Fern River Resort earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its stunning redwood setting, river access, and well-maintained, characterful cabins that feel genuinely removed from everyday life. Most guests are willing to overlook the rustic quirks — ageing fixtures, modest kitchen supplies, and occasional shower or lighting issues — as part of the charm. Those seeking polished hotel-level amenities or attentive on-site staff may find the self-sufficient nature of the resort a minor drawback.
- Shower issues: too small, slippery floor, malfunctioning temperature or pressure
- Kitchen inadequately stocked (no kettle, no measuring cups, no coffee/paper towels)
- Harsh or poor interior lighting
- Inconsistent or minimal staff presence on-site
- Beds uncomfortable for some; worn mattresses
“Location. Location. Location. This place is nestled right in the redwoods next to a river. It was immaculately clean and very quiet.”
“It is tucked away in the redwoods and lush ferns and flowers abound. It is nice to walk down to the little river that runs along the back.”
“You feel a little like you are glamping, while still being close to amenities. Over all its a cool place to spend a few days or a week.”
“Nicest pillows i've ever slept on! i loved the energy of the whole resort, the self serving element to it.”
“It's a bit pricy, not everyone could afford. Under than that the cabin was perfect — AMAZING RIVER SOUND.”
