This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with forest and peek-a-boo bay views is ideal for a group retreat to nature. With 1 full kitchen, 2 kitchenettes, 4 dining areas, 2 living rooms, front/back gardens, 2 patios, groups can gather here for time together, but also enjoy time apart. Lounge by one of the 2 propane fire pits, 2 fountains, outdoor stove, and grill, as ravens circle through the towering redwoods all around you. Just be forewarned, you might never want to leave! This home is convertible. Keep all the doors open and you have 1 large home. Close a couple of doors and you have 3 separate apartments. Located in Sunnybrae Community Forest in Arcata, CA, this unique home is located at the base of the forest, such that it is surrounded by redwoods on all sides, but still gets plenty of sun. Wrapped in windows, wth peek-a-boo views through the trees of the bay, while away the hours on lavish furnishings gazing out at the magic that surrounds you. The driveway is steep (see photos of exterior of house), and it has stairs that do not have a handrail, so those with mobility issues might find this challenging.

I used to work in fine dining before I became a psychotherapist. While I'm glad for the career change, I really missed being in hospitality, so hosting allows me to indulge that part of myself. I am passionate about nature, hiking, scuba diving, international/domestic travel, food, wine, and cats. I am especially passionate about Northern Humboldt, and I really love sharing all of my favorites with guests to help them find hidden gems.

Located directly in between Humboldt National Park and Humboldt State Park, home of the tallest old growth redwoods on the planet, Arcata is an adorably friendly little town. It is the perfect launching point for every kind of adventure Northern California has to offer. From the house, walk 5 minutes to amazing hike/bike trails, drive 5 minutes to downtown Arcata or Cal Poly Humboldt, 10 minutes to Arcata Marsh and Humboldt Bay, or 15 minutes to a variety of pristine beaches. Visit Trinidad and further north to the most extensive lagoon system in the United States. Hike through trees up to 3000 years old in either of the major redwood parks 40 minutes south and north. Or head east into the mountains to the 6 rivers area for outrageous scenery and river sports. Humboldt is all about NATURE: Hike, bike, surf, raft, kayak, paddle board. Finish your active day with excellent restaurants, bars, and entertainment in downtown Arcata or Eureka.
