Staff person at the desk on 11/8 in the evening was super attentive and welcoming, was doing it all last night. Checked us in quickly and with a friendly demeanor around 8pm, then we saw him later doing sound for the band playing in the bar hall a little later, then bar backing as well. Also had to get something for a room all in the middle of this. The five stars are really for him, and the fun atmosphere of the music. Regrettably I can’t remember his name. Room itself is roomy and quiet, comfortable but needs some paint patching for scuffs and marks on the wall, the shampoo bottle was leaking from the bottom, and the door jam needs either a deep cleaning or replacing, lots of black marks/dirt around bottom of entrance. A little more maiand this would be perfect. Love waking to the redwoods and quiet around property.

The staff at the Office, Restaurant and Bar were exceptionally friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant! This place is pet-friendly, but the out door pet spaces should be improved. The breakfast in the restaurant was so delicious, but NOT free! The restaurant has high quality food and choices! The bar has a wide variety of drinks and music on the week ends.
