When is the best time to go to Freshwater?

The best time to go to Freshwater really depends on what you're hoping to experience, but generally, the summer months from June to August offer the most pleasant weather for outdoor activities. During summer, you'll find warmer temperatures and less rain, which is ideal for exploring the nearby redwood forests, hiking, or spending time along the coast. The days are longer, allowing for more time to sightsee. This period is particularly good for families looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the area without worrying too much about the weather. For those who prefer fewer crowds and don't mind cooler, potentially wetter weather, the shoulder seasons of May or September can be lovely. The foliage is often at its best, and you might find more tranquil experiences in the parks.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Freshwater hotel for you.

The Redwood Riverwalk, A Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The pea gravelled side yard was a wonderful area to hang out in. But the 3 days of my stay were interrupted, nightly, by late ( way after midnight) room holders… very loud and intrusive. Drinking and smoking."

Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very charming and has a lot of history. We loved walking around the lobby and looking at all the photos of the VIPs who stayed there throughout the years. Our 2nd floor room was a little dated and a homeless person with a broken down vehicle and trailer was right outside our window. They were cussing very loudly at other people in the middle of the night and their dog was barking which disrupted our sleep. There’s no AC so we had to have our window open a little bit for some cool air because the room was warm. Unfortunately, the two glasses in our room were dirty, food left by a prior guest was still in the refrigerator and there was trash in one of the dresser drawers – yuck! It is a shame that the restaurant/bar and second restaurant for breakfast is not open, we certainly would have had dinner there. Breakfast was your typical continental breakfast – donuts, muffins, yogurt, cereal, frozen breakfast sandwiches to eat in the microwave. Parking was a small lot adjacent to the hotel and a larger lot across the street. Both were fenced in and they locked the parking lot up at midnight."
