Amazing stay
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful and peaceful property with super nice staff. Picturesque property kept nicely manicured. Clean all around. Wish I could have stayed longer. Only disappointing part was that there isn't a restaurant there or a bigger assortment of breakfast food. The little coffee cart was cute and fit the ambiance. Would be perfect if you need to get away and decompress or for a wedding. for a getawayWill definitely visit again.

So beautiful, photos don't do it justice. Private, peaceful, elegant while also rustic. Much better than typical borig hotel or resort.

Cute ranch!

Cute ranch for a retreat getaway. Pool is available, nice walking trails, greenery to soak it all in, and a firepit to hangout with friends. Overall, a pleasant experience.

So good, I don’t want to share!

Our cottage (Kestrel) was a compact, but efficient space. Incredibly clean and serene. The grounds are gorgeous. Highly recommend the sanctuary tour, the pig walk, and bringing your bathing suit, closed toed shoes, and some marshmallows and sticks to enjoy everything!

Ayerim, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The cabins were nice, but the grounds had not been maintained, the creek that was once beautiful and lively with ducks and fish,was dried up with moss and mold. The hot tub was drained. The check in person at the front desk, however, was super nice and apologetic. We left the property as we did not want to stay.

The pictures on Expedia didn't do this place justice, it was so beautiful! Great, super friendly staff. From the gal who checked us in, to the horse caretaker, even the workers builing a rock wall near our cabin, they were all so nice. They have put so much work into this place. It is such a nice relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to visit again! Thank you for the stay, I wish we would have been able to stay more than one night.
Julie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

If you love paying an arm and leg for mediocrity this is the place for you. Do yourself a favor and stay at Rancho Bernardo instead. Bandy Canyon says they’re pet friendly but you’ll have to fork up $100 for the pet fee. I’ve stayed at Rancho Bernardo with my pet who is an emotional support dog and the fee wasn’t $100, that’s absolutely ludicrous. Not to mention there is no wiggle room for checking in early. Also, when turning on the water to shower it smells like rotten eggs and the sink water comes out black. The staff is not helpful let alone friendly or on time to open the office to check out. Again, do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.
Evelyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a hidden gem. It feels like you're in a forest and staying in a cabin. In the morning, you can hear the birds, and at night, you can hear the frogs and owls. They have an animal sanctuary you can tour, which is great because it teaches the kids the history of the animals and how they were rescued. The staff is super friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the fire pit with the smores, the big playground area for the kids, and the jacuzzi with the cabanas. The kids can run and play in big grassy areas during the day, and the game room has a big projector and couches where you can relax and watch TV. We are coming back this summer.

2/10 Poor

Nothing to do. Dirty. Unsafe in and out of property. False advertisement. Don’t spend ur money to stay there. Ur going to be disappointed.
Anahid, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property to relax and enjoy nature. The cabins were well appointed for the most part. Our cabin was updated and well decorated except the bathroom. It had old 1970s cabinetry and shower. The shower head was rusted and small. Since our stay was brief, it wasn’t a big deal, but would’ve preferred a fully updated cabin for a longer stay. The breakfast basket is such a nice touch especially since grocery is a little far. The staff is helpful and welcoming. Inspite of the rain, the staff still made Easter fun for the kids. Kudos to the young lady who gave us a tour of the animal sanctuary. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a great place for a family getaway!

Nice Jome Vacation

There is a lot of dust under the beds. They should sweep or use a robot vacuum cleaner. The room inside needs to be renovated. They should have free breakfast because it's outside the city.

Bandy is a hidden gem that will only get better

We spent our spring break at Bandy Canyon Ranch. It was wonderful! Our family (Dad, Mom, 2 young kids) stayed in the Peacock Cottage. It's recently been renovated and was very comfortable. A quick note: BCR got new owners a few years back, and they're actively investing in the property. They're going through each cottage to upgrade/renovate it. (One was actively being worked on while we were there.) The same is true of the grounds. Our kids loved the pool area. The grounds were fun and *beautiful*, full of plants and birds. They also have a playground area and games for kids to play. We loved our time, but also could see it's going to be even better when the upgrades are finished. BCR doesn't have a restaurant on site. They offer several boxed meal/treat options (breakfast, snacks, charcuterie, treats, etc). On weekends, they have a pizza oven, and they'll prepare some great 12" pies, made to order. (Delicious.) They also had a movie night on one of their lawns, but it was past our kids' bedtimes. BCR is a short drive from the Safari Park, and it's a perfect option if you're going there. We will most certainly be back, with the intention of traveling with a few other families, as this is a great, intimate spot to travel with a group of friends/family. (I'm betting this will end up being a desirable wedding venue too.). Last thing: they have an animal sanctuary on site that our kiddos were delighted by. 5 stars.
Andrew, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Management would not let me view the property beforehand. The spa was broken, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to go there. The two bedroom was really a one bedroom and a living room with a bed in it. There were not enough coffee cups for the four of us. We could not feed the animals. Everything was no no and no. Would not recommend it and will never go back. When I complained they would not respond.
