Incredible stay!
Overall an incredible stay. So accessible to civilization, yet feels like a wonderful secluded retreat. I could not imagine a better place for our retreat. Dan was incredible.

Small Wedding/Family Gathering
Our time at the Jewel of Ortega was fantastic. We hosted a family gathering along with our daughters small family only wedding with extended family. (Around 35 people.). The venue was wonderful. It was rustic and scenic with plenty of room, plenty of things to do and beautiful scenery for pictures and the wedding ceremony. Exactly how our family rolls. We had a few house related issues when we first got there that were quickly remedied by the staff. I can't thank Dan G. and his staff enough for their assistance, availability and kindness. This is a top notch team ready to serve in any way needed. I would absolutely consider booking the Jewel of Ortega again in the future.

Spacious Thanksgiving Gathering Space
My group of three families consisting of 18 people had an amazing Thanksgiving/birthday weekend at the Jewel of Ortega! Everyone had their own space and fully enjoyed all the activities available including tennis, basketball, ping pong, pool, swimming, relaxing in the hot tub, watching tv on the large couch, hiking, and petting the horses. The sauna was closed, but it wasn't a great loss. We brought a lot of cooking supplies for the big Thanksgiving meal, but found everything else we needed there. The check-in was a bit tricky with several cars arriving at different times because a clicker was required to open the gate that's a 20-min. drive down a dirt road from the house, but Dan helped make that process a little easier. We would return again!

Bachelor Party
We had a great time. The host (Dan) was great and very helpful all weekend. The property is huge and more secluded than you could ever want.

Great time
The whole family enjoyed the property and the variety of activities it offered for our short (4 nights) stay. The only issues we had were with the central AC system (none of the 4 systems blew anything other than warm air; the bedroom with just a king bed was especially uncomfortable but the bedrooms that had individual units were fine) and problems with cooling in the two refrigerators in the main house.
