Being in the redwoods was a lovely reprieve from the city (it was lovely hearing the owls and frogs at night). It's also near enough to Aptos, that getting into town is quite easeful to grab dinner or a snack to bring back. I also appreciated the clear driving instructions provided.
The Yurt is cozy, and with the heater, is warm enough in the winter if you keep jackets on. The bedding makes for a very warm night. It's very slim in terms of amenities (just a mini fridge, and water dispenser, a few cups, a few drawers and two outdoor chairs) as is advertised. The wifi was very spotty so do not plan to utilize it. There was a tea bar advertised as well, which was not present during my stay. If you'd like hot water within the yurt, bring a camp stove as is suggested.
The outdoor showers near the shared pool area were lovely, even in the cold and had plenty of hot water.
The pool and hot tub area were very clean but because it's a shared space, I didn't have access to the hot tub as it was already in use by another group.
Check in and communication with the OM team was very easy and the team was very responsive.
Very much appreciated the massage and if I came with a larger group I would have booked the private sauna and hot tub as well.
Given the slim amenities in the yurt and no assurance you'll have space to use the communal spa area (depending on your pandemic comfort) and lack of Wifi, I'm not sure it's worth the value.
