This property is so beautiful and the perfect summer getaway for a little family! ❤️

Beautiful, clean, cozy, and amazing stay! We enjoyed it and we will definitely be coming back again.

If you are a person who loves 5-star luxury hotels with modern amenities, this ain’t it. However, if you love being surrounded by nature and a clean and functional living space for sleeping and eating between your nature fun, this is THE place. We only stayed a night while passing through the area in this cozy old school cabin with a river in the backyard. We picked up some grocery provisions and had a great time! In this crazy and chaotic world, it was a rare chance to breathe deeply and listen to the river, birds, and cabin neighbors enjoying family and friends. Musty old cabin some reviewers say? Open the windows, let the sun in and enjoy the cross breeze - old cabins like to breathe, too.

Beautiful, Quaint, cozy! Truly enjoyed! Thank you!

Perfect getaway if you want peace and quiet among majestic redwoods. Enjoyed the short walk to the river to listen to the rippling sound of water. Easy access to Highway 9.

Nestled within the Big Trees, this is a hidden gem. Cabins are quaint, lovely and near to mny special spots. Santa Cruz coast just 8 miles away, yet here, you are a cozy in the woods. Very special place

There was a power outage the morning of our departure meaning we had to shower, dress and pack for a long haul flight in the near dark. No hair drying either. The setting otherwise is amazing- surrounded by the huge redwoods.

Absolutely mind blowing gorgeous

Beautiful property with so many things to do very close by. Loved the quiet space.

Awesome

Property is quiet and has nice units. However , the Bed wasn’t that comfortable in our unit.

The couch is not very comfortable for sleeping. The internet was down for our three day stay. Cell service is minimal at best. All that aside, the place is beautiful and the river is a nice teat. Ride the steam train while you are there.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Fern River Resort in Felton, CA, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a serene and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. One of the standout features of Fern River Resort is its tranquil environment. Nestled among towering redwoods and overlooking the serene San Lorenzo River, the resort offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll through the forest trails, or simply enjoying a quiet moment on your private deck, the natural beauty surrounding the resort creates a sense of calm that is truly rejuvenating. The rustic charm of the accommodations adds to the overall appeal of the resort. The cabins are cozy yet spacious, with tasteful decor that complements the natural surroundings. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle toot of the roaring camp train was a delightful experience that reminded me of the simple joys of life. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat to unwind or a romantic getaway immersed in nature's beauty, Fern River Resort is the perfect destination. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, friendly atmosphere and a chance to reconnect with nature.

Beautiful grounds, clean cabin!

The room was stuffy and therefore smell bad. They don’t provide paper towel, but instead provided cloth towels with gross stain. Though it’s nice to hear river from the room and the environment around the cabin was clam, quiet and descents. The overall experience was poor. I didn’t even want to take any pictures as it just gross me out.

Very clean and quiet resort with excellent and easy checkin/out process. We’d definitely go again.

We enjoyed ourselves and will go back again. Some of the beds need to be replaced and 1 was nice. The owner was very good and helpful. The pictures don't actually do it justice.

Loved the setting in the middle of a redwood grove! Perfect place to get some R and R and enjoy Mother Nature!

The cabin was set in a quiet, tranquil place. It was easy to check-in and check-out. We were glad that there were many options of things to see within the park. The one thing that we didn't like was the size of the shower stall, but we made do.

our stay at fern resort was nothing short of perfect. we loved the scenery around the resort, the neighbors were nice and peaceful, there were games and sports equipment for guests, and the cabins themselves were adorable. Our only complaint was that the kitchen stove is an older style gas stove, and requires a flame to start. We were unaware of this, and had to go buy a lighter/matches. Lovely stay, would definitely stay again!

This was such a beautiful and serene

Beautiful location! Right on the San Lorenzo River in the midst of some big redwoods. We stayed in 11A, which is just lovely. Two teenagers in our group slept in the upper loft, which is accessible by spiral staircase, and has a skylight to gaze up at the redwoods or stars. My partner and I both felt like the mattress in the bedroom was better quality than the one we have at home! We slept great! We had one issue during our stay on a cold and rainy weekend. The gas fireplace went out, which heats the unit. We let the manager know, and they called a repair person right away. We were gone most of the day, and were hoping it would be fixed when we got back. Unfortunately, the repairman had to go home to get some extra tools, so it took him until into the evening to get it fixed. In the end, we had heat again before nightfall, which we were super appreciative of. Know that this is a no frills sort of place. Your room will be super clean when you check in, but there is no maid service during your stay. You can ask the front desk for extra towels or other things that you need. The kitchen has all the cookware and utensils that you need, but don't expect to find things like spices, foil, plastic bags, etc. The rule book in the cabin is a bit intimidating, but in the end, we found everyone who worked there to be super chill. We look forward to staying her again, maybe in the summer next time.

This was our fourth visit, and it was hands-down the best. Fern River Resort is a national treasure.

Property was very warm and easy to navigate. Impressed by the high quality pots and pans left in the kitchen cabinets and came in handy. The resort overall was beautiful and would definitely consider staying again.

Best vibe ever, and so quirky and fun.

The area and grounds was just beautiful!

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean and cozy. We had never been to Felton before, but we would definitely come again and stay here.

The bed in Cabin 12 was really uncomfortable —the side closest the window was very spongy and felt like the frame slats were broken(?) but the side nearest the bedroom felt more supportive and the mattress was much more comfortable. Other than that we throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back, albeit in a different cabin!

Property was amazing. Love the sound of the river. Place was very clean and cozy. Stood in 11A. You have a shared wall from 11B and you can hear EVERYTHING. Would definitely stay again. Also main bedroom bed kinda pulls to the middle. So I kept rolling towards my husband.

our stay was really nice. clean and comfy property. The only drawback for us was that they had a large booking for a wedding the week-end before and silverware, bowls, etc had been all swapped to other cabins, so we did not have enough. However after letting them know they apoligized and brought us what we needed. normally they had more staff to check all cabins inventory but we came thhe day after.

Beautiful, peacful, and fun everything we wanted for our vacation. We will definetely stay here again.

Stayed here twice now. Its beautiful. Hiking. Biking. On the creek. Peaceful. Not far from Santa Cruz.
