Relaxation, ocean waves & exploring redwoods

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 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.

Very comfortable, clean and spacious self-contained studio above the garage on the owners’ property, just across the road from the steps down to Luffenholtz beach. While the studio faces away from the coast, the sound of the waves can be heard with the balcony doors open. Don’t forget to explore the gardens surrounding the property, absolutely gorgeous. The road into the property is rough in places but our low clearance car had no trouble. We loved the beachy feel of Trinidad and found this the perfect place to explore Redwoods National Park.

Charming little cottage next to the beach. Very peaceful and serene location. We could hear the creek and ocean waves. Great location for visiting Redwood National and State Parks and Moonstone Beach, Agate Beach and Trinidad State Beach. We were out hiking everyday. Enjoyed dinner at Moonstone Grill, just a couple minutes drive from the cottage. Loved the skylight which flooded the unit with natural light. The kitchen is small with just the basics, but it was perfectly functioning and adequate for our needs.

Luffenholtz Delight

Great location! 2miles to Trinidad and 103 steps to Luffenholtz beach. Owners are a delight and the grounds are immaculate! We divided our time between sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean, walking along the beach, birding and visiting historic sights in the area.

Quaint Beach Home

Good communication laid out the expectations. Easy check-in. Great location across the street from the beach. We very briefly lost power, but they have a back up generator, which was great!

Relaxing

This was exactly what we wanted. A beautiful few and peace and quite at the end of the day! The place is stunning with all the beautiful plants. Our few of the ocean from the beautiful front lawn was amazing. Access to the beach was easy. Trinidad is a quiet little town. We loved it here

Dreamy. Lovely. Beautiful!

Property was perfectly maintained. Garden was gorgeous. Host was courteous. Was not prepared for the stairway up to the living area/bedroom. A bit challenging for the aged but managed with care. Would loved to go back. 🤗

A lovely retreat

The cottage was perfect for our stay. The property's gardens were beautiful and lush, a joy to walk through. We used the cottage as our base of operation for hiking the Redwoods Parks, and it worked very well. It was lovely to come back after a day of hiking and relax with a glass of wine in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the cove (some days the fog hadn't rolled in and we could even SEE the cove!) There is a full kitchen, but there are no oils or spices (other than salt and pepper) on hand. The room was bright and cheery even on foggy days. The owners' pup was very friendly. If we were in the area again, we'd definitely rebook.

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.

The Spirit of Luffenholz

This is a creekside property with several acres of professionally designed and installed landscape that will remind one of Butchart Gardens in British Columbia on a smaller scale. The ocean is visible from the front yard and the ocean breakers make a sound that is, well, mesmerizing. You will hear the gurgling of Luffenholz Creek at all times when outside. There is shade parking. The owners are very friendly & gracious, and clearly, spend a lot of time in those gardens. There is delightful pup who will greet you. The rental is an efficiency treehouse apt. above the garage of the main residence. Shaded by giant Redwoods, it has everything you need, including complete privacy. Note that there are 17 steps that climb up to the sublime chill pad.

Sound of the surf from room.

Excellent location. Away from town but very short drive to restaurants and grocery. You could hear the sound of the surf from the room. Short but steep walk to the beach. Owners were very helpful when I had a problem with my car. An excellent stay. Would highly recommend.

Clean, comfortable, quiet cottage in the woods but near the waves. So special!

My husband and I had a very nice stay at this lovely beach cottage. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. We were nestled in the trees but could hear the waves nearby. Such a nice experience! The cottage was very clean, well-stocked, quiet, private, and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. Thank you to Hosts Tom and Tom!
