I had the unfortunate experience of going to a retirement party at Heavenly Rooted Estate several…read moreweeks ago. The parking was atrocious. I had to park on a dusty hillside and got stuck (but didn't realize it until after dark!). someone with a 4 wheel drive truck pulled me out, but my car was filthy and covered with dirt and weeds. Other cars were stuck too. The party was loud and crowded and there weren't enough bathrooms for everyone. The bathrooms smelled like urine. The music was way too loud, so loud in fact, that the sheriff showed up. After the sheriff left, the music was turned up even more which made me very uncomfortable. I couldn't even talk to anyone because of the volume. I do not recommend this place for parties. It was poorly planned, very unprofessional, with no respect for our hard working police. Do not book a party here. Do not go to a party here! It was a complete disaster!

Let me just start off by saying this is a BEAUTIFUL venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding…read morereception here. Everything turned out beautiful, it was a fun space, lots of parking, and super affordable. My wedding was straight out of a fairytale...except the hall manager. Our whole experience trying to rent this venue was a bit difficult. The hall manager we worked with was extremely scattered and stand-offish. Unfortunately, I wish I would have seen these as red flags. After a magical night, we returned the next morning with a crew of 20 to help us clean the facility. We took all of our trash to the dump and left the facility looking better than it did when we arrived. We did leave something there accidentally, called the hall manager and arranged to meet her there to pick it up. When we arrived (exhausted from cleaning all morning and returning rentals all day), the manager proceeded to accuse us of breaking two carts (both of which my caterer notified me were broken before our rental of the space), being "thoughtless and disrespectful" and overall "terrible people". She then proceeded to yell at us for moving the stage lights (something we were unaware were separate rentals and did not come with the facility rental), not sweeping the bathrooms because there was two quarter-sized scraps of clean toilet paper near the ground (which we did sweep every room before leaving!). Oh, and the piano is apparently supposed to stay on top of an ill-fitting scooter (a serious liability) which in the hustle and bustle, our group of guys took it off the scooter, thinking that was the safe and appropriate thing to do. Anyway- long story short, she continued to complain about how she doesn't get paid for this job, how we ruined her day, and how we were going to "pay" for all of this (we did not get our $300 security deposit back, which is fine) The security deposit is supposed to cover things like that, so it really was inappropriate to threaten us and make us feel terrible, when the security deposit is meant for this exact reason. So, I would say just proceed with caution when renting this venue. If you can deal with a demeaning and scattered hall manager, then go for it. It really is a beautiful venue.

Opening in 1999, the Arcata Community Center is an intricate part of the town in which it is named after. I have attended numerous functions over the years here, seed swaps, basketball games, awards dinners, live music performances, volunteer commitee meetings and holiday craft fairs. This building offers a multitude of options to the community at large for hosting events both large and small. This most recent visit was for an annual awards dinner with over 300 in attendance that was held in the great hall and with all those participants it was surprisingly not overcrowded. The facility is clean bright and very well maintained. There is a huge parking lot that fills around three sides of the building as well, so there is ample parking for literally any size event. The ACC provides a great location with very nice facilities for hosting any event large or small and is available for rental through the Arcata Parks and Recreation Department. 4 Stars a nice venue in a convenient location. 00673

This review is long overdue! We have stayed in a couple different Trinidad Retreats vacation…read morerentals over the years and really enjoyed our stay at both of them. They have vacation rentals in Humboldt County in Trinidad, Arcata, and McKinleyville. We have only stayed in ones in Trinidad. Trinidad holds a special place in my heart and I absolutely love this quaint beach town! They have several properties in Trinidad that overlook the ocean and the views are absolutely stunning so you can pick the ones that works the best for you. Some of the properties also have a hot tub if that is something that you are looking for. They have dog friendly vacation rentals as well, which is important to us because we love going on mini vacations with our dog. Trinidad is such a beautiful area for a getaway and to have mindful moments to take in the natural beauty that surrounds you! We absolutely loved watching the sunsets and enjoying wine in the evenings! Trinidad is truly a magical place! The only negatives are that more and more people are discovering Trinidad so the prices in the area of bed and breakfasts and vacation rentals have gone up. Also, I don't love the fees that are associated with vacation rentals and the rules. Overall though, Trinidad is a beautiful place to stay and if you are looking for your own private oasis, Trinidad Retreats has some amazing properties to stay at!

Our wedding was held at Mitchell grove July 2019. Our experience with this venue was extremely…read morepositive and we really feel that having our wedding at Mitchell Grove is a big piece of what made it so special. We looked at many, many venues in Humboldt County with a few requirements: we could bring our own caterer, we could bring our own alcohol, we could bring our own DJ, and it had beautiful outdoor spaces. Mitchell Grove not only checked all of these boxes but another one that almost no other venue did: BATHROOMS! Nice bathrooms! Multiple! (Seriously, this is not to be underrated). Also, you rent the venue from Friday morning- Sunday afternoon which is so so nice for DIY brides like myself. After weeks of trying to get in contact with various venues, dealing with grouchy venue managers and reading through not-so-generous contracts viewing Mitchell Grove was a breath of fresh air. The owners Will & Julie were extremely quick in their communications and gave us a same day tour. They spent so much time showing us around and answering questions and even offered to save booking our date for a week to give us time to decide. I had originally wanted to have our wedding at Pamplin Grove so that we could be surrounded by nature and the redwoods, and I feel like I missed out on none of that having our wedding at Mitchell Grove. It has big wow factor, and many of our guests were wowed by it's beauty as well. Through the year of planning Will & Julie let us come out to the venue a couple of times for planning and were always really gracious and welcoming while we were there. The weekend of the wedding they were helpful, available and did a lot of awesome behind the scenes help. Another awesome thing- they have lots of little extras available- such as chairs, various decorations, arch ways, etc. The weekend of the wedding went smoothly and I was blown away by how beautifully landscaped the entire property was. In the owners words- this is a perfect venue for "DIY-ish" brides. If you are looking for a beautiful laid back venue but also like maybe aren't into pit toilets, Mitchell Grove is awesome. If you are looking at venues in Humboldt County, at least tour Mitchell Grove before making a decision!
