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!

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.

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

Delightful traditional timber cottages set in a quiet location which is convenient for some great local bars and cafes as well as the beautiful river and woodlands. Cabin was toasty warm even on a cold January night. Bed was comfy, everything was great

This was my our first time here and the wife and I loved it! Affordable getaway for a fair and reasonable price tag. Lots of local attractions and a wonderful spot to call "home" for a few nights. We are coming back soon for sure.

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.
