I booked this place over the concerns of both my sister and wife who were skeptical the place would be a bit too new-agey for their east coast sensibilities - but they both loved it. The view of the mountains and lake from our room and the common area were enough to make it worth staying there. Very short drive to nearby Stonewall Peak which is a great day hike. Not far from the Slot Canyon trail and Three Sisters Falls if you want more hiking. Staff was not just polite and courteous like...

Our room,...

My husband and I stayed one night for Valentine's weekend. The property is quite lovely. Truly felt like a historic spanish hacienda inside and out. The furnishings reflected an era gone by as well as the wood and adobe structure and surrounding grounds. Remember the movie Barbarosa? How about Zorro? Very romantic setting! We can't wait to return. I'm already looking at our calendars for the next opportunity to escape the hustle-bustle of everyday life and escape to this intimate, picturesque,...
