Our stay was excellent. The house was sooooo clean and cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked and the Petrolia is one of our favorite places on Earth. Thanks for a great weekend!

Beautiful Lost Coast getaway!

We came to Petrolia for a couple of days on a road trip up the coast and had a great time. The kitchen was very well-equipped and bedrooms were comfortable for our party of 6. The orchard was also really lovely! The house is just a few minutes from Mattole Beach on the one side and the general store/‘downtown’ on the other. Great place to stay on the lost coast!

A colleague and I stayed for work.

The accommodations were much better than we needed. The house was very clean, up to date, and quiet. As advertised or better. The roads to get there are rough and windy, but in my opinion, that’s a good thing.

Lost Coast Getaway

We were blown away by the vistas as we approached the Petrolia area. The beautiful ranches and the Pacific Ocean were amazing. The folks in Petrolia are so friendly. Our stay was relaxing as well as adventurous and Gina was a wealth of information about how to best navigate the region! The cottage is lovely and well appointed with everything you need! Our family enjoyed games and cooking meals after long days of hiking the redwoods and lost coast. I would highly recommend the Lost Coast Cabin! Gina- we loved the cabin and appreciate you so much! Would love to come back someday :)

Perfect Stay!

To be honest, this place is very remote and the country roads in and out take some adjusting. But, the views are spectacular! And, once you settle into a back-to-nature mindset, the Lost Coast is an amazing place to visit with family. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable and the hosts Gina and Jack are super attentive and accommodating! Our family spent time on the beach, the tide-pools and two days swimming on the Mattole River (which turned out to be everyone's favorite). We even took a day trip to the Redwoods. We would highly recommend a stay at the lost cottage for restorative family time in a beautiful setting!

Beautiful home, gorgeous location

We loved our stay at this hidden gem. The house was beautifully maintained and had everything we needed. There is not much to the town of Petrolia so be prepared to bring supplies with you. There is a general store in case you forget something and they had reasonable prices, considering they were the only game in town. The drive in and out, no matter which way you go, is twisty and turny but the views are magnificent. We had a slight issue getting into the house on arrival because there is no internet and I couldn’t retrieve the code to open the door. Luckily, the back door was accidentally left unlocked. The host assured me that she will rectify this issue for future guests. Gina was very responsive.

Great local place

Perfect for our family, close to relatives and great location. Rare place in the area with great access to local attractions. House was beautifully cared for and well equipped- it’s a remote area so that was important.

Lost Coast Retreat

We had a fantastic time using this lovely and well-appointed home for our Lost Coast adventures. A beautiful cottage, this place is great for hikers, beach lovers, mountain bikers and road bikers alike. Or just start a fire in the wood stove and cozy in. Would definitely recommend!

Amy and her family were wonderful guests. They explored the area's beaches and backroads, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would recommend them to other hosts.

Great Getaway!

I had a fantastic time using the Lost Coast Cottage as a home base to explore the Lost Coast. Great for exploring the beach and other outdoor attractions and also for just staying in and having a fire during a rainy afternoon. Would definitely want to come back again in the future.

Lost Coast Treasure

We were looking for somewhere new for our 38th wedding anniversary. Then, our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren found out at the last minute that their camping reservation had been canceled. Gina could not have been more welcoming. The cottage was clean, well stocked with everything we needed, and private. We ran out of time before we ran out of things to do between the beach, the river, and exploring the orchard. Humboldt Redwoods State Park is a day-trip away. The kitchen is fabulous and the beds are comfortable. We made a good choice, when we chose to visit here and are definitely planning to visit again.

Beautiful & comfortable property to enjoy the Lost Coast

What a lovely place to stay in the stunning &dramatic Lost Coast. Our home for 3 nights was modern, comfortable, kitchen extremely well appointed. The wood floor throughout the house was gorgeous! We were invited to walk through & enjoy the fruit tree orchard - amazing how many fruit trees were growing & producing! The drive to walk the beach was short & we hiked both full day we were there. Gina was prompt in answering our questions. Definitely recommend this place as a get-away when coming to the Lost Coast.

Amazing rental in picturesque Lost Coast California

After coming to this area for years I was shocked and excited to finally have a rental available at all inside the Lost Coast..let alone a three bedroom fully appointed house. This is one of my favorite places in all of the world.. rugged mountain bluffs with redwoods on one side and the breathtaking Pacific on the other. Isolated beaches, driftwood, shells, sea stars, sea lions, stars for miles, and a pace to life that will cure anything that ails you. The house: The owners pride in hosting visitors is extremely clear. From communication prior to arrival..then throughout our entire stay, to a well organized book provided with EVERY question answered we might have had, to labels all around the house guiding us through things from AC’s to appliance use they took care of every detail for us. The house not only met every basic need we had, but provided literally every comfort we could have imagined ..far exceeding what would have been expected. Firewood, games, coloring books, battteries, flashlights, first aid kits, all toiletries, spices, air mattress, excellent linens and beds++++ too much to list. These owners have been living in the Lost Coast for 35years part-time and although they aren’t there full-time.. meeting them, and sharing their lovely rental will most assuredly be one of the best choices you’ll make on your vacation. My children are already asking when we can return again.. so, from our family of avid travelers.. if ever you contemplate experiencing this area for yourself.. you can’t do better than this lovely house!!

Dear Staci, Thank you very much for such a nice review! We've worked hard to add amenities that we know can be helpful in such a remote area. We were happy that you and your family enjoyed your winter-time stay at the Lost Coast Cottage. Rain storms can be challenging in this area, but you guys were real troopers. We appreciated you leaving the house in excellent condition. We'd be so pleased to have you back.
