Mike, sounds like you made the most of it - those trails and then straight into the spa is the perfect combo. Great to have you and your crew here.

The house was lovely and tidy - it was clean, warm and smelt ok. Location was central to where we needed to travel each day. It had everything we needed for our stay. Communication with the property manager was timely and clear. Overall, we had a great stay - thank you!
Loved the location, house was clean and beds comfortable. Kitchen was well set up,apart from we couldnt find a plug for the sink.Also the front door was sometimes hard to unlock.
Perfect for us, very comfortable, very clean. On the road to the lakes, short drive to town, across the road from the forest. Kids liked to watch the big tv in the outhouse. Thank you for having us.
We had a fantastic five days staying at Highfield. The layout and space worked really well for our families and I loved the proximity to the Redwoods forest and other activities. Having a spa was an added bonus which the kids loved and helped when the weather was less than ideal. The service and communication was wonderful and I really appreciated the help when we left a couple of items behind! Great internet and well appointed kitchen. Would stay here again
Great space, works really well. May not hace read the property details correctly, didn't realize 4th room was a sleepout but was also a great space.
Would be good if locks were keyed alike and supplied 2 keys for easier security when locking up at night.
Great space for myself and teens to get away. Loved the indoor outdoor flow. Lovely surprise to have the heater on the patio in this evening. Spa was gorgeous to enjoy at this time also. Appreciated having access to the second/sleepout space as we found the shower loads more enjoyable to use. Also loved having access to the dryer as one of the days were raining on and off. Overall great space, lovely bedrooms and comfy living with all kitchen appliances available for use.
Great place to stay, really enjoyed our visit. The hottub was a highlight! We just booked the main house for 4 adults and it was quite spacious.
They had all the cooking gear that you need and very basic supplies like oil, salt and pepper as described. The place seemed clean and all dishes were clean.
The only negative is the sound proofing around the bathroom. Essentially there is none so it makes it a bit awkward to use the toilet at times. Especially for people sleeping in the room that backs up to the toilet. Going bathroom in the middle of the night would be quite loud and easily heard from that room.
Would definitely book this place again!

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
On the positive, great communication and loved the spa. Unfortunately the place was thick with dust and cobwebs and so much hair all over the bathroom floor and hair clogged shower ruined our experience.
The sleepout was terrible! We tried everything so get rid of the old musty damp smell but could not shake it. It was strong and vile.
With a bit of TLC this could be amazing but it certainly isn't at the moment.
The location and cleanliness was fantastic. Would have been helpful to have more cooking utensils, but cutlery was good.Spa was a great temperature and nice that it was covered but the water was musty and probablly needed to be replaced.Room sizes were great but master bed was very firm (and I generally like a firm bed) and it would have been good to swap out one of the queens for a set of singles but we made it work.Location was brilliant and overall good value for money. Very clean!Thanks!
