I LOVED this motel. Clean room, spacious, personal cabins, ping pong table, river, tetherball, volleyball net, oh & very good water pressure. The only aspect I didnt like was the service. In my experience I felt that the service was somewhat rude/mean & distant. Their office hours only go 'till 6pm except for emergencies which was a definite annoyance. But... More

The cabins are very simple, but they are right in front of the small river. Surroundings are packed with redwoods. Very good vibes and a stone's throw from Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Good value for the stay.

Took us an hour to get here from the Bay Area and yet it felt like we were in the Sierras. The cabin is immaculately clean and very comfortable - everything worked. Too many signs everywhere for my taste - could be consolidated onto one sheet of 'advisories'. We had a large deck in the sun with the sound of... More

The front desk guy was very accommodating when we called and asked if we could check in at 10pm due to traffic. The next day, the lady at... More

Poor rating due to RUDE staff. My family has been staying here for years. There’s a lot to love- the location on the river is great. You are super close to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park with lots of hiking and old growth redwoods. Also close to Roaring Camp Railroads. It’s only a 15-minute drive to the beaches in Santa... More

Pros (not many): - Inexpensive for as much room as you get for your $ (That is if you're in 11a or 11b) - Room had fridge, range, sink, etc - Very quaint location in Felton, CA Cons: - It took LITERALLY 20+ Minutes to get the clerk to spell my name correctly (Trust me, its a common one) -... More

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
