Just beautiful. Buffet dinner was served nearby also near the creek. They had good parking for a large group. Many staff members assisted in directing guests. The only negatives were the road leading to the venue is very windy and narrow and the grounds have lots of steps and is unlevel for walking. This can be difficult for older guests.

The owner and management team are amazing! They are very on top of everything! If it's too hot they pull out the umbrellas before you know it. If the trash is full... scrap that they never let the trash get full. It's incredibly beautiful there and has an amazing bar ;) check them out on Instagram

Maybe the only thing that's changed is the window of time that the lake is full in the Summer, but that's a small trade off. Ray, the camp host, is a kind and wonderfully hospitable man. He cares for the campers to have a fun and safe time. Each site is beautiful in its own way. All the waterfront sites are gorgeous. Love this place!!

A gem in a garden setting in the resilient town of Paradise. Although some structures were…read moredestroyed in the devastating Camp Fire, they have rebuilt a peaceful oasis. The grounds are lush and well tended, the pool and hot tub sparkling with comfortable lounging. Rooms are comfortable and clean with individual patios. Ours led out to the pool area. They provide a free continental breakfast with the standard fare. There is also small gift/snack shop at registration. Owners are friendly and accommodating. We happened to book on Johnny Appleseed festival weekend which was just a short walk away. This an amazing town that has the spirit to literally rise from the ashes. Paradise Ridge Rising!

Ponderosa Gardens Motel has always been a wonderful motel in Paradise, California that is the best…read moreplace in town to stay for a visit. The owners keep the rooms and the grounds in immaculate condition. They are friendly, accommodating, and have created a little oasis up in Paradise. We lived up in Paradise, California for 21 years and had many times when we were holding events and had lots of relatives coming into town for a visit and needing a comfortable bed for the night. We heard nothing but rave reviews from all of them about the Ponderosa Gardens Motel. We needed a room one night and called up to book it. The front desk were very kind and the room rates reasonable. We loved the pool! It is clean and refreshing. The entire motel is appealing to the eye and you can tell that the owners have worked very hard to create such a meticulous motel. The fire up in Paradise, California in 2018 necessarily closed them down, but they worked very hard and made the motel even nice than it was before! Hard to believe they could outdo themselves, but they did and they are open for business again. Yippee! I'm going to be calling their reservation desk to make time this summer to get back up there and relax for a few days. It is quiet up in Paradise and it is such a lovely motel I've just got to get up there and check it out again. One more thing - Paradise is in the foothills above Chico, California, so if you're looking for a place to stay for an event in Chico, keep Ponderosa Gardens Motel in mind. It takes about 15 minutes to get from Paradise down to Chico, 20 minutes from Paradise to the Chico Butte College campus and 10-15 minutes to get to the main campus, 30 minutes to get from Paradise to the Chico State University.
