Trinity River Adventure Inn's incredibly romantic "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. It's one of our 5 great river cabins that range all the way to the grand Alpen Glow, a 2BR/2BA A-frame starting @ $250/night to a 3BR/2BA cabin perfect for large fishing groups @ $165/night (multiple night discounts available). Check out our very cool web site (link below) for a lot more photos and details on all of our cabins.
Fish right outside your door; your fishing guide can pick you up at the cabin. We offer sit-on-top kayak lessons, guided trips and rentals, as well as raft rentals. You can paddle to your door!
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 half 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 Miner's is a one room cabin (plus bathroom) with a great loft. 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 already 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 tiny dining table with 2 stools and an antique oak straight back chair. It has a great hammock cot for use inside or out.
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.
Kitchen area includes coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, deep electric skillet and a dorm-sized refrigerator. Outside on the front porch, you'll find a very large cooler with a couple of frozen gallon water jugs for cooling. The bath room has a shower & toilet. Words really don't do the Miner's justice.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
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 of 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.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality during our stay at your Trinity River Adventure Inn!!! We had a very relaxing time while staying in your Miner's Cabin along the beautiful Trinity River. I felt pampered to say the least! I am e-mailing pictures of our Steelhead caught on the Trinity River. [Bonnie caught a huge steelhead which is on the home page of our web site.] We were so lucky as Jeff Parker, our guide, said it was a little too sunny and warm for the steelhead to really want to take a fly. Our Best To You,

THANK YOU for a wonderful location for our family reunion [all of the Steel Bridge cabins]. My favorite part of the trip was the kayaking – thanks for making this possible. We’ll sort through our pictures and send you some on the rope swing – it was the highlight of the location for the kids. I would definitely recommend this location to others – it was convenient, comfortable, well-equipped, and beautiful. THANKS AGAIN! Gayle Kuokka/Palo Alto, CA
