We enjoyed our stay at the Ryder Cabin. It is compact, very clean, and has everything guests need, including nice little touches. There is a plethora of games and we loved playing bumper pool. Melissa was very communicative and helpful and generously allowed us to plug in our electric car.
Although we knew there were other units on the property, we were a bit surprised that the cabin was so close to the other two cabins, and unfortunately, some of the guests were quite raucous and loud, imposing on the solitude we had expected to experience in the redwoods. Fortunately, we were out hiking in the nearby state park for most of the day so it wasn’t a big problem, and obviously would depend on who was occupying the other units.
There is a lot of to like about the location and it is obvious that a lot of care is going into making it comfortable and pleasant. It seems that the exterior of the Ryder Cabin is a work in progress --the sitting area looks out on gravel parking area with a bulldozer and the redwood trees are a bit farther off. Hopefully, some future landscaping might block the bulldozer and make it a bit more appealing.
We enjoyed a hike up the fire road and the location is great for exploring the area.
