"Very cute inside. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenett was nice. The shower needed a little more cleaning of the mildew on the corners. Overall nice place."
"My boyfriend and I stayed here for our 7-year anniversary and my 27th birthday, and it was such a beautiful experience! The location is absolutely stunning — peaceful, serene, and right next to the river, which made it feel like a true escape into nature. If you love the outdoors and tranquility, this is the place for you.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the entire atmosphere of the lodge was calm and rejuvenating.
Just a couple things to note: they advertise having TVs, but there wasn’t one in our room. The internet connection was also spotty, and the breakfast options were pretty limited — yogurt, oatmeal, breads, and fruit.
Still, those were minor things compared to how relaxing and peaceful our stay was. Would definitely come back again for a quiet getaway!"
"Review of Paradise Ranch – Where Grief Meets Grace, and Nature Heals
Paradise Ranch is not just a destination — it’s a living expression of one man’s imagination, intention, and heart. Kenneth, the creator of this extraordinary place, has built more than a retreat; he’s crafted a sanctuary where nature, design, and spirit converge to hold space for healing. From the moment I stepped inside, it was clear that every inch of this place was born from purpose. The glass walls don’t just showcase the outside world — they dissolve the barrier between guest and earth. Even the indoor shower, surrounded entirely by glass, gave me the surreal experience of being both protected and fully exposed to the wild beauty outside. It felt symbolic — like the beginning of shedding layers, breathing deeper, and letting the natural world in.
Kenneth’s attention to detail is breathtaking — not in a loud or flashy way, but in the most grounded, soulful sense. The copper piping, the use of raw woods, the textures and light, the soft hum of wind passing through open spaces… everything feels like it was designed to help you return to yourself. Even the soaps laced with calming aromatherapy, carry that same thread of intention. Nothing is random. Everything is rooted.
But what makes Paradise Ranch so unique isn’t just its beauty — it’s the healing energy embedded in its foundation. "
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Rock Cabin! Falling asleep to the sound of water and crickets was really wonderful. The restaurant was amazing! We especially loved having pie each morning with our coffee. Speaking of coffee, we loved walking into the cabin and seeing complementary local coffee, waiting for us. I also want to leave a little note that the road up to the cabin was pretty intense and a little scary at parts…But if you take your time, it’ll be worth the drive! "
"We loved our stay; as the kids said, it was “better than ice cream”! Cozy and pretty, with beautiful trees and views. Redwoods right outside your door! We had campfire nights with s’mores, dinners on the patio, and slept great in the mountain air. I really loved the primary bedroom and our girls loved the bunk beds (and toy area). "
