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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sierra Woods Lodge. The place was clean, peaceful, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was perfect close to nature but still accessible. Highly recommend for families and couples looking for quiet getaway. Special mention to The Rustic Table Restaurant. They serve tasty food at reasonable price.
