Tara Canyon Holiday Rentals

"What a cute little boutique lodge with a fantastic breakfast. Hosts were very accommodating recommending lots of local activities to do plus restaurants in the area. The sauna was a great way to end the day after a long beautiful hike in the area."

"Clean room, great location near Black Lake, helpfu staff. Location around the hotel is a little rugged but easy access to grocery store, restaurants, etc"

"All was perfect "

"So my husband and I had an excellent stay despite that the apartment was not what we expected. It is really two bedrooms (one with a king size bed and the second one with a double bed and two single beds) and a bathroom at the top floor of a house. The landing at the top of the stairs is where "the kitchenette" is and consists of a microwave, an electric tea kettle and a one burner portable stove top. There is also a sink and dishes and some pots and pans. It is meant for light meals but nothing serious. The description mentions access to a kitchen but we were never offered this on arrival or afterwards. The bedrooms open onto the landing but there is no door leading to the stairs. It is just open and there are no locks on any of the bedroom doors or to the house itself. They are others living in the apartments on the lower level but we never saw them although we could hear them coming and going.There is a wonderful balcony looking out at the mountains which gets morning sun and is a great way to start the day. Having said all that, in retrospect, it was a wonderful stay. We met the hostess at the end of our trip and she was lovely, taking us on a tour of the property (she has beehives!) and treating us to coffee and her homemade cherry cake! This is as authentic as it gets! It is humble but comfortable. I would definitely return but be better prepared regarding meals. "

"Breakfast in such a hotel needs improvement. You can not limit the guests to only one item from the printed menu. You fail on that one, considering the hotel level. Simple things like, water, simple white bread, soft white cheese are missing. These are basics! The rooms are spacious, the staff is excellent and helping. The pool is lovely. "

"Amazing food and surrounding, Alen is wonderful and super friendly, big shout out to the chef, meals are tasty and fresh! "

"We stayed to 3 nights; the stuff was very helpful with suggesting activity to do in the aria. Since we had one rainy day, they order us massage to the hotel. Breakfast was good "

"This is a beautifully clean and welcoming hotel. We had a 4 poster bed in our room which was very comfortable, and the room as a whole was well set out and spacious. Our bathroom had a jacuzzi bath with a shower unit and plenty of hot water. The restaurant had a great choice of foods across breakfast and evening meals, and the service was great. There was free parking outside and it was only a short drive down to the main town. We enjoyed our two night stay and would certainly stay again. "

"Excellent property, clean, neat, management responses on time, friendly staff."
