    diamond in the rough! My family used to vacation in richfield when I was younger, it was my first time back in the area after five years! Pulled off of hwy 89 to have a quick supper, and I wasn't disappointed. Along with the menu, we loved the special, I had the Flat Iron and it was SO YUM. Something I thought was great was how fresh everything is. They use all clean ingredients and local suppliers for their menu. Such a breath of fresh air these days! For a fast casual restaurant (order at the counter), I was surprised by the service standard and how much they cater to each table. Food comes out fast! As a bonus, it seemed like the only place in the area to get liquor. It's worth a try if you're in the area!

    Floating the river

    Even though this says closed, it was open and providing amazing service this past weekend. We stayed at Hoover's in an amazing family cabin (Hoover House). We had delicious burgers at the grille and enjoyed a beautiful scenic stay . We floated the river and enjoyed family fun. One suggestion insect repellent is a must. The mosquitos were extremely hungry. The staff were very accommodating and so very friendly.

    Incredible food! Had the Prospector Burger and the Chocolate Brownie ice cream and both were awesome! The owner Beau and staff were incredibly helpful and we felt like family! Of the 4 days in Marysvale, we were there 5 times! Couldn't get enough of the ice cream.

    My husband and I had dinner here. Everything was perfect. We have no complaints. He had smoked grilled meatloaf with salad bar and scone and I had Italian sausage sandwich with fries. Food was good, salad bar fresh, scone was amazing, and my sandwich & fries were good. Service was friendly and fast, prices were reasonable. What more can you ask for.

    The food was awesome! Such a great variety to choose from. A fun and friendly cabin old mountain country environment. The servers were very sweet and on point. I was very grateful for their honestly as well. We left our credit card and didn't realize until we were already 30 minutes away. I called them after they had already closed for the night and they immediately knew we left the card and said they put it in their safe for us until we are able to go back. Highly recommend this place!

    I stayed here with a group of friends this weekend and we had so much fun! This group usually…read morefloats the river, but the water levels were pretty low so we opted to skip the float this year. I'm actually glad that we did, it gave us a chance to explore other things instead. Friday night, we joined other campers and locals for a game of BINGO. It was fun to meet other people and enjoy a spirited game together. I think they might have been short staffed because it took a long time to place a dinner order, but eventually we got to enjoy a burger. We also checked out e-bikes and explored the adjacent bike trail. We wanted to go out a little early and the nice man at the counter was gracious enough to come in early for us. The trailer site we stayed in was nice-lots of shade and a nearby shower and bathroom. I would love to stay at the site #17 which backs up to the river or cabin that overlooks the water next time. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back again.

    We stayed at Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort in one of the train car units in October, and it was…read moreeasily one of the most disappointing lodging experiences we've ever had -- especially for the price (nearly $800 for three nights). From the moment we walked in, it was obvious the unit hadn't been properly cleaned or maintained in a long time. There was thick dust buildup, cobwebs in corners and on light fixtures, and visible grime on multiple surfaces -- even the inside of the front door. We found a dirty sock on the floor and an empty tissue box shoved under the TV. The bed frame was broken, kitchen countertop was broken with large amounts of grout missing, several lamps didn't work, and overall, the train car felt run-down and neglected. It wasn't just the unit. The entire property looked uncared for. The sprinklers outside our window pounded against the glass at 2 a.m., waking us up and forcing us to go outside in the dark to fix them ourselves. The convenience store was rundown, the soda fountain machine didn't work, and there was no coffee so we had to drive 10 miles each morning just to get coffee. There is NO restaurant on site. They sell gas station nachos and hotdogs. They advertise Starlink satellite internet but there are only hotspots around the property. I reported the state of the unit to staff upon checkout and followed up with photos afterward. Instead of taking responsibility, management chose to minimize our experience and referenced a supposed "strict no refund policy" that doesn't appear anywhere on their website or in the confirmation email. When the owners finally responded, they brushed off everything as a matter of "personal standards" and stated "after reviewing all the facts in the situation, a 10% refund seems appropriate, if not generous". The resort is now under new management, and it shows. The focus seems to be entirely on increasing revenue, not maintaining the property or caring for guests. The way they've handled our situation -- dodging responsibility, minimizing our experience, and inventing policies to avoid accountability -- says everything about their priorities. For a place that advertises itself as a "resort," the experience was anything but. The property is in disrepair, the cleanliness is unacceptable, and the management clearly cares more about money than the people spending it. Save yourself the disappointment -- this place is not worth your time or your money. The photos I've attached speak for themselves.

    Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort - Again, the location and views are amazing.  The "idea " of the place is great.  Just not the execution.
