We enjoyed our stay. Absolutely lovely setting, right in a state park with redwoods, trails, and a waterfall. Loved the lodge, with its rustic decor, and we enjoyed the gift shop, cafe, and restaurant. It's so convenient to have all of that right there. The rooms are pretty basic, but they have everything you need - though I would have liked a small table on the balcony to put a drink on. One issue - our room smelled very strongly of wood smoke when we arrived - I mean, sting your eyes heavy. I tried to air it out, but it continued to be very strong. I actually had a bit of a hard time sleeping because of it. Needless to say, we did not use the fireplace and create even more smoke! Other than that, it was all very nice.
