This was our 2nd trip to the property and it did not disappoint.
Here was our scene:
1rst group - stayed in cottage #46. 2 full beds with luxury linens, 4 pillows per bed. There is a small table and 2 chairs on the front deck. There is a small kitchenette inside with a bar height table, with I believe 3 seats. There is a small fridge, sink, stove, microwave, toaster oven, coffee press, dishes, glasses, mugs, flatware and spices. There are paper towels, Kleenex, extra tp under the bathroom sink. There is also AIR CONDITIONING and overhead fans. It was AMAZING to be out in the heat and come back to a cool space. The bathroom has a huge shower, heater, sink and traditional toilet. It come equipped with Honest brand body soap and Alba hair products. There are 2 washcloths, 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels & bath mat. There were extra towels under the sink, if needed. It was SPOTLESS. Not a speck of dust or cobweb or dust bunny anywhere which is absolutely amazing because I've stayed at other 4+ star properties that were not as clean and this was in the woods! Bravo to the cleaning crew! It was such a spacious little cottage and we slept very well.
2nd group did tent camping. They had a nice, big flat spot near the fire pit. They had plenty of room to spread out and it backed up to a creek. The bugs weren't too bad and it was pretty quiet. They got to look at all the amazing stars because there is virtually no light pollution. The frogs were GLORIOUS, singing at night.
The property has EXTREMELY clean bathrooms and showers. They are in trailers and so it's very private.
There is also a Yoda for all the Star Wars fans, a pool, a garden, a volleyball net, a fire pit, a miniature golf course, a small pond with stand up paddle board, kayak and paddle boats. The paddle boats were in need of a little love but we just used the oars to navigate. There are beautiful trees and native grasses and spring flowers everywhere. There are walking trails and we even saw a ton of birds, lizards and deer. They have a beautiful path that leads up to the top of the hill and overlooks the entire property. There is a yoga platform, a picnic table, and a couple of benches for resting in the shade. There is also a very beautiful gong at the top of the hill.
Not too far from the property is also a lake and some small towns with a farmers market in Middleton on Fridays. Calistoga is 30 minutes away.
The property would be an AMAZING location for weddings or reunions. There are small yurts, cabins, cottages, rv hookups, and tent camping available.
It is a bit of a drive on some curvy roads but the scenery is spectacular and completely worth the trip if you're looking to get out of civilization but too far.
I HIGHLY recommend this place.
It was easy to book, easy to check in and out. You can book on their website and I found them on Airbnb too. read more
