Gated Garden Sanctuary in Arcata with Private Hot Tubs and Sauna
Amenities
The Front Porch Hidden Oasis offers a sauna, a hot tub, and an open-air bath, each set in private garden nooks surrounded by ferns. Guests can rent bicycles to explore Arcata, use the picnic area and outdoor furniture in the garden, or access the property via express check-in/check-out with private check-in. The property includes an outdoor seating area, a designated smoking area, and provides invoice upon request for guests.
Rooms
Guest rooms offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, sofa beds, and parquet floors, with garden views available from select units. Each room has heating and a tea/coffee maker in all rooms, plus family rooms with air-conditioning for longer stays. The hotel provides key access, non-smoking rooms, and fire extinguishers for guest safety.
Location
The hotel is a 14-minute walk from Humboldt State University and 15 km from Arcata-Eureka Airport. Nearby attractions include the Arcata Plaza and Mad River Beach for coastal activities. The property sits behind a private gate in a residential neighborhood, offering secure parking and street parking options.
Relaxation
The property has a fenced area with multiple clawfoot tubs and a copper tub nestled in fern-lined alcoves for outdoor bathing. A sauna room, available for guest use, heats up to high temperatures, though it does not produce steam. Garden hot tubs and an open-air bath provide additional soaking options in the courtyard.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The hotel allows pets, and guests can bring their dogs for an additional fee during their stay. The property grounds include a garden and outdoor furniture where pets are welcome. Parking on site includes spaces for vehicles, and nearby trails in Arcata Community Forest are open for dog walking.

“This property strikes me as an especially good choice for travelers with dogs, given its proximity to Redwood trails and Moonstone Beach. I noted that each room comes equipped with a kitchen, and some even include a porch with relaxing waterfalls. For me, the outdoor hot tubs set amongst lush gardens are a high point.”
