Kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and utensils. Had a coffee maker but no cream or sugar available so still had to go out to coffee in the morning. Otherwise the place was in good shape.

So Quaint!

My daughter and I were in town for a few days looking into Humboldt for the Fall semester. The location is about a 13 minute, nice walk to the university. The cottage is fully equipped and very comfortable. Decorated nicely and very clean. Hope was so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Cozy cottage

Jane’s Creek Cottage was very comfortable for my husband and I. The patio area would have been perfect for afternoon wine. However, it was cool and damp while we were in Arcata so maybe we can enjoy the patio next time. The location was great for running errands in town.

Great Location - sweet Bungalow

We loved our stay at this house. The house was very clean, and very close to Cal Poly Humboldt where we were visiting our daughter at college for family week. We did have a few questions about the Tv and the owners responded extremely fast and helped us out. Highly recommend this cute little house.
