I would like to say all positive but this resort could be so much more. Not kept up very well. I thought there would be an active cantina and tiki bar but apparently only active during events held there. It says 3 hiking trails on the property but my dog could only find the 1 which we found a broken snow shovel and other garbage. Its a shame they let this family property get run down. Please call Hotel Impossible to help you. The grounds are beautiful with the trees and the rock pool, but the club house needs all the junk removed so you can play foosball.

If your looking for a quiet get away; away from it all, this is the place to come. If you have teens who are always on the phone... they wont have that choice here. It is a windy drive and the service isn't very good, so they wont have a choice but to get off of their devices. At night the wifi doesn't work very well and you'll have 1 or 2 cell phone bars. So if you need to get ahold of someone, you may need to go into town to make a call or use the internet. If you like vintage things you will love this place. Some people's reviews complained that they aren't more "modern" or "up to date"... uh thats the point. They had a barn/cantina area that they use for events. In side there is a bar and some vintage furniture. We thought it was super cute. Next to it is a pond which was pretty empty since it hasn't rained much this year. They also have a clubhouse that is open all day that has a bathroom downstairs along with some vintage items. My daughter had no clue what the operator switchboard was, so I showed her how it was used and how "back in the day" thats how we had calls connected. This was also her first time playing pool and she LOVED it. It was either 50 cents or a dollar per game. She was determined to beat me so we played probably like 6 games each day. She also got get first experience playing table foosball, that was interesting. Upstairs there are some couches and a bar area you can use. Outside they have some outdoor games, gorgeous pool and spa. Sadly the spa wasn't working when we were there. I guess the day before we left there was a guy repairing the heat component on it. They have a walking path but we couldn't seem to actually find where it went. The actual little cabin was cute. If you need darkness to sleep, make sure you bring an eye mask because it's super bright. There is a shower made for us short people, lol. There is also a microwave, small fridge, table and bbq outside. Cute lil place overall!

Great scenery on the grounds

I was looking for quite awhile to find a place we could go to for our anniversary that we could take our little dog. We got him from a shelter at the beginning of Covid and he has a really hard time leaving him with others, and boarding him is something I just can't do as he was in a cage for awhile before we got him. So looking for a place that would be nice and easy to walk Winslow, plus be a great get away for us was really not easy. I'm so happy I found the Lazy Z! The cottages are cute and perfect for 2. They have some bigger homes on the property, but we only saw them from the outside. There are acres of paths and lanes to walk and the outdoor pool and spa is beautiful. We didn't see many other people at all, and we had no contact with the staff except the housekeeper who brought us new towels. Check in was so simple, in fact there really wasn't any! I received a text from Launa with directions and the number of our cottage. We were to go and the door would be unlocked with a key on the table. Anything we needed, we could text. There was a little kitchenette with plates, flatware, glasses and a Keurig coffee master with 6 pods. Bring your own for more coffee. There is a small frig, toaster and microwave. Everything we needed. I also brought my air fryer, as I can cook most anything in it. We had a nice roast one night that I cooked. So simple. We stayed for 3 nights, and explored the surrounding areas. The clubhouse is a walk from the cottages, so if you are not able to walk uphill you will need to drive. There is an ice machine both inside and outside the clubhouse. There are games, blackjack and poker tables, ping pong and pool, a big fireplace, TV and a bar that are all available to use. There is a vending machine with sodas downstairs. You could stay in the clubhouse with your family for hours and enjoy all it has to offer. The Lazy Z is close to Sonora for food and shopping. We also went to Jackson, Columbia and Arnold. My favorite was the drive we took up to Pinterest and we were able to play in the snow. The pros are friendly, helpful staff, secluded, safe place to stay and get away in a peaceful, beautiful setting. The water features are lovely and you can use the outdoor spa. We saw someone in it one time, otherwise it was empty. The cons are the mattress was hard and needs updating, the bathroom is tiny and the hot water only lasted about 5 minutes because of a time water heater. The cottages are basically tiny trailer homes. They are plenty for 2, and again, they have bigger homes to rent on the property. The price to bring out dog was $25 a night which is steep as we stayed for 3 nights. I think a cleaning deposit would be better and maybe one small charge extra. You wouldn't have known we had a dog and we actually left the place better than when we came as we picked up some trash on the property that others had left. It was in the higher priced side, and if you want more luxury you may want a hotel. We enjoyed our stay and may go back in the future!

Wonderful place to stay. Clean rooms beautiful setting inside and out. I would recommend a mini or long vacation. We live 5 minutes away and enjoyed a nice, private, beautiful, mini vacation.

Hot tub and fire pit.

This place is so amazing I'm not sure where to even start with the review. I will start with my drive there. On the way I received a text from Launa way before check in time telling me my cottage was ready, included directs on how to get to my cottage once I was on the property and that they room key was in my room waiting for me. I'm always skeptical about a place I haven't been to yet. Internet pictures can lie. Let me just say the pictures on Yelp & their website do not do this place justice. It is so nice, the cottages are adorable, everything was clean, and I didn't want to leave. We walked around the grounds to the pool, checked out the clubhouse, and an employee even let us check out the bigger cabins for the future. Plus you can't beat the price. I liked it so much that I made reservations for summer. Can't wait to go back. Hoping next time I get to see Gizmo.

We stayed here in July with our three kids (3,7 & 8), this home/location was perfect for our…read morefamily. Kids were safe and comfortable, which makes Mom & Dad happy! Here's what I wrote to the owners after we left: I cannot express to you how happy we were with our trip and your home was a major part of that! To be honest, the pictures online do not do justice to show the amount of space we had. I LOVED all the labels and how easy it made everything (TVs, refrigerator, garbage, etc.) to use. All of the outlets and modernization in that aspect were awesome. We all had so much fun in the game room and many hours were spent there with our kids. Our son, 8, loves all things video games and it was a treat to show him games we used to play when we were kids. The walk to the lake was easy. And, oh man, that little lake. What an ideal spot for our family. Our youngest is 3 and we felt so comfortable in that environment for all of our kids. We met your neighbor, Doug, and had some good chats with him. What a guy! Your binder with information was heavily used. We managed to get out and about a little bit: Columbia for gold panning, Lyons Reservoir, Fraser Flats, Pinecrest, my husband even made it way up Sonora Pass for a hike in the snow, while we soaked in the 80 degree weather. Unfortunately our fishing skills are lacking and we didn't catch dinner, but we still had fun trying. I will (and already have) share your rental with anyone looking and we hope to be back in the future. Our kids did not want to come home...we took them to Kauai last year and they didn't say that when we left there. Thanks for making such a magical place available to the masses. This is a family vacation we will never forget.

We had our family reunion in the cabin last week and thoroughly enjoyed it! It definitely has a…read more"cabin" feel with forest in the back yard and deer sightings a couple of times on the property. We loved the little lake just a short walk away. Bring something to float on for a thoroughly relaxing experience! Our family is the outdoor type, but I was surprised how often we gravitated down to the arcade room for some fun competition. The cabin was clean, and everyone said that their beds were comfortable. Everything we needed to cook for a crowd was available including 2 coffee pots to accommodate our caffeine and decaf preferences at the same time. The owner, Eric, did a great job communicating with us and making sure that everything was going well. Neighbors were friendly, too. If you're expecting a luxury hotel with granite counter tops, this is not the place to come. If you want a relaxing, comfortable, and peaceful place to vacation with access to amazing outdoor activities, I definitely recommend this. That being said, let me tell you a few gems that we experienced while we were there... We drove up to Pine Crest Lake (probably about 20-25 minute drive from the cabin) and spent several hours hiking around the lake. There's a nice beach and picnic area, too, if you're not into the hiking. It's a beautiful area that reminded me a lot of Tahoe. We also went to Big Trees (an hour drive from the cabin). The North Grove of the park is impressive, I'm sure, but we drove down to the less travelled South Grove and had a great day of hiking while viewing some amazing trees (up to 25 feet diameter). A third adventure I would highly recommend is the Natural Bridges trail (about half way to Big Trees or 30 min from the cabin). The trail is about 1 mile long and takes you to a stream that goes through a cave. Bring your floaties so that you can float into the cave! What a treat! And a stop in the old gold mining town of Columbia for ice cream on the way home topped the day off. Great family vacation spot! Thanks, Eric!

From the check in to the restaurant staff, all of it 1st rate! Opted for suite this time and it was so worth it! Super comfortable, the bed was cozy and perfect. Slept like a cat (cat ppl know what I mean). Rush Creek is especially great if you have small children. Lots of activities on the property plus there's a massive pool to cool off in or heck...do some zip lining. What kid doesn't like that? The restaurant on the property is still great! Plenty of options and the beer and wine selection (or boozier cocktails) are still a win. I recommend the bowl of chili! Overall, yeah it's a bit of a drive from the Yosemite valley if that's what you want to do...BUT... there is tons of stuff to explore on this side of the park as well. Staying at Rush Creek has allowed our family to visit new sites and trails that we'd probably not be motivated to see if staying in the valley. I can't recommend Rush Creek Lodge and spa enough!

We ordered the smoked salmon dip, it came out with a hot-ish edge and cold center- yuck. Had to send it back to be properly heated. Then our main dishes arrived cold.

We waitress tried to reassure (gaslight) that the food had just come out. We sent the food back to be properly heated. After being reheated, the food was fine.

This year we stayed in cabins 17 and 20, which worked out perfectly for our two families. During our stay we went hiking, horseback riding, and enjoyed several meals at the restaurant. The horseback ride up to Kennedy Meadows Lake is a must-do, and the restaurant serves some really great food. The weather was absolutely perfect, and there's just something special about unplugging and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The only downside is the reservation process. You have to book about a year in advance, and it can take a lot of phone calls before you get through. It would be nice if there were a waitlist or a more streamlined reservation system for returning guests. That said, we appreciate the old-school charm and usually just take whatever dates or cabins we can get when the opportunity comes up. Despite the reservation challenge, we keep coming back year after year because it's such a wonderful place to make family memories. Highly recommend the horseback rides, the hike to Kennedy Meadows Lake, and dining at the restaurant!

A very comfortable and quiet little cottage. Although, the bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower. There are no tvs in the cottages and the WiFi is a little dodgy. Cell phone reception isn't the best either. I think what I am getting at is that you can really disconnect when you say at La Honda Park. You are forced to communicate with your loved ones. The cottages are only equipped with a microwave. If you want to cook something more robust, there is a communal kitchen in the pool house. Believe me, it has everything you need. Also, there are bbqs in just about every common area. Aside from the beautiful grounds and comfortable accommodations, there is the barn. The barn is probably the best part about this place.

The Barn was recently remodeled, using reclaimed barnwood, corrugated metal (for the ceiling sub-roof) and a pretty brilliant wallcovering that looks like warm old plaster, but is actually recycled craft paper and some sort of natural varnish. Cool! Also, a few relics from the region's mining days. There are board games, darts, books and other stuff to keep the individual, family or small group entertained. There's a large swimming pool (unheated in winter) and a small wading pool adjacent to another community kitchen and outdoor picnic area, and the only thing this area lacks is a hot tub. (Hint, hint!) Finally, there's Cosmo, the biggest, sweetest cat you'll ever want to kidnap. He's not allowed in the cabins, but he'll happily keep you company as you read a book on the porch, or wander up to the beautiful waterfalls behind the barn. He'll also keep score if you want to use the bocce court or horseshoe pits! Parking is limited, so don't expect to haul in ATV trailers or your RVs, but that's about the only con to this wonderful little family-run resort!

Beginning on our first night, we repeatedly found black bugs crawling on our pillows and in our bedding. We reported the problem immediately, and over the course of our stay we continued documenting it with photos and videos as it kept happening. On both the first and second day, we asked to be moved to a different cabin. Rather than relocating us, we were repeatedly told the issue had been resolved after the bedding was changed, the room was inspected, and the cabin was treated. Unfortunately, none of those efforts solved the problem. Despite the bugs continuing to appear night after night, we were never moved. By the final night, we no longer felt comfortable sleeping in the king bed. I slept on a small leather couch, while my husband slept in the other bedroom with our nephew. This is the part that I still cannot understand. The staff kept telling us we are in the forest, so bugs are normal, acting as if we were being difficult (about bugs crawling by our faces every night!!!!) If insect activity is common enough in this environment that the resort has established pest management protocols, then staff should have known that simply changing the bedding was unlikely to resolve the issue and should have relocated us after the first recurrence. If this was an unusual event, then repeated bugs in a guest's bed should have prompted an immediate relocation anyway. Either way, leaving guests in the same cabin was the wrong decision. After returning home, I contacted the General Manager with a detailed account of our experience. His response (again) focused largely on explaining that Firefall Ranch is located in a natural mountain environment where insects can occasionally enter accommodations. While I understand that insects exist outdoors, my complaint was never about seeing bugs outside. It was about repeatedly waking up with bugs on our pillows and in our bedding while remaining in the same cabin despite reporting the issue every day. The resort also referenced a $150 credit that was placed on our folio during our stay. We never requested compensation, and given what occurred, I found that gesture to be an inadequate resolution rather than a meaningful one. Honestly, it was offensive. Had we simply been moved to another cabin after the problem continued, this review probably would not exist. I am sharing this experience so future guests can make an informed decision. Based on how our situation was handled, I cannot recommend staying here.
