The tubes

Really feels like you're in a hidden oasis! And the farm fresh eggs are a yummy nice touch! 😁

Everything was great!

The soaking tubs were excellent and such a fun hide-away! The rooms were very comfortable! Loved the little kitchen.

This hotel is not equipped with bathrobes. Staff provide medium sized towels. Only 4 car parking space inside the property. Hot tubs area is a little bit too dark if used over night (spa is open 24 h)

We stayed at The Front Porch for 3 nights with our dog. Comfortable and cozy room. Kitchen equipped with everything you need (pots, plates, cutlery, oil, salt etc...). Very comfortable bed. The peculiarity of this hotel is that everything is quiet, in front of our bedroom (#4) there is a porch with waterfalls which are very relaxing. The external hot tubs are surrounded by plants and green, silent and very cozy. If you are traveling with your four-legged friend we recommend a hike in the "Arcata Community Forest" literally 5 minutes from the hotel. Trails are easy and surrounded by massive redwoods. If you prefer the beach, "Moonstone Beach County Park" is the perfect place to relax, read a book and walk with your dog (pet friendly beach).

The small amount of parking but also understandable.

Sauna, tubs, perfect little room with kitchen. Grateful for the provided ear plugs as it does get loud in the morning.

Not enough parking space

Easy check in and check out, clear instruction sent before arrive

The town/area and street where it is located looks a bit sketchy. So much so I almost bailed on first sight. I’m so glad we trusted the 9+ reviews! Faint mustiness that’s expected when antique pieces are incorporated,

This secret garden is truly a hidden oasis! The courtyard gardens, sauna, and bath houses are amazing! The riverbed guest suit was so thoughtfully curated not only in design, but also had everything we needed (and even things we didn’t know we needed!) I loved that there was an unexpected bowl of farm fresh eggs in the fridge, random but fitting for the vibe! The French press coffee caraf, hot tea selection and electric kettle were comforts from home! My kids (10,14)loved the hot chocolate and microwave popcorn too!

It was hot in there. Poor air circulation even tho only in 70s outside. Also would’ve been nice to see a face. Never saw staff during our stay.

Beautiful garden. Peaceful oasis. Well equipped. Didn’t get to try sauna but it looked cool.

Very old school, arty.

The picture shown in the sauna room not the door to your room. I found it too expensive.

The rooms were comfortable.

No AC in units. There was a note to let the facility know if you wanted a window fan; however, doing this would require the blinds of the bedroom to be open allowing anyone walking by the courtyard easy view into the unit. Not an ideal situation for privacy. Some of the soaking tubs outside were missing their drain plugs and one unit did not have a lock on the door.

Very cute and unique stay. The outdoor baths were a fun touch!

The sofa bed was not as comfortable as we had hoped. But sofa beds are hit and miss!

It was exactly as it was described on page. We arrived after 7pm, it was seamless checkin.

A beautiful oasis in Arcata. Quiet. Loved all the attention to detail and little sitting areas. Even nicer than pictured. The sauna and baths were glorious.

Magical place to stay. The spa was great and the beds were comfy! Great location in town, walkable to many great restaurants.

Garden courtyard was so beautiful and rooms were cozy

It would be great to have an earlier check in time or later check out date so we can have more time in the tubs!

This was our third time staying at The Front Porch Inn and we will definitely return. The bed was so comfortable that my husband wants me to call and find out what brand of mattress we slept on! We took full advantage of the full kitchen and baked a spanakopita for our anniversary dinner. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tubs are beautiful and private, and the gardens looked amazing after this last winter's rain.

The doors to the units can be heard and felt. Our unit was next to the storage room, too, which needed a strong pull to close? Anyway, the owners asked in their welcome sheet that everyone be conscientious when closing their doors and to use their quiet voices when possible. Our neighbor in unit 3 had their music streaming throughout the night and for reasons unknown to us, kept exiting and entering in their unit from midnight to 3 am. We didn't want to confront the neighbor because the behavior seemed really odd. Bring ear plugs, and maybe, melatonin if you are sensitive sleeper.

We stayed at FPHO because it was pet friendly. We love to travel with our dog - especially to go hiking. Whether you have a dog, check out the beautiful redwoods and many trails in the nearby Arcata Community Forest. FPHO's landscape is gorgeous and peaceful. We stayed in unit #4 the waterfall room which probably got its name because you could hear the waterfall fountain as you sleep. Shampoo, Condition, Bodywash, large bath towels, and wash clothes provided in our shower. There were also foaming soap, hand towels, ear cotton swaps, cotton balls (didn't use), and first aid kit (also didn't use). My spouse used the copper outdoor bath. I would have but did not like the little gnats flying above the baths. It was a 4 block walk to downtown (we loved Cafe Brio and Hole in the Wall sandwiches). You are also about 2 blocks away from the nature wildlife nature preserve trail, which we walked our dog in the mornings. Next door to the building is a brand new playground and half basketball court for kids and small patch of green grass for dogs to potty. We also found the little gem across the street - the Humbolt Pet Supply store, which had a self-serve pet bath, which our dog needed to wash off all the sand and salt water after a day at the beach dunes. We parked on the street in the quiet safe neighborhood. There is onsite parking but there are only 4 spots.The room was Bohemian decor - cozy and clean. We did not use the fully-stocked kitchen very much but loved that there were tea/coffee/creamer/hot chocolate/popcorn and fresh farm eggs waiting for us.

We prefer a firm mattress.

We loved being able to take a soak and cook dinner after a long day of driving.

Netflix or cellular streaming. Hard to watch live sports.

Ease of access. Plethora of towels, utensils, pots, pans, blankets and pillows. Even eggs in the refrigerator.

Beautiful oasis! They have put a lot of thoughtfulness into each amenity
