Beautiful!
Alder Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our trip to hike in the Redwoods! The home was comfortable and had all we needed. We were serenaded by sea loins and the views of the ocean from the cottage are amazing!

Great Getaway
This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. The cottage is very clean, inviting and homey. The hot tub was really relaxing and we were lucky enough to see some stars on our last night. We will be back!

Awesome place to stay!
This cottage was beautiful! My gf and I stayed 3 nights here, and have zero complaints. Centrally located for redwood viewing and great dining, but still far enough away from the crowds. Great views! The hot tub was great!

Perfect place to stay. Bed was very comfortable, cabin was "just right". The only issue we had was the outside furniture had not been cleaned before our arrival. The inside was very clean and perfectly furnished.

Great location, beautiful view
You were able to see the ocean from the cottage. As you went to the overlook on the property you could see and hear the sea lions. The cottage was set up to meet all our needs while there, including meal preparation and eating.

absolutely wonderful!
This cute cottage is exactly as advertised! Perfect location with lots of forest and beach trails within a 1 hour drive. Very convenient short drive to Trinidad downtown with a grocery store and several options to grab a bite to eat. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Everything was wonderful. The cottage is perfect with amazing attention to detail in the design. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub could maybe use a drain, surface wash and refill but otherwise everything was great.

Very private, quiet & pleasant, but...
As some other reviewers noted... that couch is NOT comfortable for sitting, as the cushions slide forward. No reading lights in living room. (We moved one of the bedroom lamps there so we could read.) Bed was awfully SOFT. Nice newish Bosch dishwasher but no DW detergent? So we hand-washed everything with the green Palmolive dish soap. On the plus side, it was clean and well-maintained. Good appliances. Quiet, private, very pleasant little vacation home, overall. We'd probably stay there again but we'd bring our own reading lamps! And some teaspoons...

Perfect, except....
Although over the years we have stayed in close to forty VRBO properties, this was our first experience with a management company and I was somewhat apprehensive as I'm used to dealing directly with the owners. No need to worry. VACASA was terrific. They responded quickly to questions and came immediately when we had a small issue upon arrival. Due to the wildfires in the area creating poor air quality, we were relegated to staying indoor 24X7 the first four days of our week-long stay. Again, no problem, the cottage was immaculate, well appointed and we had lots of indoor activities to keep us busy (puzzles, art projects, reading, movies, etc.) The kitchen is beautiful and beautifully equipped. Great dishes, pots and pans, linens, etc., etc. So why are we giving a 4 rating instead of a 5....Two reasons. 1) My husband enjoys reading when he gets up in the morning and usually late in the evening. The lighting in this cottage is definitely NOT conducive to reading. VACASA did come and replace a burned out bulb for us, but the only lighting in the living/dining area is suspended from a very high ceiling so it doesn't help if one wishes to read. There are lots of windows so if it is a bright day, no problem, but that doesn't help with overcast days or early/late reading needs. Several other reviews have mentioned this shortcoming so the insufficient lighting needs to be seriously addressed. We had to bring the two large lamps from the bedroom into the living room each day so we could read and do art work. 2. The sofa looks great until one sits on it...then the bottom cushions immediately begin to move forward leaving you sitting in a cavity that is most uncomfortable. Putting a throw pillow in the cavity doesn't help...the cavity continues to grow so you are constantly having to stand up and push the cushions back into place, only to have them travel again. And just so you know the sofa is the only seating option for watching t.v. Time for a new sofa??? We loved the location and the charming cottage, and would like to re-book but we could not do so until we were assured these two items had been addressed.
