  • "Parkfield Lodge was simply incredible."

    “What really sets the lodge apart is the craftsmanship and authentic finish, it’s like something from the movies. The rooms are huge, pristinely clean and very well equipped. The swimming pool and hot tub area is also brilliant, we spent the whole day there. The folks who run it are as nice as you will meet. It’s a must visit!”

  • "10 stars for this magical place!"

    “We got the opportunity to stay here one night as a reprieve from a road trip up the I5. It is about 40 minutes off of the 5, so after a long day of travel we were wondering whether we had made the right decision and as soon as we arrived we knew we had! … Every single detail in the room was thoughtful and a nod to the history of Parkfield… We will be back!”
