Fern River Resort  |  Cabin in Felton

The resort is in a beautiful spot in the woods and right near the San Lorenzo River. The staff are friendly and the check-in was smooth - after direct communication with the resort. We booked the two-bedroom cottage with a loft. Appreciated the full kitchen but do wish the resort would invest in some new towels and blankets. The towels were at least 10 years old as were the blankets and my son said the one on his bed did not smell pleasant. Overall though a great venue and will book again.

This a one and done for us. Way too much money per night for what you get. Our cabin was barely worth half that. When we arrived at about 2:30 per for a 3:00 pm check-in, the room was not ready. Okay, but it seemed clear that the room had not even been touched since the last guests checked out at 11 am as one employee walked to the cabin with cleaning supplies in hand. We left and came back about an hour later. No check in there. You grab your key off of a bulletin board and go to your cabin with no advisement. We walk into the cabin and there is a strange smell. Don't know what it is but what we do know is that there is an oily residue on all the surfaces in the bedroom. It appears cleaning the wood cabin bedroom includes spraying it with some sort of oil soap that didn't get wiped off. Our books and phones had to be wiped off with a rag I had in my car. The refrigerator is missing shelves. The foundation of the cabin is sinking in the back so you walk uphill from the bedroom to the front room. The "loft" has a mattress on the ground and is barely useable. A very uninviting plastic picnic table on a bed of rocks is your outdoor space. There is no way I would use the on site EV charger, not that I could anyways, as a non EV car was blocking the parking spot the entire time. Only service dogs allowed there but the on site staff have an aggressive German shepherd that barks at the guests. We burned our second booked night.

A lovely old fashioned resort bungalows in the redwoods. We were attending a concert nearby in Felton and the hotel was very conveniently located. Super easy checkin and check out. Very friendly hosts. I wish that I'd stayed for an additional day to properly enjoy tge setting.

This little cabin we stayed in was tucked in at the edge of the Redwoods, near Santa Cruz. This was a lovely location while traveling up the California coast.

My friend and I loved this property! Set amongst redwoods and lush greenery and along a river, our cabin was spacious and private. We had a bedroom, loft, futon couch, fireplace, full small kitchen, deck with chairs, picnic table and bbq grill. Check in was easy and staff was friendly. It was so soothing to sit on the deck and listen to the rushing water in the river, watching ducks fly by and stellar jays landing on the deck. Plus, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is right across the river! We can't wait to return and stay for more days!

This location is amazing! Felton is such a cute out of the way small town and only 20 min from Santa Cruz. The redwoods are such an amazing place to be in. It is instantly cooler and shady. The cabins here had just what we needed. We stayed in cabin 8 and it will be our request in the future when we go back. The river was right off our patio. The grounds are immaculate as well. The check in was super easy even though I had a problem with my card. The bed was foam and really comfortable. Everything is really close by and easy to get to. We will be back!

Beautiful location within walking distance to the state park. There’s a cute little river that runs through the back of the property. The location offers free use of games, volleyball, ping pong, board games, horseshoes and books.

Cozy, clean cabin surrounded by nature and close to local hiking trails. Great host easy process to book and arrive.

Booked three cabins for ten children, grand children and great grandchildren. We had one of the absolute best vacations ever!!! Loved it! A magnificent site and great resort!!! ❤️💓❤️

We loved our stay at Fern River Resort. Tucked beneath the trees, it felt peaceful and fully immersed in nature. Our cabin was clean, cozy, and warm, we lit the fireplace in the evening and unwound after a beautiful train ride through the redwoods. Sitting by the river at dusk was one of those simple, perfect moments you wish you could stretch out a little longer. The location is ideal, just down the road from Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, making it easy to explore while still feeling tucked away. A quiet, grounding place we’d absolutely return to.
