Beautiful stay. We rented the "Resting Light Lodge" with our daughter. We all enjoyed the beautiful outdoor baths and the local cafes. Our lodging was clean and well supplied with everything we needed as well as some special extras (fresh eggs, fench press). A cozy and romantic spot. The saff is friendly and quick to respond to requests and questions. Only minor complaint would be the occasional noise from the street and pedestrian traffic, which was likely specific to our lodge location ( one of the walls is by the main street).
This place is a hidden gem! One of a kind, magical getaway! The private soaking tubs are incredible!! The rooms are so cute and had everything that was needed for an amazing stay! Absolutely in love with this place!
Basecamp room was such a fun room to stay in! We didn’t want to leave our room. There’s so many fun things to look at, it felt like an escape room! Sleeping in the tent was a really cool experience! We also throughly enjoyed the hot tubs they provide here and how you have walk through a fern jungle to get to them. We had a lovely, relaxing time, and we will be back again!
This is a bohemian, hidden sanctuary filled with lush gardens and outdoor spa amenities. There are so many originally crafted details from reclaimed wood and stone and there are little waterfalls everywhere. You would never guess, from the outside how special it is! Once you walk in the front gate, you’re immersed in a gentle tranquility. It’s almost like something out of a Tolkien novel. Service is friendly, welcoming and seamless. The rooms and suites are unique, cozy and comfortable with a touch of whimsy.
We loved our stay at The Front Porch. Someone with an artistic eye has decorated every niche, nook, and cranny with a thoughtful assemblage of antiques, mid-century, and modern furniture and fixtures. Then to top it off is a fully furnished kitchen complete with every imaginable implement, wine glasses, even a garlic press. We'll never forget the vine and fern covered outdoor soaking tub. It was a highlight of our trip
Had a really sweet stay at The Front Porch Inn (TFPI) this past weekend. It was my wife's 30th birthday, and we were returning to TFPI for the first time since our first roadtrip together quite early in our relationship. It was even better than we remembered: really lovely rooms with everything you'd need (without the glitz/glam), very colorful and charming (esp. the spa amenities in the courtyard). It's too bad that we live so far away, as we'd no question stay here more often – it's beautiful with great access to attractions like Redwoods National Park and Avenue of the Giants. Arcata is a sweet town too with nice shops and incredibly friendly service – that goes for TFPI too. Shannon was exceptionally sweet in helping me set up our reservation. Couldn't recommend more highly, we're looking forward to coming back!
Lovely, lovely stay in this oasis!! We stayed in The Hideout. Fab decor, very clever use of space to give a beautiful, quirky, Boho feel. Great little kitchen and such comfy bedding!! Well placed for the shops. Sadly, ours was only a very brief overnight stay but can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!
Stoped here while driving from SP to Portland. For $100 more than a motel 6 is absolutely worth it. It was great that they were let friendly.
The good:
The place is absolutely beautiful
The tubs and sauna are wonderful. Love that they’re open 24/7. I’m traveling through and felt so great to be able to go into a hot pool after my long drive
It’s definitely worth the money
The a little less good. Nothing major but things to note:
The room was lacking outlets by the bed
The walls are relatively thin so I could hear the very loud TV of my neighbors till 1am which kinda prevented me from going to sleep. It seems like every one else was being very peaceful so maybe I just got unlucky on the neighbors
I didn’t really check out the neighborhood so I can’t speak to what it he lack to be here for a longer period of time.
I really appreciated the opportunity to immerse myself in this 200 hour yoga teacher training. It provided an opportunity to disconnect from work and dive into the content. The yoga instruction and approach of this training was exactly what I hoped f
Perfect place for lunch! The best food. The best homemade tortillas! Wow! Yum! Burritos are huge! They are awesome if you have special orders (like no dairy). My order is always perfect!
The cutest ice cream shop I have ever been in! They have an incredible table that's on a swing. You can sit at it with up to four adults and enjoy your ice cream while swinging! They also have the sweet single carousel ride for youngsters. Local phot
Super beautiful park, literally a 5-10 minute walk from Cal-Poly Humboldt. Whoever maintains these trails is doing great, however it is a little stinky right now. Not sure why. Anyway, I love taking my dog here, there's also a super cute skate park/p
