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!

Overall, great visit. However, description listed a toaster was provided. There wasn't one. Also, no oven mitts for the oven. Would be helpful to include those.

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

The locatiom of the property was very close to town. .y cabin was quite dark due to a lack of lighting at night. The TV remote didn't work to catch up on world events.

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.

The cabin is clean and spacious. It has a kitchenette with microwave and a mini fridge, which are nice to have. The doorknob seems flimsy though. The area is pretty quiet at night. Wifi is terrible; it always disconnects.

If you are a person who loves 5-star luxury hotels with modern amenities, this ain’t it. However, if you love being surrounded by nature and a clean and functional living space for sleeping and eating between your nature fun, this is THE place. We only stayed a night while passing through the area in this cozy old school cabin with a river in the backyard. We picked up some grocery provisions and had a great time! In this crazy and chaotic world, it was a rare chance to breathe deeply and listen to the river, birds, and cabin neighbors enjoying family and friends. Musty old cabin some reviewers say? Open the windows, let the sun in and enjoy the cross breeze - old cabins like to breathe, too.
