Excellent Stay!

What a great property! We've stayed at many STRs and own and operate a couple ourselves, and I'll tell you Mimi's Ranch House is a special place. We were in town for our daughters' graduation from Humboldt with family, and this place was an excellent home base. The house was so homey that we didn't want to leave when the stay was over. The host and owner were excellent at communicating and responding to our needs. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Arcata, and would absolutely recommend to a freind!!

Amazing spacious mid century wooden the great amenities

We loved our stay in this well maintained and tasteful one story home. Great amenities and such a large space to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked and we love the many towels and the lap blankets while visiting in the morning. one of our favorite things was picking out our cup for morning coffee. We loved the art, also. We do hope to come back at some time We were there for a wedding and had a lot of events.

Family business

We had to plan in a pinch so we were ready to take what we could. We ended up with one option, and it was this lovely house! It was a good size but still had a cozy feel. It had a very cool mid century vibe but still with all the modern necessities. We came on a very rainy weekend but the property was stunning. I would love to come when I could really wander the grounds.

Hidden mid-century modern house in a quiet setting

This is a hidden gem of a house. We stayed there for 5 nights as one of 3 couples. The master suite off the front hall provides seclusion from the kitchen and other bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. The classic, mid-mod living room is a treasure. The kitchen is one of the best equipped kitchens I've seen in rental houses, noteworthy because we like to cook. The shared bath for the other bedrooms is spacious, with both tub and shower and double sink; plus a half bath right off the kitchen. The back deck overlooks the stream and covered bridge with plenty of seating. There is no road noise and we slept with the windows open every night. A good market, Murphy's, is just a mile or two away and both Eureka and Arcata are close enough to not feel like it takes a trip to get there. All in all, I can't say enough about how good this house was for our stay.

Beautiful property on a creak.

This home has many rooms, a gorgeous view, an excellent creek, and a nice walk over a covered bridge into a cool and unique neighborhood. We enjoyed staying with our friends and dogs. The kids played in the creek and we took a nice family walk over the covered bridge into the rest of the neighborhood. The deck provided a nice play to hang out in the evening and stare up at the star filled sky. It was a blast!

Awesome place and location!

Our 2 families with children stayed at Mimi’s place this past weekend. The house was great, the kids loved playing by the creek and exploring the property. Location was convenient to get to everything but also quiet and peaceful. We’ll appointed property with enough space to spread out. It’s a little older but that just means it felt like coming home to grandma’s house, which I loved. So glad we stayed here instead of a hotel.

Amazing Property - Highly Recommended

This home satisfied our needs in every way to host a large family get-together. This beautiful home is large, well laid out, and everything is labeled to make it easier to navigate. The kitchen is appointed with every appliance, utensil, place setting, pot, or pan you will ever need. Communication with the property manager was quick and helpful. We can't wait to return!

The house was PERFECT for our family/friends gathering. It far exceeded our expectations!

Property and location are fantastic! Lots of extra touches that helped make our stay very special - all the cooking tools and gadgets you could ask for, a basket full of lap robes for cold mornings, and extremely comfortable beds/couches/chairs. We will be back!
