    Nice lake view - not walkable from trailer.
    Deborah L.

    The site was nice and clean. The trailer itself was very well appointed. The staff were friendly. Three issues; 1. The propane was not turned on when we got there and so we couldn't light the stove. No instructions were given about turning it on (and there were plenty of other instructions) - the AC was on when we arrived (yay) so we assumed that all that was needed was on. When we called to get some help - it was the after 4:00 maintenance emergency line - no answer. We left a message and no one ever called us back. So good that it wasn't life or death. Having an emergency line to call was great. Having no answer and no call back was not. 2. There was a critter in the trailer - never saw him/her (thank goodness) but food was gnawed on. 3. The pool was closed and frankly looked like I would not want to be in it anyway but it should have been known that the pool would be closed.

    We had 40 of our closest friends and family here for a birthday party and nothing could beat these beautiful lodges gorgeous views and amazing staff. Highly recommend the lodges for a fun or relaxing getaway!

    We had an amazing time on the lake, which was lovely. However, we did learn a lot about the site and unless you have T-Mobile and or AT&T, there is no cell service unless you're in the visitor center with things like Verizon. And even then it's only two bars. There is no Wi-Fi anywhere and the showers though clean did not get very warm. The staff were amazing. The store was lovely. The boat rental Marino had some amazing People working there. I loved everything about the location and I had to switch due to hookups to normal, which was my favorite new campsite area. I highly recommend.

    Just wanted to give a shout out to the reservation desk. Our family has been camping at Naci for well over 50 years. Even though my parents moved to Paso in '89, we still make it a priority to spend at least one week at the lake every summer. Just a couple of weeks ago my husband started a new job and can't make it. As a result, I won't be needing our larger trailer. Bringing the baby trailer instead and wanted to give my site to another family member with a larger rig. The staff was so accommodating and allowed us to move our sites so that we will still be together for the week. Thanks Naci Staff - as usual - you do not disappoint!

    We had a great stay at this newly renovated lodge near Lake Nacimiento. It was very clean, private, and had a cozy deck to relax on. The king-size bed was spacious and comfortable--perfect after long days at the lake. There's one parking spot directly in front, and the lodge is on a steep hill, so we were glad we brought our electric bikes to get around easily. Overall, a peaceful and comfortable retreat to return to each evening! Be prepared for the ultimate escape as there was minimal cell phone reception (Verizon), we enjoyed it!

    I've been coming to this lake since I was 10years old almost every year and im now 43 years old and I gotta say even though they have remodeled the condos their management of them is not up to par, we had mice in our condo with mouse droppings all over the condo floor the kitchen table, the chairs and the top of the couch (see attached pictures) this is unacceptable and how ypu contract haunta virus. The phones don't work up there so there is no one you can talk to after 5pm when management leave because you don't get service. Also this is the second incident I've had there this year, the first one was when two guys stole my parking spot for two days that was my assigned parking I paid a premium for and I was told that somone would look into it but they just gave me $100 to shut me up, no follow up nothing on the incident.

    It was rather difficult to reach any customer service. It always went to voicemail. When we arrived late at night, the whole streets were too dark so we got lost. We called the emergency after hour, it went to voicemail. The person never returned the call The marina is closed so we couldn't rent anything. The system was down so we had to drive 16 mi to the nearest Walmart/Big 5 for w fishing license and purchase of fish poles. So no kayaking no boating without having your own stuff The lake was dirty gray unlike Lake Cachuma. The cabin was nice though, kinda expensive in my opinion. They didn't give us free charcoals for grilling.

    Do the large lodges have a stovetop to cook on ? How about an oven?

    Yes they have stovetops in all the lodges as far as ovens the cottages and trailers have ovens but unfortunately lodges only have the stovetop

    How many bedrooms in large lodge rental?

    The floor plan is open. There is a bedroom downstairs with a queen bed and a loft with two to three bunk beds upstairs. We hope to see you soon!

    Any overflow parking for pine Knolls?

    There is always overflow parking in our main parking lots that located right next to pine Knoll. If your ask about overflow camping that depends on how full the Lake is( when the water is high the overflow camping in limited, but if parking what… 

    Are there any other activities, interesting places to visit near by, hiking trails, how far to Hearst Castle? Why don't you show a map of the over all area showing where different things are found, something to fill a whole week renting a cabin.

    Stumbled into Allegretto on a whim: was visiting Paso Robles and booked a wine tour. Within 30…read moreminutes of arriving, knew I had to stay. The vision behind this place is truly inspiring and heartwarming. Built from the ground up around sustainability, human energy, and the balance between light and dark: allegretto, as a name, captures it perfectly. There are structures and masterpieces from six continents woven throughout the grounds, and as you walk through, you feel transported: one moment you're in Europe, the next in India, the next rooted right here in the American West. Astrology, art, intention, and the practice of living in the present moment are threaded through every corner. The wine selection has something for every palate. The tasting room mostly outdoors and so relaxing + beautiful, and the club membership is def worth it! What truly sold me were my wine tour hosts, Rosemary and Ryan. From the moment I walked in, they were warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about this place. The spa was great too! Jackie and Denise were warm and I got an amazing facial. Started the morning with yoga in the chapel, which was serene and restorative in the best possible way. The restaurant, Cello, is also excellent. Renee and Devyn were kind & welcoming. Lisa and Ava at the front desk were gracious and warm every time I crossed their path. Also found the most thoughtful, reasonably priced gifts for my family at the wine tasting room: a rare bonus. Heard they're building a second pool that will include both a family pool and an adults-only pool too. A few small notes I'm sharing in the spirit of the brand itself: not as complaints, but as easy wins for mgmt. For a resort so deeply rooted in sustainability, plastic cups at the water stations felt out of place. Switching to paper would be a simple change with a meaningful impact. Similarly, the mats in the chapel were the Amazon brand, which didn't feel aligned with the intentionality of everything else here. And one logistical thing worth noting: a portion of the grounds was blocked off for a wedding the morning after I checked in (pic included) Had planned to wander early and would have really appreciated a heads up at booking so I could plan accordingly. None of this changes my overall experience or my enthusiasm for this place. Allegretto is one of those rare destinations that if the above aligns with what you enjoy, you will be transported. Highest possible recommendation.

He has curated an extensive collection of art and furniture for the resort. I believe what is missing here is that The Allegretto needs to be more conscious of " hotel management " techniques. For example , the rooms are dated and somber. On both of our trips the beds were extremely uncomfortable and the pillows were " saggy ".The rooms need to be updated in color schemes and vibe. There are only 2 elevators for this massive sprawling resort... too much walking! We had to go to the front desk three times because there were no valet people out in front. Because of these experiences I am not sure we will be back .

We were staying nearby at Lucia Lodge and needed a better dinner option. I emailed the front desk to see if we could get in (phone service is non existent at times in Big Sur but I did have WiFi at our room). They responded quickly, I got some cell service, and we confirmed our reservation for last seating at 8:30. Sydney at the front desk, great name by the way, also confirmed a $25 corkage fee for the special bottle we wanted to bring. We did the 4 course dinner and it was a pleasant surprise to have so many good choices with each course. I went crudo, soup, steak and panna cotta; the better half went with scallops, wood fired cabbage, steak and chocolate cake. We shared, all was divine :-) Service was on point, friendly and they never rushed us. We also bought a few items from the cute gift shop. The Morlet 2014 Cabernet I brought was incredible and a perfect match. Use lastbottle.com. I got this $300 bottle for under $100, well worth it to pair with this extraordinary meal. A beautiful setting, a beautiful meal, lovely service. They charge you automatic 20% gratuity, we added another 5% in cash. Highly recommended!!!

The personal bonfire and hot tub elevated the whole experience. The area was quiet and felt intimate. The complementary breakfast was cozy and comforting. We got the omakase as well with the alcohol pairing. A lot of the ingredients were sourced from the area which made it feel more unique. Some of the dishes were slightly on the fishy side, but other than that it was very yummy. I don't think I would recommend making reservations at the omakase unless you're staying at the resort since they do take stand alones. We were also greeting by a very large spider on the bathroom towels in the middle of the night but other than that we had a great time.

When we checked in and got to our room, the property felt completely empty. We were the only guests we could see, which made the whole place feel eerie and uncomfortable. We walked around the entire property and saw no one. There were only three cars in the parking lot, including ours and the front desk employee's car, yet we were told they were "fully booked" when we asked about moving to a larger room. The room itself was not great. The bed is extremely hard and squeaks with every movement. On top of that, the AC does not work. We told the front desk before leaving for dinner about the AC and were told someone would come fix it. When we returned, the room was even hotter than before & it felt like walking into a sauna. The windows don't open, so the only way to get air in is by opening the doors, which obviously lets bugs in. The "free wine tasting" was also frustrating. At check-in, we were told that we would get complimentary tastings at the tasting room. When we went to the tasting room, we were told they were "too busy" for tastings and that we would need to buy glasses of wine instead. We didn't want to make a scene, so we ended up purchasing a bottle and a glass, which came out to $85 & we never received the tastings we were told were included with our stay. Overall, this has been a terrible experience. Between the uncomfortable room, broken AC, lack of guests/staff on the property, and being denied the complimentary tasting we were promised, I would not recommend staying here. Do not let the 4.6 rating fool you.

Let me shape your note so it flows beautifully but still feels personal and honest: Arriving at The Pinnacle Inn late in the evening was a bit of an adventure for us. We reached the gate around 8pm in complete darkness, with no network service and no easy way to get in.
