Douglas City Cabin | On the Trinity River, Fire Pit, Dogs OK, Privacy, Historic Miner's Cabin

2 Bedroom Cabin in Douglas City

The Miner's in one word: enchanting. It is a tiny jewel of a place located just a few feet from the Trinity River. It's pet-friendly, has world class but challenging fishing right outside your door and exquisite river and mountain views.
As soon as it was available, we upgraded to a fast and unlimited internet supplier (fall/2017).
The Miner's Landing is a fabulous river rock patio with a fire pit & BBQ grill right next to the river. What beats a fire and watching the stars in the night sky?
Occasionally we approve a fourth guest who can bring a sleeping bag and sleep on a (provided) sleeping pad, but this is a small cabin and best enjoyed by 2-3. Note: To access the sleeping loft you will need to climb a ladder (as seen in photos). If climbing a ladder will pose and issue, this may not be the best cabin for you.
Minimalist cooking facilities, but there is a sink, convection/toaster oven, microwave, deep electric skillet and Farberware single-cup coffee maker with coffee pods and creamers included. There is a cool clock with mood lighting and nature sounds; you can plug your phone or pad into it to stream music.
Some of our parties have brought cast iron cookware and cooked on the fire pit/BBQ or their own tabletop Weber down on the landing. We were invited to drop in on one of them and visited while he fried gorgeous potatoes in cast iron over an open fire. He patiently turned each herb-seasoned chunk as we caught up with their travels. They had just spent a month in Europe, mostly Paris and some of Italy, but were anxious to return to the Miner's beside the river.
BBQ on the landing, or bring a camp stove and cook on the landing (please not in cabin; we have limited emergency response resources up here and a fire could be devastating). We have gas and Weber BBQs up on the main patio between Alpen Glow & Carriage House.
There is cookware, dining ware and serving ware. Dorm-sized refrigerator has a separate freezer for that all-essential pint of Ben & Jerry's, plus we supply a huge cooler with frozen water jugs to keep it cool. The bathroom features a roomy shower with the toilet in it (like you see on some boats and in some trailers).
We are always upgrading our cabins. We paved the main drive and put in a large parking lot at the entrance that's great for boats and vehicles, but Miner's guests have their own parking close to the cabin. All of our Steel Bridge cabins have Wi-Fi and late 2017 saw a switch to a fast and unlimited carrier. Yippee!
Time to unplug and recharge? You really are going to love this place.

Summary: Great location, very nice spot by the river. We came during the winter so it was a bit gray but can totally see how nice it would be during the summer. The inside had a weird smell. The shower/bathroom is pretty rough, they both share the same 6x6 space on clay/concrete ground. Would recommend slippers for the shower. WiFi not great, would advise against trying to work from the cabin. It had a hard time just loading email. It’s not super comfortable if your goal is to hang out at the cabin all day, but it’s a nice spot for night time campfires and a good view.

Summary: This served our purpose for what we were in the area for, revisiting memories in Hayfork. Perhaps another time we will enjoy the cabin and the river more.

Summary: A very private and beautiful spot. Rustic but good base for hiking and fishing. Perfect for one person or two but no inside privacy if that’s important. No TV but WiFi is pretty good considering remote location. Overlooks Trinity River but not easy access if you want to get in. Not a place for folks with accessibility issues. Owner was quick to respond if needed!

Summary: Sorry to say this was very dumpy for the price. We are not luxury travelers - far from it. We don't mind simple lodgings, but we expect more. Here is what we found: Internet mostly non-existent. No cell service.Bedding very substandard with appearance of being old and overused. We wondered if blankets/spreads get washed after each use, which they should be. Flannel sheets are yucky.Lots of bugs, earwigs, things flying around.No glasses to drink from -- only plastic. NO proper bowls or eating plates . Everything in kitchen appears ancient, including ratty coffee maker and cheap, crummy utensils that we didn't even want to use, and pots/pans like they came from a college dorm clean-out at the end of the year. Furnishings and lamps (including wrong-fit lampshade -- all appear to be from 70s garage sale -- not efficient and generally dilapidated. Couch uncomfortable. Bathroom- like something from a 70s campground at best, and needs a sink separate from kitchen/food sink! Windowsills grimy and gritty. Rug also old and flat and has the vibe of never being washed -- why not just put in a new, clean wood floor, even one with faux wood.Table ridiculously small and utterly non-functional due to everything piled on it. Kitchenette counters also look decades old. Whole place has a feel of being barely surface-clean, substandard and for sure not worth the price. Needs a complete indoor remodel, new windows and new, more efficient furniture, shelving, applicances, kitchen ware, bedding.

Summary: This is just as it appears in the listing . So comfortable and peaceful , beautiful views of the trinity river. We were looking for a place to stay for a few nights on our trip around northern California (from the UK) and this was a perfect location to chill. Also a visit to Weaverville which had a lovely few places to eat and the museum and Joss house well worth visiting. Also the Lewiston hotel in Lewiston a good place to eat and enjoy a drink by the river . Good directions to find here also.

Summary: This property was a random find that turned out to be pretty amazing. Nothing in the description of the property is off base. Great little cabin right on the water with amazing evenings at the fire pit or cozy on the back porch listening to water and nature. There is road noise from 299, but hardly an issue. You can see the fish from the porch and can explore the surrounding small towns if the river doesn't keep you occupied. The only negative thing I would have for this cabin is the Bathroom. It is tight quarters shared with the shower, but I knew that going in. I would stay here again NO PROBLEM! The host answered any of my questions and I never saw anyone else while at the cabin. Close to civilization, but felt so remote!

Summary: As we were traveling between National Parks, we just needed a place to stay for one night. This fit the bill! It was tiny and comfortable and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the creek. The creek was too high for successful fishing but still a pretty spot! The bathroom needs an overall. The shower head continuously leaked and splashed the toilet due to its proximity, but hopefully that can easily be resolved. We loved the little loft bed too. Just so others are aware, the traffic noise level is high for a remote cabin due to the shape of the mountains. We didn’t mind and would stay here again! Thank you to our host!
