We stayed in the A-Frame (The Bayview Cliff) and it was amazing. The retreat did a really great job placing the A-frames for optimal privacy. It was clean, quiet, and a great stay!

Stayed at the Bay cliff house and everything about it was perfect as described with the exception of electrical issues I had the first night with no staff available nor onsite neither over the phone to assist as it was after hours and no 24/7 support. Beautiful view and great space to disconnect and unplug as I needed

My only issues were that the ties and clasp were broke on the Tipi (bedroom) and the same Tipi had a little bit of mold present on the fabric. These were not huge concerns but something that needs to be addressed. I did have a discussion with the maintenance person before we departed and they stated these concerns would be addressed. He was more concerned about water getting into the Tipi because of the rain which was truly not an issue. The property is well maintained and the bathroom was really clean.
