8/10 Good

Beautiful spot!
Greg, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For the price, this was a great stay. A little bit outdated and the facility itself needs some TLC but overall beautiful and a great stay with an attentive manager. Would definitely stay again
Kristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The garden, access to the River, staff and visitors were friendly
Ann, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very relaxing stay with a great view
Maureen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved the private access to the lake, very convenient and beautiful way to start the morning. The manager, Jay, was very kind and flexible despite the curve balls we threw at him. The place was cozy but does need some work. I liked the convenience of having a kitchen.
Oscar, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This place is filthy! Bugs, mold, no hot water, and completely unsanitary. Do not stay here.
Noam, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

We got a mini suite and the bed was comfortable and unit was clean with soft new towels but those were the room highlights as well as a view of the river right in front with access if that is what you will be doing here. This was a step above camping and the property is old. There is no staff full time but self check in went OK. There is Wi-Fi but the whole area is lacking in cell service outside so be aware. We were there for a wedding nearby so did not use the property for leisure. There is a golf course down the road that served an excellent breakfast with a lovely view. The hotels along the river all look pretty old so this may not be uncommon for the area. If you are looking for a bargain this serves the purpose and had small kitchen and fridge but our room had only a large fan and no A/C unit. Some relatives had a room next to ours with free standing rolling A/C unit that sort of worked. Stairs to climb up to top rooms no elevators but we were able. If you need to sleep it’s OK.

Will stay here again

A beautiful, charming stay right on the river! Loved being able to sit out on the deck in the sunshine and look out at the redwoods and the river.

Super great and friendly service.
Aimee, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location of the property is excellent. It is beside the river, beautiful surrounding and one can walk and dip in the river. But the condition of the property is not good. This is the only drawback of the property
Nilesh, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love it

This has now become my new yearly Memorial Day holiday spot. I was greeted immediately by the gentleman who is in charge here and each day he met my husband dog and I with an amazing attitude and smile. It was so peaceful that I didn’t want to leave.
Martina, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very nice staff! Property is a bit dated and needs some TLC, but it’s a very good location right on the river and the staff were lovely.
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

This property was a major letdown, even for someone used to budget travel. I came here directly from a camping trip with very modest expectations—and was still disappointed. From the moment we arrived, communication was disorganized and unclear. There was no staff onsite, no cell service, no Wi-Fi info, and a sign on the door instructing us to call or message via WhatsApp—without any way to do so. After leaving the property to find reception, I finally got a message directing me to retrieve a key from a dropbox—without any in-person interaction. On top of that, we were placed in a completely different room than the one we reserved. We had specifically booked a room with a private balcony for a special occasion, and instead were given a unit that opened to a shared walkway, with broken blinds and zero privacy. During our stay, we were blocked in by another car. When I asked for help, the only response was to “ask them to move it,” even though there was no indication of whose car it was or how to contact anyone else. No staff were present at any point, and there was no further communication. The room itself was outdated, worn, and clearly not maintained with care. What’s most frustrating is that the property seems to charge a premium simply because it can—not because it offers anything close to a quality experience. It feels like no real effort is made to maintain the space or provide basic hospitality. The attitude seems to be: “people will book it anyway."
Stephanie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was old but nice. The grounds were beautiful and the mattress was very comfortable.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Similar to some other facilities in area, but not as expected. We stayed 1night then moved to another inn. As seniors, about 80 years old, the stairs were a problem.
Mary, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Property needs major TLC!

We had an okay stay. It has a nice river view but the propery is very outdated. The bathroom was tiny and a bit dirty. The kitchen stove was rusty and cabinets were old that the paint were already chipping. The window blinds were broken. We had to kinda fix it to cover atleast most part of the window. The room was a bit dark. Not enough lighting. I didn’t feel comfortable staying inside the room, more so sleeping on the bed. The bed sheets has overwhelming stench. Fortunately, we always carry our own bedsheets, blankets and pillow covers for such situation. Unless they upgrade, we don’t see ourselves staying in this property again.
Ailyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property is very nice. Jay the property manager was excellent. Felt very comfy and welcoming. I wood stay here again for sure. Five stars
