Koontz Lodge is such an amazing property! My partner, our puppy, and I had a wonderful stay! The cottage itself is super cute and unique-- adored the big windows and the fully equipped kitchen. Air conditioning was very much appreciated! Loved the beautiful stone flooring and steps. Do note that if you have mobility issues, this is not a good place for you unfortunately.
Because you're right on the trails, some bugs might make their way in, but we were delighted to see rabbits, lizards, and even a coyote right outside the back window in the early morning hours! The property is home to friendly pigs and horses as well!
The outdoor tub is truly magical, and all the spa amenities were provided! We didn't get a chance to try Maggie's catering, but she provided an extensive and delicious-sounding menu! Definitely check out some of the funky, vegetarian-friendly cafes and restaurants in the canyon as well! Would love to come back and stay again!
