The goats were super approachable and friendly. Our niece was able to actually pet a whole bunch of the goats and feed them with her hands.

They had a bunch of different animals including emus, chickens, horses, a cow, several goats, roosters, and a rabbit. 10/10 would recommend any animal lovers. This place was very family friendly.

Dear Tongming and Faith,…read more I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experiences we have had at Harmony Ridge Lodge over the past five years. Nestled in the Tahoe National Forest, your lodge remains our favorite getaway and truly feels like a home away from home. Every visit is spectacular, and the service we receive is always outstanding. We especially enjoy the serene atmosphere of the whimsical gardens and the comfort of the nine spacious suites. Having access to the entire lodge--including the front lounge and the kitchen for cooking meals and hosting karaoke--makes our annual two-night stay incredibly special and seamless. We are consistently impressed by your dedication, professionalism, and hospitality. You both go above and beyond to make us feel like family, and the intimate experience you provide is unmatched. Thank you for maintaining such a safe and pleasant retreat. We look forward to many more visits and will continue to highly recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a perfect venue for weddings, retreats, or family getaways.

She goes above and beyond, always adding thoughtful extras and making sure every special request is met with a smile.

I feel so thankful to have found both this venue and Sydney, and I would recommend Gladding Farms to anyone looking for a beautiful place with an amazing owner to match!

I rarely do reviews but I felt I wanted to share the pros and cons of this venue and my experience…read morethere with others who may be looking for a wedding venue. First the pros. - [ ] This venue is absolutely beautiful. The property and the barn with its chandlers, white draping intertwined with fairy lights are absolutely stunning. The venue at sunset is astonishing and creates a colorful backdrop for your special day. - [ ] The back patio and lawn areas are spacious and can comfortably accommodate 100 people. - [ ] They offer a small mobile bar and you choose 3 signature cocktails. They provide the mixers, water, ice, cups and straws. We provided the alcohol, beer and wine. - [ ] The Bridal suite was tastefully decorated and is an ample size for a small bridal party. - [ ] There is plenty of parking. The cons - [ ] The owner is extremely difficult and very unpleasant to work with. Not much is in writing and she changes her mind and the rules as she goes. She consistently made comments about us loosing our deposit if we did this or didn't do that. This was both prior to the wedding and during the wedding reception. I don't believe it was only us. When we came on Monday for the table delivery, she was complaining about the bride and the brides family from the weekend. - [ ] During our interview she told us that we could have access the week prior beginning on Monday. She said she was very flexible and just let her know when we wanted to come, she would work with us. Once the contact was signed we were told we could only have 3 hours prior to the wedding. She stated that she had been taken advantage of and had to tighten the access down to 3 hours. We had already made arrangements with her to have 10 barn tables dropped off on Monday and she told us that would count as 1 of our 3 hours. - [ ] During our 2 hours we had to set up the venue she was constantly with us offering her opinion. The bride had spent a lot of time deciding on how she wanted the tables and things set up. The owner was overbearing and constantly offering her opinion. It became very uncomfortable especially since we only had 2 hours to prepare. She told us that the tables needed color and looked bland. They were what the bride wanted. It was a hard and uncomfortable situation. - [ ] The bar ran out of ice and bottles waters early in the evening. Luckily it was not a hot day, the day's high was only 84 degrees. They did not refill the soda and water barrel. I had to ask twice but was told there was no ice or water. The majority of the time there was no ice and no bottled water. I had brought 2 large, very nice metal and copper drink tubs and were told no we couldn't use them, that hers would look better. - [ ] Parking is a long walk on uneven grass and in the dark. She has guests park on the opposite far edge of her property. She could easily have them park closer. I'm not sure why she does that? - [ ] No bathrooms, just two port a potty's for 100 guests. - [ ] At one point during the reception my daughter's grandmother went into the bridal suite to get something for my daughter and the owner hurried up to me and she told me that she had remotely locked the suite. That someone was in there that wasn't allowed. She said she locked it and we could find her if we needed to go inside and she would remotely unlock the door. She again threatened that she would have to keep our deposit if anyone went inside that wasn't allowed. Who wasn't allowed?? First I had heard of that?? - [ ] We followed the rules. Music stopped at 10:00. We had hired a helper and with the help of several family members we had everything cleared out, chairs stacked, tables wiped down and all garbage in bags put where we were instructed. We packed our cars and were out at 10:58 since everyone had to be out by 11:00. It was a challenge, but we did it. We started clearing off the runners, garlands and table signs while the dancing was still going on. We were confident that we would receive our full $1000 deposit back. - [ ] We received only $180 of our $1000 deposit back. Her reasons were ridiculous, unreasonable and unfair. We felt she planned to keep our deposit from the very beginning. The wedding was beautiful and the guests all enjoyed it. If I had to do it over I would not rent this beautiful venue. The owner was unpleasant, unfair and incredibly difficult to work with. She added so much unnecessary stress to the process.

Had we known about the hotel ahead of time, it would've been a better stay…read more The hotel is not a bad place, at all. It's full of history and class. It's clean and central to many locations in town. The chief complaints I have are these: 1. The walls of the hotel are paper-thin. You can hear *everything* going on outside your door and the rooms next to yours. 2. There are no TVs in any of the rooms. For #1, nothing to be done about it but go in forewarned. For #2, not knowing that was totally our fault. The TV situation is listed on their website. But TVs are such a standard item, who thinks to look for that note..? :P Now. The best part of our hotel stay was Ulina. She was the front desk rep when we got there. She was extremely friendly and very helpful in getting us settled in. She went above and beyond her duties to make sure our 2 night stay (that turned into a 1 night stay due to job issue) was stress free and comfortable. If you stay here in the future, ask for Unlina, you will not be disappointed. :)
