Loved our stay at Tahquitz Pine Retreat! It was the perfect place for us and we loved enjoying the pickleball courts and walking around the retreat.
Perfectly quaint, quiet, clean and oozing with charm. Family friendly, felt very safe yet rustic and cozy in the woods. We were pleasantly surprised by the grounds and how pristine everything was. We attended a wedding nearby and didn't have a chance to enjoy all the amenities or dine at The Peak but we will be back and look forward to more quality time on the property!
Love little hideaway in the mountains. Everyone was friendly and everything worked in tbe room. The room was cleaned and the bed was comfortable. I will be returning again soon.
Great little place to stay. Room was clean and beds are comfy. Our thermostat did not work probably so it was hard to keep the room comfortable temps is the only complaint from me .
