This place is absolutely amazing. Cabin 9 has a GIANT redwood right on its porch facing the river behind the property. On the second day I went down the stairs in the back where a large section is dry riverbed along the running water. I brought one of lightweight sitting chairs with me, planted it in the rocks, and built a footrest out of some of the larger ones. I proceeded to stare at clouds through the tops of giant trees for three hours before I knew it. That night we picked up a cord of wood at the nearby Safeway and built a fire in the very large community fire pit to make s’mores for the kids. I saw a lot of crazy places as a sailor, and this is one of the most pleasant spots on the planet. We will be back. Can I just buy one? 😆

Super cute cabin. Could possibly use some updates but well worth the price. Comfortable bed and well supplied kitchen. Lovely lot and fantastic location. We walked from there to Henry comwell park to visit the redwoods, stopped at cowboys restaurant on the way back. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

The grounds, surrounded by nature, its trees, and a slow moving river, was breathtaking. The grounds are clean, rustic, and inviting to kicking back and taking-in the surrounding natural beauty. The cabins are rustic and differ in size. Specifically, cabin #5, is large and laid out nicely but a defective shower head and uncomfortable bed made things a little prickly for this senior couple.

The property is beautiful! The cabins are not clean. Lots of dust build up and overall neglect. Be sure to wear socks or shoes inside because your feet will turn black with how dirty the floors are. The mattresses might be the origonal ones as they are crunchy and lopsided. Also for those non smokers bring a respirator because the smell of cigarettes is overwhelming. Also be aware that you have other people just a wall over, im pretty sure our wall neighbor was a chain smoker and perhaps someone that lives/works at the property. Their smoke comes through the walls and windows. The property has a tremendous amount of opportunity to be fantastic! If cleanliness and the smell of smoke were not factors i would give 3 stars.

Beautiful location, right in the middle of the California Redwoods. Clean, cute, comfortable cabins with porches to have your coffee on and decks to sit on and watch the river. The cabins and property are immaculately kept up. You can build a fire in the fire pit and play ping pong, badminton or choose a game from the game cabinet. Felton is a gorgeous little town with great places to eat, and there are plenty of eateries and a Safeway a short distance from Fern River Resort. Santa Cruz is only about 20 minutes away. Fern River Resort is the perfect place for a getaway to the Redwoods and the Northern California coast, the staff is wonderful and helpful, and we are already planning our next visit! Thank you, Fern River Resort, for the amazing time.

If you are a person who loves 5-star luxury hotels with modern amenities, this ain’t it. However, if you love being surrounded by nature and a clean and functional living space for sleeping and eating between your nature fun, this is THE place. We only stayed a night while passing through the area in this cozy old school cabin with a river in the backyard. We picked up some grocery provisions and had a great time! In this crazy and chaotic world, it was a rare chance to breathe deeply and listen to the river, birds, and cabin neighbors enjoying family and friends. Musty old cabin some reviewers say? Open the windows, let the sun in and enjoy the cross breeze - old cabins like to breathe, too.
