Headline: 🌲 Help us pick your perfect night’s sleep! 🌲

At Fern River Resort, we know there is nothing better than waking up in the redwoods feeling totally refreshed. We’ve been reading your feedback, and as part of our 2026 cabin refreshes, we are upgrading mattresses across the resort!

But here’s the thing—everyone sleeps differently. Some love a "cloud," and some need a "board." Since these cabins are for you, we want you to vote on what we bring in next.

Help us choose the "Official Mattress of the Redwoods" below! 👇

Option A: The Goldilocks (Medium-Firm Hybrid) reply

Description: A mix of supportive coils and pressure-relieving foam. Best for all-around comfort.

Option B: The Luxury Cloud (Plush/Soft)

Description: Extra cushioning for that "sinking in" feeling after a long day of hiking.

Option C: The Traditional Support (Firm)

Description: Solid support for back health and those who prefer a flatter, cooler sleep surface.

VOTE BY REACTING OR COMMENTING:
☁️ = Luxury Cloud (Soft)
🌲 = Goldilocks (Medium-Firm)
🧱 = Traditional Support (Firm)

Where history meets you.
​Watch closely as Gold Gulch Creek rushes down to join the San Lorenzo River right across our beach. This isn't just a beautiful confluence; it’s a site steeped in local legend. In 1853, a massive "Golden Boulder" was discovered just upstream in Gold Gulch, valued at nearly $35,000—that’s over a million dollars in today’s money! 💰🌲
​While the "gold rush" of the 1850s was short-lived, the real treasure remains: the incredible power and beauty of our rising river. The recent light storms have the water singing and the redwoods glowing. Whether you're a history buff or a nature lover, there’s nothing quite like watching the "meeting of the waters" from our shores.
​Come for the legends, stay for the peace. 🛖✨
