It’s our second time staying here and it was peaceful and relaxing as always. The office staff is wonderful and so friendly. We can’t wait to come back!
Very clean room and amazingly kept property! Staff was super helpful at check-in recommending a local favorite restaurant that served full menu later in the evening. And then check out staff was very helpful in directing us to the trailhead of the hike we wanted.
Can’t wait to come back!
The place was clean, staff were nice and friendly, a lot of things to do, they have a pool, pickle ball court, basketball court, playground for the kids and a few restaurants inside the place.
From the moment we drove up to the property we knew we were going to enjoy our stay. Check in process was quick and the lady helping us was so nice! We stayed in a family cabin and it was perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids). We only stayed one night so we didn’t take advantage of all of the amenities, except for the fire pit at night, which was so nice. We will definitely come up again for a longer stay.
Considering being in top of the mountain, everything was good. The only thing needed some improvement, hours of operation for gym and other amenities should be extended to 10 pm.
The property is gorgeous! The pool was great. The beds are amazing! We know why you put the mattress ordering info in the binder! We only stayed one night but will certainly be back if when we are in the area!
Thank you for the most excellent stay. We really enjoyed ourselves at the pool and were able to use the basketball courts as well. The interior of the rooms were well kept and very straightforward.
Loved the golf cart assistance. Hilly property difficult with a cane.
Would suggest room furniture change. Bed frame was almost up against the dresser. Hard to walk around,
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Thank you
I live in Palm Springs, this was just a quick over night trip. It was beautiful - the room was immaculate - the staff was friendly, the restaurant was good! I recommend this place to everyone!
First time staying here - wonderful get away from the 4th of July firecrackers that our doggo (and we humans) do NOT like. Everything earned a 5 star excellent rating; Jessica at the front desk was absolutely the best!
​"This was our second time staying here, and it was just as wonderful as the first. My husband, our two small dogs, and I really enjoyed our visit. We were looking for a relaxing spot to spend the 4th of July weekend, and this was exactly what we needed. The property is beautiful and spacious, everything was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We will definitely be back!"
