(Everything there is good. Everything.) Swipe Right Cider from the Humboldt Cider Company in Eureka! Moonstone Crossing wine tasting in Trinidad! Spying on Elks at the Lagoons! Axe throwing! ...and of course, morning coffee on the SkyDeck! Wait, What Am I Looking At? Yeah, it’s kind of hard to get your mind around it. Visitors intuitively stare a bit, then inevitably walk 360 degrees around the perimeter to take it in. You'll probably spy someone passing by to stop and stare up! The logic of the place invites curiosity. The layout is intimate and could seem small if not for the mindful intention of the diminished proportions. This is balanced by plentiful and tall windows that make the outside (and the changing light throughout the day) feel like part of the rooms. The natural materials invite every surface to be touched and enjoyed. The rooflines can challenge the eye, and their natural movement inspires contemplation and makes the small footprint feel spacious. The playful chimneys give the home a sense of not taking itself too seriously (it doesn't). The vertical orientation, strange outdoor staircase, and prominent rooftop deck balance the comfort of the interiors by stretching residents a bit out of their comfort zones, displacing both eye body with new visual and spatial experiences. The house looks delightfully unique from itself from every angle and almost like it shouldn't be allowed. Ok, that’s poetic and all, but tell me about this place! There are three separate units in the house, each with its own external entrance: the first floor apartment, the second floor apartment, and the studio bedroom in the tower. We rent out all three units and as owners, frequently visit whichever one is open to stay in ourselves. Don't worry, we'll give you your privacy! Bet sure to climb to the Skydeck in the morning and take a photo of your shadow standing on top of the house as projected below! Easily accessible from highway 101. Neighborhood access is primarily by car and there is little foot traffic. There are Zipcars available in the area (not walkable from the house), as well as Lyft and Uber services. There is a fast electrical vehicle (EV) charger in downtown Arcata near the central plaza. If you needed to walk to the airport, you could!

I booked 3 nights at the Skydeck ZigZag Suite 1st Floor for a fun weekend. Communication with the host was wonderful, they were so very informative and helpful. The location is in a safe quiet neighborhood very close to the beach and majestic Trinidad. The suite was perfect for 2 and the design is so unique. I will definitely book this suite for my return trip to Humboldt.
