It usually takes me a couple of days on a vacation to get in a relaxed mode. I arrived at Bishops Lodge a ball of stress and was astonished to find just a few hours later feeling so relaxed and at peace. The resort rooms are scattered over the vast hillside property in which cars do not enter. The staff will assist you with a golf cart ride whenever needed. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. A talented designers take on a chic and livable Southwest theme. We stayed in the Pines group of rooms. The view is spectacular. The restaurant is so gorgeous with delicious food. If you didn’t want to leave the resort, you never have to worry about not eating beautifully. There is a gorgeous, well appointed terrace with an outdoor fireplace that is so lovely. The staff to a person was always kind. The service is sometimes slow, so pack a bit of patience, but they are so kind and caring it doesn’t matter. The views are stunning. It’s easy to understand why the spot has been chosen for almost 200 years as a peaceful place to contemplate the world. The pool is perfect- great size, and has a hot tub. The gym has fabulous equipment. We rode horses and also did a “creative living” painting session, which was so fun. The concierge was so helpful when we needed her. Great suggestions, and skilled at honing in on exactly what we wanted to do. The restaurant attracts visitors from outside the Bishops Lodge which made fun people watching and gave us opportunities to meet more people which was great. The resort is dog friendly, and it was so nice to meet so many wonderful pups. I can’t wait to go back.
