Lida's House, Walk to Everything

An absolute gem. A chef's kitchen with high end appliances throughout, tastefully updated to honor its 1930's charm. Situated on massive lot in the heart of town. Walkable to Cal Poly Humboldt, restaurants, and shopping, yet tucked away in its own serene surroundings. Extremely spacious layout, perfect for entertaining those in your group. A private driveway and multiple entrances to the house make it easily accessible and safe. Enjoy a stroll through the immaculately maintained yard.

Wonderful home a walk away from the square, shops and restaurants. Close to surrounding nature. The house is unique and very well appointed. The kitchen has most of what you need and is a beautiful space to cook in. Lovely and large property. We brought our doggo who was also very happy. We would stay there again.

Great house! Great location! Great stay!

The house is beautiful inside and out. Very well appointed with luxury bedding, a gorgeous kitchen, and comfortable living throughout! The location is incredible a couple of blocks from Arcata’s main square yet very quiet! Definitely will stay again when returning to Arcata if available.

Repeat stay just as great

This was our 2nd stay. It is a charming house with tasteful furnishings and decor. Hard to believe this is a rental. And a very walkable location. Amy was again a great host, with lots of information for activities.

Beautiful cozy home

Stayed for our annual family Humboldt trip and will definitely be back! Clean, cozy and beautiful. Very spacious, plenty of room for family dinners. Games, nice glasswear and thoughtful touches like a welcome bottle of wine. Quiet and private but so close to everything! Very responsive manager. House has a cool backstory too. Beautiful views. Can't wait to return.

Beautiful house in a great location

We were positively surprised by this house. Bigger than expected and truly in a central location that would allow walking everywhere (if it is not raining cats and dogs). Highly recommended!

Charming Arcata house

Wonderful house, with beautiful wood floors and cabinets, engaging artwork, large yard with large trees and hedge. Kitchen was great, with everything we needed. The host had provided us with suggested places to visit on our way into Arcata and in town itself. We plan to be back next year.

Perfect getaway!

This house is perfect if traveling with 4 people. Plenty of space. Beautiful kitchen and property. We traveled with two teenagers and it was comfortable for everyone. This home has very nice furnishings, flooring, etc. Location was phenomenal. Walking distance to downtown and Cal Poly. Host was extremely responsive. Listing is very accurate. Literally can’t think of anything negative to say. Will definitely stay again.

Best place ever

If you get the chance to stay here do it!! This place is so nice! Spacious, nice, close to all things to walk, friendly neighborhood. I can’t say enough positive things about this house and area. Even my mom liked it and she never likes anything lol. The yard is huge. It’s near the road but when inside you don’t hear anything.

Best place to stay for CPH freshman move-in!

Saying goodbye to our freshman and moving him into his dorm was rough (emotionally) but this most lovely house situated both so close to campus and to downtown Arcata was the best. We walked to the Saturday farmers market our first morning and then my husband and I walked to a wonderful dinner right off the plaza our last night there. The house is beautiful, definitely read the history behind it. Communication was great and we will absolutely be staying there again - already booked our next visit up!
