Where to Eat
Head over to Debbie’s Restaurant in Paradise for a hearty breakfast. This local favorite is known for its unique thin-and-crispy pancakes, delicious omelets, and friendly service.
Another must-eat spot in Paradise is the iconic Joy Lyn’s Candies, where our diet went completely out the window, and we left with more chocolate than an 8‑year-old on Halloween.
For lunch and dinner, there are plenty of local restaurants and cafes to choose from.
Things to Do
Head over to the nearby Paradise Lake for a fun day of hiking that includes gorgeous views of the lake, with plenty of shade for those warm summer days, as the trees provide the perfect canopy above.
Evening in Paradise
When you get back to your tent and rinse off in their onsite private showers, take a tour of the grounds, and make your way over to the aptly named Burnt Barn Distillery. When we visited, they were putting the finishing touches on the Distillery for its grand opening later in 2023, but we were lucky enough to get the grand tour from one of the owners.
Following the tour, our gracious host and her amazing husband sat down with us for a delicious dinner, as they shared tales of 2018’s Camp Fire that devastated Paradise and the remarkable community that came together to rebuild better than before. Our experience at Chappelle de L’Artiste was one we won’t forget, and while we can’t guarantee you will have the chance to sit down with the owners for a chat, we are happy to say that the host family of this beautiful property manages to outshine the property itself.
