We have stayed at Fern River over the New Years weekend 4 times in the past 7 years. It is a great escape from the craziness of San Francisco. The cabins are no frills but you have everything you need for a relaxing stay in the quiet majestic redwoods including a full kitchen (although you do need to provide a... More

Probably not prime time for visiting this place, I was returning to my former home town for a party with old friends. I lived nearby and had always wanted to stay in one of these cabins, so this was the perfect excuse. Being alone and booking for just one night (Friday) they put me in Cabin 12, actually a room...

We love this place and stay here whenever we can. The location is great and is conveniently located in the town of Felton and just a short drive from Scotts Valley. The San Lorenzo River and the redwoods create a nice backdrop and just across the river is Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. There are 12 cabins I believe and... More

We jjust returned from a 4 night stay at Fern River Resort. We had such a great time and would highly recommend it to anyone just wanting to kick back and relax a bit. We stayed in Cabin 9 which had an amazing river view - you could hear the river at night which was so relaxing. It was also... More

For its hotel/motel class, this is a great find. The cabins are rustic and very basic. If you love this area like I do for the nature surrounding it, you will like this place. It was quiet and peaceful...just what I needed. It would be great for families or solo retreats. If you want something more luxurious, I would look... More

We recently spent 4 wonderful days at Fern River Resort. Everything was perfect from the check in to check out. We stayed here several years ago and loved it then, but since then Dan (the owner) has remodeled most of the cabins and they're better than ever. Very clean comfortable, great kitchen and bathroom, flat screen TV, propane fireplace and... More

This was a great last minute find for my husband and I while traveling the CA coast and then into the Sana Cruz mountains.The Cabins are very clean and surrounded redwoods within a well kept property next to the river/stream. It is great for families with small children or teens. The owner was friendly and kind and the plums we... More
