After time spent traveling - in Hawaii, Central America and Southeast Asia - we decided to make a home for ourselves in the Pacific Northwest. We looked for over a year for the perfect place, and first came across this property - one drafty farmhouse, a dilapidated outbuilding an an ancient barn - and immediately knew this was where we were meant to be. We call this rustic homestead "Bueno Mana" - as in, "The Good Source/Good Life". A place to come and re-acquaint yourself with what that truly means. Situated an easy 4 miles from the nearby charming seaside town of Trinidad, and 1.5 miles away from popular Moonstone Beach, this space offers privacy, access to Nature, and a wee respite from the busy outside world. While you're here, enjoy a walk through the private loop trail or jaunt down to the beach, less than 2 miles away. Enjoy a bespoke picnic underneath the apple trees, or lay a round of disc golf on our 18-hole course onsite. At night, roast some s'mores or sip some local wine or beer by the outdoor firepit. Or take a dip in the shared hot tub with with some world class stargazing time. Easy access to world-famous hikes through the redwoods, and several miles of pristine coastal access. Guests will stay in the renovated barn, with two queen beds, a cozy outdoor sunroom, and lots of books and records on hand to enhance your stay. Inside is everything you will need for a thoroughly pampered "camping" experience: full-size fridge, electric range, microwave, coffee maker, tv and turntable, and wi-fi, plus a wood-burning stove to keep you warm while you're here. Keep to yourself and enjoy the quiet, or feel free to lounge in one of the comfy outdoor common areas and meet one of your fellow travelers staying in one of the 3 total guest spaces onsite. Your hosts - owners Amy & Ed - are on hand, as well, should you need a little extra firewood or some recommendations on the best place to launch your kayak, grab a beer, or watch a glorious sunset. Come get a taste of the good life. We welcome you.

Looking for a friendly basecamp? Sylvan Harbor is a family owned and operated camp that offers RV and tent sites, cabins and vintage campers. The camp is basic and functional. Most sites are narrow, offer no privacy, and are challenging to park in. Lodging options are rustic, cozy, and clean, and are also surrounded by RVs during the summer. The perimeter of the park is lined with tall trees. Travelers of all types are welcome year-round, and we cater to fisherman staying monthly in the summer. Thanks for considering our camp!

The Fairy Forest is 4 acres of redwood trees one mile from the magical city of Trinidad, CA. People have been camping in our meadow since the 1950's, and I'm happy to carry on the tradition, by opening it up to you. There was a fire on the property in 1901 which left the burnt out hollow stumps which you'll see by the shower. There's one old growth redwood on the property, behind the glampy tent, but everything else in roughly 120 years old. Every year we try to make your glamping experience better and better. This year, we've added an artisan picnic table, built on site, and some solar lights leading to the shower. Outdoor sink and cook space is next on our list! There used to be two campsites on our property, but we closed down one of them to give guests in the glampy tent exclusive usage of the outdoor shower and porta potty. We are also renting out our cabin this year, which has been our home for the last 3 years. There's 10 local beaches to explore in the area, great little restaurants and businesses, and countless trails- including Strawberry Rock, which is right down the street from us. We're 19 miles away from Orick, which is the gateway to Fern Canyon (make a reservation in advance) and all the trails with old growth redwoods. And we're 16 miles from Arcata, a vibrant, colorful and creative city that is home to the first farmer's market in California, which is quite the experience if you find yourself here on a Saturday. Hope you come and stay with us if you find yourself on the Lost Coast.

This property is nestled in a little valley one ridge over from the Mad River which flows to the ocean 5 miles away as the crow flies. Warmer in the summer and just beyond the fog belt we can have 80 degrees in the summer while the coast is in the 60's. A bit colder in the winter than the coast, we have been known to have a dusting or a couple inches of snow (although it never sticks around). The beginnings of Warren creek form the eastern boundary to the property where salmonids have been tracked by Fish and Game. A year round spring feeds a pond which then feeds another creek on the west side of the property. Besides field and meadow there is lush forest with a variety of trees including: Cascara, Willow, Alder, Redwood, Cedar, Maple, Spruce and Fir. This land was the home of one of the richest race car drivers in the area who legend says had regular shoot outs with the police! Since then the land has been cleansed, blessed and used for many sacred gatherings, weddings and ceremonies and was home to a moonlodge-TreeWoman for several years. There we had regular new moon gatherings for local women. It is an honor and privilege to share this space with you. Learn more about this land: Enjoy your own private meadow cabin at the end of the lane, just a minute walk from the communal parking area. Rustic yet comfy, leave your TV behind and cozy up next to your campfire; savor morning coffee with the resident deer and towering Redwoods. Bike down scenic West End Road to Blue Lake and the Mad River. Make a stop at the local brewery after a stroll on the river trail. It is an easy 15 minute drive to the nearest beaches with hiking and biking trails nearby. In the winter, take a 40 minute drive to Horse mountain where you can cross country ski with a distant view of the ocean. This land is sacred to us and has been the site of multiple spiritual ceremonies, workshops and seasonal gatherings, including wedding celebrations. You may see us working around the land occasionally as we live in the main house also on the property. This is not a perfectly groomed lawn type of area. We do mow paths and sitting spaces but the ground can be uneven at times and much growth is kept natural for wildlife habitat. As stewards of this property, we value the wildlife safety and honor the presence of all creatures with minimal disruption. Wildlife that have visited include but not limited to: deer, fox, bear, skunk, opossum, mountain lion, owls and hawks. You may hear our ducks on occasion but fear not, they are trained not to attack! Our two cats may come to inspect visitors and may decide to join you for morning coffee in your covered outdoor lounging area. The Meadow cabin was originally built to house our extensive water filtration system, then expanded as a horse shelter and garden space as well as a honey processing house. We affectionately call it our "Honey House". On several occasions it was the site of regular African initiation medicine journeys. The fire pit in front of the cabin was created as a sacred fire spot. We strive for organic chemical free living as much as possible. Soaps, shampoos, and cleaning supplies are provided. If you bring your own please be conscientious. Please no highly scented perfumes or lotions. There is an infrared sauna on site as well, convenient to your shower and tub. Directions for use are in the informational binder. The indoor studio style living space is shoes off so bring some clean indoor shoes/slippers to wear if desired. Heating is by a small electric fireplace/stove. There is a queen size bed and a single overhead bunk (max 250lbs). Kitchen amenities include a hotplate, toaster/bake oven, electric tea kettle and skillet and a kitchen sink as well as a large refrigerator. This is a solar powered household with filtered well water. Hot water outdoor shower, tub and custom made pooper. Our home made compost toilet is simple to use. Preferably solids only (feel free to pee in the field) after which a scoop of cedar shavings is dumped on top. Cell phone service may be spotty. Just beyond the fire pit is often better reception. Please drive slow on the 1/3 mile long gravel drive to get to our sanctuary at the end of the lane. Our country lane is perfect for a stroll under the stars. At times you can even hear the roar of the ocean approximately 5 miles to the west as the crow flies. It is very dark at night with no street lights or bright porch lights so make sure you bring a flashlight. We do have neighbors and you may hear others doing yardwork, calling for their animals or the sound of chickens, occasionally dogs This space is a peaceful retreat but please do not expect complete silence all the time. We have lived here for over 35 years and have experience on the rivers, oceans and trails and are happy to share information on where to go and what to see if so desired.

Humboldt hideaway is a small intimate SHARED space with residents. The outdoor kitchen, deck with a view, and campfire ring are all connected to the main resident house. There are places of seclusion, but much of it is shared outdoor space. Humboldt Hideaway is a small off-the-grid LGBTQ+ queer land project in Northern California. It is set on 12 acres of hilly terrain in the mixed fir and oak woods of Humboldt County, a half-hour east of Arcata. Back in 2001, when it was established, it was undeveloped with nothing on it. It has since been built up with the scrappy efforts of amateur creative dreamers. It is a home and resource to extended LGBTQ+ communities by being a small-scale rural resource for learning and sharing useful rural living skills and being a destination for visits, artist and activist retreats, and host to small groups and events. Anyone is welcome at Humboldt Hideaway, but please understand that it is an intentional place committed to anti-oppression values. It is important that it remain a safer space for people identifying as queer and/or transgender, as well as a supportive space for women and people of color to freely be. Please make sure you do not anticipate any concerns/problems with this. NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: The property is conveniently located midway between the coast/redwoods and the Trinity River/Trinity Alps backpacking. It is a 45 minute drive to the coast of Trinidad, which has some of the most lovely coves and beaches and Patrick's Point State Park. It is a half hour drive to the coastal Ma-le'l dunes. And it is a half hour drive inland to swimming holes on the Trinity River. OFF-THE-GRID: The place is off-the-grid, no internet, only limited solar power, an on-demand propane water heater, and heated by woodstoves. Structures are a combination of natural building, salvaged, and new materials, with a mix of low-tech alternative technologies- all built with lots of love and help from friends. BOOKING A GROUP: There is potentially both cabin space and camping spots. The property can accommodate a group of up to 10 people. If you wish to book a group, please get in touch and we'll have you book all of the spaces- including some that are not currently listed, as they are in the shared lodge space. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY: There is a guest room in the shared lodge space if you want to have a wheelchair accessible room. The lodge has a ramp for accessible entrance. This room is not listed, but get in touch if you want to book it.

My aunt and uncle bought the property in 1947 from its first European settler, Paolo Gabrielli, who immigrated in early 1914 from northern Italy with slips of his grapevine in the lining of his coat. (The grapevine still grows over the back deck.) What can you expect? Quiet, beauty, birdsong, ocean roar, widely spaced campsites (only 5 on the 5 acres set aside for camping). Free firewood, local tips on travel and where to hike or what to visit. Or total solitude. Bring your (most non-cattle-chasing breeds) dogs if you wish (males must be neutered). Starlink internet. Walk to the beach of our wild ocean along a no-shoulder country road. We have no visible neighbors, no ambient light or sound. The air is clean and clear and the water is potable from an artesian spring on the property. No electricity at the sites and no generators allowed. (Charge your electronics at the farmhouse.) We offer homemade soup, cobbler, fresh bread, morning coffee as extras; you can order with the booking. The Victorian village of Ferndale is three miles east, as is a beautifully maintained 110-acre town wilderness with hiking trails called Russ Park. A 150-year-old cemetery slopes down a hillside & is filled with 19th century charm and history. Shops and restaurants welcome visitors. There are several bars/a wine bar/and a historic saloon that's as old boy as it was in 1890. A music venue in a restored 19th century church has amazing acoustics and attracts international talent as a top-notch venue (sessions are filmed for PBS) midway between Portland and San Francisco. So, it's a mix of town and country, village and farm, wilderness and bewilderedness. Safe, safe, safe, meaning: you can leave your belongings in your site and when you come back... they're still there :) One caveat: please arrive before dark. There is no electricity in the campgrounds, and no generators are allowed. You will not be able to reach (or maybe even locate) your site without disturbing others. This is a place of beauty, love, and laughter; we welcome the world.

The Tower is hidden away on top of a hill in the Mattole Valley, a steep 500-foot switchback hike through Douglas firs on a trail built especially to reach it. It is set within its own hilltop meadow. The property is about 2 acres all in all, with the main house just down below at the bottom of the trail where I live. Enjoy total seclusion and privacy in this unusual Lost Coast hideaway. Accessible only by a STEEP 500-ft trail, you must be fairly fit to appreciate this remote spot. The climb will take you to a two-storey 'tower' built around two water tanks. The Mattole River is just over the road below. Enjoy the spectacular bird life. The remote Mattole Beach is just six miles away and makes for great hiking and beachcombing. **Important Check-in info** The Tower is a property that preferably needs a guide to show you up there initially. It is hidden, and you’ll benefit from a quick orientation up there. Check-in before dark, please, due to the trail. The upper storey of the Tower has a double sized bed,and comfy. Line-dried fresh-smelling bedding. This room also has a long sofa, Deco chairs, redwood window seats and a long cherrywood table. There is also a sink upstairs for easy teeth brushing etc. The Tower is on two floors, connected by an outside staircase. So *PLEASE NOTE* that as the bathroom is on the lower floor you will need to go down the *outside* stairs to the bathroom. Downstairs is the bathroom, shower and kitchen in one open plan room. The lower storey also houses water tanks, wrapped in canvas painted by a local artist. The spring water is excellent for drinking. Relax beneath the stars in the outdoor in-ground copper bath tub, with plenty of space for two and a small surrounding deck for glasses of wine, or take a hot shower outside, looking out onto the hills. Enjoy ceramicist Jim Danisch's sculptures punctuating the trail. In collaboration with Petrolia's craftspeople, the Tower was designed by my father, a writer and lover of art. For groceries, the local Petrolia store has most basics (including a gas pump) but its provisions are limited so please bring your own special groceries if you want more than basic. Please note there are ZERO bars and restaurants in Petrolia. Bear in mind that the Petrolia Store closes at 5pm, so be sure to bring groceries with you if you're arriving later than that, especially for that first night's dinner! To enable a real break and total relaxation, there is no WiFi! There is very limited cell service in Petrolia. There is a landline available for your private use in the Tower. Petrolia is off the beaten track and lies at the end of a very winding, rugged road with potholes a-plenty. Ordinary cars can make it, but if you are hiring a car you will be better off hiring an all wheel car that is not too low off the ground. Be prepared for a real rural retreat. The tower is right in the wilderness atop a hill, so be prepared to hear and see animals around. Please note that I have been hosting on another platform for many years with lots of happy guests. Please google The Lost Coast Tower to see those reviews, to get a sense of the place from a guest's perspective . Thank you!

The Fallen Elm Treehouse

20. The Fallen Elm Treehouse

10mi from Little River State Beach · 1 site

The 100-year-old tree was once the main support for the treehouse. Over time, it leaned away and gradually fell to the ground, where it now rests quite contentedly in the alley, still producing its familiar crown like some extraordinary backyard plant—very much alive and enjoying its old age, much like me. I rebuilt the treehouse with a new support system that doesn't rely on trees, while keeping it nestled among them, because that's where it belongs and where it has always fit in so well. I placed a cot on the upper level of the treehouse for the solo traveler who enjoys a more rustic accommodation while exploring the wonderful town of Arcata. All you need is a sleeping bag and the ability to climb a vertical ladder to reach the cot, where you'll sleep 8 feet above the ground, surrounded by nature. The remaining amenities are on the ground level, including a place to wash up in the morning, a hot shower if desired, a nearby WC, and a relaxing spot in the beautifully landscaped backyard before heading out to explore downtown Arcata, with its many coffee shops and restaurants, or taking a walk through Arcata Redwood Park. Both are just a 15-minute walk away.

Weekend Trip to Eureka HipGlamp

We absolutely loved our stay in the yurt! There were so many thoughtful little touches that made it feel relaxing, comfortable, and really well cared for. The house and bathroom where we showered were absolutely immaculate, and there was everything and I mean everything we could possibly need or want. Henry even had coffee and pastries out for us in the mornings, which was such a sweet and unexpected touch. And somehow, despite all of his hospitality, we never actually met him! 😂 He remains our mystery host which honestly made us laugh because everything just magically appeared while we had complete privacy. The whole property felt peaceful, welcoming, and incredibly clean. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making guests comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you, Henry!

Peaceful quiet location, yet near to fantastic beaches, and towns for shopping, farmer’s markets, and events. The land is a work in progress, in the early stage. The view in front of the trailer and around the property is forest. The trailer is a smallish vintage Airstream, with a cute Gypsy Boho vibe inside. Old surfaces def not on the clean side, if you need that. Lots of storage as trailers are good at optimizing space. The power is battery and solar, with propane for heat and stovetop cooking. On demand hot water. I was able to create a comfortable atmosphere for myself while there. And the host Micah is awesome, and very responsive if you need anything.

3 nights at Bueno Mana Homestead

We absolutely adored this place! It felt like our home away from home with all the comforts and personal touches in this lovely abode. We originally planned to camp for this trip, but we're so glad we stayed here instead. Our only regret was that we didn't spend much of our time there since we were exploring the area- I would go back just to spend a few days hanging out at The Barn though! The property was super neat, hosts were great, & their resident dog Juniper was such a cutie pie. 10/10 would recommend staying here if you're in the area to explore the redwoods and the coast. The town of Trinidad was so wonderful & had great food & people. Thank you Amy & family for the great stay!

2 nights at Bayside Cabin

Perfect in every way. It felt private and tucked away in the woods but not remote.

Weekend Trip to The Fairy Forest

Unsure what to expect when booking and arriving. Not as secluded as I envisioned but very nice! The “tent” itself was spacious, very comfortable and really quiet. It fit 4 people easily with 2 of us in the bed (which was so cozy) and 2 on sleeping pads/sleeping bags on the floor. Having a small heater and dehumidifier was an incredibly nice touch. Although we didn’t really need the heater, it was a welcomed addition in the morning. The outdoor shower was great. Only complaint about any of it was the lack of any towels or proper place to store clothing/toiletry bag/items. Would have been helpful to know we needed to bring our own towels! So many banana slugs around too! I recommend sticking to the paths and still watching where you step! Great experience all in all. Would recommend and stay again.

Weekend Trip to Radio Ranch Camp

We stayed in their newest addition the Crowley Cabin and it was a delight! Super cozy bed and pillows, we used the heater because it was a bit chilly at night and slept like babies, felt so cozy, safe, and held in the beautiful nature of the land. They put a lot of thought and care into the property, from supplying mouthwash in the bathroom area to all the kitchen supplies for guests to cook, the property was clean, beautiful well thought out and curated to create an atmosphere of relaxation and rejuvenation! We didn’t utilize the clawfoot tubs, but plan on going back and giving ourselves more time to kick back and relax. Highly recommend. We got lucky and there were only one other abode occupied, so it felt like we had it all to ourselves, but I can see how it would be cool to have the whole village filled with happy people enjoying their vacation! It would be so cool to book it all out with friends and family. Can’t wait to go back after the rains come and fill up the creek and waterfalls again, but to be clear Radio Ranch did not disappoint, and I will definitely be going back!

Weekend Trip to Eureka HipGlamp

Henry has clearly thought of everything to make your stay super comfortable. Everything is exceptionally clean, clearly labeled where needed, and well appointed with amenities and comforts. I especially loved the towel warmer in the bathroom! The bed was comfortable, neighborhood quiet, and we even saw a huge buck as we pulled onto Henry’s street. Great stay!

2 nights at Bayside Cabin

Loved this place on their little homestead! Accurate photos of this lovely private cabin with mostly windows on three of the walls. Little wood stove to be toasty warm on cool evenings. Functional outdoor kitchen with lots of banana slugs to keep you company. 😆 Outdoor FLUSH toilet, and outdoor hot shower. Fantastic location with great cafès and nature very nearby, and close to Arcata town center. Totally in my element. Love this area!
