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!

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

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
