This was our favorite place so far. The have a great view of the ocean. Place was clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. Would recommend and would stay there again.
Thank you so much for our beautiful and tranquil stay, the property and gardens are absolutely beautiful and the view of the ocean from the seating area near the guest house was breathtaking
This location has wonderful views and a pieceful setting. Lovely sunset views and close to town. Most definitely returning. The dog Lucy is also absolutely adorable.
If the nature’s beauty is what you are searching for, this is the place to stay. Peaceful surroundings and easy access to beaches and redwood forests. The garden is wonderful.
Absolutely stunning property! The cottage has everything you need and was nicely decorated & very clean. Comfortable bed & nice linens. The gardens were such a fabulous surprise! Tom & Tom were so enjoyable to visit with. The views and close proximity to the beach was the cherry on top of our stay.
Beautiful cottage in a great location. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and felt private from property owner. Loved all the windows which made the space feel very open. Host was friendly. Great location for hiking the redwoods.
The cottage is just across the road from the Luffenholtz beach access. Tom was very friendly and encouraged us to explore their property. The cottage is very private and quiet and next to the main house on the hillside surrounded by beautiful landscaping and plants. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
Lovely little studio flat with a skylight and a balcony overlooking the NorCal jungle. Tom is great and the grounds were lovely too. Best is the sound of the ocean.
Property was perfect for a relaxing stay with stunning beaches "across the street" and down steep stairs. You can hear the waves from the cottage. And it's a great location for further exploring all the Humboldt coast has to offer, including Redwoods and nature refuges. Host were friendly & helpful. Cottage is a comfortable sanctuary.
The grounds are fantastic! The owners could charge admission just for the flowers. Stand in one place and look at the ocean. Move a few feet and sit in a chair beside a flowing stream. We are repeat visitors for the past 12 years.
We liked it so much I think we,ll do it again sometime.If you go you should check out the gardens there beautiful.Everything was very clean and it felt very private.I'd give it two thumbs up all the way.
This was a perfect place for a dual get-away weekend and wedding celebration. Loved hearing the ocean waves in the morning while on the deck and admiring the natural beauty of this magnificent part of California!
The loft was lovely. It was foggy Friday night but on Saturday night the fog cleared and we were able to see the stars through the moonroof so we went outside and sat in Adirondack chairs and looked at the stars. Sunday morning before we left we took a walk through your beautiful garden is very peaceful. Thank you so much for a beautiful place to stay on the coast.

Great Location
Enjoyed the cottage while visiting family in Trinidad. We were busy so we only enjoyed view of the ocean but looked like very easy walk to beach.
We had an amazing experience at the seaside cottage. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful and welcomed us with open arms. We felt very cared for! The property is gorgeous and the setting is absolutely breathtaking. The beach is a short walk and charming downtown Trinidad is a 7-minute drive. We can't wait to come back to this fantastic property in one of our most favorite areas of California.
