and slept great. The fully fenced backyard was huge and perfect for those traveling with a pet. We loved the proximity to the college, the community forest, and even downtown. Everything was a short walk away, although an uphill walk back from the plaza. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will return!

We had a great time. Only thing I would advise is that if your taking you dogs, the transients that walk by the house attempt to mess with your dogs. Other than that no complaints. The house was great inside and out. It's super close to the redwoods and other great places. I would definitely recommend 👌

Wonderful and comfortable home in Arcata

We had a great visit and really liked this home. It was spacious, super comfortable, and had lots of extra touches that made our visit even more enjoyable. The home is also in a great location; walking distance to the university and town square. When we had a question about our rental, we were provided with amazing customer service. This is a great home to stay in if you are in the Arcata area.

Calpoly Humboldt Trip

Traveled to Arcata with grandaughter to visit campus. The house was perfect, well furnished with comfortable beds. Only three blocks from campus and a short walk to forest with many trails to hike. Every appliance you might need was available in kitchen. There were even toys and treats for our dog. Big back yard with pergola and bbq (completely fenced). If granddaughter picks Humboldt for college, this will be our goto place for visits. Highly recommended!
