"Beautiful property surrounded by wonderful redwood forest trails and great amenities (pool, yurt, gym, hot tub). We stayed in a wonderful cabin room with an awesome pacific ocean view. We were celebrating our anniversary there, but unfortunately our stay was cut short by a distant forest fire. We look forward to visiting again in the future!"
