- "My husband, two daughters and I stayed at this gem of a property for college move-in weekend. Our daughter is a freshman and was nervous about being away from home for the first time and living independently. This rental provided us as a family the PERFECT opportunity for that transition. We could not have hoped for a better place to stay! Toni was incredibly fast to respond to all inquiries at all times, unbelievably kind and polite. Excellent communication aside, of all the rental properties we have stayed in over the years, nothing compares to this one. The level of personal touches is off the charts at this property. It was literally a home away from home. Everything we could have needed and then some was available for us to use and they were all quality items. The signa on the walls were inspirational and relaxing. The views were breathtaking and phenomenal. It is a very safe and extremely quiet property that is spacious and comfortable. We will be back to stay here again for sure. Thank you, Toni, for making this huge life transition so much easier on all of us by sharing your incredible property with us. We truly appreciate your kindness every step of the way!"

Wait, What Am I Looking At?

Yeah, it’s kind of hard to get your mind around it. Visitors intuitively stare a bit, then inevitably walk 360 degrees around the perimeter to take it in. You'll probably spy someone passing by to stop and stare up!

The logic of the place invites curiosity. The layout is intimate and could seem small if not for the mindful intention of the diminished proportions. This is balanced by plentiful and tall windows that make the outside (and the changing light throughout the day) feel like part of the rooms. The natural materials invite every surface to be touched and enjoyed. The rooflines can challenge the eye, and their natural movement inspires contemplation and makes the small footprint feel spacious. The playful chimneys give the home a sense of not taking itself too seriously (it doesn't). The vertical orientation, strange outdoor staircase, and prominent rooftop deck balance the comfort of the interiors by stretching residents a bit out of their comfort zones, displacing both eye body with new visual and spatial experiences. The house looks delightfully unique from itself from every angle and almost like it shouldn't be allowed.

Ok, that’s poetic and all, but tell me about this place!
There are three separate units in the house, each with its own external entrance: the first floor apartment, the second floor apartment, and the studio bedroom in the tower. We rent out all three units and as owners, frequently visit whichever one is open to stay in ourselves. Don't worry, we'll give you your privacy!

Bet sure to climb to the Skydeck in the morning and take a photo of your shadow standing on top of the house as projected below!

Easily accessible from highway 101.

Neighborhood access is primarily by car and there is little foot traffic.

There are Zipcars available in the area (not walkable from the house), as well as Lyft and Uber services.

There is a fast electrical vehicle (EV) charger in downtown Arcata near the central plaza.

If you needed to walk to the airport, you could!

Park in front of the house on the street in front of the front door (Driveway parking is for guests on the Upper Floors only). There is ample street parking all along this generously sized corner lot!

Extended stays are possible - please message regarding your per diem and desired dates!

No TV, but There is excellent internet for steaming with your devices!

Please supervise children and pets at all times around the staircases and SkyDeck.

Lower floors may hear guest footsteps and voices from upper floors.

Please note that if guests are afraid of heights, it may be best to stick to the ground floor accommodations!

- "I booked 3 nights at the Skydeck ZigZag Suite 1st Floor for a fun weekend. Communication with the host was wonderful, they were so very informative and helpful.

I will definitely book this suite for my return trip to Humboldt." - "Loved the house and sky deck, the house has a nice layout and easy parking, neighborhood is quiet and nice. Close to all our familiar spots to visits from restaurants, shops and beaches. Extra bonus a very friendly neighbor cat."

- "If you want a clean, comfy, cozy & quiet home away from home then this is your place! I relocated and had no time to find a place to live so I opted for this little gem to be my home for a month. It is stocked with all of the necessities to cook, and also has a cute little lighted patio with a grill. The host, Jessica, was awesome and if I had any concerns/questions she replied right away. Nestled in the trees, but a stones throw from town center, it was my slice of heaven. I highly recommend!!!"

- "As described with lots of towels etc" - "Very quaint, well maintained two bedroom home with amazing views of mad river, ocean and the beach. Very private, lush and serene setting." - "We definitely will be back and next time we will stay longer to absorb all the beautiful surroundings" - "Cozy country cottage for a perfect couple’s get away. Says it will sleep 6 but that would be too close for comfort for all but the tightest group. Two bedrooms each with a queen bed would work for four, but the small living area with just a couch and one recliner would be tight for indoor seating. It was like visiting great grandmas with all of the antique furnishings. But this place is all about the outdoor space. Beautiful river and ocean views. We enjoyed the outdoor seating on the deck and around the firepit."

- "We enjoyed our stay greatly. It was exceptionally clean and the hosts were very quick to respond to my questions. This was my first Vrbo experience and I will definitely be coming back!" - "My friend and I chose SkyDeck because we loved how beautiful and quirky it looked in the photos and also for its close proximity between Eureka and Redwood National Park. The space was very clean and comfortable, showers had strong water pressure, and the Internet worked great as well. The hosts were very communicative and helpful during the booking process and ensured a seamless check in. We especially loved the thoughtful guide book full of interesting facts about the house, food recommendations, and things to do in the area.

- "the house wasn’t clean at all, floors were dirty, the rooms and living room had a musty/sweaty smell. My socks fell on the bathroom floor, and when I picked them up they were full of dust. All furniture was full of dust, the fridge was dirty, all windows were dirty/dusty. We were asked to not use shoes inside which we did, and our socks got filthy right away. I was shocked to see that it wasn’t clean, isn’t that why they charge a cleaning fee? The house itself is really pretty, and the neighborhood is very quite."

- "This is probably the cleanest house I have rented. Just about every thing I needed for cooking, bathing, sleeping was at hand. Ken is a very friendly approachable person and lives next door so if anything is needed he's there." - "My small family of three stayed here on a trip up the California coast. The town of McKinleyville leaves a little to be desired but it’s a perfect location for access to the beach and the redwoods. We visited Clam Beach and discovered Trinidad Bay beach later in the day. (Stunning views after a great lunch at Trinidad Bay Eatery!) Our day at Redwood National Forest was incredible. Ken, our host, was extremely responsive and accommodating. The backyard garden is a lovely setting for a glass of wine and a campfire. The house itself is extremely clean with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Great for a small group needing a place to land while touring around the area."
