What can I say? We LOVED it here! If you're looking for a snobby, ritzy spa.....move along. If you want a pet friendly, funky place with seriously the friendliest people on the planet, this is it! After 3 months on the road the pool, hot tub, mineral tubs and showers were absolutely glorious. We will absolutely be back. ❤️
Bashfords is the best. Craig the owner couldn't be a nicer guy. The people and amenities are absolutely awesome. And its a hop skip and a jump to some of our favorite off road trails. Love this place!
