Trinity Mountain Meadow Resort

For an escape, this is the perfect place. Several small cabins and a lodge with a few rooms. Electricity from a generator that goes off at night. Plenty to do including nearby hiking. 10 mile unpaved road to get there. Forgot about traffic and stress for the days we were there.

Owned by a family in the SF bay area, only about 10 of the 17 week season are available to outsiders. But once you've visited, you'll feel like one of the family. Folks are very friendly and there are many returnees. ||The Coffee Creek road turns to dirt after a few miles and it takes the better part of an hour on the dirt to get to the resort. But it's worth it. Beautiful setting in the high 5000 foot meadow of the Salmon River valley below the Sawtooth mountain range on the border between Klamath and Shasta national forests in the Trinity Mountains. ||Great hiking trails, many of which are quite long and many with 1500 to 2000 foot elevation gain. Great mountain views, meadows, lakes. The loop trail along the upper Salmon River is the easiest to start with. The staff and guests w

For three nights, we were guests of one of the ownership families. The road from Highway 3 to Mountain Meadow is a bit of an adventure in itself and, as a result of the wildfire of 2021, passes through many miles of scorched and devastated forest. The Mountain Meadow property remains fully intact, however, still exuding all of its rustic charm while providing an excellent "off the grid" experience. Everything needed to ensure a luxury stay in a wilderness environment had been thought of and was made available, including warm companionship, great food and charming accommodations.

I hate leaving reviews for places I absolutely love for fear they will be overrun. We travel a good deal as a family and this is by far our favorite week of the year. It’s tough to explain this place - but if you love the outdoors, love amazing home cooked food, love to watch your kids play in forts and on tire swings - then this is your place. It’s setting is unparalleled, the hiking is incredible and the families who run this lodge truly love this place.||This is not for high maintenance people looking for a four seasons equivalent. It’s a mountain lodge — extremely clean and comfortable — but you almost feel you have the honor to share the experience with those who run it rather than the other way around.

Trinity Mountain Meadow Resort is a very special place. It is run by several families for only a 6-week season each summer. I would describe the property as a hiking retreat with childcare--perfect for families. You book a one-week stay, and during the stay all food (which is absolutely amazing) is included. After a long drive in (this place is not close to anything) you park your car and won't touch it for the week. ||||Each morning there is a home-cooked breakfast. Lunch is packed as a sack lunch for hikes, or eaten at the lodge. Dinner is a special event--first is a "kids" dinner followed by a grown-up dinner, while the kids are entertained by the rec staff. My kids (ages 5 and 9) absolutely love this set up. Of course, the adult dinner is a real treat as well! During
