- "Fabulous location, great hikes in the redwoods, panoramic views. Rooms are clean, fireplaces well provisioned and staff helpful." - "If you want a quiet, off of the map, unplugged, magical experience, this is it. The rooms are not fancy, no Wi-Fi, no TV, no frills. The beds were decently comfortable and we had a fireplace and a small deck to sit on. That being said, the lodge is extremely nice with a fire going and a place to hang out, books to read with comfortable seating, a coffee shop, a restaurant with very friendly service, and a gift shop. There are no words for beauty of the grounds, it’s like being in a fairytale. We will definitely be back!"
