Mostly everything was wonderful. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable and very lopsided with a huge dip in the middle. We are not picky bed people, but we both woke up with sore backs after a very restless night. Other than that the property was beautiful and the staff was very helpful, even when we couldn’t get the tv to work. To the managers or owners: please consider getting a new mattress for cabin 10. Luckily we only stayed one night. If we hand booked more nights we would have asked to be moved to a different room/cabin. It was seriously terrible.

We stayed in the 3-bedroom cabin at Tahquitz Pines Retreat and had a fantastic experience. The cabin was huge, really comfortable, and spotless. Plenty of space to spread out, a big dining table that easily fits eight people, and a cozy fireplace that made the whole place feel warm and relaxing. The staff was genuinely great from start to finish. Friendly, helpful, and clearly cared about making sure guests were comfortable. The restaurant deserves a shoutout. The food was excellent and absolutely worth it. Service was a little on the slow side, but honestly, when the food is that good and the staff is that kind, it’s easy to be patient. A couple small things that would have made it perfect: having a stove in the cabin so we could really use that big dining table, and a streaming option on the TVs. Regular cable TV just isn’t it anymore. Overall, this place is clean, peaceful, well-run, and comfortable. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway.

Almost all equipments in the gym and recreation center are in bad condition. The AC in my guest was loud, and hinge of the bathroom door was loose and about to fall out. The 2 front desk staff were impatient, which might be understandable because it was Xmas eve.
