This beautiful resort caters to their guests with an array of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, educational lectures, kayaking and spa treatments - we are proud to have Yala's Bamboo Dreams® scarves offered at such an extraordinary place.

"Costanoa is on a quest to reduce the impact of our operation on the environment in which we live and work as we are constantly developing new programs and methods to reinforce our uncompromising commitment to the environment and to social responsibility."

Forty Lodge rooms are located throughout their two story North and South Lodge buildings. Each of their Lodge rooms feature either a king or two double beds, all the amenities and double french doors which open onto a patio or deck.

"From farm to table, our culinary team specializes in cuisine that high-lights produce from our Farm.

Cascade at Costanoa serves California coastal cuisine, local wines and maintains a commitment to using sustainable seafood & organic produce. Specialties include fresh local fishes, grilled meats and vegetables, gorgeous fresh salads, tantalizing homemade desserts, picnic items, gourmet coffee drinks, a kids friendly menu and much more," sounds delicious!

Costanoa even offers horseback rides on their 'World Class Tennessee Walking' horses. "Our adventurous rides will take you through the grassland meadows and pine forests surrounding Costanoa with ample opportunity to experience the famous Walker 'running walk' and the 'rocking chair' canter."
