Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat.

Fern River Resort

8/10 Good

"The setting for the cabin was great…easily accessible to Henry Cowell state park and the downtown area of Felton. If you want a cabin feel in nature, this is your place. The cabin itself is rustic but has everything you need plus amenities like soap, shampoo, dish soap, coffee filters, etc. The cabin was very clean and it was nice to have a porch and a parking spot next to the cabin. The registration person was friendly and very accommodating. Our only concern was that our cabin futon could use a replacement…but other than that, it was an enjoyable stay."
