What guests think
Travellers describe View Crest Lodge as a peaceful cluster of standalone cabins near the Redwoods, offering clean, comfortable spaces with kitchens, ocean glimpses, and friendly service, well suited to quiet getaways and exploring nearby parks.
Many units are spacious, some include private hot tubs or jetted tubs, decks, and fireplaces, with practical touches like on-site laundry and a small DVD/game library. The location is convenient to Sue‑meg State Park and Trinidad, generally quiet with sea sounds, though dining nearby can be limited and closes early. Common downsides include a basic continental breakfast, spotty Wi‑Fi, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness oversights; there is no on‑site restaurant or daily room service. Expect relaxed, self‑sufficient cabin stays with helpful staff in a scenic, quiet setting.

We had a great stay at View Crest. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the ocean and the grounds are so pretty. The on-site laundry was a nice bonus and the convenience to the parks of Redwood was perfect.

The first night we were there, the power went out due a wind storm. The nearby generator kicked in around 4:00 am and was so loud we couldn't sleep. The office manager was very responsive to our request for a quieter cabin. He moved us to a very nice king cabin on top of the hill with a great view and a hot tub, no extra charge. I would definitely come back here.

Viewcrest was great! Individual cabins, very clean and well appointed. They are 'vintage' cabins with a lot of character, jetted tub, full kitchen, comfortable bed, gas fireplace... very comfortable and not a 'cookie-cutter' stay.

Spacious cabin in the Redwood forest with beautiful views. Cabin was clean, quiet, close enough to town for dinner, but remote enough to be just what we wanted. Thankful for the on-site laundry facilities. as we were muddy after hiking.

What an amazing place full of charm. Staff is friendly and the breakfast bag (oatmeal packets and bagels for us) was a nice touch. We had a huge deck that had a partial ocean view where you could hear the sea lions (not loud enough to be a bother at all) the bedding was so amazing I am looking up the pillows and sheets they used to buy them.

I had a beautifully refurbished cabin with kitchenette, large bathroom with dual head shower, and accommodations for four. (King Sized Bed and Queen sized couch bed). There was a deck and four deck chairs that overlooked a small section of ocean through the trees. I would return in a minute if I could. The breakfast items available for ordering the night before were totally sufficient in getting me going for the morning. IF I had wanted eggs and bacon, the facilities would have supported my cooking. All in all it was such a pleasant two night stay. I was facilitating a large memorial in the area and had not interest in shopping or other entertainment. The two TVs were over the top with a DVD library in the office. Thanks so much.

The unit was clean and updated, but there were bird droppings outside our kitchenette window and in a three-inch deep pile on the deck below the window. I pointed it out our first day to an employee and he agreed it was awful, but it was never removed. We couldn’t use the deck and had to keep the curtain closed so we wouldn’t have to look at the droppings on the windowsill. In general, the grounds aren’t kept up—weeds in the flower pots and yard. Also, breakfast has no fresh food except milk. No fruit.

We had a great experience and would stay here again. Our cabin was very spacious and we loved having the full kitchen and gas fireplace. The bedding was comfortable and the bathroom is large with double shower head. Counter space was also generous. We had initial concerns that it might be too far from the redwood parks we came to visit, but it worked out well and we appreciated being near to Trinidad where we could do grocery shopping at Murphy's (which was excellent) and catch dinner.

Ceiling fan in main bedroom was broken, no chairs and table on front porch, WiFi is spotty. Unit 8 is up front on road and beware of seals howling all night long. Took the extra large cabin just for my wife and I to have extra space… Paid a lot of money for one night only to be told they would bring chairs to front porch so we can enjoy wine and cheese on our 35th anniversary but they never brought any. When I told them about ceiling fan they said they would let maintenance know but that didn’t help us for our one evening. So slept with windows open to listen to the seals all night and the occasional cars driving by our window. Would not return to View Crest. Disappointed

This lodge was such a pleasant surprise. The cabin was clearly recently updated. It was cozy and comfortable. We only stayed 1 night, but it would be a great place for multiple nights. Only wish dogs were allowed, but it's not a deal breaker. Bed was a little hard, but again, not a deal breaker. There was a lot of room and a slight ocean view. It was raining when we stayed, but you can hear the ocean with the windows/door open and it would be great to be able to hang out on the patio. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful property in a beautiful area. We loved our stay and we were well taken care of by the staff. The property doesn't have some of the traditional services you may expect from a hotel (room service, cleaning, etc.) but the tradeoff is that the staff is non-intrusive, we were left alone for a peaceful stay.

We left two items of clothing behind accidentally and staff messaged and offered to send it to us which was amazing! Would definitely stay here again!

I was only there for one night, but it was very nice. The road south of it is a nightmare, so if traveling there from the South on 101, ignore your nav app, get off at the next exit, and enter from the North.

We had a great experience and would stay here again. Our cabin was very spacious and we loved having the full kitchen and gas fireplace. The bedding was comfortable and the bathroom is large with double shower head. Counter space was also generous. We had initial concerns that it might be too far from the redwood parks we came to visit, but it worked out well and we appreciated being near to Trinidad where we could do grocery shopping at Murphy's (which was excellent) and catch dinner.

very close to beautiful hiking trails, Sue Meg state park, and Trinidad state beach. Be prepared for limited cell service.

Upon arrival, a nice receptionist greeted us and informed us about breakfast and the property. We were staying in the cabin closest to the road, so parking was directly off of the road, but it also offered a view of the coast. The individual cabin was clean, spacious enough for two people, and cute. We had our own private balcony for an additional perk. Unfortunately, dinner options are extremely limited in this area, but Trinidad Eatery was a decent choice. Overall would recommend and stay again.

Loved how secluded and quiet it felt. It was a perfect spot to spend our day at the redwoods national park. Enjoyed the patio and being able to hear the ocean with the window open. Also free breakfast when traveling was a very nice touch. Quite affordable given the location. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was great

Wonderful place to stay! It’s right on the outskirts of Redwood National Park. We’ll definitely stay there again the next time we make it out that way.

beautiful quiet cottages. Breakfast included. Very close to the ocean but no direct access. Walk or drive 1.5 miles from cottages to Sue-meg park for great views, beach and hike access.

Dining
Continental breakfast delivered the evening before is appreciated but basic (bagels, oatmeal, juice), and some find it marginal or limited with little fresh food. There is no on-site restaurant; guests typically eat in nearby Trinidad where options can close early.

The property and location are great for exploring the area, 30 minutes to Prairie Creek State park, and only 5-10 minutes to Trinidad… Murray’s grocery store and our favorite restaurant “ the Eatery”. Very cute town. The cabin was spacious, spotless. Super comfy bed and linens Very quiet. Very safe. Two important things.. there is no restaurant on site. The will deliver items the evening before to your room, you order on a paper that day. Bagel, oatmeal, bars, no coffee pods, juice. Our cabin had a full kitchen with minimal pots and pans . Again, great restaurant only a few minutes away. Also very few toiletries. But overall we loved it and would highly recommend

Internet was almost nonexistent, frustrating; so no TV. Breakfast delivered was just instant oatmeal, bagel and a drink, not great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Cabin 1 was very clean and comfy.

This place is awesome!!! My wife and four kids (two teenagers) were on a road trip and stopped here for three nights. Out of the 6 hotels we stayed at on the trip, this was everyone's favorite. The beds are amazingly comfortable, and you have your choice of firm or hard pillows. As for entertainment, we had a blu-ray player and could rent blu-rays from the office for $1 as well as several board games. When we actually sat down for a family dinner one night, it just felt like we were all sitting at home, or at least a second home. I especially enjoyed hearing the sea lions and the ocean at night, which was just faint enough that it wasn't a problem with windows closed, but could still be heard if you wanted to hear them at night with the windows open. Breakfast was also fantastic and was delivered the night before with a smile. Not only would I definitely stay here again, but I would plan a trip just so I could stay here again.

I loved the park that was nearby, and we loved the staff who were super friendly. They recommended all the places we should go eat and when our tv wasnt working, they came right away to fix it. They also had a little breakfast that they bring each evening so we could eat it whenever we got up.

Loved these cabins! Such a cute setting amongst the trees with the ocean view across the road. Definitely would recommend to friends. The actual cabin had everything we needed, comfy bed, good water pressure in the shower and a complimentary choice of breakfast items delivered to our room.

What an amazing place full of charm. Staff is friendly and the breakfast bag (oatmeal packets and bagels for us) was a nice touch. We had a huge deck that had a partial ocean view where you could hear the sea lions (not loud enough to be a bother at all) the bedding was so amazing I am looking up the pillows and sheets they used to buy them.

Lovely big room. Nice front desk. Peaceful and beautiful gardens, a very cute unique experience to be able to feed the chickens and see the llama. The only con is no dining on site. But the town is close enough( be aware everything closes super early) Included breakfast was just ok.
