Stayed here basically bc I was too tired to keep driving. I arrived late, rang the bell and quickly checked in. While the room is small, it was spotless, with a great shower! The bed was also very comfortable. The next morning, I had a fantastic breakfast at the on-site restaurant/coffee shop. The staff at the hotel and at breakfast were amazing. At the tail end of my breakfast, they had started their (impromptu?) local church service in the coffee bar area. I stayed and sang along a few hymns.
A convenient and affordable stop on the way to Tahoe. Quaint lodge in a lovely natural setting. The roooms are small a little dated; carpet could be cleaned or replaced. But the bed was comfortable and the shower huge with good water pressure. The breakfast (paid) at the restaurant was very good. Downside: the restaurant was airing a Christian missionary talk at high volume which did not make for a quiet meal. Note, this is hotel is a treatment center for recovering addicts, run by a faith-based organization out of Monterey County (which explains the missionary talk). A worthy cause and a place worth staying.
We stayed in the basement room (1 queen and bunkbed) which was perfect for our family of 4 with a dog. The room opens up to a big outdoor area, so it's extremely easy to to take the dog out. There was a small fridge and microwave so we had everything we needed for a night's stay. The only thing to know is that you have to go down two flights of stairs to access the room which may be an issue for some. Would definitely stay here again!
Good place to spend the night . Had to go to restuarant for ice and coffee but they were very nice and accommodating.

Good price/value
The lodge was overall okay. It was clean and had a great backyard space to relax in. There is also a restaurant barracked to the lodge which is convenient and a little postal office/convenience store. The bed was squeaky, the sound of the freeway was noticeable, and there was no AC (just fans) but good price/value.
Room was just what we needed, check in was quick and simple, everyone we encountered was super friendly and helpful, food at the rustic table was pretty good. The only thing was the no air conditioning, it was warm even at night and didn’t really cool off until about midnight or 1am. Will definitely be back but when it’s cooler 😜
Had a nice stay here over the weekend! The staff is very friendly and quickly accommodating to any needs. The lodge is tucked away in a quiet, but not too secluded spot, so it’s very easy to find, yet is in a safe area & away from any busy traffic. The highway is just up the road, but the road noise gets muffled a bit by the forest between - very nice! I’ll stay here again for sure if I’m in the area.
Expedia got 4/30/25 reservation wrong/ FAILED TO LIST MY TWO SMALL DOGS. Hotel staff were able to fix my need & put me in pet friendly room, thankfully since th e y had no vacancies yesterday! Pet area badly represented by add..down a very steep flight of stairs or by side of building down inclined slippery slope. Both dangerous at night for my 71 yr old self & my small dogs. Nice area when you finally reach area. Window by bed was open & i couldnt get it closed. Stuffed a pillow in it due to temp drop overnight. Couldnt find any way to turn on heat.
Convenient and cute lodge with restaurant attached
We've stayed here a few times and it's a cute lodge and convenient for our trip. Nothing special and low frills. The past 2 times we stayed, we were in a different room. This time the room was definitely older and needed repair. The ceiling fan had layers of dust on it and the paint and sheetrock was bubbled and needed painting badly.
