Do recommend coming the first weekend when they have more trees of different varieties as well!

So I decided I finally wanted to create my own Griswold family Christmas, LOL. It was a two hour…read moredrive or so to this place. What the heck, more time to sing Christmas songs as a family, right? Haha. I've never cut down my own tree. But I'm sick of buying dead trees from the local places here. Here's a clue, if you make a fresh cut on the bottom and put it in the stand with water, it should be suckin up that water. Especially during the first week or so. If it's not suckin up water, its dead and probably been that way for awhile. It will be dropping needles, a fire hazard, and have little to no odor. I gotta tell you, I absolutely loved the experience here from beginning to end. I brought a saw but they provide one if you forget. They have a handful or so of varieties that grow on the property. You just wander around on the acreage and look. All the trees for sale have a price tag. No price tag; not for sale. After you figure out which one you want, you cut it yourself. Then they have carts to lay it on and haul it out. Free popcorn and warm apple cider too! Employees were real friendly from entering the property to buying the tree. I loved exploring the property and not feeling rushed. Really cool! We settled on a 9-10' White Fir for $125. Really loved some of the Blue Spruce Trees but just couldn't justify the price. Check out my pics. Looked at a beautiful one that was $300. I just couldn't justify the money for something that was going to die. On that subject, don't believe the bad press about real trees. The fact is, if you drop them off in the proper place, they are turned into mulch. They are much less harmful to the environment than disposing of an artificial tree. Plus they improve the environment and air quality the whole time they grow. By the way, they also have fresh Noble Firs which is usually what I buy at the tree lots locally. They don't grow on the property but they ship them in. They only grow up north where it is colder. They are kept in 5 gallon buckets to stay fresh so even if you are not cutting down these, they will be fresher cause they are kept in water. In conclusion, I spent a little more than I normally spend for a tree. I would definitely say the experience made it worth the price difference. Plus, we cut down the tree and had it set in the stand with water that night. You won't find fresher if you buy local. They complimentary shake it by machine (to remove critters and loose needles) and optional netting for a small fee. A+. I'll come back next year. BTW. I visited between last week of Nov and first week of Dec. Maybe if you procrastinate, the selection becomes slim pickins?? Not sure, I'm just trying to make sense of some of the negative reviews. Come on Bako! Make a day trip out of it and hit Splash before coming home! Cheers!

Our cottage was right next to the Christmas lights display entrance. It was so convenient. The light displays were amazing. We were both blown away by the beauty of it all. We were in a Christmas wonderland. There were so many vendors selling many different things. There were a lot of German made decorations and ornaments. Lynn's was selling their mini pies and cinnamon rolls. The nursery area had a gorgeous store with amazing displays of Christmas decorations that were all for sale. You could purchase succulents and plants. There was BBQ tri-tip and bratwurst in the nursery section. By the main entrance next to the lodge there was a beer garden. They had wood fired pizzas, cocktails and beer. There were also many more food vendors selling tamales, German pretzels and German desserts. We thought the Bratwurst on the pretzel bun was the best thing they had. We tried the tri-tip but thought it was just okay because the meat was dry. It was better after adding bbq sauce. We bought some mini pies from Lynn's that were excellent. I don't recommend the tomato and Gouda soup. It was way too sweet. The German pretzel was just okay. Things are pricey here. But that's how it is at most events like this. The staff were amazing and helpful! I really loved the Christmas music being played throughout the market.

They depict the lush landscape and creative crafts of local San Luis Obispo artists. The crafts also display a sophisticated level of work, along with a sense of humor that make this the perfect place to come select gifts for your friends, or for yourself!

There was a high path and a low path - We needed steps, so we took both. There are bathrooms strategically placed so if you have to go while way out there, it isn't a problem. Look to the right of the toilet and push the foot pedal to flush. The bathrooms were clean. Two sections featured music, and as we were walking out there was a live jazz band playing. Don't forget to tip the band! We took around an hour. The path out is well marked and easy to follow. We were able to get back to the parking lot and found our car in the well-lit parking lot easily. This is good for kids and adults. Give it a go!
