Why Stay Here

The Fab+ Tent measures 14'×16' and sleeps families on canvas stretched over wood framing, with electricity and zippered net windows. Each tent has its own fire pit outside. Guests walk a short path through three private acres to reach the Grand Hall and communal bathrooms, then return to their deck as the redwoods darken overhead.

  • Fab+ Tent: 14'×16' canvas on a raised deck, sleeps families

The Experience

Morning coffee happens on the individual deck, looking up through the canopy. Afternoons are spent at the fire pit or walking into Guerneville for provisions. Wi-Fi runs to each tent, but most guests use it only to check in before disappearing into the forest for the rest of the stay. At night, woodsmoke drifts between the platforms.

The Setting

Surrey Resort setting

Surrey Resort occupies three acres of redwood forest in the Russian River Valley, with each tent platform built high enough off the ground that pine needles collect underneath. The Dome Tent is a 13-foot structure with panoramic windows; the Fab Tent holds two twin beds in a 14'×16' footprint. Guerneville sits a few minutes down the road, and the Russian River is close enough to reach on foot.
