Great service and communication throughout my entire stay. Very clean and easy to access to everything that i needed. Even though it was a short stay but had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Everything was available for me before i arrived. Thank you really. Great job.

The cabins are older but we love staying there. Great price for a clean room without many amenities. A must is the Family style Chicken Dinner on the dining room, make sure you come hungry. Great hiking and lots of nature. A beautiful place. Great starting point for all the wineries on the wine trail. Orchards have peaches (July/August) and apples in the fall.
4/5 - Good

It is a great park with many trails. Park ranger is really nice. Giant city trail is moderate where you encouter unique rock formation, it is absolutely worth the visit.
