Nestled among towering redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Brookdale Lodge has welcomed travelers since 1903. From Presidents to Hollywood royalty, their halls have echoed with laughter, music, and the gentle sound of Clear Creek.
What began as Judge J.H. Logan’s Minnehaha Hotel transformed into California’s second-most popular resort. Herbert Hoover fished from the Brook Room bridge, Marilyn Monroe called their suite her home away from home, and big band legends filled their dance hall with unforgettable melodies.
Today, after a loving restoration, we blend that storied past with modern comfort—offering you a retreat where history lives, nature embraces, and memories are made.
