We loved it here!

We stayed here as a home base and was a great location to be just a few minutes up to 1-3 hours from everything we wanted to explore: Sue-Meg State Park, Agate Beach, Ferndale, Willow Creek, Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail, Trillium Falls Trail and Elk). Every morning we spent walking down to the ocean view point and watched the waves One day we even heard the seals, but we didn’t see them. This is a great place for a single person or a couple who want to be central to everything but still feel secluded among the trees

Cozy ocean front tiny home

Loved this little home! Perfect for just my husband and I. Hearing the sea lions from the house was my favorite part! It was also very clean and loved the relaxing music playing as we walked in.

Serenity

We are a retired couple and we took a road trip up the West Coast. We stayed in the cottage while visiting the Redwood Forest. We found the self catering to have everything we needed and it was a nice reprieve from eating out all the time. The location was very special, so beautiful and handy to all we wanted to do in the area. The check-in process was excellent with easy to follow and complete instructions. I would recommend the cottage if you're looking for privacy, quiet and relaxation.

I would definitely recommend it. You won't be disappointed especially if you planning a trip to Redwood. Thank you.

Cozy gateway to the Redwoods

Just as advertised, in short. Easy check-in, spotless-clean upon our arrival, wonderful partial views of the water from the living room and BBQ deck (and a short walk to bluffs with lovely views and the sounds of sea lions), and a cozy and comfortable bedroom. Ideal for a couple, might feel cramped with someone staying on the fold-out bet. Perfect location to explore the Redwoods parks (and hidden gem Sue-Meg state park next door).

Nice Place, Terrible Beds

The location of this little cottage was great. It was peaceful, clean, beautiful and well equipped. Unfortunately, both the fold out bed and the bedroom mattress were extremely misshapen, lumpy and quite uncomfortable as mentioned in other reviews. A nice, comfortable bed would have made this a 5 star stay.

Very cute!

Clean and definitely roomy enough for me and my husband. The grounds are lovely and amenities were excellent. The center of the city of Trinidad is located close by with a nice market, gas station and a couple of really good restaurants. Don’t miss Sue-Meg State Park nearby. A good base location for all the things we wanted to see and do in the area. We LOVED our stay here and the whole area is gorgeous!

Some false advertising

If you book this property through VRBO, be aware that there are NOT laundry machines on site, even though the VRBO listing states that there are. We brought half as many clothing items that we would have if we'd known that we'd have to drive into town somewhere to do laundry. Actually, we probably wouldn't have rented the place. During the stay, I reached out to the Vacasa help line and did not get a response for THREE DAYS!! By then we had already checked out in our dirty, stinky clothes. Now that I'm home, I just got off the phone with Vacasa to find out how this happened. Not surprisingly, all blame was deflected and it is now on me to work with VRBO to get the listing corrected. Seriously??? It's an otherwise great property, but the way this was (not) handled casts a shadow over the positives.

Pros and Cons

The cabin was nice but the mattress on the bed was the worst we have ever encountered with dips and crevasses and a noisy plastic under sheet. If you plan to stay make sure that is replaced first. Also, though it's on a beautiful property with great views in the public areas, be aware the main view from the cabin, to the west, is not the ocean but a carport and travel trailer.

Cute cabin in the woods

Small, well equipped cabin in the woods. No washer and dryer. Numerous kitchen gadgets and supplies. Bed comfortable. Overall very clean and well organized. Plenty of linens. Tissues in bathroom would have been nice. Remote location, hard to find at night. Nice ocean view, could hear sea lions. Enjoyed our stay.

Paradise in the dark

Absolutely beautiful presentation, great size, everything was perfect except the time of year. Wind & Rain took the power out, that includes the WiFi & Internet, water pressure & the heat. The hum of generators all around made it clear our accommodations were lacking. Grateful for all the extra blankets! Management company did reach out, addressed our concerns and made concessions. Impressed the unit came with a battery operated lantern!!
