The amenities were great and property was super clean. My only hesitation is to know before you travel: this is a drive-in, which I was not prepared for. Around 6 or 6:30 they started blaring music on the loud speaker, which lasted until the movie began at 8:30. If you're looking for a quiet stay like I was, look elsewhere.

This place is brand new. The rooms were clean (brand new) and the community kitchen was also clean and new. There was an ice machine and dishwasher and fridge as well as a new range. The community bathrooms for the Yurts were new and spacious. We enjoyed the yurt and would stay again.

Really fun spot! We stayed in a yurt - the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and updated. The temperature control was quite tricky with the pellet stove. But overall, I would recommend!

This is a very unique place and I really enjoyed my stay. I had a suite and it was very luxurious. I was facing the movie screen which was great on movie night as I could watch from my patio. My only issue was that an hour before the movie they started playing loud music on the speakers. I had just returned from an active day and was enjoying a few quiet moments with a book. There was no escaping all the noise, unlike the volume from the movie, which was reasonable. I was surprised because the owners were so considerate in other ways. There were blankets and folding chairs for the movie as well as free popcorn. They were very responsive when I texted with a question Also please be aware that there is no AC. There is a very strong, excellent ceiling fan over the bed that keeps you cool while sleeping but the room can get just a bit stuffy in warmer weather. The suites are beautiful and the bathroom very spacious. You are in the countryside but there is a good Mexican restaurant just five minutes away and Del Norte, a cute little town about 15. Overall, I loved this experience. I stayed two nights and wasn't ready to leave.
