The area is beautiful, beyond words. The house is rustic but had everything we needed. The kitchen was the well stocked with everything we needed to cook our own meals as even the basic, local restaurants are expensive. We used the hot tub which was nice. We didn’t use the guesthouse because it smelt musty (it seemed they tried to cover up the smell with tea grass scent). There were so many trails we could walk in the area. The beach at low tide was a highlight.

Location was great - enjoyed the walk ability of Trinidad. Headies pizza was awesome. The Lighthouse fish and chips was amazing. Highly recommend Fern Canyon and the Tall Trees Trail for hikes. For beaches… for sure do the sunset in Trinidad and we also enjoyed College Cove beach.

The hot tub was great. It fit all our ages...27-79. Communications after scheduling our arrival were friendly and quite efficient. And, walking to the ocean was such a pleasant surprise.

This is a spacious property for our two families with lots of things to do at the property (billiards, ping pong, pin ball, hot tub), a path down to the beach (seals, tide pools, cool rocks), and close to the Redwoods parks and other beaches. The host was very friendly and communication was prompt. We would definitely come back.

We appreciate you returning to the property and are glad to hear your second visit was just as enjoyable as the first. It is wonderful that the features and atmosphere you loved before continue to make your stays memorable.
The house is funky and fun in the best possible way! The pellet stove did a great job at keeping us warm and dry during record rainfall. The views on the forest were nice and the ocean view was just a stroll away. Having Murphys Market and the Eatery a short walk away was very convenient - Trinidad has a lot to offer - and being able to walk was really nice.
Spacious house with a gorgeous yard and natural beauty. Loved the proximity to the beach and shops in Trinidad.

The location was excellent, right in town, easy to walk places. The rooms were nice, clean, bed linens were warm and comfortable. The house is a bit rustic, and a little cold in the foyer. But the game room was fun. How tub was great, and the outdoor shower got hot right away. Overall, we had a great stay. The driveway was a bit sketchy though in a sedan or a lower riding vehicle. Better for an suv or truck. I would stay there again.

Hello….we had a great time and love the house. A couple of things we wanted to make you aware of…the toilet seat in the downstairs bathroom is broken and the heater in the outside cottage will not shut off. Other than that another good stay at your house.

This was the second time renting this place for a family get together. We enjoy the close to town but secluded location. We love the beach access and tranquil creek sounds. It makes for a great location for our large family. One of our favorite places to stay on the north coast.

It's so great to hear your enjoying the home for the second time. We really appreciate our return visitors and it means so much for our returning guests to get to see how we continue to work to improve our properties. Safe travels until next time!
Terrific house for a larger gathering of family and friends. Comfortable bedrooms and fun common spaces, including a huge pool/game room and an expansive deck. The small oceanside village of Trinidad is a real jewel, with a number of scenic beaches within walking or short driving distance. We especially enjoyed the beach immediately accessible by a short trail from the house. Some features of the house are a bit dated but this is far outweighed by the overall comfort, amenities, and location of this listing.

It sounds like your group had a fantastic time at the house. The spacious layout, comfy bedrooms, and the pool and game room seem to have made it an ideal gathering spot. Having a beach just a short trail away is such a bonus, and Trinidad really is a special place to explore. We appreciate you noting a few dated features as well, feedback like that helps us prioritize updates. Glad the overall comfort, amenities, and location made it a memorable stay.
Thank you Chris! It was a pleasure to host your group at the Paloma Creek Lodge, we're glad you enjoyed the home and beautiful Trinidad beaches. With gratitude from the Casago Redwood Coast team.
