As others have mentioned, (some) of the primary staff are in fact rude. If you read through some of the 3 star and below reviews you’ll see plenty of comments regarding this specific staff (they’ Be aware that the walls are paper thin. You’ll hear everything from the people above and to the sides of you along with the rooms down the hall. It sounded like the people above me were having a wrestlemania match. Same for the people down the hall. It really is WILDLY loud. This is a major disruption for a “quiet getaway”…which is kind of the point for this particular place that has no TV’s in their rooms. Reading through some of the other posters, I saw that the owner responded with how they’re aware and working on it. In “fairness,” they do provide you with earplugs and a white noise machine, so it seems like they’re taking steps to make your stay more comfortable. Lol. The shower was definitely in the top 2 smallest showers I’ve ever been in. It’s really difficult to wash your body when there’s no room to move away from the water. The water pressure was terrible but that came as no surprise given the location. What did come as a surprise was the heated water. I was there for 2 nights and the hot water ran out each night/morning within 2 minutes, which then requires you to wash really quickly because the water pressure is terrible you end up washing yourself off in cold water.  This place was a bummer (bc it looked so fun) but they’re not at their price point. Consider your money.

The property is serene and lovely to walk around, however rooms are not soundproof at all. Peaceful property, but not peaceful sleeping. We heard every step of people above us (children running until they went to sleep) and toddler's songs on electronic devices at 6:00am. Beds were comfy. No closets/places to hang clothes.

Perfect place to enjoy nature without needing to sleep in a tent. Rooms are clean and modern, staff are friendly and helpful, and common areas include fire pit (and complimentary smores), sauna, and indoor sitting spaces with board games, books, and a record player. Rooms have mini-fridges and kettles, and there is a microwave and filtered water in the common area. Understand ahead of time that you will in a state park in a relatively remote area, so plan ahead on which meals you will eat at the property restaurant, which you’ll eat in nearby towns, and bring food for the rest as you might for a glamping trip.

Staff were lovely. Would love to return for a longer stay. Personally I think the extra fee is a bit much- most of the things provided are usually included anyway at a decent hotel.

Quiet retreat in the woods

The Lodge sits on beautiful property with several walking trails. All the front desk staff were solidly indifferent during all our interactions (housekeeping were very friendly). The beds are incredibly comfortable and the area is very quiet. The rooms are a bit over-engineered. Everything (coffee pot, tea kettle, etc) are just a bit more challenging to use than they need to be, hence the binder of instructions. And despite all the thought that went into the rooms, the toilet paper roll hangs over the toilet, making it difficult to use both (HA!).

beautiful setting. camp fire pit and smores kit are a plus though it felt a bit awkward with a big party already there with wine snacks kids and dog. rooms are on the small side where you are right on top of the furniture, so it's better to use the lounge chairs outside. very charming location otherwise.

Lovely lodge hotel in the middle of a historic nature park. We booked the suite which was perfect for the three of us. Lovely little details such as local coffee, overall great for the price. Be aware though there was no aircon so when we arrived the room was really hot. And although coffee and fruit are offered (free!) there is no breakfast although they have a small shop you can buy items from.

Beautiful but a little noisy

This is a beautiful part of Marin. Breathtaking views, somewhat remote. If you want maximum privacy and most of all a quiet night's sleep, ask for a room that doesn't have a window facing the fire pit!! Otherwise you are at the mercy of the revelers that gather outside your window and/or wake up early and have conversations in the courtyard. Sometimes the doors stick and you can hear them slamming in the rooms adjacent to yours. This and the noisy fire pit/courtyard was the only down-side to this place! The staff are incredibly friendly, and it has a very welcoming, cozy and positive vibe.

There was a $25 experience fee that neither the staff or the business openly share so that customers aren’t surprised when they see it on their receipt. I didn’t mind paying it although I don’t feel like the lodge provided an experience worth $25 except maybe for the sauna - i just didn’t understand why they feel it’s a given. Now had they converted the abandoned building overgrown with dead & alive planted a few yards away past the lodge into some “haunted house” or “historical” site type of attraction, like pruned the area and made the abandonment intentional then that would justify the “experience” fee, at least for me. If the abandoned building isn’t technically part of the lodge then it should be fenced out of view or bordered out until it is made to look presentable.
The life size chess was a highlight for me that’s hidden away in between lodges.
