It's a quaint little place out in the middle of nowhere. It was the perfect spot to lay down for the night. On our busy travels. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of room. There was a fan and each room beds were clean. Bathroom. Very nice. Excellent showers. The staff was so friendly and helpful and you got to eat after rustic table next door which was delicious. Everyone extremely friendly

The staff was very helpful & friendly. Parking was easy and the location is really nice and quiet. The restaurant has a wide variety of excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner entree's at reasonable prices. (for California) Their coffer is stellar. (they have an imported Italian espresso machine) They also have "drip" if you desire is "American coffee"..... And lastly, great value too.

No AC and temps in the 90’s, so we didn’t sleep well. Winter or lower temps are probably fine though. Very convenient to have a restaurant on site and the expansive backyard was fun for the kids.

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.

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.

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.

Cute and peaceful. Our room faced the meadow and low mountain beyond so we heard the chirping of frogs all evening. The owners are clearly catching up on deferred maintenance but our room was in perfect shape. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will come back!
