This was our second year staying here. Last year we stayed in cottage 7, this year we spent a couple of days in 7 again, then moved to the larger cottage 8 when it became available. The cottages are from the 1920s and the woodwork is lovely. There are antiques all over and I enjoyed looking at them. The office staff is all very friendly and helpful, even when I spent a little time talking their ears off.....lol. It's a very peaceful place in the redwoods and the cottages are kept very clean. Yes, they need to do some minor repairs in both cottages, and IMHO, could use some a/c for the times in the summer when it gets hot, and it does get hot sometimes. But, due to shade from the trees, if you open all the windows at night, use the fans they provide, then close everything up in the morning, it will stay fairly cool, except for on the very hottest days that hit the mid-90s into the low 100s. One day when it was forecast to hit 104, we decided it would be a good day to visit the coast where it's nice and cool, and less than an hour's drive away. They provide some kitchen items but need to replace the no-longer-non-stick-pans. Some more lights around would also help with the darkness of the rooms. We enjoyed the campfire and appreciated the roasting sticks as we forgot ours. The pool was nice to sit at with our feet in the water but was a little chilly for us for swimming. They all work hard to keep this place nice for guests and do a really good job. As with any rentals, there is constant upkeep, and for the most part, they do a great job keeping up. It's a great place for some R&R, peaceful, lovely, in the middle of the Avenue of the Giants, and well worth the price.
