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 a movie on the Smart TV with over 200 channels. Complimentary Wi-Fi is included, and a washer and dryer are available for guest use in the detached laundry room next door.

Situated on a quiet private property shared with two other residences, the cottage is surrounded by nature, with deer frequently passing through. The owner works on site and offers guests complete privacy while remaining friendly and happy to share local insights. *To help us be good neighbors, please observe quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., park only in designated spaces, and respect the privacy of other residents. **Parking is limited to two vehicles, with space for one additional visitor car available by prior approval.

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.

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.
