Experience a unique coastal getaway in Trinidad, CA. Nestled on the rugged and beautiful Northern California coast, this charming 3 bedroom/ 2 bathroom A-frame home built in the 1970's and secondary family room cabin built offer majestic ocean views. This property is an idyllic retreat for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike. As you step inside this 2 story home, you'll be greeted by a cozy and comfortable living space adorned with one of a kind artwork and décor from the Russian history professor and his wife who studied English literature at U.C. Berkeley and were frequent travelers of Europe and once inhabited this home. The main level includes the open dining, living room and kitchen which makes for easy gathering and entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen has a gas range, toaster oven, microwave and all the gadgets needed to prepare great meals with ease. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table, while the ocean breeze drifts in through the open windows. The dining table comfortably seats 6. Alternatively, you can savor your meals al fresco, which offers uninterrupted views of the ocean and surrounding coastline. The living room has a leather sectional sofa and t.v. There is a den located just off the living room. This space is set up with a small sofa and provides a quiet space to retreat, read a book or take a nap. The property boasts 3 comfortable bedrooms, each with new memory foam queen bed to ensure a peaceful night's sleep. There is one bedroom and bathroom on the main level. This bedroom has a Queen bed and views of the evergreen forest. The bathroom has a stall shower. Upstairs is carpeted throughout and offers 2 more bedrooms both with Queen beds. The West facing bedroom has sweeping ocean views where guests can enjoy waking to the sounds of the sea and the East facing bedroom has views of Redwood trees. There is a 2nd bathroom upstairs that has a bathtub, no shower.

Walk across the breezeway and step inside the cabin that was the original structure built in the 1950's as a retreat for music professors at what is now Cal Poly Humboldt (photos coming soon!). Originally it was a place to play music and was later designed as a family gathering space with breathtaking magical ocean views! The cabin provides more space to spread out, relax, watch t.v., play games or simply watch waves crashing against the cliffs and sea stacks. Witness stunning sunsets from the comfort of the cabin. This space will quickly become a favorite spot for taking in the sweeping ocean views, spotting falcons, whales and sea lions and playing games at the large table. The gas fireplace adds both warmth and ambiance.

Located in a prime location just a few miles North of Trinidad, known as the crown jewel of Humboldt County guests are just a short drive to all of the conveniences of downtown - a full service grocery store, café, restaurants, a historic museum, pier and shops. Trinidad also boasts some of the most pristine beaches around. Sumeg State Park and Redwood National Park with incredible scenic coastal trails and giant ancient Redwoods are just miles from your doorstep. Spend your days exploring the rugged cliffs, tide pools teeming with marine life, and secluded coves. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Trinidad and experience the tranquility of the Pacific Ocean and the magic Humboldt has to offer.

This property was absolutely amazing. From the location to everything we wanted to see to the views from every room in the cottage. Full kitchen with everything you need and 2 full bathrooms. The old cabin was my favorite part for after a long day of hiking to kick back and watch football. Overall one of our top 5 placea we have been and we have been on 27 trips in the past 4 years.

Wonderful Stay / Beautiful Property
Great stay! Property is well taken care of, exceptionally clean, and looks a lot newer than the photos show. Kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils and cookware you need. Downstairs has a bedroom, and bathroom in the hall with shower and soap/shampoo/conditioner. Upstairs has two bedrooms and washer dryer with detergent. Cozy detached cabin has large sitting area with Smart TV. The thought they put into every detail from extra towels, blankets, etc was stellar. All linens were fresh and clean, and beds exceptionally comfortable. Great WiFi in home too. Location is fantastic. 15 minutes to Safeway Grocery Store and 30 mins to the Redwoods. Try to visit on a Saturday…Farmers Market in Arcata is a fun stop. Hoping to visit again soon!

Great Private Oceanfront Retreat!
The home exceeded our expectations. The view is outstanding, and we enjoyed total privacy, with the nearest house well out of sight and out of sound range. This combination is rare. Close to Sue Meg State Park and the town of Trinidad, and Stout Grove in Humboldt Redwood State Park is only about an hour away to the south, with Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park a similar distance away to the north. 6 people could stay here very comfortably.

Beautiful View overlooking the Pacific
Very clean, lovely property with amazing views. The property was more than sufficient space for our family of four with 2 small children. The sound of the ocean makes for unmatched morning meditations. Thanks for a great stay.

Epic View in Secluded Spot
We absolutely loved the spectacular view and seclusion of this special place. The beautiful large lot is on a cliff above the ocean and off a small country road. It is bordered by forest on one side; on there other there is a neighbor house a good distance away and not visible behind a large privacy fence. The view of the coastline from here rivaled or surpassed the many amazing coastal views we saw during our road trip up the north coast. We planned to spend our days out and about exploring, but couldn't help but spend our first day just hanging out here. We definitely hope to return one day.
