Emerald Forest Cabins
Amazing experience right outside of the Redwood Forrest park. You literally get to sleep surrounded by Redwoods! The town of Trinidad was beautiful less than a mile away and full of little restaurants and shops. The sunset on the coast was a must see and something we will never forget

The desk staff was great, friendly and welcoming. The room was better than expected, bed comfy, plenty of coffee/tea/creamers. A/c and heater worked well and was quiet. Shower was hot with great water pressure. Definitely would stay again!
