This place is a catfish

chose this place because it looked so beautiful in the pictures. I needed some time away from the city n it’s in a perfect area for that i thought: “wow what a beautiful heated pool!” Yeah it’s not a pool… it’s a hot tub! That you can get on Amazon. It has pretty led lights on the jets, but the Amazon ones do too. (Pros: great view of stars.)And then it was dirty! So I asked them to clean it, they said “sure we’ll get to it immediately”. But waited to get someone to clean it until the next night after I asked a fourth time? And when I finally did go in the worker living downstairs came to tell me it was late n to shut up. The workers are very rude I think they’re racist. Lady just ignored my small talk. And when I asked questions she pretended not to hear me or would respond minutes later? Idk if it’s because I’m young or because I’m Mexican, but it doesn’t matter what I am I’m going there to relax just like anybody else that’s what a retreat is for right? Or so I thought… the others that were staying there were very annoying. My room had a balcony with the view of the lake, and it’s very obvious it used to be just one big balcony, they’re literally just divided by a room divider, and you can hear everything (there’s signs that say no phone zone but everyone was talking on the phone very loud Nextdoor ). The breakfast n dinner options suck, worker rudely suggested I eat elsewhere. And room door was open every time I came out the bathroom or came in from balcony? Not a retreat

Wonderful; totally relaxing, quiet and great view of stars at night (dark sky registered). We could have used an additional day but our work prevented that. A wonderful surprise in a very secluded area of California.

Booked the romantic suite - Not what we expected. The side panels to the tub were literally coming apart and the outside daybed had a lot of white stains on it. Key getting jammed trying to get into our suite at night.. and Sarah mentioned providing complimentary rose petals upon arrival and did not receive any. Overall, not an ideal place for a couple in their 20’s. It’s more of an older folk retreat home.
