About this property

Potter's Bungalow - Near Downtown Plaza, 3 bed

  • A 20% courtesy discount has been applied to the rent until May 1st, 2026 due to the new multi unit construction project underway at the property next door. Work hours 8 am - 6 pm, Monday - Saturday.

    This 1936 Craftsmen inspired, vintage bungalow has been completely restored by an artist so that you can unwind in style. It has just the right combination of color and comfort. The exterior has been painted a warm, sunny yellow creating a very warm welcome. The splash of red in the kitchen adds to its rustic charm. Guests will enjoy how cozy this home feels. Less than 1000 square feet of creatively utilized space offering everything you need for a fabulous getaway. The family/dining room is open to the kitchen with breakfast bar. Enjoy hanging out watching a movie on the Smart T.V. with Cable, Play a game or dine at the cafe- style table. Three well-appointed bedrooms offer sleeping for up to 6 guests with a King, Queen and 2 twin beds. The tile work in the bathroom and one-of-a-kind light fixtures are small works of art. The bathroom has a stall shower.

    Take a 12 minute stroll or use the bikes and visit the Plaza in downtown Arcata or enjoy our famous Farmer's Market for fresh, local organic offerings, food and music. This home is a five minute drive from Cal Poly Humboldt! Enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or stop and eat at any of the great restaurants on The Plaza. Sit outside on the front porch and enjoy cocktails or start your day there with a warm cup of coffee. The Greenview Market located across the adjacent pasture is super convenient for last minute items. Indoor laundry makes your stay even easier. Will welcome 1 dog to stay too!

Cute cottage with nice comfy spaces. Would have been excellent if the yard was fully enclosed, but the pup biscuits and towels to wipe feet were great. Also the shower was nice hot water and good pressure. Well appointed kitchen, we made a nice spaghetti dinner. Good location to check out the area.

Nice quiet stay

The house is a cute, little place that was just about right for my family. We stayed here before 2 years ago and it was just as good the second time. The house itself is pet friendly, but as you can see in the photos the yard isn't fully fenced. Not a problem for us, but if you have a runner be aware. The house is walkable to the plaza and many restaurants.

Charming, comfortable house and property! We were worried there might be constuction noise from next door but we didnt hear anything the entire stay. Nice quiet neighrborhood and market just down the street was super convenient. It was a little tight with 4 adults and one bathroom but we managed. Large beds were comfortable but the two twins were a bit "springy" All.in all a great stay!

Walkable to the Arcata Plaza. The house is small, but we were able to comfortably eat and play board games. The twin beds really need new matresses. Other beds were comfortable.

Cute place and great for a two night stay. Nice walk into town and easy to park. House was fine, nothing special and no extras. Had what we needed and big enough for the two of us, would be perfect for a family too. Easy instructions and no problem getting in. Was a bit humid overnight in there, so not sure what it would be like in summer, as we went in September. Super communicative and friendly host which was great, although tone of the written 'rules' was not really welcoming.
