Mountain Retreat Resort

They never answer the phone or return messages, even though the greeting says they’re away from the phone and will call back. I’ve left several messages. I’m not sure why they’re advertising rooms for rent, but they should probably take the website down.

We’ve stayed here twice and had a great time both visits. The little townhouses are cute, and the location is perfect. We enjoyed evening walks beside the golf course. The rooms are cute too, though be prepared for them not to be updated. The kitchen appliances are new, but the furniture isn’t. That didn’t bother us since we weren’t spending all day inside. There’s a fantastic lake about ten minutes away, and we picked up food on the way, including some of the best burgers around. There’s also a pool and jacuzzi inside the office. We enjoyed our stays.

These roomy, two-story cabins sit among the trees beside a creek, close to Calaveras Big Trees State Park. They’re well kept and have a nice 80s charm. We were lucky to visit in low season, when it was quiet and serene. The clubhouse has a pool, hot tub, and large kitchen and dining area, making it great for bigger groups. I highly recommend it and hope to come back for a longer stay.

The pool, hot tub, and sauna are maintained and make for a nice way to unwind. There’s lots of space for activities and a good night’s sleep. The place hasn’t been renovated in ages, but it has some 80s charm.
