This property was a dream. We loved the beautiful view, the rooms were clean, large outdoor patios with 2 chairs, the staff was polite and accommodating. It’s about a 25 minute drive to downtown Fortuna so close enough to visit during the day, but far enough that you aren’t in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Everything was just wonderful

This place was stunning. Really wish we could have had more time here. The trails were beautiful. The rooms were stunning. Staff was awesome and the spa was really a unique and peaceful place. It is a walk though from place to place but the staff is happy to help with their golf carts and very accommodating. We were fine to walk but just noting for people with mobility issues. If you’re fine to use there services i still think this is a gem worth staying at.
