the glamping experience is wonderful with bathtub in the in the yurt. And the furnishing is chic with a scandinavian tone. Will visit again in next foliage season for a quiet getaway.
Everything was very nice and my wife and I had a relaxing stay.
The fall colors were out in full glory and temprature was 29 degrees which was nice waking up to.
We have stayed here before and will continue to do so.
The yurt is wonderful. Very comfortable and it has all the modern amenities. I can hear the river as I type this. The only drawback is the lack of bathroom privacy (not closed off from the room).
We showed up to this beautiful resort to see the fall colors, it did not disappoint. We stayed in a yurt next to the river, it was glorious! Dog friendly was a plus. We will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our room was very clean and the they had great pet options. Pets are very welcome!
The Dyson blow dryer was a nice added touch…it worked amazing! Also loved the Sauna!
The highway noise is very loud. And the heater kept making noise all night. We stayed in the Redwood room, very close to the highway. Wish there was a Sunday breakfast or brunch to eat. The bed could have been more comfy…felt like a futon.

Travelled with family and small children, Travelled with pets
Front desk lady was very nice and respectful, the cook with the hair wrapped up in the bar and grill was super unprofessional, condescending and rude. Will come back but won’t step foot in that bar and grill.
All I can say is WOW!! Fabulous trip all around!! Staff, location, accommodation!! The Yurt was amazing. It rained and there was lighting. The Yurt has a ceiling had a sky light. So we not only dry and safe from the elements but we also got a nature show. This was definitely a way to be removed from the crazy rat race of life!! Would recommend everyone give an Yurt stay a try 😄
Very disappointed that I did not pick up on the amenities of NO refrigerator, microwave or hanging area for clothes other than hooks on the wall. These are basic necessities
The favorite place for our fur family to stay when in the area! Such unique cabins, great staff, EV charging, wonderful onsite restaurant - and dog friendly!
