Trinidad Retreats - Trinidad, California

The little red house with the grassy backyard was charming, spotless and perfect for us and our dog. We stayed there to visit the Redwood National Park but were pleasantly surprise to find a most romantic beach and restaurant just minutes away. We highly recommend this house for a couple with a small dog.

Renting through Trinidad retreats was great!! The service is unparalleled, truly. They are efficient, kind and it is obvious they really care about your vacation experience. The house could not have been better. It was extremely clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. It was better than advertised and was a great deal for the price. Next time I’m in Humboldt county I will definitely go straight to Trinidad retreats when looking for a house rental.

Our stay in Trinidad was amazing! The home we rented was beautiful with all the amenities. The deck was gorgeous with views of the Pacific. Loved waking up to that view. Also was well located to several national parks where we saw the amazing Redwoods! Highly recommend!

There were no instructions/emails for check in. We had to call the evening we got there. They were helpful but luckily one of us had service because we wouldn't have gotten in if we didn't call.

There were no curtains/blinds in the house except the bedrooms & bathrooms.. very weird especially considering the area. The house is in a neighborhood.. not a lot of privacy without curtains. The house is located on a street that is near an overpass for the freeway. Homeless near this area.

First morning there, we discovered the water heater was turned down so we didn't have hot water for our first shower. I understand trying to save money when no one is staying there, but why wouldn't it be turned up for guests?

Heat would not stay on for more than a couple hours..Very frustrating waking up to 60 degrees. We set it at 65 and it wouldn't stay warm.

One light didn't work.

The house was very comfortable aside from the issues. They had signs everywhere for how to operate things in the house. Hot tub was awesome and beds were comfy. Fireplace easy to use. Customer service was awesome and staff was very friendly.

Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend staying at this house.

Such a great place to stay right in the middle of all the different Redwood Parks. We planned trips each day to visit the different parks and hikes, while also leaving a few days to stay close and visit Arcata Redwood Forest trails, that are literally a block away. We had fun finding banana slugs and just absolutely in awe of the majestic beauty of God’s creation! This home feels like you’re staying right in the redwoods! We enjoyed the classic homey space in the rental, perfect for 3 couples with 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms. Plenty of games and books for downtime, or just relaxing on one of the 2 lovely patios. Very comfortable!

We had a great family time. We enjoyed the beautiful weather, and the ocean. Trinidad retreats took good care of us. Will definitely be back.

The pros: This clean cottage is tucked behind a living fence of flowering goodness, with comfy beds, welcoming kitchen to cook in, a cozy family room area and located very close to everything we came to see. The cons: A bit of a moldy smell upon entering, ancient electrical outlets not up to safety code in kitchen (GFCI outlets are supposed to be in both kitchen and bathrooms), one roll of TP for 3 night visit (found that out at early our last morning there & was brought extra TP shortly after calling), was not clear at all that someone lived in an attached unit (not a problem, but would have liked to have known instead of being surprised), outdoor chairs were filthy, lots of freeway noise if trying to relax on the back porch, and that TV is impossible to figure out (binder is unhelpful to assess how to simply watch anything) so we watched videos on my phone. Lastly, please update the shower head from that prehistoric thing; a hand shower on a slide bar makes more sense here and is a very easy & cost effective upgrade!! We hoped for a bit more attention to detail given what we paid.

Our stay with Trinidad Retreats was fabulous. Our house was amazingly clean, comfortable and everything we had hoped it would be...a truly relaxing experience. The only caveat that I would say, and this is why we are only giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the water supply for the cabin was not what we were expecting.
I guess its fairly common for cabins to have "organic matter" in their water supply when it comes from a fresh spring...only its a little hard to spend a week washing in tea colored water. We were not informed of this ahead of our stay, but rather found out when we thought someone had not flushed the toilet when we arrived, only to look up and see a placard that explained the phenomena. Okay, so fine, makes sense...
We then saw in the kitchen that the water from the tap was filtered and not to worry, it was drinkable. Okay great, but after a week of washing with this water, my skin felt weird and we just kept getting a little more freaked out, as to wondering if in fact it was safe...so we looked it up online, and yes, it is...but that didn't help my skin and hair after a week...
This is not something that got me on the phone with the lovely people at Trinidad Retreats, but it was something that made me wonder why they didn't disclose this before hand...or why not purchase a filter for the whole house?
Regardless, we have a lovely time, but we were glad to get back to non organic matter water!
