Not too sure about all of the past reviews of this place. We stayed in one of the motel rooms so I cannot say about the cabins. Number one this place is VERY dated but seems relatively clean. My bed seemed to be way past it's prime. The television was of questionable value ( one channel? ). The motel rooms are very close to the highway but a berm muffled all but the loudest trucks on the highway. The ultra friendly cats wanted to enter the cabin.
We never met the the managers but they had good manners on the phone.

We stayed at Trinity Canyon Lodge this past weekend for a mini getaway. We picked Junction City as base camp for exploring the area and hiking in the Trinity Alps. The drive to the lodge is beautiful and it's not far from Weaverville if you want to grab a bite to eat or pick up some groceries. The owners were very friendly and even let us borrow some of their dvds to watch in our room at night. Our room was cozy and clean and had a mini fridge and coffee maker. In the evening when the wind blows there's relaxing wind chimes outside. There's also christmas lights lining the trim outside that add to the charm. Adorable dogs on the property too. The only downside I can think of is that there's no wifi...but it's not a big deal. It's affordable too! We felt very comfortable and relaxed there and would definitely stay again.

I've been to the Trinity Canyon Lodge many times in the past 10 years for fishing trips, family reunions, river rafting, hiking in the Trinity National Forest, and just to decompress. I've stayed in most of their room and cabins and all are clean and comfortable. With the exception of a trip that had to be cancelled because the property was surrounded by a forest fire, all of my stays have been pleasant. The suites closest to the river have private patios that overlook the water.

Superb and relaxing vistas are guaranteed, especially as you watch the midsummer sunset down the narrow canyon with the persistent babel of the wildly winding river.

In addition there is a private beach for guests that runs the length of the property. It can be used as a launch or take-out for rafts, kayaks, canoes, and smaller boats. The owners are more than accommodating and have provided a shuttle service to both pick-up and drop-off cars for my family and I when we take river trips for either fishing or for the white water.
The area is a little remote, 10 minutes from the closest store and gas station, and 30 minutes from the town of Weaverville which has the closest supermarket, a handful of quirky restaurants on the historic Main Street. Modern conveniences are few and far between, but that's been perfect for my needs. There's plenty of activities that don't require a constant WI-FI connection and the best part is that all the scenery is in HD
