Luffenholtz Surfside Cabin~Romantic Hot Tub

Search this for a Great overview: "We bet you’ve never heard of the gorgeous Luffenholtz Beach! Located just south of the town of Trinidad in Northern California, Luffenholtz Beach is a hidden area often sheltered by fog. Enjoy some time at this secluded spot by staying at this charming oceanfront cabin, overlooking Luffenholtz Beach. Sit on the deck or relax in the hot tub while soaking up stunning views on the massive deck of this incredible cabin. If you’re looking for the best cabin in Trinidad in Northern California, this is it!"

Rest and recharge at this charming seaside cabin located two miles south of Trinidad. Great romantic getaway for 1 or 2 couples. The main cabin has a one room floor plan designed by by a sailor, and has a cozy, nautical vibe. The Queen-sized bed is comfortable with top notch bedding for your comfort. This cabin has one full bathroom with a walk in shower. There is a second detached, small bedroom with a new Queen bed offers beautiful ocean views and a 1/2 bathroom. There is a fully fenced yard for one well behaved dog. The kitchen/galley is small but fully equipped for preparing delicious meals. Together with a propane bbq for easy grilling, you may dine inside, or al fresco on the deck to the sounds and sights of the sea! As sunset approaches enjoy a glass of wine from Tepona Point, directly across the street from your private driveway. Soak up the relaxation and sweeping ocean views from the 2 person hot tub! You may never want to leave! You can relax and explore for days and never get in your car.

Take a picnic lunch to the tide pools and creek on Luffenholtz Beach, across the street from your cabin. Surf some of the best waves Northern California has to offer at Houda Point/Camel Rock, a 0.4 mile stroll down the road. Or, dare to bare at the popular (clothing optional) Baker Beach, a one-half mile walk north. One mile south Moonstone Beach, at the mouth of the Little River, is a favorite of locals (and is legendary for its hospitality to dogs!). It is known for its endless well of sea shells and sea caves. If you can tear yourself away from your cabin, a two mile ride north brings you to the charming town of Trinidad (population 304!). This seaside village provides you with all necessities, including gas, groceries, art galleries, and fine dining establishments offering local seafood, produce, and meats. It also provides one of the most pristine and spectacular viewing sites for our coastlines and migrating whales.

Spend the early morning exploring the Trinidad Pier, and watch the local fleet unload their catch of Dungeness Crab and King Salmon. Hike the spectacular trail around Trinidad Head, or one of several trails taking you north to College Cove and Elk Head. Charter a fishing boat or rent sea kayaks or stand-up paddleboards. Centrally located, Luffenholtz Seaside Cabin is your gateway to all things that have made Humboldt County Legendary.

Important Notes:

** Guest reserving home must be 25 years or older, be staying at the property the entire time and will be considered the responsible party for this booking.

GETTING AROUND:
Close proximity to ACV airport and conveniently located ¾ miles off Highway 101. However, it should be noted that Scenic Drive is a coastal road that is prone to changing conditions. In several sections the road becomes single lane, with sections of dirt or gravel. Driving slowly and with caution makes this short distance easy to navigate. All sections of the road are easily walked or biked.

We absolutely loved this house on the ocean!Everything about it, from the comfortable beds, the adorable kitchen, the great decks to the awesome hot tub!We felt very secluded, but we were close to everything. The awesome lookout across the street was great for pictures. We found that being at the house, inside the yard was so peaceful, listening to the ocean waves crash.We will definitely come back for a longer stay. Two nights was not nearly long enough. Thank you!!

Amazing gem!

We had a wonderful time at our Trinidad retreat cabin. While the cabin and guest house setting is good, the location and views are utterly amazing! We could not get enough of just hanging out on the deck, or in the hottub, and looking at that gorgeous view! Communication with property managers was prompt and helpful. The space felt just a little bit snug with 2 adults and 2 teens at times (only when we were all inside that is(,and the bathroom in the main house could use a little updating, but it goes with the charm of the house as well. We couldn’t be happier with our rental home and wanted to stay there longer. The beach access is easy and we had the beach almost to ourselves at times! Highly recommend!
