Something to keep in mind- the terrain is challenging for stilettos, old people, and toddlers. You should expect this when you see it's a barn venue, but some wedding barns have redone flooring. There is old plank flooring, gravel, and lots of steps and ramps to multiple levels.

We stumbled upon this winery while trying to find somewhere to enjoy a late lunch after a morning…read moreof hiking. The food, service and ambience did not disappoint. Everyone talks about their garlic parm fries for a reason. Order them! We also ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with sesame cucumber salad and sriracha mayo, which was so good (we ordered the food to split and both agreed we should have gotten our own chx sandwich). The flatbread was also good, but the fries and chx sandwich were just so much better that the bread was left in their shadow. I can't comment much on the wine as we both ordered mimosas . The grounds were well maintained and the waitress what friendly. Will return.

With moreland working the Covid unit at work and finishing school, and Blake having knee surgery, neither were able to come up before now to start making plans. Let me just say, I am very disappointed that the woman won't give the deposit back from Bonita Valley Dance Barn and wedding Venue. The pictures on Facebook make it look spectacular, but in person it is a dump. I get you are in the country and it's a barn, but who knew we were going to have to drive past a makeshift mobile home trailer with what looked like a junk yard parked outside, with campers, tractors, chicken coops, all around. The barn itself was covered in cobwebs (although they said there was a wedding there last weekend) yeah, right! And the chairs and media equipment had inches of thick dust. The netting draped through the rafters looked yellow as if they hadn't been changed in years and they were infested with bug carcasses. The light bulbs were scantily present and as you walk in there is a trap on the ground. The owner said it was for a "skunk " that was loose in the barn. Gross!!! Along with the skunk, there were rabbits running around loose in the barn. The smell was indicative of something either living in there or had died in there. The kitchen was a joke. If a caterer came in there they would run the other way. There was no oven and a refrigerator not big enough to hold a gallon of sweet tea. Walk outside and the grass is knee high and around the wooden cross were wooden pews that were rotten, gray and dilapidated. The furniture in the "bride's" dressing area was a couch dated back to the 60's and the fabric was so dirty, I was afraid to touch it. The tables to serve on were pallets nailed to four wooden posts. They were uneven and rough. I could go on and on, but I don't want to seem like a bride momzilla . I just want people to be kind and give this young couple their money back. Oh yes, and she said to make sure that I added that the cost was $710 for a 2-day venue...Thursday and Friday... well, Now we all know why...we were paying for SHIT and shit is cheap! I would be embarrassed to have family and friends come to this place!

This is the spot :) Open a few years ago, this campground area has tons of RV spaces, campsites, and even a few one-bedroom and studio cabins to rent. Be sure to do so early though, as it is popular! Pro tip: check their Facebook page for last minute cancellations. Once arrived, you can partake in swimming, cornhole, free kayak/paddleboard rentals, general store shopping, nightly live music, BBQ and more. It also even has a pet turtle that roams the grounds! Little ones are safe to roam around and everything is very walkable. We love being able to open up the cabin doors and let them explore while having fun. Give it a try!

Three of my friends left the next morning and wouldn't even sleep under the covers. All the buildings had a musty smell. we were having a reunion here and I drove three other people or I would have left the next morning. happy Hour didn't have a bar tender. the food was meh. All that would have been no big deal, but there is no way around biotoxin illness from mold. Everyone in the cabin left sick. We were offered a different cabin but they all stunk! The real kicker? I was offered $25 off my entire bill which is a slap in the face for what we endured. STAY AWAY from this pace for your health!
