This property was amazing! The access from the highway was easy and it was located within 15 miles of other sites to enjoy during the afternoon. All of the staff were friendly and attentive, always asking if we needed anything. There is an awesome restaurant onsite with complimentary coffee for guests in the morning. They have great prices and selections.

This was a good stopping point for us on a trip. There's not much else around, but there is a restaurant on site that's pretty good. The room was very dated but clean. I appreciated the friendly staff, fantastic view from the back of the lodge, and easy access from the 80. I highly recommend Sierra Discovery trail nearby, it's a beautiful walk in the woods.

Older hotel but was great stay for 1 night on our way to Lake Tahoe. After a long travel day, it was an easy check in and the restaurant attached to the hotel was such a relaxing place to enjoy supper and meal was reasonable and excellent. Ate there again for breakfast and was delicious. Best vanilla latte I have had anywhere and the staff could not have been more pleasant or helpful. Loved what they are all about in helping with the Teen Challenge program. So glad we stayed here and would stay again.

This is a "rustic" hotel that probably dates back to the 1940's so it has a little wear here and there. Rooms are clean although small, only frustration is that this place caters more to tourists so no desks in room. They have a restaurant but no alcohol license so no beer with your dinner, which is sort of a bummer. Otherwise a nice enough place for a quick stay.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was nice and warm, so we had a very comfortable stay. The attached restaurant was also quite good and the food was delicious. The only downsides were that the smell of the cleaning products in the bathroom was quite strong and the ventilation fan was very loud, but overall we had a good experience.

My fiance and I had such an amazing time here. We were looking for a last-minute getaway and there was one room left when I found it. From the moment we checked in, until the moment we left, the staff were very warm and inviting. The room was very clean - it did not have a fridge, microwave, or a/c unit so just be prepared for that. That did not matter to us though. It's perfectly tucked into a forest off of the freeway and the grounds were so stunning! We were able to play horseshoes which was super fun. Their restaurant on site has McDonald's prices, with AMAZING food options. The Brisket Mac n Cheese is a must try! It was quiet and a good location for us to have some adventures. There are so many good fishing lakes nearby as well. We will definitely stay here again. I cannot say enough good things about this lodge. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Oh and the bathtub...it was a Jacuzzi tub!! Which made for some nice relaxation after a long day of fishing.
