Perfect Stay at the Abalone Cabin!

We had a wonderful visit. The cabin was clean, well‑maintained, and fully stocked with all the amenities we could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfortable — we all slept so well after long days exploring! The views were absolutely breathtaking: we watched whales offshore and spotted bald eagles every evening from the patio.This was our landing spot for visiting Redwood National Park and the wooddrift beaches nearby. The space was a great fit for our group of six and felt cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The listing clearly communicated that only one bathroom had a shower, so it was easy to plan around, and it worked out just fine for our group.We highly recommend the Abalone Cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful, serene, and convenient spot to experience the best of the North Coast!Loved the closeness to the market in town. We were able to check in about 30 minutes early, which was nice. Few recommendations: Needs a new can opener in the kitchen and toilet plunger downstairs.

Beautiful property

When we drove up to the house, we were excited by the view of the ocean and the many sea stacks. The house has lovely art and overall is just beautiful. Some of the Russian artwork brought about interesting conversations. We loved Agate Beach, and Just hanging in the front yard. The Trinidad Retreat Contract is extensive and I found them to be formal. Overall it was a great vacation.

We would love to live here.

All I can say we were sad there were only two nights available for our stay but so thankful we were able to stay the two nights. It is a cool place in every way. Unbelievable location that is breathtaking! Immaculate, picturesque, decor true to the bones of the home. We are trying to figure out how to get back during another season.

Great Private Oceanfront Retreat!

The home exceeded our expectations. The view is outstanding, and we enjoyed total privacy, with the nearest house well out of sight and out of sound range. This combination is rare. Close to Sue Meg State Park and the town of Trinidad, and Stout Grove in Humboldt Redwood State Park is only about an hour away to the south, with Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park a similar distance away to the north. 6 people could stay here very comfortably.

Wonderful Stay / Beautiful Property

Great stay! Property is well taken care of, exceptionally clean, and looks a lot newer than the photos show. Kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils and cookware you need. Downstairs has a bedroom, and bathroom in the hall with shower and soap/shampoo/conditioner. Upstairs has two bedrooms and washer dryer with detergent. Cozy detached cabin has large sitting area with Smart TV. The thought they put into every detail from extra towels, blankets, etc was stellar. All linens were fresh and clean, and beds exceptionally comfortable. Great WiFi in home too. Location is fantastic. 15 minutes to Safeway Grocery Store and 30 mins to the Redwoods. Try to visit on a Saturday…Farmers Market in Arcata is a fun stop. Hoping to visit again soon!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was perfect. Very well maintained and clean like new. The great room library is amazing! Large grassy area over looking the most beautiful beach and a canopy of redwoods - Just amazing. Management was very attentive with a few questions I had and a small issue with cable was immediately taken care of. Always had a great experience with Trinidad Retreats. Thank you, we'll be back every year. 15 minutes to the airport, 20 to Eureka and 5 to Trinidad. Great restaurants and shopping!

Pleasant Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This ‘Abalone’ home has a beautiful view from the fenced off cliff in the front yard. It was wonderful to hear the waves crashing on the shore below and it was warm enough, even in late Sept., to enjoy our breakfast outside. The home is dated but clean and very useable. The beds were very comfortable too. We spent a lot of time in the ”CABIN” building watching movies and completing a puzzle after our day trips. I must note the heater worked well in there but was very noisy. The electric fireplace was in pieces and did not work at all which was a disappointment. The refrigerator freezer was overcome with ice and frost but management seemed uninterested. Overall , we enjoyed our relaxing stay.

Lovely Abalone House/Cabin in Trinidad CA

The cabin (actually a house and cabin) is very nice, well-kept and very clean. The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking. But we did very little as we were on vacation! There is not a pantry to store purchased food from grocery store, so things were left on the counter. That was fine with us. Refrig was nice, clean & big. You could store food in there if needed. There was plenty of paper products & garbage bags. We had plenty of room as it was just 2 of us. The beds were comfortable, plenty of linens, pillows, and towels. There is also a washer and dryer. This allowed us to pack on the lighter side. Everything was in good working order. The ocean view out front was stunningly beautiful! We often heard seals barking and able to see them with binoculars. The area the house is in is absolutely beautiful. I loved all the lush vegetation on Stagecoach Rd. We used the house as home base and did many day trips. For us the location worked out well as to the areas we planned on visiting (the coast line, redwood forests, and hiking). There are TONS of hiking trails in the area and it was fun to explore. Two suggestion we have. One is more light for reading in the living room and over the kitchen table. That was challenging at night. During the day it there was plenty of light with all the windows. The other suggestion would be foot ottoman(s) to elevate your feet. We definitely would stay here again in the future. Thanks to Trinidad Retreats!

We loved our 3-day stay at the Abolone cabin. The views from the clifftop and from inside the home are beautiful. The setting is tranquil and very private. The house is well equipped and comfortable. We used the home as an ideal base to go out for the day to explore the area's parks, trails and coast.

This was our first time getting a vacation rental and we are so glad we booked this cabin. It was very clean and the views were amazing. It was the perfect place to explore the nearby beaches and redwoods. Despite the fog we still had some amazing views and lucked out with almost a perfect sunset our last night there. I would definitely recommend this cute cabin for anyone wanting to explore the northern CA coast and redwoods. We were pretty busy sightseeing and didn't even utilize the other little cabin and wish we had more time to hang out. But the woods around the area are so magical. So glad we got to enjoy this little slice of heaven for a few days!
