"This place was beautiful! It was just what we needed. It gave our family a chance to connect with nature but still have the luxury of an actual bed and shower. The place was perfectly spaced out and the amenities provided were great. Our kids loved the s'mores kit. We stayed here for close proximity to Banning State Park but on the way to our cabin we saw a mama doe waiting for her baby, which will be quite memorable for the whole family. We will be back!"

8/10 Good
"Everything was clean and orderly. The room was smaller than a hotel room. More like a bedroom. The bed was very soft which for me was very uncomfortable. I had trouble turning on the television. After doing some troubleshooting I called the front desk and got voicemail. It said the pool and hot tub were closed due to construction. It also said they would call me back. They called an hour later and came up immediately. She got the tv on. After she left I still couldn’t get the remote to work and finally figured out that it was set up for voice commands and most of the buttons were useless. Anyway, while I was walking down a hallway I saw the pool and noticed people swimming. It was evening the day before I checked out so I didn’t get to use the pool. I was able to relax, though so I did accomplish what I went for."
