Fenced Yard, Pet Friendly, Cozy Cottage , Great Kitchen, Short Walk to Cal Poly

This comfortable two bedroom cottage is efficiently tucked away in the back corner of a large lot on a country cul-de-sac affording the convenience of a 10 minute walk to town, a 7 minute walk to Cal Poly Humboldt, a 3 minute drive to 101 and the quiet privacy of a rolling rural road. The refurbished original wood floors bring a classic yet new golden beauty to every room. The updated kitchen with cherry wood cabinets and prosumer Bosch and Viking appliances brings equal delight to preparing quick small meals for one or two as it does to being the central gathering point serving up a banquet of varied dishes when entertaining a moderate crowd. Open the sliding glass door and you effectively extend the kitchen to include a propane grill, an additional table and chairs and a long deck allowing up to 20 people to bask in the beautiful summer weather at the same time. Steps at the end of the deck lead to a fully enclosed yard for your exclusive use during your stay so your furry family members can bask in the beautiful summer sun with you so do not feel left out. The driveway next to the cottage fits two cars comfortably. Should you have extra guests, street parking is free, convenient, readily available, and restricted only by your imagination (and common sense, of course. We still live in a civilized society). A washer and dryer are available on the premises as well as a pool table and well-equipped exercise room.

Great if traveling with dogs

Quiet and clean. It is older and no frills. Definitely a bit tricky to locate as it is located behind another home. We really only slept and showered. Did not spend a ton of time. Quiet at night and appreciated being able to have our dogs. .

Dog friendly with great location near CPH

Everything we needed for a few days in Humboldt moving our son into school. The fenced yard was great for the dogs and the location was super convenient. Beds might use a topper but overall a decent spot if traveling with pups.
