Looking for a place to stay for our first redwood experience and couldn’t decide where about we were going to stay. Found this little warm charming home and it was awesome. Old school home feel with hard wood floors Cosy bedrooms, nice hot showers, washer and dryer with use with complementary soap nice kitchen. It made you feel at home away from home. Will definitely do it again.

Had a nice stay at Jane's Creek! Super cute and comfy house. It's walking distance to HSU and a couple of minutes drive to the square. Great location for adventures to Trinidad and surrounding area. My only complaint would be the linens and towels were not cleaned well, they all had a really strange smell......like the laundry was done but soap was not used. We'd stay there again for sure with hopes that the linens were better smelling :-)

We felt right at home here during our stay. The property was close to Highway 101 and nearby a good selection of restaurants and grocery stores in Arcata. (We're glad we didn't choose a Eureka stay with it's 20-something stop lights along 101.)

This home is great! cute 2BR with a nice living area to hang out. Perfectly located near Arcata/Eureka and restaurants and stores and easy drives to the big redwoods hikes.
4.0
Overall, this is a great property that's comfortable and convenient. But there were a couple of things that you should know.
First -- it's noisy. The traffic noise is really high as the house sits just off a major highway. Where I live is noisy, so it didn't bother me as much as it did my nephew who lives in a very quiet area.
Second, the cleaning was a little slipshod. There was significant dust along with dropped articles under the beds and bathroom cabinets. I wouldn't generally comment on this but the items of furniture sit high and the floor isn't carpeted so a few additional sweeps wouldn't take that much effort. Given there's a cleaning fee but the resident is expected to strip the beds, gather laundry, take out all trash & recycling -- clean floors are not that much to ask for.
This was my first time to the area and I loved it. If I came back, I would consider renting this property again.

We had a lovely stay at Jane's Creek Cottage. The place grows on you and is lovely and peaceful. I might recommend to have coffee and sugar stocked as most people these days live by their coffee and it would be nice especially since there are no close coffee shops nearby to pop out and back in first thing upon waking. Other than that, everything was lovely.

I mostly enjoyed staying here. However, some things to be aware of are the following:
1.) The house has a musty-moldy smell, especially upon entering the home in the kitchen. I’m not sure if it was that or the synthetic wood floor that gave me allergy-like symptoms. Luckily, we were out of the house doing things most of our stay.
2.) Freeway noise is very loud and present outside as well as lightly heard from the 1st bedroom. Sitting outside is not relaxing sound-wise if you are imagining a happy hour vibe. Patio furniture was filthy, but they had lots of towels so I just covered the chair.
3.) One roll of TP & no tissue worked till day 3 when it suddenly was clear there was no back-stock.
4.) Never got to watch TV because the two giant remotes didn’t correspond to the guest book notes on how to figure it out.
5.) Ancient shower head. A hand-held shower would make more sense for bathing and cleaning the shower. Light in shower glitches out; maybe check that.
6.) No GFCI outlets in kitchen. This is dangerous and not to code. Please update.
7.) There is someone living in part of the house with their own entrance. Not a problem but wish I had known that instead of being surprised by it.
The good things include: cozy beds, beautiful wild garden views from the adorable, vintage kitchen windows, comfortable family room, centrally located, overall clean looking home, big kitchen, and a nice neighbor who drops off TP if needed. Overall, this is a nice sized cottage that was comfortable in more ways than not. I’m actually low-maintenance, but appreciate knowing what to expect so thought I’d share.

Nice privacy, relatively well appointed. A couple broken lamps and some of the kitchenware was dirty or in disrepair, but other than that (really wasn’t that big a deal), such a cute, private, comfortable spot, I even booked an additional night!

We had a great day in Arcata. The home was very nice and clean. It was close to town and HSU. We are hoping to visit for longer next time and this home will definitely be in our radar. Thank you.

We arrived at night and for a brief moment, we were afraid we got swindled because we only saw bushes and trees and it was very dark. But the directions were very precise and took us to the cottage, perfectly secluded from the road. The cottage was the perfect size for the four of us, actually bigger than I expected and very comfortable. It was perfect. The only complaint I have is I wish there were ice trays...maybe there were and we didn't find them. Other than that, I just wish I had reason to stay longer because I felt I wasted such nice accomodation!s

We were amazed at just how convenient this property is located. Beautifully decorated and just such a nice tranquil property. I loved sitting on the porch and unwinding in privacy.

This was a perfect cottage for a small family and a quick getaway. I grew up in the area, and while at HSU, I lived literally around the corner, so this felt "just like home" to me. Everything was in great shape, clean, nicely decorated, and all the amenities were on hand to make your stay easy. The area was quiet and there were no issues. We met the property owner, who was very friendly and engaging.
The only recommendation I would make is to add a small cordless vacuum to the house to help with some clean up with crumbs or dirt tracked in, but that's just a minor detail.
I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone needing a simple and small cottage to stay at while visiting HumCo. Thank you!

We really enjoyed staying at Jane Creek Cottage. It’s on a quiet street, conveniently located within walking distance to the university.
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The owners and caretakers make sure their guests know all the essentials of the property (as well as the surroundings) with a binder of information.
The place is well stocked with kitchen needs. Also, our family of four (kids ages 13 & 15) found it roomy enough to spread out and get our much-needed alone time. Communication was timely and helpful, which made our travels that much less stressful.
Highly recommend!
