About Bueno Mana Homestead
After time spent traveling - in Hawaii, Central America and Southeast Asia - we decided to make a home for ourselves in the Pacific Northwest. We looked for over a year for the perfect place, and first came across this property - one drafty farmhouse, a dilapidated outbuilding an an ancient barn - and immediately knew this was where we were meant to be. We call this rustic homestead "Bueno Mana" - as in, "The Good Source/Good Life". A place to come and re-acquaint yourself with what that truly means. Situated an easy 4 miles from the nearby charming seaside town of Trinidad, and 1.5 miles away from popular Moonstone Beach, this space offers privacy, access to Nature, and a wee respite from the busy outside world. While you're here, enjoy a walk through the private loop trail or jaunt down to the beach, less than 2 miles away. Enjoy a bespoke picnic underneath the apple trees, or lay a round of disc golf on our 18-hole course onsite. At night, roast some s'mores or sip some local wine or beer by the outdoor firepit. Or take a dip in the shared hot tub with with some world class stargazing time. Easy access to world-famous hikes through the redwoods, and several miles of pristine coastal access. Guests will stay in the renovated barn, with two queen beds, a cozy outdoor sunroom, and lots of books and records on hand to enhance your stay. Inside is everything you will need for a thoroughly pampered "camping" experience: full-size fridge, electric range, microwave, coffee maker, tv and turntable, and wi-fi, plus a wood-burning stove to keep you warm while you're here. Keep to yourself and enjoy the quiet, or feel free to lounge in one of the comfy outdoor common areas and meet one of your fellow travelers staying in one of the 3 total guest spaces onsite. Your hosts - owners Amy & Ed - are on hand, as well, should you need a little extra firewood or some recommendations on the best place to launch your kayak, grab a beer, or watch a glorious sunset. Come get a taste of the good life. We welcome you.

Bueno Mano is a magical paradise! From the secluded redwood grove to the near by iconic coast line, this little journey nourished our spirits. My husband and son loved the private disc golf course and I couldn’t get over the red Tori gate in the middle of course. It literally feels like you’re walking into a sacred temple of Nature. The place was cozy, very clean and more magical than we imagined. And we lucked out with a clear spring sky to marvel at the starry sky while hot tubing. Pure magic. Amy was super helpful getting g orientated and recommend delicious places to eat in town.
The Barn, Amy’s place, was a delightful place to stay. Very cozy. It’s feeling like home. Beautiful disc golf course in the redwoods and a hot tub. Plus, it’s only a few minutes from the beach. There’s a cute little town by the beach with amazing coffee. I highly recommend staying with Amy.
We just loved this incredibly cozy spot! The barn feels so homey with its piano and record collection, while the bedding was so comfortable we slept like a couple of babes at Grandma's house. The sun room had a lovely stained glass window, but the real star of the space was the tile mosaic art around the fireplace--really special. We strolled the loop trail around the property, which offers a lush, redwood experience--a unique change for us SoCal guests. I wish I was able to throw a Frisbee better, as there was a disc golf course with some pretty unique holes. (A Japanese Torii gate in Trinida…
What else can I say except "absolute perfection!" The Barn was everything and more. So comfy and warm. It had all the amenities we needed and the fireplace was so lovely. My husband absolutely LOVED the outdoor shower - even though the inside one was just fine. A morning hot tub was just what we needed before getting back on the road. The view was stellar! The trees are magnificent. Amy and Ed are such amazing hosts. So kind and down to earth. We wanted a place that was just off the beaten path and The Barn was the perfect solution. We walked the property which has Redwood trees all over. We p…
