We were super excited to stay in the Burro Inn from what we heard. Room was dirty, had 2 big dead spiders in 1 of the 2 beds[crazy]. The staff, especially everyone in the diner were really nice for sure......but Upon leaving, I left 3 firshing poles in the room behind the door. I've called multiple times, left voicemail. Upon talking to someone, I was told I'd receive a call back. Its been 1 month and im guessing my $850 poles are being put to good use. Shame. My fault but no communication or honesty apparently

This place is a hidden gem! The diner is awesome! Food is amazing. All of the staff, specifically Bruce, Jason, Joshua, Cheryl are amazing! We had some folks who decided to light fireworks against policy, both state and federal during a high fire time, and the staff handled it professionally. Im definitely coming back here every year!

Lower your expectations if you plan to stay here... whatever they are, just lower them. There is a nice cove where you can get an rv site right by the water, but be warned! The beach is first come first served, but everyone thinks they own the beach so be ready for a fist fight... or be ready for Bruce who is hyper aggressive about parking, but does nothing about the the thugs getting wasted and blasting curse words for 6 hours a night by the kids play area. Every employee here has a different version of what tge rules are.... none of them are consistent. We stayed in the burro in motel... it was built in the 1960s and tge lights, refrigerators, stove, vents doors and windows are all 50+ years old and in terrible condition. The back doors don't open without a fight and the locks are so beat up they don't work without pliers. All of the walls have damage and are extremely dirty with food, blood and the wear and tear of an abusive relationship. The ceilings all have leaks and have been patched and painted 50 shades of off white. Overall its insulting that they call these remodeled. The boat ramp was wide and nice for launching boats... no complaint, but it is extremely slippery and I watched 3 people slip and fall... The marina didn't have basic things for boats like fuel injector cleaner or carb cleaner, or even ice some days... tgey sold me worms that were dead. The best thing was the older lady who managed the Diner. She was very friendly and gave great service. ❤️

This place was so much fun for Memorial weekend. We had a beachfront rv site with family and friends all set up. The store had a good amount of things stocked and came in useful. The water and seeing the wild Burros was great. Will be back here again for sure!

I really wanted to enjoy my stay at Black Meadow Landing, but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. The long road leading into the property is in terrible condition and feels completely unmanaged. By the time you finally arrive, you’re already frustrated from the drive alone. The restaurant was almost always closed during our stay, which was extremely inconvenient considering how remote the location is. The staff was also consistently rude and unhelpful, making guests feel more like a burden than welcomed customers. The hotel rooms were honestly disgusting — dirty, poorly maintained, and nowhere near what you would expect for the price. To top it off, there was donkey poop everywhere around the property, making it feel unsanitary… The management seriously needs to step up maintenance, cleanliness, customer service, and basic operations before I could ever recommend staying here.
