This little cabin we stayed in was tucked in at the edge of the Redwoods, near Santa Cruz. This was a lovely location while traveling up the California coast.

A lovely old fashioned resort bungalows in the redwoods. We were attending a concert nearby in Felton and the hotel was very conveniently located. Super easy checkin and check out. Very friendly hosts. I wish that I'd stayed for an additional day to properly enjoy tge setting.

The resort is in a beautiful spot in the woods and right near the San Lorenzo River. The staff are friendly and the check-in was smooth - after direct communication with the resort. We booked the two-bedroom cottage with a loft. Appreciated the full kitchen but do wish the resort would invest in some new towels and blankets. The towels were at least 10 years old as were the blankets and my son said the one on his bed did not smell pleasant. Overall though a great venue and will book again.

Beautiful location within walking distance to the state park. There’s a cute little river that runs through the back of the property. The location offers free use of games, volleyball, ping pong, board games, horseshoes and books.

This was the perfect location and the cabin was adorable. Only complaints were the sheets smelled like they were not washed and the shower head was aiming up so you had to hold the shower head to rinse off.
