Fun place to stay for a casual weekend. The property is undergoing some renovation. The cafe food was okay, but not great. Our room had a broken window latch and the shower was difficult to adjust, so they gave us an option to change rooms. The grounds could be improved, but the natural beauty of the Santa Cruz mountains is hard to beat. Housekeeping staff found my wallet and they called me, which was FANTASTIC! We enjoyed the live music provided by local musicians.

Not as expected
We had high hopes because of the reviews. When we booked, there was no mention of construction or that half the lodge was closed. The shops, bar or restaurant was not open. Ice machine broken and a doorknob fell off. We did like the spacious rooms and towels, bedding and new carpet was nice. We tried to contact manager, with no success. The creek runs through the area that is closed. We prolly won't stay here again

The front staff was very nice. The town is super cute and quiet. Room was spacious and clean. The downfall, very very thin walls. Our upstairs neighbors were extremely loud and were apparently having a very good time. Kind of ruined our sleep but not the hotels fault. Happy the couple had their fun evening. lol

An Avg place to stay
Its a hotel. My first time staying here 3 yrs ago seemed better, but maybe because it was just an overnight. The people are fanastic. There were beer cans outside on the patio, but the room itself seemed clean. The bed was way too hard and uncomfortable, which with how amazingly confortable and cheap you can find mattresses these days on Amazon, I find it crazy that more hotels dont have better beds. The place is super close to a lot of great outdoor adventures though, which is why i picked it in the first place.
