Gull lake lodge remains our fav place to stay in June. Consistent over the years.. wonderful customer service, clean, comfy, and cozy with modern upgrades and renovations. BIG PLUS is they have dog friendly rooms. Pet rules: two dogs max. $20 x dog per night. The small things like having soft plush towels, Mrs. Meyers hand/dish soap and kitchen stocked with cooking oil, spices, and ground coffee is a big plus. Kyle and Krissy are friendly and responsive over email. The other Gull lake team, the gentleman who plows the snow and walk ways are nice and friendly as well. We stayed in few different rooms and the cabins here and you can't go wrong with any them. read more

It's a cute little lodge. The attention to details is very charming. The management is very considerate. I will definitely go back.

Great location, off the main road, walking distance to June Lake and right next to Gull Lake, a very relaxing area for a lodge, pet friendly, the whole area makes it feel like you're at home. Very peaceful at night ,very quiet ,not used to that. Bring a noise maker if you need the noise cityfolk lol they do have a box fan in their room, work great for us . Another good ideas to get the lower floor,The stairs are meant for snow, they are metal and they are sharp on the feet, I give this place a rating of nine out of 10 they just have a couple quirks to figure out. sincerely, Christopher Deets. read more

For those that are looking at this rental to book, I advise you to be cautious. This business charged my card unauthorized, for something they are continuing to be dishonest about. I requested a policy and pictures and nothing was provided, and yet I was still charged for something there is no proof of. They charge a ridiculous amount of money and still want to scam you out of more. This was the second time this company lacked transparency and accountability. Their booking.com profile reports that they charge upon arrival. They charge 30 days ahead and then tell you to talk to booking.com about it. They have a choice to be honest and they're choosing to be unethical. Stay somewhere else if you care about good business practices, transparency, and owners who know a thing about customer service and honesty. read more

MANAGER OR OWNER: HAVE THE COURTESY TO KEEP YOUR DOGS IN AT NIGHT!!! They barked incessantly now(3:00 am) for about 4 hours!!! Got so bad that our 2-yr old granddaughter woke up crying, and part of our group in another room decided to pack up and leave now in the middle of the night!! This is totally unacceptable and ridiculous!!!! Other guests, let us know if they do something about these dogs - keep us updated! read more

I totally love this motel! Very updated and modern style makes you feel like you're at home. Rooms are self check in because they send you a code to get inside on the day of your arrival. We stayed at the Tioga one bedroom king suite. They are so spacious I felt like we're in our own apartment. We were able to bring our little pup with us. They have complimentary coffee from one of their local coffee shop with my husband loved! (Sorry we finished it all during our stay) Their kitchen has all the amenities that you'd need to cook a really good meal from oils to spices, knives, plates, pots, dish soap etc. like I said we felt like we were at our own apartment. If there's was a problem you can always text one of their on call staff. (Which we never did) The lodge it's self is very quiet, no loud noises from others that stayed there nor your upstairs guests. Overall we have enjoyed this stayed at the gull lodge. Im glad that we were able to book this and continue to book in the near future. read more

My family/kids, and many of my friends have been staying at the Gull Lake Lodge for many years with no complaints whatsoever in the past. It's proximity to town and resort are great, and even though the facility is older. However, since the ownership seem to have changed over the the past few years the quality and service has dramatically declined to an unacceptable level. For example we stayed there last weekend and got charged an extra $100 cleaning fee in addition to the already steep rate of $553.28 for 2 nights for a cabin that had NO hot water and a strict 10 AM checkout policy. Besides that we had to ask for cleaning service as our room had no clean towels upon our return from a day on the mountain?? We have become very disappointed with the declined in service at this property and would NOT recommend anyone to patronage this place. With all this said: We were VERY sad to see "what use to be a nice place to stay in June Lake" simply became a money trap with VERY rude staff and beyond sub-par service on all levels. :-\ Our advice: Stay away from this property. read more

We have been going to the Gull Lake Lodge for years and in the past we've had good experience here. But the last few times our family has visited we have been meet with problems... NO HOT WATER, EXTRA CHARGES & FEE's, and REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Our last visit we rented the "Cabin" and we experienced all of these problems as well as really bad water pressure. The Office Manager Peggie really squeezed and rushed us to get out of the cabin the morning of checkout at 10:00am which we found really rude especially getting the nicest lodging option they offer. I would avoid the Gull lake lodge and save yourself from a hassle. read more

All the years I've been coming to June Lake, I've never started at Gull Lake Lodge until this weekend. It is so nice! The check in and out are a breeze, the staff is so pleasant and the rooms.... Are so large, comfortable and clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. I can't believe this type of quality was available at such a great rate! read more

This place changed owners in the last year and not for the better. Beware their cancellation policy. It almost guarantees that you will pay a non-refundable room rate if you have to cancel. They charge your credit card 30 days before check in or immediately if you reserve within 30 days. Either way you can only get a refund if you cancel within 48 hours of booking or 30 days before check in. I have stayed in lots of places and this is the only motel with that sort of "no refund" policy. Most places are 48 hours prior to check in or even 24 hours prior to check in. I made a reservation 15 days before check in and needed to cancel seven days later. There was no mention of the refund policy when I called and made the reservation. The only exception is if the roads close. They would not even move the reservation to another date. We stayed here under the prior owners. Won't ever stay here again. read more

while staying there on the 24th of August, we hired a dog sitter to watch our dog while we were at a wedding. Well, she was going for a walk. Frida pulled away from the leash and pulled her collar off and ran away. We spent 4 1/half hours looking for her last two in the dark, there was many volunteers that were staying there at the lodge, I don't know their names, but I would like to thank them for spending so much time looking for our dog which eventually found her way back to our parking lot and was rescued. Mr. Gary Stuart. read more

Love this place. My first time in June Lake and I'm so happy to find this cute and charming place. Price is very reasonable. We had snow storm and has to stay inside our hotel. It's very cozy and I feel at home. Thanks to the staff who make this place very comfortable to stay in and clean. Highly recommended. read more

I have been going here for over 20 years. I am always pleased to stay at Gull Lake Lodge. Very clean, very pleasant to work with, very accommodating with scheduling. read more

This place was perfect, literally a block from Gull Lake. We usually rent a trailer and stay at a campground, but our reservation didn't happen at the campground. Gull Lake Lodge was able to accommodate us, and ended up costing less than our original plan would have. Our dog was welcomed and they supplied us with a pull through parking space for our kayak trailer. The bed was very comfortable and having a regular kitchen was a game changer. The staff was very helpful, we definitely plan on staying with them in the future. Highly recommended. read more

Great location located between Gull and June lakes. Very clean, older 1 bedroom facility - great service and very nice to stay. Initially we had an issue with the smell of natural gas in the first room but they quickly moved us to another room that was perfect. Kitchen was great to make a quick meal, have hot coffee, and keep your beer cold! Their BBQ outside was perfect - because other Yelpers remarked about it, I bought some steaks and garlic bread and had a fantastic meal in the alpine weather! Fantastic location if you are an angler or skier. We did both on the last weekend of the fishing season! read more

Gull Lake Lodge - Gull Lake Marina within 3 minute walk from the lodge. - Hotels Near Me - June Lake, California

Wow, unfriendly, rude and unhelpful. We gave them 3 weeks cancellation notice because of a dire health situation, and they won't give a refund, even though they will easily re-rent the room. They did offer a credit but as I explained this credit will never be used. read more

Spare yourself the possibility of grief and pick a different place to stay. After years of coming to this place we had an event cancellation and needed to change the dates of our reservation. The manager would not help us at all, she was completely dismissive and rude. Truly this hotel staff has no concept of customer appreciation and care as they refused to refund our deposit or allow us to apply it to a different weekend. We were saddened and angered at been treated with such disregard after so many stays at this establishment. Enjoy your travels and we hope you never go through this sort of experience! read more

Great place to stay! We (family of 4) stayed here over the weekend, Friday - Sunday. It's close to the lifts, about a 3 minute drive. The place was spacious for us. The full kitchen was great and I was able to make our family's breakfast and dinner with no problems. Coffee was provided along with sugar and creamer for each day we were there. It was a packet of Foldgers that you just make in your coffee pot. I would recommend bringing your own creamer if you can. They use the small creamers that sometimes get old if they're not used soon enough. The couch in the living room was a futon and my teenager slept well on it. The only thing with that is when it's seated up, the back of the couch is reclined a little. Still comfy though. We had the room with two full size beds. The beds could have been better but they are good for the price. We slept okay. Nice bathroom too. The heater is a wall unit and I was very loud in our room when we were trying to sleep. Our second night I lowered the heater so it wouldn't go off as much. If your on the downstairs and have neighbors upstairs, it could get loud with giants walking around up there. Overall, this place was really great for us and we'd definitely stay again. read more

I choose the Gull Lake Lodge because it was pet-friendly and wanted to stay around June Lake area. Nice place and the owners are really accommodating when I requested the quietest room possible because my dog tends to bark at any sound. Room came with full kitchen and was really cozy. Nothing fancy but is certainly worth the price. It's walking distance to Gull Lake. There is a park near by, but it said no dogs. I've stayed here several times and will come again. read more

Gull Lake Lodge - Gull Lake docks - Hotels Near Me - June Lake, California

We've stayed here on two different trips. The first time, we stayed downstairs, and the second time, upstairs. The suites are very spacious and can leisurely fit between 5 to 6 people, or even more if people are willing to take the floor. There's a kitchenette with a stove/oven, microwave-- Sufficient space for meal preparation and dining. I mean the kitchen comes with standard/average cookware, so with that in mind, plan your shopping/packing accordingly. The living room comes equipped with a full size futon and a solo sleeper. Make sure to pack your sleeping bags to lay atop either one. More importantly, the bathrooms are clean with cushy floor mats--minor detail but I really appreciated that. The few qualms I have with this spot are the shower heads which hardly have any pressure. The heating units are loud and trippy too. Couldn't distinguish between my buddy's snoring or the unit noise though. Crap. After writing this review, I just realized that I already wrote a review for Gull Lake Lodge. read more

I've been a guest at Gull Lake Lodge for 30 years and always had a great time and was always treated like family. Recently we reserved several rooms for a year in advance for a group of friends for a fishing get-together. The reservations were all set...and suddenly we all get cancellation notices because the owner claimed, without any proof, we were going to commandere his parking lot and invite everyone within the Eastern Sierra to take over his hotel. There might be some bi-polar or Dimentia issues going on here. But...i won't stay here again...as much as I love it...until there's a change in ownership. read more

After dealing with mammoth resorts and condos, one year i decided to go to June Mountain. It's only an hour away from Mammoth but a totally different feel. Gull Lake Lodge is everything that June is about. It's a family run, pet friendly lodge. I mean, when i checked in.. there was no one at the front desk.. only their dogs. lol.. it was too freaking adorable. I stayed at one of the one bedroom rooms upstairs. At first I thought it was going to be a pain, but it was nice to be high up to look out at the nature around us. The lodge is located at the end of this country road right by the lake. I even walked down to the lake right on the side of the lodge, it was just raw nature.. it was real...but not polluted.. just water and plants.. They also have separate multi-room cabins which i swore I would have been back to by now, but alas... have not had the chance to.. But I did bring a little kbbq up there with me. They had bbq grills outside of each room. We stank up the crisp winter air with my mom's marinated kalbi and we knew it was killing some of the people to smell it so we offered it to the other lodgers and also the staff. This is the friendly atmosphere that we were in.. everyone was like family.. I loved it. read more

I have been staying at this place for over a decade so I know what it's been like. It used to have a charming 'mom and pop' vibe. That's changed. Unfortunately, the new manager, Rose, is ruining that. She is not only rude, she's frankly unprofessional, not at all focused on customer service & dangerous. She actually entered my room while the 'do not disturb' sign was on the door and a teenager was asleep in the bedroom. She did not have permission to do so and this violates basic ethics and likely even the law (entering a hotel room where an adolescent is alone without parental consent). We have cameras. We know. We are not happy. What a disappointment. I hope the new owners are aware of what a liability Rose is. No guest should ever feel this unsafe. read more

Due to road closure on the 395, my family and I could not get to the motel that night from Bishop. We informed the owner and they insisted we keep checking until the point we could not find a place to stay the night at Bishop and were stranded. Doug (owner) calls me and says that there is no issue with us not coming that night since their guest that are currently in our booked room could not leave also and that we would not be responsible to pay for that night since they would charge the current guests. But, they would cancel the reservation on Expedia so they don't pay Expedia the commission fee but I still had to pay owner Administration fee. They are working the system. The next day, the 395N was only opened up only up to the 203, and cars escorted by CHP. So we get to Mammoth and all operations were closed due to power outage. I informed owner that Catrans said it was not safe and zero visability and 395 road again was closed. I informed owner and then get an email that they cancelled my entire reservation for the rest of the 3 days and forfeit my 2 day deposit of over $600 and administration fees. I told them we were trying to make it up there. They said I "was playing a game". What the heck game is it called when you'd rather be stranded instead of having accommodations and ski? They are playing a game! Only allowed me to get back my reservation when I offered to pay that day I couldn't check in. Some greedy owner! Also, I was not told that they would go into your room. They don't even make your bed, just put towels. We felt violated and I think they were snooping to see what they can deduct your deposit or charge $. After check out, I was deducted $23 from my $100 cleaning deposit for unwashed cups, chip wrappers my kids left in room and 2 dirty towels. When I asked why, they said there was a letter in the room with instructions, which I didn't it see. Beware! Cabin #16 is smelly. Had to buy 2 buy 2 candles and air fresheners. Stains on floors. Sinks stained, patch and paint, and shabby rooms. They will ensure they get their nightly rate, one way or another. They did no one any favors. When people are at their lowest, they will still still drag you down and get their money. Won't ever stay here again and will let my friends and family know. There are other local motels to support at June Lake. read more

Recently stayed in the two bedroom cabin. We lucked out with the awesome snow happening in April! Great location to the little town and June mountain skiing. Mammoth a quick drive away. Now about the cabin: The good- kept very clean. Loved the privacy of no shared walls etc! Stand alone cabin across the street from main lodge. Front porch has a beautiful view towards June mountain-you can even see the lift! Park right in front-room for two cars! Very quiet street. Six seats at dining table. Lovely wood burning stove inside and propane grill out back! Easy check in/out. Safe area. (An awesome thrift store down near the park. Kids could safely walk to the park and marina! Loved this!) One bathroom but the second bedroom has N extra sink. The not so good: Don't expect updated furniture etc. kitchen is stocked but NO counter space at all. Stove cooks a little unevenly. Ice maker didn't seem to work and they only have two broken ice trays that are impossible To get ice out. Even though clean it is very worn down. Front bedroom got to like 90 degrees with heat on and the rest of cabin was cold. Middle of the night the heater made some very scary loud banging noises-thought it was gunfire outside! No real coffee table just a tiny table In middle. One lamp in living room and it wasn't working. Still a nice and easy place to stay! read more

Gull Lake Lodge - View from cabin - Hotels Near Me - June Lake, California

Pictures don't due it justice. I wasn't expecting much. Our apartment was large and very clean. Lots or windows and good location. A park and the lake with marina just a street over. Every morning the marina had 10 cent coffee with a bonfire. My husband loved that. And they were pet friendly!!!! read more

Love this place. As a full kitchen. Refrigerator with ice trays. Wall heaters . I remember these as a kid . Love it. Little wall heater in the bathroom. Reminds me of my grandmas house. Plenty of room. Could have fit 4 people in here. Front desk Chris very nice. Would definitely recommend. Down town 5 minute walk. read more

Good location to Gull Lake and downtown June Lake. Room was more like a one bedroom apt.Spacious and spotless.

Having stayed at gull lodge several times in the past because it was next to the park where my event happens, my event was canceled. With 29 days notice Peggy refused to refund deposit or roll it over to next year. A few days later she offers me the room for a discounted price which I thought was a peace offering for a very bad decision on her part . Two days later the offer was rescinded. Really Peggy!!! On top of all this, the rooms are outdated and have a smell to them. I will never stay here again and urge others to do the same. I don't want to be treated this way read more

This place is so adorable and charming, and the people running it are wonderful. It was clean, spacious, a quick walk from the lake. We will definitely be back!! read more

Awful experience with surprise fake "cleaning charges". Last year this place was amazing. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very personable. My family was so excited to come back and have a great family vacation with our extended family all staying in about 5 different rooms on this property for the second time. This year we were very disappointed to be greeted by impersonal, rude, and uncommunicative staff. Then after we leave we were charged a $336 "cleaning fee" which the owner communicated was not for cleaning our room, which we did clean (dishes washed, as the sign stated in the rooms, towels and sheets from the futon put into a pile for easy pick up for laundry, my husband even took out all our trash for the 3 days we were there). The charge was for "vaping outside the room, we saw on camera all weekend". Why we weren't approached by a staff member and asked to stop or go to the smoking section we have no idea. The signs posted did not state vaping was included in the "nonsmoking" policy in front of the rooms. What did they clean with this money? Did they wash the walls and stairs that were tainted with vape smoke? Who knows. I am seeing review after review of dissatisfied customers who have been coming for years, decades, and just this past year are having just as bad of experiences as we are. Hopefully the Better Business Bureau can help us resolve this ridiculous "cleaning charge". From the second we arrived the staff didn't like us (our family laughs loud- we were on vacation!) and we honestly feel targeted for simply having a good time. We were respectful of being quiet at night, went to bed by 9:30-10pm and followed all rules (except the one that was not communicated to us). People shouldn't be punished for lack of communication. Don't stay here if you're looking for reasonable hosts and don't like surprise charges! Definitely a scam for the owners to penalize people they don't like. read more

My husband and I had come up on a whim wanting to use my new camera I had just received for my birthday at Mono Lake. Long story short we took a wrong turn and drove nearly 8 hours to get there. After spending a couple of hours at Mono taking photos we knew we needed a place to stay. We had brought all of our camping gear with us and began the search. We literally poked around looking for camping but many were full. We asked a nice lady at an ice cream shop in June Lake and she referred us here. It saved our trip! We were so exhausted. We followed a hand drawn map the lady drew for us and arrived at the motel hidden away in a quaint little neighborhood off the beaten path. What a nice surprise! Upon arrival we notice how clean it was outside and nicely kept. It felt...friendly and welcoming. The lady at the front desk was very polite and welcoming. We got a great room (all the rooms had different names). It was a very nice surprise to see that our motel room was literally a suite. We did not expect a living room, kitchen and dining area, separate bedroom, and good sized bathroom. It was a one bedroom apartment literally. It felt so comfortable and we felt like we were home. I could tell many things were updated including windows, tv, and bathroom sink. Many appliances were a little outdated especially in kitchen but it was so clean and kept well that it didn't matter. The bed was super comfy and we slept well. There were even extra sheets in closet in case you had extra company that wanted to stay in living room. Upstairs had chairs and tables outside for you to relax in..downstairs had BBQ grills you can use at your leisure. It was one of the most quiet and peaceful places we've stayed at ever. They even had REAL cable tv....not the crappy 3 stations + pay per view HBO. My only suggestions would be to put a tv in bedroom and to upgrade refrigerator. The fridge was immaculately clean but something about an old fridge makes food less appetizing lol Was everything perfect? Of course not...but I like the fact that they try hard with what they have to make things nice. $109 on a Saturday night is an excellent deal on a suite. I travel quite a bit and have lived in everything from really scary motels to five star hotels across the country. Gull Lake Lodge ranks very high on my list on value, location, and service. We are looking forward to coming back and spending more than a night next time. read more

Very disappointing this trip! Have been going here same weekend for 8 years. Never had a problem till now, they did not send or say they went from $140 up to $200 a night till we got there. So with talking with them about it they would not budge and did not care if we stayed, so we went elsewhere and it was lovely at the Double Eagle. We did up with a great Mothers Day So don't even bother with Gull Lake Lodge until the owners get their crap together and care about their customers I would give them a zero instead of a one if i could read more

The cabin was perfect for 5 adults and a dog. Great location, walking distance from Tiger Bar, and a short drive to June for boarding. Plenty of parking. Two bedrooms with a futon in the living room. Bonus that the "master" bedroom has a sink area. Full kitchen and a barbeque meant we didn't have to splurge to get some great meals. (Tip - hit the dining room lights in order to use the microwave.) Nice wood burning stove with a huge supply of wood. TV hookup accommodates Guitar Hero. The only slight inconvenience was the single bathroom... The days were near-perfect and sunny, the nights freezing and perfect for snuggling inside with a fire (the cabin had good working wall heaters as well.) Anyplace that's dog-friendly is way cool to me! And, what a deal - ended up being only $40 per person per night. Will be back for sure. read more

Went to June Lake on August 27, 2017 with friends to celebrate my birthday, fish, hike, and enjoy the scenery. Friends stayed at Double Eagle about 2 miles away. Eagle was fully booked and cost 40% more. We liked Gull Lake Lodge much more. Our room was huge, with separate bedroom, living room, kitchen/dining room and bedroom. It had a view of Gull Lake about a block away and the ski area(only our suite had a view in the whole Lodge). It could easily fit 4 people. Although dated, our suite was very clean and comfortable. The lodge is close to the June Lake loop and a short walk to stores, bars, the lake and marina. Vicky, the manager was a joy to deal with and cares about the ongoing renovation of the property. The first night we stayed in another room. Each suite is similar, but that one had stained carpet. The carpet was clean, but stained. Vicky said the carpet was only 2 years old and had been recently cleaned. It will be replaced shortly. The stained carpet was not a deal breaker for us, but Vicky offered to move us to the view room at check-in, since it was occupied that night. Besides sleeping and eating, we didn't expect, but got so much more. Motel 6 type accomodations would have been fine. It is pricey, but all accomodations at June Lake are pricey. Eagle is nicer inside, but the suite is half the size with a larger bathroom, no living room or dining area and a small kitchen with no stove or oven. The view is of a small debris filled catch and release man made lake. It is a spa though, with massages, pool, hot tub, exercise rooms, and dining facilities. That's nice, but not what I went to the wilderness for. Btw, rent a boat to fish. Tour the lakes for pictures. Caught 6 trout and one was a 12"! read more

This place was perfect for our fishing trip. We had a nice kitchen with full size fridge (to freeze your fish), living room area with tv, descent size bathroom, and real soft beds. We are near all the great fishing lakes, Gull, Silver, June. They also have like four to five bbq grills to cook up some fish or tri tip. But I recommend this spot big time if you plan on doing some fishing or to get away. read more

Gull Lake Lodge - Relax time - Hotels Near Me - June Lake, California

The owner is one of the rudest crooks I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Totally rude to my wife, accused her of lying and being shady when she was completely upfront with the manager and the 2 of them simply hadn't communicated. When we wanted to change our reservation, the owner said" Don't forget, I've got your credit card, and I'm going to charge you for everything" Do yourself a favor and give your business to someone that appreciates their customers, this jerk doesn't. read more

Pet Owners Beware!! Its a scam! Despite the hotel claiming to be pet friendly they are exactly the opposite. The owners are running a scam to charge people $500 if you walk out of your room without your dog. Apparently they have cameras up and the owners watch them all day. As soon as you walk out without your dog they send their rude apartment manager to your place to bang on the door and back window in order to see if your dog will bark. Then she locks the deadbolt and they charge your cc $500. You lose access to your belongings and animals until you go beg them to let you back in. Please understand we have been staying here for 12 years withought a problem. It's a new thing they are doing and while speaking to the owner he said "I'm in this business to make money". They are just price gauging pet owners and should just say No Pets Allowed. This is very unfortunate, as we will never be staying here again. read more
