Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The scenery & location was the absolute best! The river, the sounds, everything outside the cabin was perfect!
Negative: My only complaint is our cabin was connected to a wall/another cabin who had 2 young children. They were nonstop jumping on furniture (bed, futons, tables, etc.), slamming the windows and walls and running back & forth across the cabin. For literally hours nonstop. I know this exactly because I went over to ask if they could try to keep it limited a bit a few times and witnessed it all myself as well as seeing the kids hitting the windows when I walked by. It sounded as if it was in our cabin and as if a train was going through both cabins. The wood floors echo so loud. When I talk to staff, she said, hopefully the kids go to bed early. I was hoping to get a little support. I have three children, and completely understand their need to have fun, but this was completely beyond that. I would love to stay at this resort again, but will absolutely not get a room attached to another. That’s a horrible gamble that could ruin your stay. We were unable to watch TV lay down and read or just enjoy the sounds of nature around us. I did not expect or want to complete silence, but I did not expect or want the chaos that was next-door either.
Summary: Almost perfect stay.

Positive: I loved the quietness and how clean it was. I loved the fireplace in my room and the bed was very comfy. The sheets and blankets were clean. You open the curtains and redwoods all around. Black out curtains were a plus Lisa was on the property and easy access. Close to stores and gas stations
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Quiet peaceful trip

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful, close to nature, relaxing, clean and comfortable, and we were there in a stormy winter day, but I imagine it’s just magical in the spring
Negative: I’m not sure about all the cabins, but ours did not have good Internet reception so we were pretty much off-line while we were there. Which can be a great thing sometimes unless you’re trying to get work done. Only complaint.
Summary: Very unique and beautiful place where you can feel like you’re staying in a cabin, but with all the amenities to be comf
