Luffenholtz Surfside Cabin~Romantic Hot Tub

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. This home IS pet friendly for 1 dog only with a pet fee. Dog must not be left unattended inside or outside of the home.

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.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a spa tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Breathtaking views!
Adorable little rustic cottage with big windows all around to take in the views. Hosts were extremely responsive to our inquiries. The landscaping was just gorgeous!! The shower is literally the size of a telephone booth, but other than that we loved everything about our stay. Close proximity to so many trails through the redwoods as well as beaches allowed us to hike nearly every day, which our dogs loved. We recommend the Seascape Restaurant and the seafood salad at Murphy's!

Getaway to the Lost Coast
This property and experience far exceeded our expectations. You cannot beat the location or view - the property is beautiful; the hosts reached out prior to our stay to communicate an issue with the propane - would mean no hot water / no cooking the first night. They offered to put us up at another property, but given the heat/ac still worked as did the microwave - we opted to stay. Could not ask for better hosts or hospitality. Property grounds are beautiful; the small cottage has everything we needed --- including a stunning view! We are already looking to plan our next trip.

Our stay at the Luffenholtz cabin
This was our 2nd stay at the cabin and it was just as enjoyable as the first time! The cabin has everything you need and is so darling and comfortable! And then there are the views which go on forever and never get old! If this is someone’s first time to the beautiful town of Trinidad I would highly recommend the Luffenholtz cabin! You’ll be close to everything yet the cabin feels very private, it’s the perfect getaway!

Small, romantic & wow, what a view!
Beautiful, clean, small house with incredible ocean views. Kitchen is small but adequate - perhaps could use better lighting. Lots of spices but no cooking oil provided. Inconvenient, but the market is only a 7-8 min drive. (Great local seafood). Local beaches & viewpoints just a few minutes away. Also the walk around Patrick Head highly recommended. More great ocean views (plus we saw a whale). Bathroom shower also small but adequate, & bathroom could also use better lighting. Did not use/stay in the newer addition with the half bath, but looks quite nice. The view is the star of the show. Rained lots while we were there - but didn't take away from our enjoyment. Would have loved to spend time lounging on the deck: I can only imagine how nice that is when the sun shines. Very romantic, albeit somewhat quirky due to the size. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Wonderful property
We loved our stay in this cabin! Check-in was easy and seamless. The property was clean and we felt safe the entire time we were there (3 nights over MLK weekend). It was warm and cozy and a perfect location for exploring the beach. Driving around to hiking spots was not difficult either. I loved having my morning coffees on the deck overlooking the beach! We will definitely be adding this to the list of future places to stay when we visit Humboldt.

Loved it
The place is intimate, cozy and amazing. Clearly they tried to make sure we had everything we needed, including up-to-date spices, a great kitchen, etc. The view is tremendous. My only constructive comment would be to have a floor lamp somewhere in the living room as at night, reading is difficult unless you are in bed. Thank you and we hope to come again.

Charming cottage on the ocean
My husband and I had a wonderful 5 days at the Luffenholtz Surfside Cottage! It was a darling little place, perfect for a couple. It had everything you would need for a relaxing getaway! The view of the ocean was unbelievable, nicer even then the pics show. Plus it had a wraparound deck and wraparound windows so you had a view from every part of the cottage and property. It was very private, only other house was quite a ways away and you could barely see it. There was a road right below but there wasn’t much traffic on It and you couldn’t even see it because of a high hedge hiding it. So really the only sounds you heard were the sounds of the ocean and birds, so relaxing! There are some little bunnies living in the hedge, they would come out during the day to eat the grass and sun themselves, very cute! The town of Trinidad was very close by and easy to get to. They had some nice restaurants, a grocery store and a couple of touristy shops that sold some very nice jewelry, wind chimes and other items. We had a wonderful time and hope to return someday!

We were completely blown away by this place. The view, the sound of the waves, the deck, the binoculars - it’s such a dream come true. It was really cozy and well appointed. It’s so picturesque - we mostly admired the views. Morning banana slug deck baths were very nice 10/10! Couldn’t have loved it more.

Incredible stay
The photos don’t do the location justice. We were blown away by how private and perfectly situated the cabin was in relationship to beach access, panoramic views, and food access (5 min drive). The cabin had everything we needed and felt inviting with all the details. We loved how thoughtfully cultivated the grounds were as well. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Almost like heaven on Earth!
We first stayed here about three and a half years ago during one of the Pg&E “power shutoffs” that fall. We were able to use the outdoor tub once the first night before the power went away, but it was still a great trip — and left us determined to come back when the lights would be on for the whole trip. So glad we did! The cabin, view and outdoor door are more than worth it, but the immaculate outdoor grounds take it to another level. It’s very private yet you’re only a 5-minute drive from Murphy’s Market, which will have anything you need and then some. I can’t think of a better place for a relaxing getaway that never disappoints.

Spent our Thanksgiving here and it was absolutely amazing. We did find 2 black widows in the bathroom- we let the owners now so hopefully they do their best to get rid of them. Other than that the house is perfect for a small couple like ourselves just 2 ppl n their fur baby. The outdoor tub is a must use if you visit this spot.
