They basically are your own cabins with the fire place in each room and bunk beds for the kids. Very close to multiple ski resorts and very close to downtown truckee. Very clean, spacious and the guy I spoke with on the phone that manages the place is great to work with, I'm guessing he is the owner. Self check in with code at the doors to rooms make it easy. 10/10 recommend. Not a lot of snow right now but we will definitely be back with the family again next time we have a lot of snow. Possibly may even come back during summer to enjoy the lake. Price is reasonable, definitely worth every penny.

There were plenty of amenities and inclusions that shortened our rentals list and kept our wedding day running smoothly. The Rainbow Lodge team was highly professional and organized while also incredibly friendly and fun. Emily was prompt, detail-oriented, and helpful as we navigated all of our wedding planning logistics. The team has their operations dialed and it gave us great piece of mind to know that they'd keep the day running smoothly. On top of it all, our wedding dinner was delicious. Spencer and his culinary team were able to accommodate several dietary restrictions while keeping the meal flavor-forward. If you're looking for an intimate mountain wedding that can host all your people, the Rainbow Lodge will check all your boxes!

CON: Stove burner short circuited and almost caught fire, shower head was not working well and sounded like a jet engine (just as loud, too), there was a mouse in our unit, appliances and furniture strewn about the property. The cons aren't meant as a complaint, because overall we liked the place. These are just things that need to be fixed for a 5-star review.

We were lucky enough to find Kingvale Lodge Lodge instead. We were only intending to stay one evening but ended up booking 4 nights because of how great it was.

The king size bed and the pull out couch were very comfortable.The kitchen was fully stock with appliances, dishes, and cookware. There is a beautiful little Creek behind the lodge. The grounds were well kept. Management provided a clean environment, wore masks during check in and responded quickly to request for information regarding the area. We will definitely stay there again during a summer vacation near Lake Tahoe.

Pros: The motel is kitschy, rustic, and a decent value for the price especially compared to everything closer to the ski resorts. The junior suite was spacious and well equipped. Beds were comfy with a heavy comforter Heat was sufficient Back yard area has a fire pit (not for winter) and seating, lots of snow for the kiddos There's a restaurant attached but it's just ok - still, a major convenience if the weather is rough Cons: Parking lot and walkways were pretty covered with ice and not shoveled out well - I know they had a big storm the day before but it was hard to park and get small kids down to our room which was down a few flights of outdoor stairs One of the sinks had weird tasting water - the other did not, so I don't think this is just the local water Upstairs noise from footsteps or plumbing is very apparent - light sleepers beware.

While ordering, I thought "no way the steelhead could live up to that price," but holy Toledo: my adult daughter and I (who were splitting everything family style) almost went to fisticuffs over who got the third of the three generous pieces of fish. We also split a Chicory salad as well as the roasted beat salad, and both were sublime. Who knew a sliver of date could pack such a wallop, and the goat cheese croquette had some citrus-y thing going on that I'm still pondering fondly two hours later. To top it all off they brought out two (not-small) scoops of this obscenely dense chocolate Gelato that I am convinced must have had crack in it...

You're surrounded by a great, down-to-earth crowd, and it feels like a true mountain community rather than a typical hotel. The staff were outstanding across the board. Everyone was helpful and welcoming, even with the challenges of the storm. The biggest highlight for our family was the food team. Our son has a dairy allergy, and they went above and beyond to accommodate him. They clearly communicated which foods were safe, and on multiple occasions prepared separate options just for him. That level of care made a huge difference for us and gave us real peace of mind. A special thank you to Juan, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. From assisting with the reservation, to coordinating with the kitchen, to being a consistent and reliable point of contact, he made everything smooth and easy. If you're looking for a unique, authentic Sierra lodge experience with great people and genuinely caring staff, this is a special place. We would absolutely come back.

We arrived shortly after check-in time on a Wednesday and were able to get our keys without too much trouble, although the lady that was checking us in didn't seem too suited for customer service - she gave off sarcastic, "I don't want to be here" vibes. Our room itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Some of the items could have been better stocked before our stay, such as the tissues - I think we only had a few of them in the box so quickly ran out and had to request housekeeping bring more the next day. Housekeeping isn't done daily so you do have to request it manually if you need anything. There were a couple of water stains on the ceiling but nothing too major. All toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, and hand soap are provided and the quality is actually pretty decent. I was very impressed with the complimentary breakfast included in your stay. You have hot items like eggs, potatoes, and sausage as well as cereal, muffins, bread, oatmeal, and a waffle maker. The hot items rotate, too, so you don't have the exact same breakfast each day of your stay. Staff was friendly, and the common area was very comfortable with a fair amount of seating. I believe coffee is also available all day. There was a power outage during our stay that lasted around 6-7 hours but luckily it happened in the middle of the night so most people probably didn't even realize it and it didn't impact our stay at all. I just happened to notice when I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed lights not turning on and some electronics not working.

The Dutch Flat Hotel is truly a hidden gem!…read more Tucked deep into the quaint town of Dutch Flat, CA, lies this homey and welcoming inn. We stayed in the Dentist Quarters Cabin which was a delight! It's a compact house complete with a picket-fenced yard and rockers on the front porch. The inside is a collection of antiques and modern amenities so carefully curated it could be featured in a magazine! We dined at the restaurant where we ate top notch food while sitting in front of a wood burning fire. The experience we had here far exceeded my expectations and we will definitely be back!

We stopped by Dutch Flat Hotel with a group of eight and had a really enjoyable meal overall…read more The ordering process was simple. Everyone ordered at the counter, and the staff brought the food out to our table. The service was friendly, and the food arrived quickly, especially considering the size of our group. I ordered the Prospector's Burger and added bacon. The burger itself was excellent. It was juicy, flavorful, and easily the standout item of the meal. If I'm being honest, I probably wouldn't pay extra for the bacon again because it didn't add much to the overall burger, but the burger itself was absolutely worth ordering. I also tried the pesto chicken sandwich. The flavor was good, and the pesto was tasty, but it could have used a little more chicken and filling overall. The bread was fresh, and it was still an enjoyable sandwich.The fries were a bit overcooked for my taste and ended up being a little too crispy. One person in our group ordered the clam chowder special and unfortunately found it so salty that it was difficult to eat. Even with those few critiques, we had a good experience. The burger was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, the beer selection was solid, and the staff was friendly. We'd definitely stop in again if we were passing through Dutch Flat.

Service was perfect and they even made us breakfast and dinner. There is a great outdoor fire pit next to the river with plenty of wood and we made use of it at nights enjoying the calm and fresh air of the sierras. I just can't recommend this place enough.

The pros: Recently remodeled all over. The remodeling job looks like it was a complete…read morestem-to-stern project, not just slapping on fresh paint and calling it good. The floors, fixtures, beds, railings, and EVERYTHING outside is either new or well maintained. There's nothing old and tired here, with only a couple of exceptions. The property has a fair amount of frontage on the American River, which looks like it'd be a nice place to fish, although I did not try it. Adirondack chairs, fire pits, strings of lights overhead, and a tiny creek burbling into the American River all create a sense of peace and relaxation. Down by the river, you can hardly hear traffic noise from Highway 50, just a hundred yards away. So why only three stars? And what were the exceptions? The biggest problem is one of overall comfort. Our room was inexplicably stuffy. We tried opening the windows to get some cross-ventilation, but not much was happening there. Plus, with the blinds, which do a GREAT job of blocking out light, also unfortunately blocked any potential airflow through the unit, so if we wanted any flow, we had to keep the window AND blinds open, and anybody walking past could see clearly into the room. There was a portable air conditioner in the room, which helped bring the temperature down, but it came at a cost: it was noisy. So noisy it made it hard to sleep. So we either were kept awake because we were uncomfortably warm, or we were kept awake by the portable A/C unit. And if we opened the window in hopes of some airflow, we got a lot of highway noise, because the second floor of the motel was right at highway level. There's one smaller issue related to the remodel: not enough electrical outlets. For a place that was probably built in the 1950s, the number of outlets was probably typical. Now, however, we travel with stuff that needs charging overnight. The desk clerk had an unusual attitude, too. When we checked in, it felt like an interrogation. Rather than ask questions, he blurted them out as if they were accusations. "NAME?" "PETS?" There was no greeting, and there were no pleasantries. Not necessarily rude or hostile, but certainly not welcoming, either. Lastly, and this is neither a plus or a minus, but rather a point of nostalgia. It's probably been at least 25 years since we've seen a room key with a plastic tag on it. Most lodging places have gone to cardkey locks of one sort or another, so it was actually kind of a cool throwback to have a real key with an iconic diamond-shaped tag. Would we stay at the Sierra Inn on the River again? Possibly. But if the weather was warm, we now know to run the A/C immediately to bring the temperature down before we settle into a nighttime routine.
