Great location. Cozy. Staff made a great recommendation for an activity (Bodie State Park).

Paul, United States of America

Beds were comfy enough for people with bad backs and want to stay at a value motel, way better than any motel 6, super8, or days inn. Staff provided us with free wood to start our own campfire. Also, hotel provided extension cords and power strips with usb all around the room. Easy access to to plug in all electronics....many hotels don’t even do that. View was amazing. close to hwy, but wasn’t loud at all once it got late.

John, United States of America

The location was beautiful, watching the sunset over the Sierras was a treat.

Seth, United States of America

Beautiful view of the valley meadow and mountains. Not far from town and lakes.

Kim, United States of America

Mike, owner/manager, was very kind and helpful. The grounds are kept neat. Great place for outdoorsy people/family. Great location. Couple of restaurants in town are pretty busy and the food is yummy. Parking (on rocky/gravel roads) are ample and close to the entrance of cabins. Pet-friendly accommodations - no extra cost!!

Jessica, United States of America

The beds were extremely comfortable, and there were all the amenities you would need. We loved being able to start a fire and they provided the firewood. Staff was so nice and helpful. I marked the bathroom is one less then excellent simply because of the age. But, it had hot water. Could the pressure have been better.. sure. But, it was fine.

Roseann, United States of America

I stayed in my own cabin (with king-sized bed), and it was nice that I did not have to share a wall with any next-door folks. The location was a bit remote--but, I suppose, that's the whole point of getting away from the everyday riff-raff of life, yeah?

Alexander, United States of America

Nice room however we noticed bed sheet had some hair and trace of being used already. We assume it’s not been changed. So gross. But we were so tired and late night to make complain. Other than that it was a great room.

Raymond, United States of America

The room was clean, but it is an old hotel and the carpet is worn out! they layed some rug over it, but it needs to be replaced.

Steven, United States of America

Cool little stop along 395. Grand views With cozy cabin feel. Coffee bar and microwave. Dogs welcome, friendly ppl working and running place.

Beds comfy, sheets were clean, but felt like they were wash with some tiny rocks or sand. Staff apologized and said they’d look into it.

Way to close to the highway and constant highway noise. Our unit only had two windows and only one with a screen and that one window was very difficult to lock. No air conditioning with limited windows resulted in unit being very warm at night. The shower is super tiny.
Beautiful view of the valley meadow and mountains. Not far from town and lakes.

Room is very basic, but has everything you need, with lots of towels and a powerful fridge. Plenty of barbecue/campfire facilities with chairs, firewood is even provided! Friendly hostess. Remote location so you're nice on your own. Great sunset view from the lawn.

“The rest of the cabin makes up for the small-ish bathroom and shower stall”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
The bathroom is on the small side. Being a small-framed guy (5'6", 210 lbs, 38"-40" chest), I was a bit surprised at how little space there was in the shower stall and, especially the toilet--and there is NO countertop surrounding the wash basin. That said, the owners made really good use of such little space.

Almost everything was dirty. Spider webs and ants in each corner of the lodge. Tons of dust anywhere you look at. You’d better not look behind the nightstands unless you want nightmares all night long. This place needs to be cleaned in depth.
