This was our second time staying at Dean Creek Resort in one of their adorable "tiny house" cabins, so clearly we like it well enough to be return guests. The location is outstanding, right at the beginning of the Avenue of the Giants. It's conveniently located right off HWY 101, yet feels secluded and natural, set in a redwood grove beside the Eel River. It has some great amenities like swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, playground, and amphitheater, and the camp store is convenient for basic necessities and a few small souvenirs. We love that they're dog-friendly, too! This time we did encounter a few issues, which is why a star is knocked off. For such a small space (I'd estimate maybe 250sf) the cabin we were assigned had a lot wrong. The rolling barn door to the bathroom was off its track and almost fell on me, and neither the microwave nor the hot water heater were functioning. Staff members were great though, and took quick action to remedy the issues as best they could. Only the hot water situation could not be swiftly resolved, so they gave us the key to the empty cabin next door so we could shower there. Other than those hiccups we had a lovely stay in a beautiful and serene setting. On balance yes, we'd return a third time for the location, charm, and to support a quirky, homey-feeling, family-operated small resort. I'd take that over a soulless chain hotel any day of the week.

We stayed here for one night in transit. The beds were not as comfortable as at similar places, but the property was very quiet, which we appreciated. The highlight was the great coffee machine with a nice variety of options.

This is an amazing property. It was beautiful and quiet. We stayed in cabin 1 and could see the river from our porch. Easy river access as well as a sauna. The sweet lady at the front desk was very accommodating and gifted us a bag of ice when we ran out. The cabin we cute and quaint, with basic cooking necessities. It was just the relaxing break we needed. Can’t wait to plan my next trip back!

So, if you have ever seen Friday the 13th, this place looks like the inspiration. While the lady who runs the place was very nice, she has 50 cats running around the place and left work which closed up shop literally as I drove up. Luckily she was there. When I went to my room, i walked through several cobwebs and the room felt like a sauna. It smelled of teenage sex and cat piss. The furniture was circa 1967, and I mean literally junk back then. I went to open the window and the window fell out of the sill. Luckily I caught it. After trying to fix it for 10 minutes, I had to basically lean it against the opening. On the backside of the room they has sliding doors to a 'patio'. I tried to open that and it also fell off the tracks. Imanaged to fix that and closed it. The whole place was falling apart. The toilet rocked when I sat on it and I skipped trying to take a shower - wasn't going to risk that. Tried to take my dog down to walk along the river. The reason I booked here was to be able to do that. Well, the whole riverbead is a giant rock landscape of hell. No foliage, no real river access, just no someplace I would spend any time at, which defeated the purpose of staying there. SKIP THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. What a joke. I am just glad I wasn't murdered and eaten by cats.

Pros: Neat lil property with mini golf, other amenities and access to river. Room was spacious and the check-in with gentleman was efficient and welcoming. Cons: Front office smells of cat urine. Beds are hard. There was a rude older lady that barked at me and my husband as we walked our leashed dogs on the property. She assumed we were NOT guests, then accused us of not mentioning our dogs at check-in. All not true. She demanded to know which room we were in, we told her and she said, ok that is a pet friendly room. Then spun on her heels and walked back into the office. She was the opposite of a gracious host. She definitely soured our stay.

This is a great value for the price. It's a, older, homey little resort with a great pool and super-friendly staff. Very laid back with pets allowed. They have fire pits available and we stayed in one of the hotel rooms where we were able to have a fire right out the back patio from our room. Families were playing on the lawn and the kids were perfectly safe to run around well into dark, swim in the pool, and have fun without worry of cars or strangers. I would definitley come back!

Nice room for a night or two (I was passing through on my way to Oregon from So Cal). I was in room 10. It felt spacious, especially travling alone. High ceilings with wood beams gave it a nice rustic feel. There is Laundry on one side and public bathroom (for the pool area maybe) on the other, so no direct neighbors to speak of (room had its own shower)… it was quiet. Very friendly staff. Pod coffee and tea in the room. Patio was sufficient. It had a table with a couple chairs and it was nice to chill with a drink after a long day on the road and just gaze out over the grass into the mountains. I’d stay here again.
