About this property
Raven House - Hot Tub, Romantic Ocean Views!
Raven House is an idyllic retreat for couples seeking romance or small families eager to explore the redwoods and nearby beaches. Located just half a mile south of the seaside village of Trinidad, this oceanfront escape feels wonderfully secluded. Set along the redwood-lined Scenic Drive on a bluff overlooking the sea, the home sits approximately 60 feet above the water, offering unforgettable coastal views.
Relax in the hot tub as you take in spectacular sunsets and watch for passing whales, seals, and the occasional porpoise. At night, drift off to the soothing sound of the waves in the upstairs primary suite, which features a queen Tempur-Pedic bed, a cozy reading nook, a 32-inch TV, a private balcony with sweeping views of Trinidad Bay, and an attached bathroom with a stall shower.
The open-concept main level invites you to unwind while enjoying majestic ocean views from the sofa or while sharing meals at the stunning redwood slab island—an artisan centerpiece that doubles as the dining table. The sofa converts to a queen sleeper, ideal for up to two children. A convenient half bath is also located on this level. Games are provided for relaxed evenings in, or step out onto the deck to watch for whales and sea lions just offshore.
While the home does not have direct beach access, Trinidad State Beach and Old Home Beach are just a short half-mile drive away. Baker Beach, Luffenholtz Beach, Houda Point, and Moonstone Beach are all within two miles, making it easy to explore the rugged beauty of the coastline. Redwood National Park is only a 20-minute drive north, perfect for a day of hiking beneath towering ancient trees.
If staying in is more your style, cozy up by the gas fireplace, listen to your favorite music on the iPod docking station/CD player, or enjoy free Wi-Fi and cable on the 42-inch Smart TV. The fully equipped kitchen—decorated with mosaic art—has everything you need to prepare meals together, including a gas range, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, and more. Prefer to grill? A gas barbecue is available on the deck.
Additional amenities include a washer and dryer located outside on a covered patio. Nearby, you’ll find excellent restaurants, scenic trails, surfing, kayaking, and fishing opportunities. But once you arrive at Raven House, you may find it hard to leave—this private coastal haven invites you to slow down, breathe in the ocean air, and truly unwind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Raven House. It was clean, warm, and the hot tub was great. The bedroom was very cozy. Our new favorite getaway spot!
This was a perfect weekend getaway for my boyfriends birthday. The view was amazing and it was great to hear the waves and buoys. The recommended restaurant where a life saver because we had no clue where anything was. Overall 10 out 10.
Everything was perfect!!! The view is beyond words, the house is cozy and clean and directions were very clear. We loved feeling secluded and safe. Incredible trip and experience.
Fantastic place to stay. Place was very well set up and has everything you need for a longer stay. Trinidad is a great town to explore and you are a short drive from the redwoods and beaches. Very clean.
Property was just what we needed. Gorgeous kitchen and one of the best views overlooking the bay and ocean. Wonderful sunsets every night watching the seals on the rocks.

Reviewer Comments:
Raven House was perfect! It was immaculate, comfortable, beautiful, filled with amazing views. The location was perfect for our Reedwood Parks vacation. Trinidad itself was terrific too. Good restaurants.
We got married in the red woods just north of Trinidad and this house was amazing! Great hot tub to see the sunset, cute small house off the beaten path. We already went to go back!
My husband and I were dropping our child off at college at Humboldt. We had the opportunity to stay at this charming property. The views were incredible. It has a nice two person hot tub. The pictures were accurate and everything was as advertised. I really enjoyed the peaceful views and locations. Loved my stay!
Amazing views, great location, and clean. Perfection.
I don't recommend arriving after dark (like we did) - it's not easy to find which is a good thing if you want privacy and a secluded location. Loved it.
The view from the bedroom is fantastic. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and the cool ocean breeze was unforgetsble. The bed was very good quality. Are expectations were exceeded

Hidden gem with stunning views. Great for a weekend getaway. Home is well equipped with rustic charm.
This was a return trip for us. We'd stayed at the raven house over 10 years ago before we had children. We brought them back for spring break to see the redwoods. It was so fun to come back. The house was even better with the addition of the hottub!

Very cozy and comfortable stay with the most awesome view! Perfect spot for two to relax and enjoy the local food and area activities. However, be sure to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS before leaving, so there aren't any surprises...had to bring SMALL car since parking is very limited and was a bit hard to find in the dark.

My husband and I spent the 3 day valentine weekend here. The space was perfect for the two of us, just enough room to spread out a bit, but also nice and cozy. The views from each window are insane. The sound of the ocean is incredibly soothing. We enjoyed the hot tub in the misty weather at night. Highly recommended!
