You arrive on her amazing 12-acre riverfront property, where lemonade and iced tea abounds and are served in glass boots! The meal starts with fresh salad and homemade bread, which leads into award-winning baked beans and steaks, and finally ends with peach cobbler (made in a dutch oven) and homemade vanilla ice cream. Lastly, you can have some fresh coffee after you've stuffed yourself silly. Judy doesn't miss a single detail in this chuck wagon dinner experience. I hope you're as pleased as my family was.

I took my nieces (10, 11, and 15 years,) my mother (63,) and my grandmother (88.) We stayed in cabin two. We all absolutely loved it. It's situated conveniently between Nevada City and Virginia City. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The "breakfast" that is promised at every B&B was an actual breakfast (as opposed to a muffin or granola bar.) They brought it out and served us a hearty meal as we sat in the shade on the lawn. They even had a cute little rock shop inside, so the girls could get some geodes, crystals, and fossils as souvenirs. I would definitely recommend it, especially for families. It was like having our own tiny apartment to ourselves. It was cheaper than getting rooms enough for the six of us at a chain hotel. It was also cleaner, they had real soap in the bathroom, and they were much less stingy with the towels. It was a great experience.

We booked the small cabin with a queen bed and an extra rollout bed for our party of two adults and one 12 year old.

The owners were attentive and quite friendly but also let us keep to ourselves.

I didn't see the earlier yelp review about the rude owner and I am now kicking myself for not being…read moremore thorough in my research. The owner is beyond rude. I am actually writing this review hours after checking in because I feel it is important that other travelers do not stay here. We are staying in the Mountain Goat rental. The resort touts itself as a luxury resort. It is not. We had the choice between staying here or Lone Mountain Ranch (for the same price). We liked that Diamond J appeared to have less cabins, and therefore, less people. While that is in fact the case, what a mistake we made by staying here. First Issue: Immediately, we noticed the king duvet was stained with white spots (I think most of you will see the attached photo and know what our instant thoughts were about these stains). We text and called the manager, Katie, and her response was, grab a blanket from the closet. Not, I'm sorry, our "resort" strives for cleanliness and this was a one-off-nope- grab one of the scratchy blankets from the closet and use that instead. She wasn't going to even come pick up the dirty duvet because she had already left the property at about 4pm. When I said I wasn't paying $500/night to not have proper bedding, she said she would send the owner down with a duvet. Second Issue: The online photos of Mountain Goat show a gorgeous master with a king bed, fireplace and beautiful views. The ranch knew we were only one couple staying in this two bedroom rental and I had been in communication with Katie, the manager, during the whole booking process. When we arrived and saw that the "master" was not what was pictured on the website but a single dark room without a bathroom or fireplace (see attached video for what both Katie and the owner keep telling us is the master), we asked Katie if she had anything to help us connect the two twin beds that were in the supposed non-master together. (The room with the fireplace, en suite, picture windows and walk in closet is the room that had two twin beds in it when we arrived). She said no, we would have had to request that in advance. When I asked her why common sense didn't dictate that the master bedroom be the bedroom with an en suite and walk in closet, she said how they have it now is "how it always is". I pushed the twin beds together myself because there is no way we are sleeping in the dark box room, even if it means sleeping with a crack between us. I then tried to bring this to the owners attention when she came to drop off the clean duvet... Third issue: The owner, Gia, called before bringing down the new duvet because she wasn't sure what I needed. When I started explaining our duvet was stained and the rooms were wrong, she rudely and abruptly cut me off. She literally stopped me and said, I just want to know if you need a blanket or a duvet or what. I thought, surely this can't be the owner. An owner would want to know about the ongoings and issues of her own "resort". Right? Wrong. When the owner arrived in person, she said nothing about the dirty duvet. The inconvenience I was causing HER oozed off of her. I then told her she cut me off before, and I wanted to know why the king bed was in the back room. She stated that's how it "always is." She then said we knew it was only two of you, so we left the other room as twins. I again pointed out, if you knew it was only two of us, wouldn't common sense tell you to make the room with the bathroom in it the king room? Her response: "No, this is how we like it." When I pointed out that her online photos advertise that glorious front master bedroom WITH A KING BED she tried to tell me the photos do not show that. How am I suppose to have a rational discussion with someone whose going to deny the existence of her own photos? I still cannot believe that was the owner. She might as well have had a DGAF sign on her forehead. Even if you take out the appalling owner, the lack of cleanliness and forget about the bed set up, this is still a 3 star establishment at best. And that's a big IF. Don't be fooled by the "luxury" claims. Apparently you cannot even trust the photos on the ranch's direct website. Perhaps someone else will buy this property in the future and bring it up to its true potential. Until then, I recommend you stay anywhere else.
