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.

The facility is due to a remodel. Shower door doesn’t close all the way so the bathroom floor floods when shower was used. Requested for a maintenance repair, but it didn’t get fixed and we did not hear back from anyone. The property uses well water that has high sulfur concentration so when hot water is turned on the entire room will smell like rotten eggs. The environment is nice and quiet and feels safe.

day in the quite country

we were pleasantly surprised with the Bandy Canyon Ranch. Very well taken care of. everything looked green and serene. the only thing they can add is to have some sort of food service since it is out of nowhere. Also we couldn't get any information on hiking trails around the Ranch.

Super cute ranch. It felt like we were glamping. The breakfast basket is such a great idea. You have all your breakfast items for the morning. We walked around the ranch and it was very peaceful and quiet. Our cottage was modern and very clean. We will definitely come back with family and friends.

So good, I don’t want to share!

Our cottage (Kestrel) was a compact, but efficient space. Incredibly clean and serene. The grounds are gorgeous. Highly recommend the sanctuary tour, the pig walk, and bringing your bathing suit, closed toed shoes, and some marshmallows and sticks to enjoy everything!
