The lady at the front desk was not very friendly, the jacuzzi didn't work the room was dusty and dirty I have pictures. when I asked for the WiFi password she told me she didn't what to give it to me because it probably didn't . work We couldn't make plans for our next stays because of it . We ask for a refund to go somewhere else we where told they couldn't help us no phone in the room no way to call for emergency or any if your cell service didn't work like our didn't. I left there felling like the baits motel and would never go back ! Redwoods are beautiful but it left me feeling like I won

Very clean, small cabins. No issues with check in. Plenty of hot water/pressure for showers. Went in November off season with the husband and dog as a base camp to visit Avenue of the Giants/Eureka. Lots of small touches (birdhouses, Christmas lights, flowers), can see how it would be great fun for kids and families in the summer, post COVID (hopefully the fire table and hot tub will reopen for use then). Room rates increased 20% between the time of our reservation and payment upon arrival, but price was fine and location in the redwoods was far better than staying in Eureka. Would return!

We did not like the attitude the staff took toward bears! They did not use bear resistant trash containers. When we pointed out the trash bags that were littering the grounds, they told us the neighbor planned to shoot the bear next time it came around. This is so disturbing!!! They did NOTHING to prevent a bear encounter. I would not stay here again! When you live in or have a business in one of the most beautiful natural and unique areas in our country and you do nothing to be a good steward of that park you lose me as a client!

BEWARE! We were surprised to see how small and dilapidated the cabins were for the price. The bathroom and kitchen are SUPER tiny. The WIFI was worthless. The power went out when we were going to bed so the generator turned on. It was extremely loud and the fumes came into the cabin. We were given a total cost when the reservation was made and the day we left they raised the rate. When we asked about it, the girl at the front desk was very rude. I get it that they need to run a business but don't be dishonest and rude!

Friendly & helpful hosts!! Great location & pet friendly with a lot of places for the dogs to walk leash free even. The cabins were alright, a bit tiny, but well equipped. Many rules about cleaning, i.e. dishes, but that's alright if you have a business you're running. Very weak wifi though (having any is a plus given there's no cell phone reception in the area). The garden area has neat places to sit & enjoy the surroundings or play games with the family. overall, a good place to take a break from camping in the wild & take a nice hot shower!!
