After a day of adventure, return to a charming cottage that blends the feel of a restored farmhouse with tasteful modern and vintage décor.

Was up in Arcata for the High school Championship games and was looking for a nice quiet place away from all the chaos! Welp, I found it with this cottage. Loved everything about this place. Janes cottage is roughly 1000 sf but it felt bigger than that. More than enough space. The best part, it’s tucked away surrounded by nature. The wall heater kicks butt! Shower was better than I anticipated as the water pressure was perfect. Super clean, relaxing, quiet spot. Will stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cute, clean, charming cottage with plenty of space, including a large kitchen. Well-stocked with what we needed (although no ice maker or cube trays). Good location, close to everything with easy access to US 101. A great home base for our time in the area!

Loved the property! Only complaint was stains on pillow cases which made us question whether they had been washed and no hot water for second shower. I had to take a cold shower this morning. Ugh! Also would be nice if lotion was available since we flew to Arcata and didn’t bring. Other than that, an amazing experience!! Thank you!

Cozy, Clean, Comfortable Cottage a PERFECT Location!

We wanted to stay somewhere central during our road trip to the Redwoods. Arcata was perfect as the Humboldt Redwood State Park (Avenue of the Giants) is to the south and the Redwood National Park (Trees of Mystery) is to the north. Jane's Cottage jumped out at us with its quaint and classic decor. What a fantastic location! Arriving right before dark, it was easy to find (excellent directions and access instructions were provided by the host) and we were delighted with this wonderfully appointed home. It is exactly as described with extra touches throughout to make it exceptional. As frequent travelers, we notice things like good toilet paper, nice tissues, high quality sheets, bedding and comfortable mattresses, lots of blankets, bath towels and extra pillows. The kitchen was well-stocked and the house simply had everything we needed to snuggle in after a long day. It was close to the 101 highway and to the college with a privacy we adored. It was a little cold so we didn't get to sit on the back porch or in the courtyard, but what nice amenities to offer guests. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to avoid hotel hassles in a home away from your own.

I would absolutely stay here again!

The house was more than enough for two travelers. Very comfortable and quiet - I couldn’t hear my friend when she was in her room or other parts of the house. Some reviews mention freeway noise, and you can hear it, but it’s more like white noise and didn’t bother us at all. Location is close to everything. With access to the 101 it was an easy trip both North and South - and we explored both.We used a laptop for Netflix and Prime. The cord to hook up to the TV was already there.Plenty of room in the well equipped kitchen. We found everything we needed. You will need to bring your own coffee and bag of ice. The laundry room was well stocked.In short, no hassle and we LOVED it!

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.
