Really enjoyed staying in this former chapel, the former St Thomas church AFAIK. Neat and tidy, well appointed and provisioned. We chose to sleep on the murphy bed. Great place to stay if you're visiting Redwoods State and National Parks. We saw a herd of Elk at the Orick elementary school yard during calving season - it was magical.

Family of Four Stays in the Lil Chapel
We are a family of 4 and one of our teenagers HATES the sound of snoring (which is too bad because the rest of us snore). So a one room chapel house might seem like a weird choice. But the functional nature of this special little spot won each of us over for different reasons. And by the end, we were all ready to relocate to Orick.There were five different options to sleep on, lots of privacy screens, and the property was exactly what our city dwelling family needed to unplug. We pet horses when we arrived and talked to the doggies next door. The bathroom was big enough to have the snore averting teen set up one of the foam twin beds which seems extreme but alas, he is a particular sleeper at the moment. Orick is a great halfway location between Eureka and Klamath. Trinidad hikes, lagoons, and an excellent local pizza spot (Mojo Pizza) ticked off all of our adventuring boxes. We also cooked all our meals in the kitchen which had all our essentials: coffee maker, stove, toaster oven, and sink. Shower pressure good. Washer and dryer meant we went home with suitcases of clean clothes. And the hosts provided soap for dishes, clothes, and bodies. Thanks to them for that. We did call the property manager for a sewage smell by the washer/dryer/tub on day one, guessing they have a dry trap issue. They were responsive, helpful, and came over right away.

Great location for Redwood Park
Great spot to use as HQ when visiting the Redwood park(s). Nice and clean. Near the Orick Market that seems to have everything (groceries, ice cream!, etc.). There is a bit of road noise as it is very close to the main road.

Novel idea
It was fun thinking about the history inside this place. It had everything you would need, apart from food/coffee/condiments. Bed was very cozy, courtyard lovely. Yah, the proximity of the traffic took some getting used to, but it was quiet enough at night.

Great location to explore the Redwood parks.
The cabin has everything you need and was very interesting having been an old church. It is as close as you can get to some of the sights in the Redwoods. It was only a 10-minute drive to the trail to see Fern Canyon and the elk herd at Elk Meadow. There are several great trails nearby. The Cathedral Trail is not too difficult and gets its name from the awe-inspiring trees you see along the way. We went back a second day and did the trail twice. The city of Orick itself has no gas station and only one small restaurant that has limited hours, so you need to gas up and get supplies before arriving. Trinidad has several nice places to eat, gas, and a decent grocery. There is also a small museum there that is worth the time if you like history. We walked the trail up to where the lighthouse used to be. It was a fairly easy walk and from up there you get a beautiful almost 360-degree view of the historic fishing village of Trinidad and the beautiful coastline.

Unique and spacious place
It's a renovated former church so it's open and spacious. I would say it gives you a feeling of a fun slumber party. All the beds are are in a very large area. You can open and use the various beds or not. The bathroom is walled off, but the rest is open to the kitchen, dining and sleeping areas. It's warm and inviting and nicely decorated.

The location was close to the Redwood National Forest so very convenient for hiking. The space was clean, nicely decorated and had everything needed for a comfortable stay including lots of hot water.The TV and entertainment system was excellent with full access including Netflix. However, the heating system was not working properly so it was freezing overnight and in the morning. On our last morning we also had no hot water at all. This rental unit is right on the highway so traffic noise is an issue if sensitive to that.
