The view is amazing. Just start there. The wines are mostly Rhone style with lots of oak aging to soften and round them out. For a moderately sized mostly estate winery they have a great selection wines from some less common varietals. In the whites and reds balance was a theme throughout. The flavor profiles ranges from sweet to pepper with strong fruit notes. The lounge area was shaded well with cushioned seating. Israel was attentive while juggling a few large groups. He was helpful, excited and knowledgeable about the estate and wine. Overall a great experience I would recommend and go back for.

During our visit, there was a party with tables and seats set up on the lawn. The tasting room is rustic with some seating and a record player and crate of records. Guests are encouraged to bring their own records too. The tasting fee is $10 and you get to try about 6-7 wines. I don't drink but I enjoyed sitting outside and soaking in the view. Hubby really enjoyed the wine and bought several bottles. Coming from the bay area where Napa wines are pretty pricey, these wines were a real bargain at about $30 or less a bottle.

I knew it was an older lodge , but expected cleanliness and comfort and this place couldn't even check those boxes for us. Upon entering the room there was a huge stain on the nasty green carpet, someone else's shoe under our bed, thick dust on headboard and baseboards, insulation falling from ceiling in bathroom, dirty walls, hairs embedded in sheets, black mold in shower and pubic hair on bathroom floor. We immediately went downstairs to the desk and asked to check out the very next morning, we had to cut our trip short due to these horrific conditions of our room which meant a lot of travel time for us and us missing out on seeing the park. This lodge is located in a prime location with a beautiful river running right behind it. It's too bad they don't do some much needed renovations on the lodge rooms. The service at lodge restaurant was extremely slow but tasted decent. This place was a huge disappointment and I would give zero stars if possible.

Without a cell phone connection, there is no GPS connection. Make sure you have a full tank of gas and download the offline map first. We planned to meet at the King Canyon visitor center, but learned we needed to go to the Boyden Cavern visitor center instead. From the King Canyon Visitor Center to Boyden Cavern, it is another 45-minute drive on a windy route. Luckily, we arrived on time and checked in. While waiting, the views are stunning, and the tour lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes. It's really nice inside the cave, the temperature within the cave is around 50 degrees, which feels cool and pleasant. When visiting Sequoia National Park, Boyden Cavern is a must-see attraction.

She went above and beyond by taking some pics of us riding and sending to us after. I was having trouble receiving the photos so she personally emailed them to me a couple days after we left, when she was already off shift. A note about the riding, a few parts of the trail were slightly steep, or at least they felt that way to me as an inexperienced rider. I was a little uneasy when we went downhill because I'm not used to the feeling of going downhill on a horse. That being said, I still felt safe and we will definitely be back.

I brushed it off and continued with a few more questions and then I asked her about "Billy", the horse that was mentioned in one of the TripAdvisor reviews as "unwilling to move". She was quick to blame it on the rider suggesting she wouldn't talk to the horse (which is ironic because she is also a woman of few words). To my question what are the chances we're getting him, she answered that he died. And I said sorry to hear that but I guess it works towards our advantage. She took it bad and basically hung up on me saying to call back if I decide to book a reservation, which obviously I'm not going to.

From the moment we rolled in, we relaxed our breath into the cradling caring arms of Cyndi's Snowline Lodge. Natural darkness descending around us- Robert was quick to invite us into the warmly lit communal lodge area, which was brimming with personality. He showed us a fun silverware balancing bar trick, while Lucky the dog, looked on with heavy lidded amusement. We were the only ones staying at the lodge that night. Our room was darling and clean and smelled fresh. The wi-fi was working well. We slept unbelievably well. Showering was a dream in the morning with strong hot water pressure. Cindi brought us up fresh squeezed orange juice and invited us down for a hot lovingly made breakfast spread - which included hot waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and light potatoes. We also indulged in wondrous coffee and an impressive selection of tea. Cindy even had Pink Himalayan Salt on hand for us to adorn our food - which we indulged in both there and on our backpacking adventure. Cyndi and the rest of the loving folk who help run this charming lodge take immense care and pride in making sure that all those who stay here feel welcomed and taken care of. They go out of their way to make everyone's stay both memorable and comfortable. We can't wait to come back to Cyndi's Snowline Lodge. Trust.

Turns out, the "parking spot" was actually a tiny campsite. Oops. A normal person would say, "Hey folks, that's a campsite -- you'll need to move." Easy. Done. But not this dude. No, this Mountain Mall Cop skipped "polite" entirely and went straight to interrogation mode: "You have a day pass -- why are you camping?" I tell him, "We're just grilling, didn't realize it was a site since the sign says day use only." He decides I'm lying. Doubles down. Keeps pushing. Because nothing says "public service" like manufacturing conflict where there is none. Then -- THEN -- this cone commander looks at my husband with a "control your woman" face. It takes a real special kind of smart to look to someone's spouse for backup. Discount deputy is lucky I didn't go feral at that point. This wasn't rule enforcement. There was literally nobody else in sight. This was a small man on a power trip, desperate to play cop in a place where the only real crimes are overcooked hot dogs. Pro Tip: If you enjoy being falsely accused, condescended to, and treated like a criminal, this is your paradise. If not, avoid this place like it's serving gas station sushi. Whoever manages this orangutan in a uniform needs to either train him in basic human decency... or at least send him to the dog park to be properly socialized.
