We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here, and loved every minute. When we arrived the property had not been cleaned due to a miscommunication, but the manager got it sorted and an amazing cleaning team came almost immediately. They did a quick, thorough job. The manager made it up to us with a bottle of wine and refunded part of the cleaning fee, which we really appreciated.
Staying creekside was the most magical for us. Our 9 year-old spent hours finding tadpoles and splashing around, and the sound of the water relaxed us. A local highlight was Gold Coast Bakery, which we visited every single day. We took advantage of the short drive to the coast, which features many hiking spots.
The cleanliness and amenities were outstanding. We felt right at home. Something we also enjoyed was how it was much cooler at the property due to the redwood canopy. It was maybe 5-10 degrees cooler than when we drove out to the main road. The only downside to this was that our swim clothes and towels wouldn't really dry out. It was a small price to pay for an amazing trip.
