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

everything was perfect. I will definitely go again. They were very helpful. They even brought us towels when it rained :) We went a little unprepared and they brought our coal right away. They were very quick and practical in solving problems. The cabins were clean inside and there was a very warm family atmosphere. Thank you very much.

Liked: Amenities
The grounds, surrounded by nature, its trees, and a slow moving river, was breathtaking. The grounds are clean, rustic, and inviting to kicking back and taking-in the surrounding natural beauty. The cabins are rustic and differ in size. Specifically, cabin #5, is large and laid out nicely but a defective shower head and uncomfortable bed made things a little prickly for this senior couple.
