I recently stayed at Bay Meadows Resort, and while it was an overall enjoyable experience, there were some ups and downs. I loved the cleanliness and how spacious the cabins were, plus the modern amenities made my stay comfortable. However, I faced some issues with hot water availability and a few minor maintenance concerns. The location was nice for accessing the lake, though a bit busy during peak season, which impacted the calm I was hoping for.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The cabin I rented had its charm with features like an apple tree outside, yet it faced some noise issues being near the main road. While the property is dog-friendly and spacious, the dated interior and some maintenance issues like hot water shortages were disappointing. Overall, the experience was decent, but there is room for improvement.

I rented a standalone cabin for one night, and while it was cozy and close to the main road, the noise didn’t bother me much. A few technical issues marred my experience, like faulty Wi-Fi and an unexpected lack of hot water. Additionally, I appreciated the opportunity to explore the apple tree nearby in September and the possibility of star-gazing with the owner’s telescope on clear nights.

The presence of the telescope and apple tree added a unique touch to my stay, but it would be great if they ensured the hot water system was better maintained.

Our stay at this resort was mixed. While the cleanliness and staff's friendliness stood out, the room we had was a letdown due to noise and outdated furnishings. The location was convenient for walking to the lake, but the muddy shoreline wasn't appealing. If you’re looking for a quiet, modern retreat, this might not be the best choice, but the staff’s attentiveness was definitely a highlight.
