I loved the decor, nice comfortable bed and the breakfast offered. Parking is unpaved and unmarked with a truck obstructing the narrow way in a spot. I would have appreciated the disclosure of a bonafide statue of an idol in the ad, however. It made me uncomfortable.

Food was good. Everyone was nice. It’s a little hard to find in my opinion, they need a bigger or brighter sign at their entrance road. I got so lost trying to find it. It’s the dirt road before the Cal-Fire station. That’s where you see tiny rusted sign. Otherwise, good experience! I will be back!

A Hidden and Getaway

This place is a gem and I only wish we had more time to enjoy it. The whole vibe is peaceful and quiet and the views are amazing on the lake side of the property. Breakfast was very yummy and I will be back another time to fully enjoy this property. Everyone we encountered who worked there was amazing and very personable. My only suggestions are that it would be nice to be able to cover the light on the A/C unit as it's very bright, all night long. Otherwise, if you need complete darkness to sleep, I would bring a sleeping mask. And, being able to call and reach someone is preferable to me vs. texting with reservation questions.
