Whalesong House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Crafted of heart redwood, Whalesong House is a charming two-story home with a well-equipped, full kitchen, an adjacent dining area, and a living room with a wood stove. A designer’s delight, this rental is lavishly landscaped with an enclosed, rear garden brimming with rhododendrons, climbing roses, hydrangeas, camellias, and other perennials. Designed by one of the owners, the three-foot spherical fountain, Global Peace, which punctuates the dozens of heathers, lavenders, and ornamental grasses in the front garden, has become a Trinidad landmark. And Byrd Baker, the “old-timer” from Mendocino, who, in his small skiff, once blocked a Japanese whaling ship, carved the driftwood whale insignia, which hangs at the apex of the face of the house. Guests of this rental will also enjoy the view from the furnished balcony, the gas grill, and the private hot tub, perfect for soothing both body and soul.

What's nearby:
This rental is located right in the heart of town making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, galleries, and museums.

Don't use Vacasa, rent from independent owners.
I recommend reading Vacasa's rules very carefully, as they are very different from dealing with human property owners, who are generally more understanding and flexible. We gave notice that terrible inclement weather (torrential rains and dangerous flooding) too concerning for us to travel to the area, hoping not to risk life and limb -- and offered to move our trip to a later date. Vacasa was not interested in offering any flexibility. It's basically the Uber of vacation rental property managers, and their only priority is to take your money. Don't even think about trying to get anyone helpful on the phone, should anything go wrong.

Great views and location
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The ocean and restaurants were steps away. Plenty of Redwood hikes within a short drive.

Hidden treasure!
If you’re planning a family vacation to the Redwoods and trying to figure out where to stay, stop scrolling and book now! Whalesong and the whole town of Trinidad is a charming, walkable treasure! The views from the back deck are beautiful, and the garden in back is incredibly private. There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like about our stay here. We have two kids, a teen and a preteen, and they didn’t want to leave. It’s not fancy, but it has everything you need with nicely updated bathrooms (with excellent water pressure if you care about that), a nice family-friendly game collection, and every book you could ever want to read. Seriously, just book it!

Place was very nice, communication not great though
The cottage was great for our family including young-adult children. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was well-equipped and they layout was fantastic. We had one member who needed to do some work and there is a small upstairs "office" space and a desk in the laundry area that worked well for him. The upstairs deck was lovely, and the outside/backyard area was very pleasant. The location was fantastic - short walk to town or beach. Main downside was lack of communication both before the trip and during - you are dealing with a company rather than a single owner, and the instructions for getting in, communication in general was poor.
