An artists/writers retreat, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Bay, in Trinidad, California, designed for peaceful contemplation and creative inspiration. Located just minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Redwood National Park, the home accomodates six adults in luxurious comfort and convenience with the ocean bluff literally steps from your door. Crafted of heart redwood in 1971, WHALESoNG HOUSE is a charming two-story home with three spacious bedrooms and two complete bathrooms, a fully-appointed gourmet chef’s kitchen with an adjacent dining area and literary study and library, a cozy living room with a brick-surrounded, woodstove fireplace, a comfortable media room, upper and lower decks overlooking the ocean and a private, Hot Spring spa which can accommodate six adults.

A designer’s delight, WHALESoNG HOUSE & GARDENS are lavishly landscaped with an enclosed, verdant, rear garden of over 50 specimen rhododendrons, climbing roses, hydrangeas, princess flowers, camellias and other perennials. A profusion of colors burst from hanging baskets of annuals around the exterior of the house throughout the season. Designed by one of the owners, the serene, sculptured, 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.

There are three bedrooms, one on the upper level with a queen bed, one on the lower level with a queen bed and another on the lower level with two single beds. All are dressed with luxurious down comforters, crisp bed linens and many comfortable pillows. There is a cozy bathtub in the bright, upper bathroom and a shower in the polished burl-countered lower bathroom. Complimentary bathrobes and bath linens are provided for each guest during your stay.

The furnishings were chosen by the owners for their elegance as well as comfort. Some are precious, sturdy, family heirlooms. Original art and photographs are tastefully displayed in the rooms and hallways. Massive, antique architectural pieces punctuate the apices of the interior and exterior walls. The kitchen has a redundant supply of food preparation appliances and utensils. Attractive cookware, service-ware and accessories are provided in quantity for your home-away-from-home comfort.

There is a large, inventoried collection of Emmy-nominated videos as well as hundreds of inventoried fiction and non-fiction books and journals lining the many shelves in the living room and study. A cable TV media room features a 28” Sony TV and DVD/VCR player. And much more...
