Cabin Colony

About

Cabin Colony provides an authentic back-to-nature lodging experience within the 850-acre Hendy Woods State Park. The four one-room cabins offer a step up from tent camping while maintaining a primitive character: each includes bunk beds, a table with chairs, and a wood-burning stove for heat, but no electricity or running water. Firewood is available for purchase at the park. Guests must bring all bedding, cooking gear, and drinking water, though potable water and restroom/shower facilities are located nearby. The park protects two virgin old-growth coast redwood groves, Big Hendy (80 acres) and Little Hendy (20 acres), with trees that may exceed 1,000 years old. About five miles of trails wind through the park, including the wheelchair-accessible Discovery Trail through Big Hendy Grove. The Hermit Hut Trail leads to the former dwelling of a Russian immigrant who lived in a hollowed-out redwood log for 18 years. Situated eight miles northwest of Boonville and a half-mile south of Highway 128, Hendy Woods is warmer and less foggy than coastal redwood parks, making it an appealing year-round destination. The surrounding Anderson Valley offers wineries, farms, and the quirky local dialect known as Boontling.

Directions

From Highway 101, take Highway 128 west toward the coast. Continue approximately 8 miles northwest of Boonville. Turn south on Philo-Greenwood Road; the park entrance is about half a mile on the right.
