Tranquil peace
Great little space, bring blankets and warm clothes in the colder months… atmosphere was beautiful. Worth staying for at least full three days.
Liliana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly. Great location 1/2 hour away from Big Basin state park. 1/2 hour away from Santa Cruz. Parking was perfect for my Harley. Only minor issue was they don’t provide coffee. Will definitely stay again
kenny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved it!
This place was great! From the moment I drove in it felt so peaceful. Surrounded by trees and right next to the river. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful when I had an issue with the tv. Had it fixed right away. It is just down the road from town and hiking trails. I stayed in Cabin 4 and it had everything I needed and was very cozy. The river was just steps from my door. I would definitely come stay here again.

Super cute cabin. Could possibly use some updates but well worth the price. Comfortable bed and well supplied kitchen. Lovely lot and fantastic location. We walked from there to Henry comwell park to visit the redwoods, stopped at cowboys restaurant on the way back. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property with so many things to do very close by. Loved the quiet space.
Shawna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The grounds, surrounded by nature, its trees, and a slow moving river, was breathtaking. The grounds are clean, rustic, and inviting to kicking back and taking-in the surrounding natural beauty. The cabins are rustic and differ in size. Specifically, cabin #5, is large and laid out nicely but a defective shower head and uncomfortable bed made things a little prickly for this senior couple.
Jose, 1-night trip

Very clean and quiet resort with excellent and easy checkin/out process. We’d definitely go again.

Amy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is absolutely amazing. Cabin 9 has a GIANT redwood right on its porch facing the river behind the property. On the second day I went down the stairs in the back where a large section is dry riverbed along the running water. I brought one of lightweight sitting chairs with me, planted it in the rocks, and built a footrest out of some of the larger ones. I proceeded to stare at clouds through the tops of giant trees for three hours before I knew it. That night we picked up a cord of wood at the nearby Safeway and built a fire in the very large community fire pit to make s’mores for the kids. I saw a lot of crazy places as a sailor, and this is one of the most pleasant spots on the planet. We will be back. Can I just buy one? 😆

Nestled within the Big Trees, this is a hidden gem. Cabins are quaint, lovely and near to mny special spots. Santa Cruz coast just 8 miles away, yet here, you are a cozy in the woods. Very special place
