We loved the beautiful natural location and the distinct historical feel of the hotel. The rooms were spacious and stylishly furnished with ample storage space. The hotel facilities were in perfect sync with the original historical charm. The staff provided excellent service.

Nothing, no complaints at all. Everything was perfect.

The property is beautiful and well maintained, with clean rooms furnished with lovely antiques. The staff was professional and friendly. The dinner was excellent both nights, and the grab and go breakfast was exceptional. The hotel is located in a convenient area, just a 5-minute drive from Garberville for groceries, gas, and other dining options.

No negatives from this place.

The historical charm, beautiful location, proximity to attractions, and friendly staff.

Nothing bad to say.

The hotel was clean, with nice rooms and great outdoor areas. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was picturesque, with a pretty cement bridge and a stream.

No Tesla chargers, limited attention to environmental consciousness.
