Enveloped in Splendor

Take in the beauty of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve on a hike or trail ride—or while sipping a craft cocktail in the bar. In a specially commissioned mural that spans all four walls, artist Jim Wodark pays homage to the canyon’s most iconic elements: its ancient rocks, cascading waterfall, and distant mountains. Masterful brushstrokes and a warm color palette capture the very essence of this natural sanctuary.

Lined with artwork of flora and fauna found throughout the canyon, the library features a wide selection of books curated by nearby Warwick’s, the country’s oldest continuously family-owned and operated bookstore. Grab a title to enjoy during your stay, attend book signings and other literary events hosted in partnership with Warwick’s, or just soak in the atmosphere while savoring a top-rated whiskey, bourbon or cognac.
