This property would be exceptional if it added additional touches such as robes, slippers, working fireplaces, and retouched rooms. Walls and doors were scuffed throughout, just needed some TLC. Grounds are gorgeous and enjoyed food at restaurant.

Nice stay, for the price would love robes in the room, faster WiFi and a transport or safer walking route from the grove to the restaurant, but the location is lovely, bed is comfy, products in the bathroom are top notch and the restaurant is excellent.

Check in staff was a little un-hospitable - very transactional. The room was freezing and water would not warm past like warm (over at the Grove). Staff made up for the poor check in experience the next day- extremely warm and professional offering to switch rooms. The Spa staff was incredibly attentive as is the bar staff. The property is adorable- cozy, rustic but high end. The event activities (yoga) are also wonderful! Would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Staff & service
Cabin cleanliness was not excellent but acceptable. The staff at the restaurant were really nice and professional but the spa receptionist was impolite and dismissive. This was a bummer because we were on a girls' trip and spa was supposed to be a big part of it but we had to do something else because the behavior we encountered at the spa when we went to inquire about services for the next day was not acceptable.

Our second time staying here and it’s always so beautiful. We love the nature, heated outdoor pools for our kiddos, complimentary yoga classes and kayaking . Just beautiful property! Only thing they didn’t have for both days we stayed was the complimentary coffee station at the lodge . They kept saying we have complimentary coffee in our rooms .

I want to say don’t come here because it’s so good. Probably safe from before being overrun though as it was not crowded. The restaurant, on the other hand, is very popular which can be a problem if don’t want to leave the property. Mixed blessing there but food and cocktails are extremely good.

The ambiance was relaxing and exceptional set in the redwoods. The staff is very customer oriented and took care of all our needs. We loved the s’mores at night. We’ll be back!!
