What Our Guests Say
We work hard to keep our grounds in top shape so you can focus on relaxing. Here is what our guests appreciate most about their stay in the mountains.
“I visited Monterey with my husband and 10-year-old twin girls. We didn’t know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised! We were greeted with a double rainbow right when we arrived at the clubhouse/cabin and took that as a good sign. What struck us most at first sight were the amazing views of the mountains and sky and the quaintness of the clubhouse/cabin itself and the camp site.”
