My family and I visited for a few hours. The weather was perfect and the views are beautiful. We came on thursday around 1 pm and there were only a few people in sight which I admit, it was very nice haha. I only gave 4 stars because the bathrooms were closed. Only the portapotties were open. Overall it was a great day.

Beautiful location but the staff managing the resort are beyond rude. Edit: Honestly I think this is an example of discrimination. See the response from the owner below. First in their letter they said we had too many dogs but we had 2 reservations and in their rules it states 2 dogs per reservation. Now they are making up complaints about our dogs not being on leash which never happened. Our dogs were always leashed in the resort. One of our neighbors had a non dog friendly pitbull so we made it a point to make sure all of our pets were always leashed. Our family trains dogs part time and we've never had complaints about our animal's behavior. In fact I distinctly remember multiple comments daily about how well behaved our pack was. Keep in mind our stay was over a year ago. We were never given any sort of complaint over the course of our week long stay. Absolutely ridiculous.

Not the biggest or most exciting lake but the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Usually gets pretty hot around these areas for most of the year but it is the perfect Sunday drive down to Cuyamaca Rancho State park. However, you are missing out on hands down the best panoramic viewpoint in San Diego by taking the 79 and not taking the Sunrise National Scenic Byway.

Restaurant and shop were amazing. Great food, and an AMAZING beer assortment (bottles) in the shop. Better than most of what I've seen in San Diego in years.
