    "We loved our stay at the Chaminade! The kids especially didn’t want to leave and wanted to return on our next trip to CA. The property is close to town but also provides a beautiful oasis in the hills. The pools were lovely and heated and the jacuzzis were large and clean. The fire pits in the pool area were a great idea for warming up after getting out of the warm pool and getting used to the cool mountain air. The room was a nice size and the beds were comfortable. It is nice to have a sofa bed. It wasn’t very comfortable but that was our only complaint. It was helpful to have a refrigerator in the room and the coffee maker was great! We look forward to staying with you again soon!"
