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.

My family of 4 loved staying here. The views were beautiful and the property is as listed. It's a short drive to Redwood National Park, which was the purpose of our visit. Will definitely book Raven House again if we're in the area!

As others have noted, the sunset here is spectacular. It is a great little place for a weekend getaway, with great amenities and friendly staff. 10/10 would stay here again. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to get to at night/for larger vehicles, but it is very quiet and private!

We enjoyed our stay at the Raven House in Trinidad. The ocean views are amazing, the queen bed and living room furniture are comfortable. The outdoor spa was prefect for relaxing in after lots of walking and hiking during the day. The other perk is the location, close to town and beaches.

Amazing spot on the bay in Trinidad. Quiet and peaceful; loved the deck and hot tub. Temps allowed for us to sleep with the windows on the 2nd floor open every night. Perfect romantic getaway for 2 people close to Redwood National and state parks!

Location was amazing, loved looking out at the Pacific Ocean every morning and evening (and all times in between) and listening to the waves. House was clean and very comfortable and on a very nice private drive. Hot tub was nice too. An excellent jumping off point for adventures in Trinidad, the North Coast, and in the Redwood parks. Would absolutely stay again.

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.
