Virginia Creek Settlement

I rarely write reviews, only if something is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. This was terrible! We booked 2 housekeeping cabins one for 3 nights and one for two nights. I spoke with them directly on the phone multiple times. First, this sits right on the highway, and it is incredibly noisy. Impossible to sleep. Second, I asked when I booked if we could fish in the stream, they told me yes and that it was stocked with fish. When we arrived the stream/river only had about 2" of water in it. Impossible to fish here! Third, I asked if there were pots and pans ect. I was told yes it was fully stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, silverware ect. We were going to cook that first night, but the dishes were unusable, completely coated in old, dried food! and grease! The entire place was filthy, the floors brown with dirt. There were mice literally running across the floors. The beds are not made, just a pile of linens and you have to make them up yourself. My elderly dad was along and the nice handrails on the cabin in the website photos were broken off and gone, it was dangerous! I'm quite sure that not having a handrail in the state of California is illegal. We left the next morning and found a much better cabin on a lake. but we are out more than $750.00. Beware!!! This is a complete dump, and they will lie to you to get your reservation.

Adorable place to feel like camping... without having to camp. The cabins are very clean, tucked between a mountainside creek and a small highway conveniently close to Bridgeport. While access to hiking, the ghost town, and activities are a short drive away, most of the guests we talked to were there to hang out around the fire, play the yard games scattered throughout the camp, feed the fish in their trout hatchery, or eat at the restaurant on site. The owners are very friendly and were always on site to help with anything we needed. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. While you can hear the occasional car passing by, the highway is hidden from view and we didn't really notice it over the white noise from the creek. Great find! We will definitely be back.

My stay here was a delight from start to finish. Not only is the place so cute and right on the creek, the staff were veey kind and helpful. Great place to stay for a solo traveler like myself, a couple, or a family. Would definitely stay here again.
