About the host
Hosted by Steve Ladwig

My wife Jen and I had always dreamed of being able to live in Trinidad and then it finally happened. We both work at Cal Poly Humboldt and love to get outside as much as possible in Humboldt County. We live on this property and know this community and have been in this part of California for 30 years. I am originally from Carlsbad, CA and Jen is from Junction City, CA. I came to Humboldt for the small town experience and Jen came to the university for big city experience.
Why they chose this property
If you want to be in the heart of a small fishing village and be able to walk to the store, to the beach, or drive to any number of attractions, this is a great home base. The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors are quiet and friendly, and you can do it all, or do nothing at all, and feel refreshed from your time in Trinidad.
What makes this property unique
This cottage has something to offer all year round with great views of the bay from the front room, a cozy wood stove, very comfortable accommodations, a nice yard to hang out in, and a handful of restaurants, wineries, art galleries, and a museum/library. The house is small and really geared for a couple although it can handle up to two adults and two kids under 12 if you are already accustomed to living in close quarters.
