Perfect stay, we arrived a little later in the evening and the restaurant/bar at the lodge had live music. The room has a balcony, the vibe is just right - fresh air surrounded by tall redwoods. My only complaint was the coffee machine in the room makes more coffee than the provided cups can handle - overflow!

Beautiful Lodge with the nicest Lodge Host / Management. Rooms are very clean, updated and very comfortable bed. The surrounding area is very beautiful and has a great downtown with wonderful shopping and eating. I was here on business to get away from the city and relax. Can't wait to come back and bring the family for a vacation.

The front staff were great and super friendly. They made the check in super easy and quick. However, the room was not as clean as hotel rooms should be. There was hair in the shower/bathroom, the fridge was dirty on the inside. There were some daddy long leg spiders in both corners of the room but that did not bother us as we were clearly staying in the mountains. Overall, the cleanliness could have been better but it was in a very nice location, close to some yummy restaurants and other fun activities!

The property is beautiful. Very happy with our room. The live music was fun. We had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day there.

We stopped here for 1 night on our Californian road trip with our 4 year old. We felt like the only people staying here!! The bar and cafe were closed (despite the cafe sign saying it was open...) and it seemed like the shop was opened when the proprietor felt like it (not open during advertised hours). Luckily we'd eaten in nearby at Boulder Creek Pizza & Pub, but we weren't able to get anything for breakfast. The old swimming pool would be such an amazing selling point if it was in use - it was a shame to see it locked away. The room had everything we needed, including a fridge & microwave, and the staff we met were friendly. Beware when exiting the car park - its a blind corner and we were very nearly smashed into when leaving. A mirror would be handy

The rooms were big and the beds very comfortable. The hotel had live music from 7-10pm. The man checking us in wasn't having any of our friendliness, but the checkin itself went quickly.

It was a great and comfortable stay. It was spacious, clean,organize and calm stay. We were at the very end with our pug,so we had a great time in a private space and quietness. The bed was comfortable and we slept great. The weather was cold,but thankfully there is a heater! If we needed small snacks and necessities, thankfully theres a small market. Sadly, the diners are close, but there are great places nearby for food-like in Felton. The patio was nice,but cold for our trip at moment. The location was good (in the mountain forest and close to the sea in 30mins-perfect)Overall, it was a great and comfortable stay! We'll be back next time again.

The history alone is enought to check this place out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Very peaceful. The area is so beautiful and refreshing. My only complaint is that the coffee in the room was terrible, and that only mattered because there is no where to walk and buy your own. I can't wait to come back. I was assured that the great hall is under restoration, but that obtaining permits and making it happen is a slow process. I love places that have rich history. Im very glad that after the 2020, fire its open again to experience that history.

Reasonable place to stay near Boulder Creek, was there in January with a good price. Room was spacious and clean. Bathtub did not drain well. Staff were a bit unenthused but, hey, I get that, it was a cold, long winter night in what seemed like the off season.

The only hope was the middle age gentle man who was always there to help and serve. The rest of experience was very poor. We won’t go back but good luck to that dude.
