Leggett Smithe Redwoods State Natural Reserve Hotels

"Great place to stay!"

"Shelter Cove is an absolute GEM, WAY off the beaten path. The hotel is in a prime location with beautiful views and direct access to black sands beaches, tide pools and even a lighthouse! The hotel is still being renovated, so it's not perfect. But the staff is helpful and the location is wonderful."

"This site was uniquely beautiful. Outside our screen door were two chairs at the edge of a small cliff overlooking the rugged coastline. We lost track of how much time we spent in these chairs. We saw the high tide. We saw the low tide. We saw large hawks swoop down low just in front of us. We watched deer as they sauntered right in front of our little cliff. We watched a baby seal play in the cove for nearly an hour. The weather was cool, the sea was tumultuous. That night in our room we fell asleep the steady roar of the ocean. And...there was a lovely cafe just 70 feet from our room. Now, the bad: You might find that the site used for pre-check-in to be difficult to use. For me it was a bad experience. My photos would not upload as the site kept rejectcing them. Finally I emailed the host and we took car of the pre-check-in photos through SMS. That was easy enough. They might want to find a frienlier pre-check-in process than the one I tired using at first."

"Nada"

"Nice motel in a small town. Lots of room and restaurant close by as well as grocery store. I would stay there again"

"This was my family’s 3rd time staying and had wonderful trip. The views and property is our favorite. I love to drink my coffee in the morning at the picnic table overlooking the bluff. The beach is amazing too! I never want to leave. It’s our home away from home and we hope to continue having our annual family vacations there. "

"Fine accommodations, restaurant, and staff."

"While planing a visit for my father’s celebration of life we found this gem. Perfect location (for our visit), amazing views, and the cleanest and most comfortable hot tub to be found. Located next to a bend in the river, you get bubbling brook wadding pool 20’ from a wonderful back deck. Clear instructions for everything. "

"You open the front door and there it is.....ocean view. Close to a private beach with tons of sealife. A perfect place to getaway"
