Had to spend some time in between business engagements and wanted a relaxing place to catch up on paperwork - it was perfect! Listening to the river rolling by and enjoying the beautiful, shaded redwood grove - very special. Will come again!

How can spending a night among the Redwoods, with a babbling brook to serenade you, not be enchanting?
Beds are firm, not great for side sleepers and I am not a fan of their pillows. But all in all, a wonderful time!
The locatiom of the property was very close to town. .y cabin was quite dark due to a lack of lighting at night. The TV remote didn't work to catch up on world events.
The property is gorgeous. It is centered around redwood trees and has stairs down to the river. The landscape of the property is beautiful and well-maintained. I cannot give it full stars due to one thing that was not well listed. We booked the deluxe cottage thinking it was a larger sized cottage for my husband and I to go on a quiet vacation. When we got there, we saw that the deluxe cottage had a shared wall instead of being a solo cabin. I wish I had known that prior to booking because there was a family with young kids staying on the other side. We could hear everything through the wall for 2days and made our trip less of a getaway and more of not wanting to stay there during the day. Next time, we won't spend more for the deluxe and instead book one of the smaller cabins.
The place is Rustic and the property is well kept. The staff are very friendly. I gave it fours star, it would been five stars if the studio unit I stayed for 3 nights the shower valve did not work so great. It is very hard to adjust the water temperture. The water is too hot or too cold, It would be best to upgrade the shower valve. I think I wasted alot of water because it took me very long to get the tempurture warm so i can take a shower. I had to leave it on and switch with my kids or not, they would not be able to adjust the water temp.
My overall stay here was fantastic. It was a nice cozy area, they had a bonfire pit, tether ball, and so many other fan activities to do (including a little storage with books and toys for children)! The rooms and the property were nice and clean and the beds were comfy. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family!

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.
