2/10 Poor

The property is beautiful! The cabins are not clean. Lots of dust build up and overall neglect. Be sure to wear socks or shoes inside because your feet will turn black with how dirty the floors are. The mattresses might be the origonal ones as they are crunchy and lopsided. Also for those non smokers bring a respirator because the smell of cigarettes is overwhelming. Also be aware that you have other people just a wall over, im pretty sure our wall neighbor was a chain smoker and perhaps someone that lives/works at the property. Their smoke comes through the walls and windows. The property has a tremendous amount of opportunity to be fantastic! If cleanliness and the smell of smoke were not factors i would give 3 stars.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful location, right in the middle of the California Redwoods. Clean, cute, comfortable cabins with porches to have your coffee on and decks to sit on and watch the river. The cabins and property are immaculately kept up. You can build a fire in the fire pit and play ping pong, badminton or choose a game from the game cabinet. Felton is a gorgeous little town with great places to eat, and there are plenty of eateries and a Safeway a short distance from Fern River Resort. Santa Cruz is only about 20 minutes away. Fern River Resort is the perfect place for a getaway to the Redwoods and the Northern California coast, the staff is wonderful and helpful, and we are already planning our next visit! Thank you, Fern River Resort, for the amazing time.

8/10 Very good

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.

Left in the dark
There was a power outage the morning of our departure meaning we had to shower, dress and pack for a long haul flight in the near dark. No hair drying either. The setting otherwise is amazing- surrounded by the huge redwoods.
