However, due to our location nestled among ancient redwoods and the specific construction of certain historic units, signal strength varies. Note for Cabins 3 & 11b: Due to dense foliage and structural materials, these specific cabins may experience weaker signals and are recommended for guests looking to truly "unplug." For guests requiring the most consistent connection for work or messaging, the signal is strongest near the [Main Lodge/Office area].

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
