For spring 2013, we've put in a fantastic river rock patio between the Miner's and the river. There is a fire pit with BBQ grill (wood provided); Adirondack chairs; a stunning large serpentine rock that serves as a table; and room for the hammock cot!
The Miner's is a one room cabin (plus bathroom) with a great loft. It accommodates up to 3 guests, although we have made a few exceptions for 4. Additional guests over 2 are $15.75 each per night. Compared to camping, this is luxury. Compared to a luxury hotel, this is camping. Look at all of the pictures on this listing and you'll know if you're the kind of person who will love it.
The covered porch looks out on the very close river and has a small table and two chairs. The living area has a double rocker, an oak twin captain's bed/couch with drawers underneath, a small chest of drawers and an antique chest/table. It has a tiny dining table with 2 stools which can be rolled where you like, and a straight back chair. There also is a great hammock cot for use inside or out, plus chairs for sitting down by the river bank.
Fish right outside your door; this is one of the closest cabins to the Trinity on the entire river. The Miner's Cabin is just a few feet above the Trinity River. It was a real miner's cabin during the Gold Rush and has been lovingly restored and enhanced, because not too many miners had indoor plumbing, or a plush queen bed in the loft (accessed by a wide, slanted, permanently-installed ladder).
New for 2013: Portable swamp cooler to make our hot summers a lot easier to handle. We installed a large parking lot at the entrance to our property that's perfect for drift boats and rafts, and paved the main drive.
The Miner's is one of our 5 great, dog-friendly river cabins that range all the way from the grand Alpen Glow, a 3BR/2BA A-frame starting @ $285.00/night to a 3BR/2BA cabin perfect for large fishing groups @ $165/night (multiple night discounts available).
Michael Caranci of The Fly Shop in Redding says of our cabins:
'For sheer seclusion, access, and cozy, comfortable accommodations, the cabins at the Trinity River Adventure Inn are certainly among the best!'
On an acre and a quarter with three of our other cabins, the Miner's is situated in a grove of trees all by itself. It's romantic, private, unique beyond words and the views from each window are marvelous.
The decor is rich and rustic, with antiques and nice touches everywhere. There is a lighted fan, a faux wood stove heater that looks like the real thing but without the fire danger, and an electric baseboard heater. It has an ipod/MP3 docking station.
Kitchenette area includes a Keurig single-cup coffee maker with K-Cup coffees; a regular coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, deep electric skillet and a dorm-sized refrigerator. Outside on the covered porch, you'll find a very large cooler.
The bathroom has an all-in-one shower & toilet (the shower is to the side of the toilet & sprays over the toilet) . Guests at the Miner's have full use of the grounds, including the gas and Weber BBQ patio.
We offer sit-on-top kayak lessons & sales, guided trips and rentals, as well as raft rentals.

Cancellation policy:
You have rented the Miner's Cabin. If anyone in your party has health concerns we should know about, please explain here or write “None” __________ Number of guests: Number of beds: Number of dogs? ($15 each for any part of stay; $50 charge per dog not noted here and really frowned on). We welcome friendly dogs. See pet rules below. Each cabin is set up for the number of guests & beds you specify, up to the listed maximum. Additional guests may sleep on couches, air bed or pads and are $15.75 extra each per night including Trinity tax. We provide towels and sleeping pads or air bed if requested; please bring sleeping bags and pillows for additional guests. We have a 14 day cancellation policy except for major holidays. Reservations canceled before the 14 day period will receive a full refund. Reservations canceled within the 14 day period are subject to a 100% charge of the reservation cost unless the property is rented by someone else. Reservations for major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day), as well as reservations for all 3 main Steel Bridge cabins on the same dates, have a 30 day cancellation policy. Reservations canceled within the 30 day period are subject to a 100% charge of the reservation cost unless the property is rented by someone else. THE TOUGH LOVE, WE LEARNED THE HARD WAY CLAUSE: Most of our guests are great. Many have become friends over the years. and come back time and again, but the few bad ones take their toll. We can't say it plainer than this: We have nice, well-appointed cabins. We only want guests who respect and care for our property and its contents. If upon arrival you see anything amiss, tell us and we will fix it. Each cabin has cleaning materials. To avoid extra cleaning charges, cabins should be left much as you found them, with carpets needing vacuuming only (we charge for shampooing); tile and laminate floors with no excess dirt or debris; no animal hair on furniture; clean counter surfaces; clean refrigerator, stove, microwave & oven (wipe up spills as they happen); and clean dishes. There should be no stains on bedding or furniture. Flatware, cutlery, apparel for sale and other items are inventoried prior to guests' arrival. Registered Guest will be charged for missing or damaged items. Any damage to cabins, equipment or grounds is the responsibility of Registered Guest. Registered Guest agrees to pay Owners’ cost to replace any lost or damaged items, including shipping charges. No smoking is allowed inside lodging. Please be considerate of other guests if smoking outside and dispose of butts in outside garbage, not in planters or on ground (extreme fire hazard as well as messy). No open fires except on patio in BBQs. We're dog people; we welcome responsible guests with well-behaved dogs. We do not welcome problems. Pet Owners are responsible for their pets and agree to pick up their waste on the grounds and put it in the large garbage can in the trash area by the breezeway (Steel Bridge cabins) or the garbage cans by the garage (Sow's Ear). Please keep pets off furniture or bring blankets to cover it. Barking is frowned on; keep your pets with you or arrange to have someone watch them when you’re away. Aggressive dogs are not welcome. ANY pet accidents inside will require full treatment of floors, carpets and possibly furniture with enzyme solution, then steam cleaning. Fans and heaters often must be left on overnight to dry carpets, adding to the costs. It is all expensive and we charge for it. The minimum charge is $250; it goes up for larger areas and more problems. If the cabin is rented soon after your departure and can’t be inhabited because the carpets are still damp, you will be liable for any lost rental fees.
If you have any questions please contact the owner.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Steph Dutton is a world-renowned kayaker who paddled from Canada to Mexico, then paddled the Oregon coast again, in the winter. He also circumnavigated California's Channel Islands, often enduring thirty foot seas. Heidi Tiura owned and ran several businesses before running away to sea and working on tug boats in Alaska, Washington and Oregon. Steph and Heidi are both Coast Guard licensed masters, and creators of Sanctuary Cruises on the Monterey Bay. They have been featured in numerous books and documentaries for their work with whales (including National Geographic's 'Whale Attack,' which was based on their Mother's Day 2004 whale watching cruise). Now, they live on the upper Trinity River and their kayak adventures are of a tamer sort. When not rafting or kayaking with their guests, they can usually be found on their motorcycles, because Trinity County has the best roads for riding bikes.
Why the Owner Chose Douglas City:
Trinity County has the unbeatable combination of great natural beauty, incredible recreation opportunities, and it hasn't been overrun by tourists. People who have come here for twenty years remark at how little has changed. It is a spectacular place to explore.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Being on the river has to be one of the most relaxing things there is up here. Whether you fish, paddle, want to try the rope swing into the swimming hole, or just sit and watch the fish swim by, it is a wonderful escape to have a cabin right on the water.
