The host was friendly, knowledgeable about the medicinal uses of plants, good natured, and very welcoming. We learned a lot and she gave excellent recommendations for local experiences including Harbin Hotsprings and Beaver Creek Tasting Room - both must visits!! We had a romantic and relaxing getaway thanks to Brenda and her land. We would definitely recommend the farm breakfast for a nice start to your morning with fresh tea, garden veggies, and socializing. If you’re someone who likes to learn definitely take her herb walk! You’ll learn lots about plant medicine and native species. Thanks Brenda for the perfect visit!

The staff thankfully accommodate us and upgraded our stay. It rained on and off during the entirety of our stay. But regardless, we were satisfied with all the activities and space that Mandala Springs provided to give us a peaceful and wholesome experience.

Mandala Springs was a last minute getaway on a crowded holiday weekend. The facilities were very clean - wonderful pool, clean bathrooms, and plenty of space to tent camp around the established cabins and glamping tents. I arrived after hours, but instructions were clearly stated at the office for setting up for the night. I didn't get the opportunity to enjoy some of the other offerings, like the swimming holes, paddle boats or mini golf, but what I did experience of the grounds and the hiking trails and meditation zones - complete with chimes - was lovely, well maintained, and very relaxing. It also seemed like the camp hosts regular events - smores bonfires, and shared meals - and I like the invitation to feel a sense of community and connection with others enjoying the space. The one thing I hadn't anticipated was that this family-friendly campground was particularly kid-forward on this holiday weekend, especially with very energetic and vocal young ones running throughout the camp - as late as 11pm and again at 6:30 in the morning. It held my experience back from being a truly peaceful getaway, but for the brief time of my stay, the pros outweighed the cons. I'd look elsewhere for a single or couples getaway campsite, but for those with kids looking for an easy getaway where they can roam freely, this seems like a good fit.

This place really surprised me! Amenities galore, cleanest bathrooms and showers I’ve seen at a camping spot. This review is for a tent spot, where I was able to pick any available spot, which included electrical hookups if you needed it. There were many well maintained trails to explore, some with platforms to meditate or stretch, bench’s over nice overlooks, and lots of peace and quiet. The communal fire pit was a nice gathering spot in the evening to relax under the stars and listen to a musical artist sing and play guitar , if you’re lucky. I came on Labor Day weekend 2025 for just one night after the nearby Tour de Fuzz bike ride in Santa Rosa, but will probably lay be back before the next one. 5 stars!

What a restorative weekend. My leg was in pain and I was dealing with some health issues that made me feel really self-conscious. This weekend here for some reason, healed my leg and helped me gain a better outlook on life. I was able to hike to many different meditation spots, journal, relax, heal my mind and body, and even wading in the cool waters of the creek for some reason fixed my leg. I LOVED their book selections in the store. They were extremely hospitable. I have no idea how to reciprocate their kindness but to offer this review. I will definitely have to come back again. There are many options for you to stay in a tent or lodge or cabin. It was extremely quiet. We were there with just a few families and couples. We saw quite a different amount of animals and birds. They were great to wake up to as well. Everywhere we hiked/walked/biked we found a different bird feather on the ground. The space was so well-maintained and they really did think of everything. The details were amazing. My friend and I had a fantastic time and workshopped through a lot of our individual issues. We will probably come back for a yoga retreat!

2 nights at Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm
AMAZING!!!! I feel reenergized and could not be any happier. An experience that was a mix of relaxation, pampering and also educational. The farm is peaceful with beautiful Mountain Views, lush gardens and the most gorgeous night starry skies. I stayed in the Art studio. Which was super cozy, with a comfortable bed and a great little walkout porch, to enjoy both my morning tea and stargazing.
Taking full advantage of all the possible add ons, that the host offered. I ate delicious farm to fork meals, had the best massage of my life and went on a very informative herb/garden tour. And as if it couldn’t get any better, my visit coincided with a natural building workshop on the farm. This experience made me realize the importance of good food, self care and quiet reflection time. I left Golden Rocks not only with fond memories, but with several farm made purchases. Such as fresh veggies, herbal tinctures and lovely teas. I could go on and on, but I think my point is made. I 150% recommend this stay and hope many others too have the privilege. Thank you Brenda and I will be back for sure!!!

Weekend Trip to Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm
Brenda was absolutely amazing—so sweet and accommodating. I felt at home the moment I arrived on her breathtaking farm. The land offers million-dollar views, and the balcony of the art studio overlooks a serene valley, with neighboring horses, goats in the distance, and mountains all around. At night, the sky is incredible for stargazing right from the deck.
Brenda also offers a $12 farm breakfast, which I sadly missed—but I highly recommend taking advantage of it. The farm cats were adorable and so friendly. The art studio itself was clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable, with a kitchenette, fridge, and AC. Waking up to views of horses and mountains from the kitchen was magical.
As someone who studied sustainable environmental design, I appreciated the creativity and function of the compost toilet—it felt like the Wild West meets eco-innovation. Brenda’s other handmade structures, built from recycled materials, look like charming adobe cottages.
It’s also just a short hop to Harbin Hot Springs. If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful stay with a kitchen and stunning views, this is it. The moonlight across the farm was pure magic. I loved walking under the stars, listening to the night sounds, and greeting the horses. I’m 100% coming back.
Please book with Brenda—she’s truly lovely, and you will absolutely enjoy your stay. It’s a peaceful, magical place you won’t want to leave.

Weekend Trip to Golden Rocks Permaculture Farm
Had the best stay with Brenda! Note: this property is in Middletown, not Lower Lake like the app says.
I wanted to find a quiet place for a weekend getaway near Harbin Hot Springs, and I’m so lucky I found Brenda’s property. She’s so lovely and welcoming, and had excellent communication throughout my stay, from calling me before I got there to give me local directions (you should follow her directions, sometimes Google Maps will lead you astray) to giving me tips for local hikes, hot springs, things to do in town, etc. She offers a bunch of services to her guests for a fee: I personally bought a tincture made from wild-harvested herbs from her farm, which she thoughtfully prepared a homemade tea to go along with, and also ordered a farm-fresh breakfast that she prepared with vegetables harvested from her garden/the local farmer’s market. It was truly one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Brenda herself is a well spring of knowledge about permaculture, the land, and knows so many people in town; I found her interesting to talk to and easygoing. I would highly recommend staying in the farmhouse as it’s more of a cozy house vibe, with access to the kitchen and the bathroom right next door, but I will definitely be back to check out the Art Studio and camping grounds. She has two kitties that are the sweetest, and the neighbors own a variety of animals like horses, goats, dogs that you’ll see when you drive in.
Thank you Brenda!
