Welcome to Chapman House

Historic elegance. Modern comfort. Boutique stays in the heart of Humboldt County.

Built in 1876, Chapman House is a beautifully restored Italianate estate where timeless architecture meets modern comfort. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was once described as "one of the finest displays of this magnificent architecture in the country"—a distinction it continues to embody today.

Painstakingly restored between 2018 and 2020, Chapman House preserves the craftsmanship, elegance, and character of the Victorian era while offering the thoughtful amenities today's travelers expect. Every stay is an opportunity to experience a remarkable piece of California history without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Nestled on more than one-third of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, Chapman House is just steps from the Arcata Plaza and only a five-minute bike ride to Humboldt Bay. Whether you're exploring ancient redwood forests, wandering the rugged North Coast, or simply unwinding in one of Arcata's most distinctive historic homes, Chapman House is the perfect place to begin your Humboldt adventure.
