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.

For the value, the room was nice. It had a little fireplace in the corner and the bed was comfortable. My only complaints are that I was woken up by loud music and banging on the ceiling. I looked outside to see what was going on and they were doing repairs in the room right next door. Seems like they could put me in another room if they were going to do repairs in the morning and blast music in the room next I mine. Also, the wifi was very spotty which became an issue when I was trying to get some work finished. I like that they’re dog friendly. The grounds are well kept and the staff are all kind and helpful. I would stay there again.
