Fish right outside your door; this is one of the closest cabins to the Trinity on the entire river. Trinity River Adventure Inn's incredibly private and 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 (accessed by a wide, slanted, permanently installed ladder).
NEW 2011: We've installed a large parking lot that's perfect for drift boats and rafts.
Check out our extensive web site with video walk-throughs of all of our unique cabins by clicking on Links to More Information farther down this page after Rates and Calendar.
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 @ $275.00/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 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 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 and a straight back chair. There also is 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.
Kitchenette area includes 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.

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.

"Renting all four cabins [at our Steel Bridge location] was perfect. We had plenty of space and privacy at the same time, having the two kitchens helped as well, the patio was a perfect space to hang out, the river gorgeous, the fact we could have the dogs, the Alpen Glow kitchen really well stocked.....I could go on and on! The place was incredible, the rates reasonable, you two were gracious hosts. This was the best weekend-away I have planned so far, I think! We'd love to talk again about January, we have some more birthdays coming up, and would love to make this our summer retreat spot . What can I say, we had a blast!!! Thanks again."
