Van Damme State Park Tours

Always so friendly. No more breakfast 😢

My husband and I went for our 3rd wedding anniversary. I booked it because of the beautiful photos of the rooms. After some more research I became very excited for our stay at the Weller house. I was personally contacted via text by the host (Summer who was great) on the day of arrival. They wanted to know what time I would be showing up. When I arrived, they had freshly brewed coffee waiting for us. We received a tour of the mansion and learned a lot about what makes the Weller house so special. Our room was so beautiful (we stayed in the Opal suite). Our bed was SO comfortable. I later learned that the mattress on our bed was made in Fort Bragg and might be the comfiest mattress in the entire mansion. We had a large corner jacuzzi tub in our room that was squeaky clean and ran well. The water pressure from the shower head was strong which is a small life luxury. The view from the tower was stunning and worth the climb lol. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the property needs some TLC. I saw quite a few cobwebs in the house. The garden was pretty but needed some maintenance. A lot of dead plants in pots and a little bit of clutter outside near the fire pit. Also, 3 giant boxes of toilet paper were clearly delivered or placed right next to the front door on the outside. We saw it upon arrival. By day 3 when we checked out, the toilet paper boxes were still there. The whole experience was so great we loved it so much and will be back again for sure.

I appreciated being able to bring my pup here and it was easy to get everywhere. It had become hot and missed being able to open any of the windows and a real coffee mug would have been best to add that extra touch!
