Short hike from parking lot. Once there ample shade water and places to sit and relax. Ruins easily viewed with various written narratives and maps. Bring your doggie. Highly recommend and kimmy gives 2 paws up.

An ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful and culturally enriching walk in the middle of nature. The short trail leading to The Wolf House ruins is pleasant and easy, making it accessible to visitors of all ages and fitness levels. Upon arrival at The Wolf House, you're greeted by the impressive size of the ruins, which give you a glimpse into the past and the grandeur of Jack London's ambitions. While you can't venture inside the ruins, there's a path that lets you walk around it. There's also a staircase leading to a mini observation deck that offers a unique vantage point. If you're a literature enthusiast, the museum at the start of the trail offers limited editions of Jack London's books at the store.

This house, museum and cottage so worth seeing and inspiring! Some hiking and elevation so wear sneakers!

Beautiful site nestled within the forests. Definitely worth a hike and a visit, to immerse in the beautiful surrounding nature and see the grand vision of Jack London before it got tragically burned down. Dogs are allowed on the trails.

If you want an intense morning workout start down by the Jack London Lodge and walk up a steep incline to the park. Signs will direct you to the trail or walking path to the shell of a once splendid home never fully realized. The townspeople have all sorts of sordid rumors of this family, some of which can be entertaining. Early light filtering through the structure, makes it come alive.

A truly awesome place in the California countryside. The back story of the ruined house leaves a haunting feeling on visiting in person, but the scenic walk up, redwood groves and impressive aesthetic of the leftover stonework is nothing but spectacular.

It was pretty interesting to hear all that they had to say about Mr. London's personal life and his beautiful property.

Although the museum is closed due to COVID restrictions, it was still a wonderful adventure for myself and my kids, ages 4 & 6. They loved the eucalyptus forest and pig palace. My son's favorite thing was the gravesite. The big house is a magnificent sight to behold. The info panels at each area really told a story of the vision Jack London had.
