My husband wanted to get me out of the house so we took a drive out to Pyramid Lake which is owned and home to the Paiute Indian Tribe. It was a beautiful day to admire the beauty on a lovely fall day with blue skies above. I always like to seeing the pyramid limestone sticking out of the lake, we use to camp by the stone mother, but now the area is permanently closed to the public. Also, Pyramid lake is a by way to the black rock desert when accessing burning man. When camping remember to bring your own sun shade there is no trees at the lake. You'll need to stop and purchase a permit when camping and using your motorized toys. The lake has wildlife and plants unique to the area and the lodge has great views on a sunny or breezy day. Many people have caught huge fish out of the lake. It's a world class desert lake and a fishermen's dream. It's only 30 miles northeast of Sparks, NV. If you're in town and you're looking for unique lake experience this is the lake for you.

My 1200th review! And what better way than to review one of the better hotels that I have been to…read more I've stayed in just about everything over the decades; from the rinky-dink roach motels in the middle of nowhere to the more elaborate high-end hotels with premium valet service and high thread count sheets. This takes me to the city of Fernley, Nevada (about 30 minutes east of Reno on I-80) where my lady and I booked a one-night stay at "SureStay by Best Western - Fernley" from Friday 6/19/2026 to Saturday 6/20/26. Since I made the reservation via-Priceline (which I have booked a ton of trips with), this simplified the whole process. Total cost which included tax + XCover Protection came out to around $135. We arrived around 6:45pm as finding this place through Google maps was a breeze. Once parked, we made our way into the front lobby, provided the front desk receptionist with my last name, and we were given two key cards complete with the Wi-Fi password; all in less than 2 minutes! Once we entered our room, it smelled clean and came fully equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, 40" LED TV, king size bed w/four plush pillows, two nightstands w/lights on each side/charging ports, plenty of storage with two full size dressers, and a closet for hanging your clothes. The bathroom included an iron/ironing board, a 15-minute light timer, and excellent hot water pressure for the shower. Out of all of the amenities, everything exceeded my expectations with the exception of the heater/air conditioner as that was a bit loud and the TV which lacked many channels but no big deal as we were only there for a night. The exterior grounds were well-lit after dark and felt quite safe. I was able to park my vehicle directly outside of our room as this hotel had 24-hour surveillance cameras. One very positive perk was the swimming pool which was enclosed and climate-controlled at around 105°F. This may sound scorching hot but once in the pool, it made the whole experience quite enjoyable; especially since I love swimming. I took advantage of swimming on both Friday evening and Saturday morning. Finally, the complimentary breakfast options were quite amazing as they offered scrambled eggs, country potatoes, sliced ham, oatmeal, toast, muffins, yogurt, cereal, hot cocoa, coffee (w/creamer packets, half & half, sugar), tea, apple/orange juices, and waffles (on Sundays only). I also wanted to add that they have a decent working ice machine and vending machine. The primary reason why I booked this particular hotel was that it was much less pricey than many of the hotels in Reno. I also wanted to add that you have a ton of retail businesses & eateries, all within less than a mile. This includes a Walmart, Dollar Tree, Panda Express, KFC, Domino's Pizza, Raley's, Starbucks, a tire shop, and even a couple of casinos. My lady and I went to the Silverado Casino (only about 1/2 mile away) and ate at the Ranch House Restaurant. With the excellent service, competitive price, amenities, and close proximity to gas, food, and services, I am giving the "SureStay by Best Western - Fernley" an above average four-star rating.

The lady from the front desk is such a rude human, if you ask for something except an attitude to fallow. The kitchen was horrible god forbid you have serious surgery and need to bring food back to your room. The kitchen lady is the absolute worst person I have ever came across, truly have no idea how she even works for people a hotel . She screams at you if you need to bring food back to your room. Not normal behavior at all. What if the small area had no where to sit? Where do you go? Your room you would think but here its a huge problem. We had 13 people all together not in one room. So bringing some food back would give other guests a place to sit an enjoy there food. Only 4 small tables... She was an absolute nightmare to deal with. If u want to just throw your money away and leave disappointed come here. The website is soo miss leading we were excited at first but when u pull up it just gets worse and worse. Just like the other reviews say just keep driving the extra 30, its so much better. clean, better sleep, no nasty smells, no nasty attitude ... oh and you can bring food back to you room without a fus.

The room had a good working AC that helped with the 80+ degree weather. There was a mini fridge and 2 twin beds upstairs along with a quiet fan. The pillows were comfortable and didn't leave me with an earache like most hotel pillows do. The blankets were cozy and clean. I was happy to see the grounds maintained so I didn't worry too much about my dog getting foxtails in his paws. The pool area is pretty dope with lots of options to sunbathe or hide in the shade. I was skeptical about noise because our room was facing the street but it was really quiet. They have a brewery with decent snack options and a pool table. Prices were reasonable and food was good! I hope to return during a cooler time of year. So beautiful and peaceful with the option of a couple of small friendly towns to explore.

If you are ever in the Sierra Valley, I would HIGHLY recommend staying at the Gilded Drifter Inn!…read moreIt is super close to Sierra Hot Springs Resort and is nestled in some beautiful forests. Perfect for getting away and being out in nature. The town of Loyalton is super small and doesn't have much to offer, but the Gilded Drifter Inn also has a restaurant on it's property which is probably the town's saving grace. I highly recommend the pan seared potato gnocchi, truly a delight. My husband liked the Grilled Lamb Chops, where as I am in love with the Crispy Duck Breast. If we lived closer, I would eat there every weekend! As we were finishing dinner, it started filling up so I know we aren't the only ones who loved it. Chelsea, the host, is what makes this place special. She adds little touches to make it unique and heartfelt. And she is so warm and inviting, it's like you are immediately family staying at her house. From the little envelope with your name on it when you arrive, to the books everywhere, to the vintage artsy decor- you can tell she put so much love into this Inn! I joked with her saying I was going to move in because the vibe was so wonderful. The rooms itself were fairly roomy and incorporated the same vintage feel through out. The bed was super comfortable and she provided extra pillows to make our stay perfect. The bathrooms were modern, clean, and felt like you were at a spa. We stayed in the Clemens Suite, but next time we might bring the kids and reserve the Harte Room. I love that she has the history behind each name of the room and the Inn itself. She did a great job at preserving the history of the town. The only negative I have is that we didn't get to enjoy the backyard as much, but it wasn't the Inn Keeper's fault. The backyard was beautiful and serene, but the next door neighbor was obnoxious in making noise and had some political signs up. He's probably the town drunk so I didn't take off any stars because staying there was still five stars despite how ridiculous the neighbor was. We will definitely be back!

Looks like there were other burners with the same thought. Don't stub your foot on the bedframe. They should fix that. The casino/restaurant next door is great for a real meal; in the area are gas and fast food and groceries and a big evil box store that I will never visit.

This was our first visit to Lake Davis Resort, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more We stayed in Room 1, which is dog-friendly and perfect for our two pups. The room was spotless, comfortable, and updated with simple furnishings that provided everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The beautiful pictures of animals on the walls complemented the natural surroundings and gave the room a warm, welcoming feel that fit perfectly with the peaceful outdoor setting. We checked in at 4:00 p.m., and John made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He answered all of our questions and gave us a great introduction to the resort and the area. The resort is easy to access and located in a quiet neighborhood where we felt completely safe. Communication was excellent, every email and text we sent received a quick response, and Jaime (we didn't get to met her) and John was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. If you're looking for a clean, peaceful, pet-friendly getaway with outstanding customer service, we highly recommend Lake Davis Resort.

It had multiple TVs, including one in the dining/living area and one in the bedroom, a full kitchen, and honestly one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Anything we needed, John and Jamie were there to help and made sure we had a great experience. Our weekend getaway was peaceful, relaxing, and a great time away from home. We are already planning to go back in the next couple of months and hope to make it a regular trip for us.

The love and care that has been put into their guests having a perfect experience is obvious the second you arrive.

We stayed in the Feather Suite and it was spacious with a nice welcome book that tells you about the staff, the local restaurants, sites to see nearby and the number to text if you need anything at all. They do host a happy hour a couple doors down at Boomtown and depending on when you are staying, you may catch trivia night. Coffee and breakfast are pretty much right outside your door. Everywhere we went had #vegan options too. This location is incredible. You can fall asleep to the sound of the river or sit out on the patio to relax. Everything is just a few steps from your door.
