Cottage-style lodge on the Northern California coast, 5 minutes from Agate Beach
Accommodations
Each cottage at View Crest Lodge is an individual unit offering more privacy than a standard hotel. Select cottages come with a fully-equipped kitchen, including a full-sized refrigerator, stove, and oven for home-style meal preparation. Some cottages also feature a private hot tub in a separate enclosed room and a gas fireplace for cooler coastal evenings.
Amenities
A guest launderette is available on-site, allowing travelers to wash clothes during extended stays. The property has a barbecue gazebo and picnic area with ocean views where guests can cook and eat outdoors. Complimentary breakfast items such as bagels, oatmeal, and granola bars are ordered the evening before and delivered to each cottage.
Location
View Crest Lodge is less than 5 minutes' drive from Agate Beach and a short drive to Patrick's Point State Park. Redwood National and State Parks, including Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, are within 30 minutes of the lodge. The town of Trinidad, with its grocery store and restaurants like The Eatery, is a 5- to 10-minute drive away.
Dining
No restaurant operates on-site, so guests prepare their own meals in their cottage kitchens. Each morning a continental breakfast is prepared from items left in the room the night before; options include bagels, cream cheese, milk, juice, and oatmeal packets. For other meals, guests can shop at Murray's grocery store in Trinidad or dine at nearby restaurants such as Lighthouse Grill.
Family-Friendly Features
The lodge offers family-sized cottages with two separate bedrooms and full kitchens for cooking family meals. Board games and DVDs are available at the front desk for guests to borrow at no extra charge. The large grassy picnic area and the sounds of sea lions from the nearby cliffs provide entertainment for children without needing to leave the property.
