We had a wonderful time staying at Drakesbad! 3 meals a day included prepared by chef Sal. Ike the manager was very helpful and gave us a ton of history on the property and area. We had never stayed anywhere like it. Tons of board games and outside games, horseshoes, cornhoke, ping pong. Very remote so beautiful stars at night and nightly campfires for everyone to enjoy. So glad they were able to reopen!

Loved my stay at Drakesbad, they staff was pleasant, the property was beautiful and calm, and their food was great. Dining staff in the evening was amazing, the girls were so attentive and supportive to answering any questions. I loved the horses, and the hikes that were on-site. They were truly magical. I also loved how quiet and peaceful the property was. Getting it there is a gravel road for 3 miles, I would say be careful because there were a few pot holes (hopefully that can be repaired). I made sure to get back before sun-down so I could see them. My only issue was that I ordered a lunch sandwich to be picked up after breakfast because I was going to go hiking. The girl who took my order at dinner the previous evening said it would be ready at 7:30 AM. So the next morning I went to breakfast and after I was done eating around 8 AM I asked for my lunch to go. The sandwich wasn't done until 8:30 AM. Staff (I think different than the evening staff) kept saying that they were making it, however it shouldn't take 30 minutes to make a turkey sandwich. I think if you are going to pack lunches for guests, especially because many are going to hike and it take a good few miles to get off property to Lassen, it's best to have a system that caters to people who want to set out early for a hike. They were apologetic, however I was set back an hour from my hike. Overall, loved my visit, the community of people, and such a beautiful place I'd visit again and plan to stay & visit.

The staff were pleasant, so friendly and fun to talk to. Everyone was extremely accommodating. The food was simple but exceptional. There was plenty to do from horseback riding and hiking to board games and bonfires. Truly a memorable experience.
