Lazy Girl’s Guide
“It was cozy, amazingly clean, quiet, and perfect..The place is aptly named; every day there were dozens of elk grazing in the meadows surrounding the cabins. I was ridiculously happy … Loved it, loved it.”
“The best vacation so far!. Not only were the Redwoods amazing, but the cabins were just perfect! On our last couple days there were elk everywhere! I literally ate a quite breakfast on the porch within 50 or so feet or nearly 20 elk! Plus the tour guides were fantastic. We did a full day and a half day tour and I have to say everyone was amazing.
If anyone is going to visit the Redwoods, I would HIGHLY recommend these cabins.”
“Location, location, location … and clean. This is a very convenient location for visiting Redwoods State and National Parks. Our cabin (Johnny Redwood) was very clean and spacious. All you need to bring is food (we flew into Medford so we bought a cooler and shopped there) and shampoo, all soaps provided including laundry soap. We found ourselves running the dishwasher when it wasn’t actually full due to a lack of glasses, but otherwise the kitchen was decently stocked. The actual setting of the cabins has about all the ambience of a parking lot. We were not bothered by road noise; the only thing that woke us up was the sounds the elk made when they arrived very early in the morning. Needless to say, that is not a complaint! We would definitely stay here again.”
“Loved our stay! Great location, comfortable, clean, and roomy accommodations, and the elk herd hung around for a couple days.”
“Fantastic two days. Elk, forests, huge trees! Who could ask for more. Thanks!”
“What a wonderful place to spend Christmas with our extended family. Despite the rainy weather, we still hit the hiking trails and warmed up in the hot tub! We’ll be back!”
“We loved the cabin, wonderful place and we will be back next year!”
“Beautiful cabin! We had a great time and It’s nice that the cabin came with everything and more . . .We will be back! Thanks for making this a home away from home. P.S. Yeah it is awesome! ”
“We loved this home-exceeds our expectations. Wish we could just live here… Definitely coming back, we can’t wait to see the beautiful redwoods again! Thank you. ”
“Clean, cozy, comfortable, well-equipped cabin. Perfect home base for a week’s hiking. Recommendation to all September guests: Buy a box of Bisquick, pick blackberries and make fruit cobbler! We were for a week and hiked every day. This was a wonderful place to come home to everyday. I do recommend hiking the James Irvine Trail (Prairie Creek State Park) if you only pick one trail to hike while you are here!!!!”
“We enjoyed our stay. It is an amazing view. It was our first time here and we will defiantly be back. The cabin has a good home feel and I like the idea of having 6 cabins in a line and nothing but open space around makes it feel very friendly with the neighbors. Great stay and fun activities-thanks for the memories that will last a life time. ”
“We loved the cabin! It has all the comforts of home. There are not too many places where you have elk in your front yard!! This is a beautiful part of California. We hope to come again. Fern Canyon is a must do-and close by!!”
“I just wanted to send a note and thank you for the wonderful cabin and stay at Elk Meadows. The cabin was immaculate and you guys had thought of everything, including an emergency kit if the power were to go out!
I’ve been to 19 countries in 3 continents, and have stayed in a variety of accommodations, and I have to say, hands down, you guys are best in class. I cannot think of a single thing you could improve on. Just keep it up!
Your cabins have us planning another trip to the Redwoods, just to use Elk Meadows as “base camp”!”
“Very happy with the house and useful items. We all enjoyed seeing so many elk in the front yard and areas behind the blackberry bushes. Great location, enjoyed the lagoons and fern canyon. We saw a Bald Eagle on the beach trail”
“We had three ‘cabins’ (better outfitted than any house). A fantastic place for our reunion’s needs. Close for companionship, but with plenty of space and wonderful places to visit nearby. The elk in the backyard were a unexpected treat!”
“Very special and peaceful place. Second time staying here and even better than the first! Lovely cabins.”
“This cabin is beautiful and had everything we could need. We were very impressed with your attention to detail. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you. Also, the people working here we very helpful and thoughtful when we had questions about the area.”
“I loved this cabin!!!! P.S. There was Easter Candy!”
“This is a beautiful and relaxing house. We loved our stay here. The boys loved walking up to see the Elk and I loved hearing the frogs at night. We will be back.”
“This is an awesome place place for family getaway vacation!!! Nice and clean in every sq. inch of the place. Hats off to Donna for a wonderful job. Will be here next time.”
“Beautiful cabin! So impressed with cleanliness and décor. So happy to have stayed here even if it was only for one night. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family. Hope to come back and visit soon.”
“The cabin was perfect for us. Cozy, beautifully furnished and conveniently located. During the winter, it seemed like we has most of the area to ourselves. Fern Canyon & Tall Trees Trail were wonderful. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and we will be back as well.”
“I loved this place. It has comfy beds and a full kitchen and laundry. I don’t think I have ever seen such nice guest cabins anywhere before.”
