My stay at Clarissa Falls was absolutely memorable! The lovely atmosphere, combined with Chena's warm hospitality and delicious home-cooked meals, made it truly special. The rustic cabins, while charming, could use a bit of modernization. The natural surroundings were breathtaking, but some might find the lack of modern amenities a bit challenging. Overall, a unique experience in nature!

I had an amazing stay at this family-oriented ranch, where the delicious food and friendly atmosphere truly stood out. The rustic cabins added a unique charm, although they lack some modern amenities. The location by the river was serene, providing a lovely backdrop for relaxation and wildlife spotting. While the facilities were enjoyable, it’s important to know that it's not a luxurious hotel experience—it feels more like glamping.
