Bandy is a hidden gem that will only get better

We spent our spring break at Bandy Canyon Ranch. It was wonderful! Our family (Dad, Mom, 2 young kids) stayed in the Peacock Cottage. It's recently been renovated and was very comfortable. A quick note: BCR got new owners a few years back, and they're actively investing in the property. They're going through each cottage to upgrade/renovate it. (One was actively being worked on while we were there.) The same is true of the grounds. Our kids loved the pool area. The grounds were fun and *beautiful*, full of plants and birds. They also have a playground area and games for kids to play. We loved our time, but also could see it's going to be even better when the upgrades are finished. BCR doesn't have a restaurant on site. They offer several boxed meal/treat options (breakfast, snacks, charcuterie, treats, etc). On weekends, they have a pizza oven, and they'll prepare some great 12" pies, made to order. (Delicious.) They also had a movie night on one of their lawns, but it was past our kids' bedtimes. BCR is a short drive from the Safari Park, and it's a perfect option if you're going there. We will most certainly be back, with the intention of traveling with a few other families, as this is a great, intimate spot to travel with a group of friends/family. (I'm betting this will end up being a desirable wedding venue too.). Last thing: they have an animal sanctuary on site that our kiddos were delighted by. 5 stars.

Management would not let me view the property beforehand. The spa was broken, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to go there. The two bedroom was really a one bedroom and a living room with a bed in it. There were not enough coffee cups for the four of us. We could not feed the animals. Everything was no no and no. Would not recommend it and will never go back. When I complained they would not respond.

If you love paying an arm and leg for mediocrity this is the place for you. Do yourself a favor and stay at Rancho Bernardo instead. Bandy Canyon says they’re pet friendly but you’ll have to fork up $100 for the pet fee. I’ve stayed at Rancho Bernardo with my pet who is an emotional support dog and the fee wasn’t $100, that’s absolutely ludicrous. Not to mention there is no wiggle room for checking in early. Also, when turning on the water to shower it smells like rotten eggs and the sink water comes out black. The staff is not helpful let alone friendly or on time to open the office to check out. Again, do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.

The cabins were nice, but the grounds had not been maintained, the creek that was once beautiful and lively with ducks and fish,was dried up with moss and mold. The hot tub was drained. The check in person at the front desk, however, was super nice and apologetic. We left the property as we did not want to stay.

I stayed at the Sparrow Cottage for a weekend in December. There was a little hiccup with the gate code, so I’m glad I arrived while the office was still open. Everything else was great - very clean and comfortable cottage, great welcome/breakfast basket, a really useful suite of appliances for toast and coffee. On the ground lots of space for kids to play and run (sports goals, chess, lawn games). Very quiet at night and home to great horned owls! It was absolutely lovely and I would definitely stay there again. (Note, friends were staying at another cottage and their water was rather sulfurous smelling, but the water in the Sparrow cottage had none of that - it tasted and smelled great.)
