So Peaceful
Loved how secluded this place was and the proximity to Johnston Canyon. Our bungalow was very comfortable. We wished we could have had a microwave in our room, but, not complaining about that!!

Cabin was rustic but nice. No air conditioning. Restaurant on site was pretty good but pricey. On same property as Johnston Canyon. It was nice to be able to hike Johnston Canyon in the evening when it was not crowded.

Loved the feel of the grounds and access to Johnston Canyon. Very much appreciated food & coffee access. Restaurant service was…odd? Had we known how much we would enjoy it, would have stayed here our entire trip
