The Chalet is located along Coffee Creek in Northern California's sparsely inhabited Trinity County, 30 air miles west of Mt. Shasta, this majestic retreat offers complete modern living convenience yet solitude, unspoiled wilderness beauty, and access to some great nearby hiking trails, fishing streams and lakes. [If you like details, we are located at 41°5"1'N and 122°42'48"W at an elevation of 2660 feet.]

You will stay along Coffee Creek, a year round river, which got its name from the gold rush days when miner's sluice boxes muddied the waters. The grounds are forested with redwoods, cedars, firs, pines, yews, and oak. A large lawn between the Coffee Creek Chalet and river offers plenty of room for croquette, games, or sunbathing. Our back yard is thousands of acres of forest land, and we are surrounded by the Trinity Alps that rise above 8000 feet.

Fishermen find this area a delight. You can walk 50 yards through our meadow lawn to Coffee Creek and catch native rainbow trout, or downstream from us, planters in the Trinity River. Trinity Lake, just ten minutes south, still holds the state record for small mouth bass.

There you'll also find large rainbow, German Browns, Kokanee salmon, large mouth bass, and catfish. Click here for current stream fishing conditions. Two nearby marinas rent patio and fishing boats, and there is a boat launch in nearby Trinity Center.

For hikers, there are numerous alpine lakes throughout the area where you can catch Brookies, Eagle Lake trout or just spend a leisurely afternoon enjoying nature at her best. Dozens of wilderness hikes offer varying degrees of difficulty. Winter snows provide hundreds of miles of natural trails for cross country skiing and snowmobiling.
