We loved our stay in the two-person cabin. It was small but cozy and very private. The “water feature” (pool) was fantastic as were the other clubhouse areas. We’re already looking for a time to come back.

ok stay

Room (manzanita 1b) was a bit run down and old, but made look nice. Bathroom was tiny, no shampoo. Pool and hot tub are very nice, although pool was not heated (yet). The room is very close to the pool, which was nice for us but might be a bit loud if it is busier.

We absolutely love this property! The cabins are beautiful, comfortable and so relaxing. We needed a break from stress and this definitely met our needs. The spa was wonderful- listening to the waterfalls and relaxing in the gorgeous scenery was magical. We played pool in the lodge and loved seeing all the unique antiques. A short drive away were delicious restaurants and shopping. Absolutely loved this beautiful mountain property. We will definitely be back!

Rustic cabin-like room. No interaction with office, check -in was done by text. Went to room, key was waiting. Same with check-out. Dropped the key on the shelf and left. Area was quiet. A bit confusing to get into town, had to rely on GPS, as there are no dining options at resort. Overall, had a nice, relaxing time!

This resort is a very unique property like anything I have seen in this area before. I would call it "a piece of gold nugget in Mother lodge". We have tremendously enjoyed the pool area....sparkling clean, organic shaped beautiful pool setting, surrounded by trees and bleu sky. and lot of comfort. Above all that is a perfect place for a small weddings. Sooo romantic. Do not get mistaken as I did, it is a very large property in hilly forest area so from cottages to pool and other accommodation is a quite a walk :-)We do not typically come the same place two times, but this is one we will make an exception and we are making already plans to come back again.
