We’ve stayed in many homes throughout Trinidad and this one was the GOAT for our family of 4. Tucked away just enough to feel private yet set in the center of all the town action. The double open doors paired with the view (& wood burning stove!) makes this place so special. Thanks Steve!

Very nice. Thank you!

A lovely well equipped cottage on a beautiful stretch of the Northern California coast. Walk to the beach and hiking trails and access to stunning State and National parks. Responsive hosts! Would definitely stay again!

This cottage makes me feel like I’m home because of all the wonderful household and kitchen amenities. I lacked for nothing. Have morning coffee on the porch, enjoy the view of Trinidad Bay, then walk to town …visit the galleries and shops! Our wonderful hosts provided everything we could possibly need!

Great place to stay.

They’ve thought of everything, and it’s very comfortable and relaxing location. Highly recommended for a low key getaway vacation.

Our stay in Trinidad was great and we found nothing to fault about location, comfort or charm of Pilot Rock Cottage. Location: walking distance to beaches, restaurants and shops. A sea view from the property. Safe off road parking. Quiet and attractive neighbourhood. Comfort: very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and all the practicalities covered (washer/dryer and bathroom facilities both good) Charm: a gorgeous setting with a lovely deck and garden where you can while away the warmer hours watching the birds or gazing at the sea view. We had one minor issue with our check in but it was very quickly resolved by Steve. This was a great base for local days out in Trinidad but also an easy drive up to the Redwoods. Great stay and if ever back we wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.

Wonderful space in Trinidad. Small sea town that is close to bigger cities south and the Red Wood forests north. Host was helpful and insightful with places to go and things to do.

This place was great for two people looking to spend time in a centrally located location on the coast. Walking distance to tasty food and the beach as well as hikes. We loved staying here and would definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. It had all we needed to be at home. Wood-burning fireplace was a treat for us Floridians! Location was perfect and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Trinidad is such a quaint town. Nearby forests and parks was just what we were looking for. The cabin had the best guest house book I’ve ever seen. Wish they were all that good. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful time in this peaceful beautiful community. The vacation rental is as described and close to many outdoor activities. It is a perfect place to stay.

Great quaint and cozy place . Was up there to see our daughter graduate! Did not get to spend a lot of time in the cottage but it was so cozy when we were there. Nicely decorated and just had a comfortable feeling right away ! Thx ! We will be back again and next time be able to spend some time really enjoying the space ! Thx!

The photos and descriptions don't do this place justice. Phenomenal location, views, and stay. I should have stayed longer but I will be back for sure.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Actually, we would. My husband and I stayed at Pilot Rock Cottage for a quick weekend getaway for our 10th anniversary. It was PERFECT! Super clean and adorable cottage with a wood stove for cozy evenings. The absolute best location in Trinidad also. We parked our car and never took it out again until we left. We hiked to Elk Head, took the hike up Trinidad Head, walked along the beach, and walked to restaurants and the grocery store. We highly recommend this place. Very reasonably priced and no hidden extra fees. Thank you! We will be back! Loretta and John

Great location for exploring Trinidad and the access the Redwood National and State Park. Hosts were great and helped fix a scheduling error on my part.

The cottage had everything I needed with a beautiful ocean view. The location is the best. The beach and restaurants are within walking distance and exploring further up north is a short drive away. Steve and Jen were very welcoming and responsive. Highly recommend staying at Pilot Rock Cottage!

Thank you for providing such a beautiful place. It made our 50th anniversary celebration perfect.

My husband and I have enjoyed our wonderful Cottage by the Sea My favorite part is Coffee on the Porch with the waves falling softly on the beach along with sweet little birds seranading us ❤️❤️❤️🌊☕️

We've rented this property at least a half dozen times and still love it there! It's cozy, and has a perfect location. Property owners are awesome!

Very clean and well stocked, no disappointments. Great fireplace and view , would definitely recommend and come back again and again. Thanks again for a wonderful visit

Comfortable and cozy. Very quiet. Nice neighborhood and beautiful view of the ocean.

House is an excellent location within a block from restaurants, art gallery, hiking trails, quick walk to multiple beaches and the Head. We would definitely stay again.

Loved the weather. Cool foggy then the sun shines later in day.

Wonderful two days on the coast! Cottage was everything we hoped for.

This is a great cottage in the town of Trinidad. It is close to restaurants and the beach, and a great starting point to explore the Redwoods. It is clean and comfortable, and we would not hesitate to go back.

Lovely and comfortable in every way. All the amenities of home and then some. Even a very sociable kitty to complete the picture! The first day was ruined, however by the early arrival of a construction crew that pounded and drilled on the building all day long. Had we been told ahead of time, we would have delayed our trip for a day and requested a refund for that wasted day .

Wonderful return trip to THE PILOT ROCK COTTAGE

Simple, clean, quiet, central to everything, very very pleasant! I will definitely be coming back!

Owners are super friendly.

We have stayed in a lot of places around the Coastal areas and this is one of the best. A very clean and inviting cottage with everything we needed. We hiked over 35 miles of the Redwoods, explored Eureka and went to almost all the surrounding beaches on our short 3 day stay. Having a place to come back to each evening was wonderful and so cozy. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

Owners are super friendly.
