We had a great time, Djangatos were excellent, and our room was large.

This is definitely a quaint option but so cute for the area and rooms were very clean. Front desk staff were very kind and helpful. Walls were thin and could hear neighbors walking around very easily but to be expected in an old building. Would stay here again.

Wonderful quiet historic setting. Short drive to some unique restaurants. Reasonably priced. Nice patio or balcony. $50 a day extra for a small quiet dog is a bit steep but still a fair price. Close to Santa Cruz and San Jose by car in the Redwood forest...heavenly!

I booked this lodge to be off the beaten path and quiet and it was cool. There is a store and bar on property (bar on weekends only). The room was clean and comfortable. It had a little balcony that was nice to sit and relax on. The hotel was only a 15 minute drive into Santa Cruz. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Of course the history of this place is fascinating and it's just a wonderful Retreat surrounded by ancient redwood forest babbling Brooks and rivers and just quiet beautiful Serene setting. The rooms were clean neat and very comfortable and enjoyed the patio balcony and the ability to have the fresh air coming into the room

It’s a beautiful area but with live music Friday and Saturday night it makes for a not so relaxing time. The walls are thin so we could hear the music and neighbors stomping around and slamming doors both night. Even a dog barking below us. The bed was comfortable but the shower dripped and there was mold on the ceiling. Coffee maker was dirty.

This is a nice getaway spot. There is plenty ofareas outside for hanging out and the bar/lounge is convenient. There was a live salsa band there so that was a fun surprise. The room was nice and clean. I would go back.
