Dean Creek Resort

Great place for family and friends and dogs  Also river bed to ride at a on

The motel part of this resort is something out of the past... it is an old motel with small rooms...however, the rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. I would guess the motel was built in the 1950's. The bathrooms are a little old and small. They have flatscreen TV's. One can park their car right in front of the unit (I love that!). The grounds of the motel are quite expansive...the units have little back patios, there is a nice-looking pool, and there is a campground on the property.

This is an amazing property. It was beautiful and quiet. We stayed in cabin 1 and could see the river from our porch. Easy river access as well as a sauna. The sweet lady at the front desk was very accommodating and gifted us a bag of ice when we ran out. The cabin we cute and quaint, with basic cooking necessities. It was just the relaxing break we needed. Can’t wait to plan my next trip back!

Pros: Neat lil property with mini golf, other amenities and access to river. Room was spacious and the check-in with gentleman was efficient and welcoming. Cons: Front office smells of cat urine. Beds are hard. There was a rude older lady that barked at me and my husband as we walked our leashed dogs on the property. She assumed we were NOT guests, then accused us of not mentioning our dogs at check-in. All not true. She demanded to know which room we were in, we told her and she said, ok that is a pet friendly room. Then spun on her heels and walked back into the office. She was the opposite of a gracious host. She definitely soured our stay.

Nice room for a night or two (I was passing through on my way to Oregon from So Cal). I was in room 10. It felt spacious, especially travling alone. High ceilings with wood beams gave it a nice rustic feel. There is Laundry on one side and public bathroom (for the pool area maybe) on the other, so no direct neighbors to speak of (room had its own shower)… it was quiet. Very friendly staff. Pod coffee and tea in the room. Patio was sufficient. It had a table with a couple chairs and it was nice to chill with a drink after a long day on the road and just gaze out over the grass into the mountains. I’d stay here again.

We have stayed at Dean Creek multiple times and enjoy it every time. This time, we got a cabin with a full kitchen, a tent site for our boys, and an RV site for some friends. It's very close to the Avenue of the Giants. We made use of the jacuzzi every night. It was quiet at night which can be hard to find at a campground. The staff always takes great care of us.
