About this property

Trailhead Guesthaus - Family Friendly Rainforest Cabin with Sauna on a Creek

Looking for a peaceful getaway on the wild West Coast?

Escape to our modern 1,600 sq ft cabin nestled in the rainforest near Jordan River, just a short drive to some of the area’s most beautiful beaches and surf breaks. This private retreat sleeps six and is designed for relaxation, reconnection, and time in nature.

Warm up by the wood-burning fireplace after your surf or hike, or relax in the cedar-barrel sauna followed by a refreshing rinse in the outdoor shower. In the fall, winter, and spring months, the creek running through the property swells into a small natural pool; a fun and invigorating cold-dip for the daring.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to feel at home - a loft space for yoga or meditation, a second loft with a quiet workspace, and thoughtful touches throughout. Families are welcome, with a crib, high-chair, books, games, and open spaces to play or explore.

Set within a lush rainforest setting and close to West Coast surf, trails, and beaches, this cabin offers the perfect balance of comfort and adventure.

If you love a dream vacation home, this is it. Beautiful cabin with everything you would need and things you wouldn’t think you will enjoy. So close to many picturesque beaches and trails in different difficulties. The sauna room is on the top of things we really loved. Plus the beds are super comfortable. Loved every bit of our stay. Wished we could stay longer.

Very happy to have found this gem of a property. Everything was perfect, and we wish we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was fantastic with everything you would need. The beds were incredibly comfy, we loved the cozy living room and we had some good guitar jams. The sauna was the perfect addition to the evening after our full day beach excursions.Will definitely be back again in the future.

We rented the cabin for a girls getaway and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. Cozy, in the woods, wood fireplace.... We loved having the sauna and creek nearby for a cold plunge. Would definitely come back!

Absolutley beautiful space, inside & out. I loved having access to the river, came at the perfect time i think as it was fast moving, clear and cold. Sauna was the perfect experiance, anytime of day. Perfect place to check out of phones and tv. Reading, games, cooking & naps were the main activities.It gave us an insight of what it would be like to somewhat live off-grid, we're all for it. Absolutely will come back again.

Absolutely splendid. Precisely what we were hoping for. The property and it's amenities are nothing short of top shelf. Standing in the rainforest after having spent 20 minutes in the sauna followed by a bracing cold plunge was delightful. Then to sit by the wood stove, reading a book and listening to the only radio station on the radio was time well spent.We trekked down to China Beach two times. We watched the surf roll in down at Jordan River. This property was the perfect place to return to and warmup. I'd go there again!

Great place with a super responsive host. Surprisingly great location, which is kind of in the middle of everything. You don’t feel like you are far from anything, but you also feel like you have the peace and tranquility of seclusion. The property is stunning. The sauna/Creek combo was incredible. Would highly recommend for any group or family.
