Jane's Creek Cottage ~ Affordable & Near Cal Poly Humboldt!
Jane’s Creek Cottage is an ideal choice for guests seeking a peaceful retreat while exploring the Redwoods or visiting Cal Poly Humboldt. Families visiting students will feel especially at home in this quiet, comfortable setting. Begin your mornings with coffee on the covered porch, then head out to the nearby redwoods, campus, or downtown—each just a short walk or drive away.
After a day of adventure, return to a charming cottage that blends the feel of a restored farmhouse with tasteful modern and vintage décor. Wide-plank faux wood floors enhance the cozy, country ambiance throughout the space. Stock up on local favorites at the Arcata Farmers’ Market or nearby gourmet and organic grocers, including Wildberries and the Co-Op, and prepare meals in the fully stocked kitchen featuring a gas stove. Prefer to dine outdoors? Fire up the propane BBQ and enjoy an al fresco meal on the patio. While there is no dishwasher, ample dishware and glassware are provided for your convenience.
The cottage offers comfortable new queen beds with high-quality bedding for a restful night’s sleep. After hiking the nearby Arcata Community Forest, refresh in the spacious walk-in shower, then unwind on the sectional sofa and enjoy watching your favorite shows on the Smart TV. Complimentary Wi-Fi is included, and a washer and dryer are available for guest use in the detached laundry room next door.

The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking and the living room furniture was very comfortable. Great little private spot tucked away from the main road. We will be back!
Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area. Close to downtown, the coast and the redwoods. Large kitchen for eating in but also close to many great restaurants if you want to eat out. Beds are comfortable as well!
Quiet, secluded, great little cottage. Nice kitchen and for extended stays... Laundry. Very comfortable and surprisingly spacious.

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.
Cute little house with was perfect for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend, exploring the redwoods, taking advantage of your local beaches, and spending time in Arcata. The house was comfortable and homey.

We had a great stay at Jane's creek cottage. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. It had everything you need to feel at home.
I stayed here with my husband and mother-in-law for my son’s graduation. We were all very impressed! It was well organized and taken care of. The beds were super comfortable. We met the owner and he was very friendly! I would love to stay here again!
This property was perfect for our family of 4. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for us all. Easy location to get to and we very much enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay at Janes Cottage for our "Tour the Redwoods" vacation. Location was very convenient to Eureka, Arcata, and Trinidad, as well as the Redwood parks and beaches.
The property was very clean and had all the amenities we needed.
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.
The property was very nice & in a great location. It was furnished well, the kitchen was stocked well for cooking & serving. And it was very clean! We had a great time!

We enjoyed our stay at Jane’s Creek Cottage very much. It is beautifully decorated, very quiet at night and a short drive to the co op and Wildberries for groceries as well as to the Arcata Community Forest for a hike among the Redwoods. Trinidad is only a short drive away and a must see attraction. We would like to return for another vacation.
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.
