Very welcoming environment, loved the old fashioned hotel, with upgrades!
The room was stunning with a meld of 1940s style and updates. The bed was so comfortable I’d consider buying that brand for my home. The staff were friendly and very kind to our dog who even got to pick a toy. The grounds are beautiful and take you back in time.
Staff was very nice and accommodating. Decent size parking lot. I was there for a wedding reception and stayed one night. The heater in the room wasn’t working so they brought up a nice portable heater that worked very well and kept the room toasty warm. I enjoyed staying at the Scotia Lodge.
Very kind and helpful desk staff! Loved the drink upon arrival.

It is a very unique lodge: beautiful rooms: we found everything we needed and the room was very clean. The hotel left some alcohol samples in the room, which is a great touch, along with apple juices and chocolates. The staff was extremely friendly, and accommodating.
Great stay for a couple with pups wanting to see the redwoods on our way south. Very accommodating and happy to see that this building was revived. Wish we had not been too sleepy to try the bar!
Scotia Lodge truly is a gem. The place was meticulously restored. The staff was helpful and friendly. Make sure to read about the history of this place!
Very interesting and beautiful inn. And the town of Scotia has an interesting back story. Great base for exploring Northern California redwoods. We stayed there two nights. I would highly recommend.
This property was absolutely beautiful. All of the rooms were unique and very clean. The staff was amazing and very hospitable. Sarah was great with helping me plan out my daughter’s 30th birthday celebration. I would highly recommend staying there.
Beautiful historic building. A tad Steven King The Shining about it though but it a good way. Nice people working the desk and bar downstairs. Clean and comfortable. Market right across the street. Coffee shop a short drive away. We were happy to be staying close to the Avenue of the Giants.
