I was very pleased rolling into the Best Western Cedar Inn. I do not know it's age. It has wonderful, Sierra Nevada Best Western Architecture, excellent staff, good internet, the night's rest we needed and a simple breakfast and fruit for our next leg of the journey. The people around the pool were enjoying themselves. For us, our day of driving was ahead.

I arrived and welcomed warmly by the front desk hostess. Check In was easy peasy. Upon entering my room #108, I noticed it was and ADU unit. Sweet! Large entry, beautiful decor,and a walk in shower that easily could fit 2! Lol. That shower the next day was amazing and the Shampoo/Cream Rinse (Lecoupe Brand) awesome! Now breakfast is not what I would have expected and yes disappointing. There was a waffle station and your customary cold cereals, muffins, yogurt,etc. Heat and eat breakfast sandwiches and burritos in place of standard eggs, sausage, B&G. There is also a huge parking area in the back to accommodate RV's and large trailers. I have several photos but they're already on the yelp pics by others. Check out the shower pic! Thanks to all for a great stay.

Favorite place to get away from the city life and reset. We have been coming to this place for over…read more20 years now and it's still our favorite place to relax. We have seen this place get renovated a couple times now and the management is getting better and better with giving the people what they want. Although I do miss the pool towels being freely available by the pool area, there are plenty of better benefits added to compensate for that. Watching a movie while in the jacuzzi, the fun games around the office, and the cold snacks on some days are a nice touch. The renovated rooms are definitely the best part of coming to this place, the golf course nearby and the deer make it feel peaceful and quiet. We will continue to come to this place couple of times a year as long as it's maintained and keeps on improving.

1 Star because zero star is not an option…read more Do not believe the promise that these sales presentations only take "an hour." That was absolutely not my experience. What is advertised as a quick presentation turns into hours of pressure, manipulation, and nonstop sales tactics designed to wear you down until you say yes. I felt trapped, misled, and emotionally exhausted by the end of it. They make everything sound wonderful while leaving out the long-term financial burden and difficulty of getting out once you sign. My advice: save yourself the stress, wasted time, and future headaches. If they offer you a "free" trip, stay, or experience in exchange for attending a presentation, just pay for the "gift" yourself. In the long run, it will cost you far less than getting stuck in a timeshare contract you regret. I would never do it again, and I would never recommend it to anyone.

Tomorrow it will be two weeks since we left Shangri-La. That is what I call the Cottages at La…read moreHonda Park. We stayed at in the Welcome House South. A very comfortable and quiet little cottage. Although, the bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower. There are no tvs in the cottages and the WiFi is a little dodgy. Cell phone reception isn't the best either. I think what I am getting at is that you can really disconnect when you say at La Honda Park. You are forced to communicate with your loved ones. The cottages are only equipped with a microwave. If you want to cook something more robust, there is a communal kitchen in the pool house. Believe me, it has everything you need. Also, there are bbqs in just about every common area. Aside from the beautiful grounds and comfortable accommodations, there is the barn. The barn is probably the best part about this place. It has a foosball table, a pool table, poker table, dart board, and a tv. The back doors slide open to a small seating area overlooking Angel Creek. I can't describe it. You just need to experience. The owner are Jenn and Barr. They were so nice. Once we checked in, they left us alone. In fact, they left the property. Besides my family, there was another family staying in the Main House. They were very nice and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and sit next to the creek and drink my morning coffee.

At first, I didn't want to write a review, because this is the kind of place you want to keep…read moresecret. A gaggle of girlfriends rented three cottages here, as three of us were celebrating our 40th/41st birthdays. The perfect "home base" for staging an attack upon Murphys downtown shopping, dining and wine tasting establishments, or as a leap-off point for local hikes and the gorgeous Moaning and Mercer Caverns. Each cottage is appointed with a gas-fueled faux wood-stove fireplace (easy operation via thermostat), fridge, micro, coffee maker, basic silverware/plates/cups, wonderful showers (great for power-washing off the mud and sweat after a day of rappelling and spelunking!) and extremely comfortable queen beds. Each cottage has its own character, giving the feel of the kind of decor a favorite aunt might select for your family's personal mountain cabin. Extremely clean and comfortable! Hang out by the fire, or chill out on your own front porch overlooking the lawn and creek. Or... ...head over to The Barn, a communal recreation room appointed with an air-hockey table, pool table, kitchen area (including a wine fridge!) and big-screen satellite TV/sat radio. The Barn was recently remodeled, using reclaimed barnwood, corrugated metal (for the ceiling sub-roof) and a pretty brilliant wallcovering that looks like warm old plaster, but is actually recycled craft paper and some sort of natural varnish. Cool! Also, a few relics from the region's mining days. There are board games, darts, books and other stuff to keep the individual, family or small group entertained. There's a large swimming pool (unheated in winter) and a small wading pool adjacent to another community kitchen and outdoor picnic area, and the only thing this area lacks is a hot tub. (Hint, hint!) Finally, there's Cosmo, the biggest, sweetest cat you'll ever want to kidnap. He's not allowed in the cabins, but he'll happily keep you company as you read a book on the porch, or wander up to the beautiful waterfalls behind the barn. He'll also keep score if you want to use the bocce court or horseshoe pits! Parking is limited, so don't expect to haul in ATV trailers or your RVs, but that's about the only con to this wonderful little family-run resort!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the house, it is set up and decorated with such love and charm! We felt right at home; the kitchen was fully stocked, with lots of games, puzzles, movies to keep us entertained. Our two kids loved having their own bathroom and beds, which helped to keep sibling fighting to a minimum. The resort neighborhood is so beautiful, quiet, and peaceful, and each of the homes are so beautiful and well-maintained! We spent every day at the pool, which was 3 minutes away on foot. My husband and I also loved having access to the fitness center. The location also made it easy to take fun day trips to Yosemite, Murphys, Senora, and Arnold. We can't wait to go back to the Bret Harte Cottage, we've already recommended it to all of our friends!

We were visiting Angels Camp for the weekend, and with the sun out, we knew we had to get a round…read morein at Greenhorn Creek. The course itself is quite challenging due to the tight fairways and fast greens. Outside of the bunkers, the course is pretty well maintained, even during the winter months. Lots of the par 5s are reachable in 2, some long challenging par 4s, and unique par 3s that are short but tough. During the winter months, they do a 10AM shotgun style play, which means all groups start on different holes and the same time. We finished in under 4.5 hours, played a decent pace throughout the round. The morning of our round there was a frost delay, and they sent a text to let us know ahead of time which was nice. We play here a few times a year, mostly in the spring/summer where it can get really hot. Playing in the spring/summer is nice here because a lot of times it's not super busy, and the course plays quick. They have a solid driving range and putting greens for practice. Overall, love playing here, never a bad time, and is always a challenging course to test your golf skills.

There was only one minor hiccup: one time the gate into the vineyards wouldn't open for some reason. This isn't even something the owners have control over (they don't own that gate), but Gil was very quick to respond and immediately came and helped us get the gate open from the other side. To me, it's inevitable that small things like this won't be perfect, but how you handle it is more important than it not happening in the first place. If I ever return to the area, I 100% will be staying here again.
