8/10 Good
"The property was great! Loved the access to the park, hot tub, and beach area. What kept it from being 5 stars was the room was a bit outdated and the beds were uncomfortable. It also would have been nice to have more trashes available around the property. But overall a great experience."

Conestoga Ranch

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at Conestoga Ranch, and the wagons themselves were comfortable. We visited over the busiest weekend of July 4th, and that’s where some things fell short. We asked to move to a wagon closer to the bathrooms since we have small children. The switch didn’t go through, and we were left waiting with all our belongings on the floor while the front desk tried to coordinate it. A little more organization would have made a big difference that weekend. The restaurant food was excellent, but reservations are required and were hard to get, so plan ahead if you want to eat there. Our room’s light fixture was just a bulb hanging from a cord with a plug. It had fallen onto the bed before we arrived, and it took a long time for anyone to fix it, so we ended up repairing it ourselves. A proper fixture would be a worthwhile upgrade. The afternoon heat in the wagons is very uncomfortable, and it’s a good idea to plan for it. The nights get cold, but the heater works very well. Overall, the staff were friendly, the setting is relaxing, and we would be glad to come back. We’d recommend it with a few caveats: book restaurant reservations early, ask for a room near the bathrooms when you check in, and bring a fan for the afternoons."

"On arrival the site was beautiful and just as expected. Great experience overall. The only complaint was the main floor sofa is really stinky. We washed the blanket and pillows but I think the actual couch just needs a good washing. Otherwise our stay was great and we would stay there again."
