Nice old-school motel, right on the Trinity River. We had a kitchenette, which was well appointed. The grounds are large and the lawn runs right down to the river, with plenty of seating, fire pits, BBQs etc. Great place to hang out. Highly recommended read more

Indian Creek Lodge - Hotels Near Me - Douglas City, California

This place checked all the boxes. Clean, everything worked, nightstands on both sides of the bed, good tasting tap water, friendly staff, fabulous huge backyard with Gazebo, BBQ with propane and tools and the river. We'll never stay in Weaverville again. Fair warning, it's 8 miles from town. They have munchies and microwave food available in the office. There's now a cafe on site open five nights per week, but we did not eat there nor review the menu. Your other dining choices are in town, except for the BBQ in the yard. read more

Indian Creek lodge is awesome. If you're up fishing or hiking Indian Creek is a super clean and well appointed place to stay. Hey you're not going to get a 4-seasons out in the Trinity. But this is a great next level hotel. I'm usually here in the winter so it's cold and damp. AND I can still write great things about Indian Creek Lodge. You can yell the ownership takes pride here. Rooms are very clean. I think they recently changed out all the beds. Bedding felt new too. Bathrooms are all tiled showers and felt better than some "fancy" places I've stayed at in big cities. Setting is right on the Trinity River at the Indian Creek confluence. Lots of grounds to run around on in the summer. They even have a pool (casting ponds - ha). Hightower recommended stay. Clean and safe. Giving 5-star in relation to other options up this way. read more

My first high school job was at this lodge 30+ years ago and I thought it would be fun and nostalgic to stay there on an infrequent return trip to Weaverville. I knew that this is a motel that was built early 60s but they have done a nice job of updating the rooms and most of the fixtures. The kitchen and room were well furnished. The bathroom, however, was really difficult for an older person with arthritic knees. The toilet in the room was very short with no bars or anything to help. The shower is original and, again, not terribly easy to get in and out of with old knees. The location is great --right on the river. The grounds (pool, fire pit, gazebo, etc.) added to the ambience. The staff were also very nice. So I'd highly recommend this for a young family, etc. But it might be better to stay in a newer hotel if you have mobility issues. read more

Indian Creek Lodge - The view from our the room's back patio - Hotels Near Me - Douglas City, California

On a 3-day fly fishing trip to the Trinity River, the Indian Creek Lodge (the "ICL") is a most excellent value for the money. This is the 3rd time I've stayed at the ICL to fish the Trinity. My ground-level room was spacious and very comfortable, especially with a very efficient electric heating unit that kept the room nice and warm as the overnight temperatures were dipping. My room had a ceiling-mounted fan that also helped keep the room warm. The ICL definitely caters to fly fishermen because, immediately outside one's room, there are a pair of sturdy hooks to hang one's waders to drain/dry. Also provided is a decently-sized, lipped plastic tray so one can remove one's wading boots and waders without having to make a mess. Since the ICL is conveniently located 35 miles or so west of Redding on CA State Route 299 in Douglas City, river access in either direction east or west is super convenient. In fact, the Trinity River passes through ICL's back yard making bank fishing really convenient! Its wifi was very reliable and signal strength was excellent. A number of dining options as well as a Holiday Market are available in Weaverville, a short 15-min drive west of the ICL. On my 2026 pilgrimage to fish the Trinity River, I'll most certainly reserve a room once again at the Indian Creek Lodge. read more

The staff are outstanding: super helpful, responsive and thoughtful! The location is right on the Trinity River too.

Reserved 3 rooms for a Sunday night. First of all, no one explained that the $100 was a booking fee (I was making all three resrvations for convenience) and that they would charge my card for all 3 rooms before check in. Rooms are nice and very clean. That is where the good ends. Our bathroom flooded after the next room used their shower. We used all the towels and rug to sop the water up. We were afraid to use the shower as we didn't know if it would leak into their bathroom. Explained it to the front desk when we checked out. She said she would have the manager call me the next day for the credit I had asked for ($100 off of $214). Three days later, no one had called so I called again. This time the manager told me she would have to talk to the owner. Never heard back. Very poor customer service and lack of response by management. read more

I didn't stay here, but absolutely would. I was driving to see a friend in French Gulch from SF and missed the turn. I knew I had went to far and this was the first business to stop at to ask for directions (I had no service to update my navigation). Genny at the front desk went above and beyond for me and printed out a map and explained how to get where I was headed. If the rest of the time is anything like my quick experience, I'd likely give six stars if possible. read more

Beautiful location right along Trinity River. Great customer service. Pool, group entertainment room, covered patio, pool, kitchenettes, clean. Great place for vow renewal, family get togethers, or just chillin read more

What a great little cozy place we stumbled on, so beautiful and peaceful. You can sit down on the River and just listen to the birds and we had a few river rafters go by. Rooms are clean with great AC and the prices are great. Took a cool little trail down to another section of the River and of course my Husband had his fishing pole. Highly recommend read more

Very friendly office staff. Rooms are clean and well maintained. We stayed in the penthouse room and were impressed with the size of the room(s). Beds were a little hard but manageable. Had fresh ground coffee given to us at check in and more available upon request. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Indian Creek Lodge is an amazing place to stay with all of the best amenities surrounding it. However, since we went the last week of July, there was a brush fire in the area which made it a tad bit smoky. But overall, I would recommend this place. It is an amazing property with the Trinity River flowing behind it, a really nice gazebo in the back with lots of green grass and trees for miles!!! Scenic, picturesque, beautiful are words I would use to describe the beauty of the surroundings! The Lodge itself was amazing. Super comfortable beds, coffee in the rooms, fridges, the en-suite bathrooms were amazing and overall, after coming in from a tough day of fishing, this is the perfect place to relax. Would I recommend? Yes Will I return? Heck Yeah!!!! read more

To John L -Owner: In response to your comment: I'm not sure why this didn't post before but, never too late... I hope since your poor attempt at making me look like a bad customer you got better management. I've heard rumors... Considering I have 10+ witnesses that would agree with me, you may want to re-consider making me sound like a fool when I was a paying guest and paying you over a thousand dollars for the 3 days. Your management are the most un-professional people I have ever done business with, and as although I may be young, I am a business woman myself and would never treat any of my guests or customers in the way that we were treated upon arrival. If you like I can have the other witnesses also review on your business ranging from ages 20 - 60, people of all different cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. One being a war vet/ vietnam veteran. In fact due to your comment to make me sound like a liar I think I will go through with making them all write their reviews, I think your future customers will realize how much I am not lying. You should re-think the management you have running your business as the man is a hothead and one day will do something that will make your business go down worst than it already is. Also - I really hope you're not the one that found my review "funny" because that makes me realize how much you truly care about your business if you find results like this to be amusing. read more

I wish there was a Zero Star.. Stay far far far far away from this establishment if you have a service animal. They will take your money and then once you leave will put you on the "no renters list". They sent us an email the second we left. We had a service animal already registered with them from a prior stay. When I made the reservation, I included that that animal was returning but the new service animal for the other guest was going to be staying for the first time. I was advised to hand the NEW service animal card when I got there. I left my ID and service animal card at the desk. The grumpy old man, who was blowing cigarette smoke into our room all morning didn't look at either and quickly pushed me out. I find it funny how you can not have a service animal but at 8 am can get secondhand smoke in your window from a employee... Once we left, Mary emailed us this : Katelyn, We have added a $35.00 pet fee to your reservation for the 2nd dog that was with you. Unfortunately we have also added you to our Do Not Rent list for not disclosing to us at the time of check in that you had the second pet that was not a service animal. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me Mary Manager My Response: Morning, Service animal was already in your system from prior stays. Service animal was not in your system, when I called to make the reservation I was told that Hudson was already in the system THEREFORE upon checking in that's why I showed the service animal that has not stayed, Archer. Thanks , Katelyn I provided Mary with the correct documentation of both service animals, 1 they should have had in their system since they took a copy of it last time. As well as the new service animal that the old man didn't look at yesterday. This is what I got in return: Katelyn, I need it to be noted that we at no time asked for these ID cards. As you know the organization you acquired these from is not a legitimate form of ID for animals covered under the ADA laws. As we cannot prove that your animals are or are not Service animals, there are a few things that caught our attention as to cause doubt; They were not leashed while transporting to and from the vehicle, and they were left alone in the room while you were out. I have confirmed with all parties involved in making the reservation, and checking you in, and I feel you were not at all honest with us about having 2 dogs with you. This is the reason we are asking you not to return to the property. Not the Service Animal issue. You will not see a pet fee on your reservation. Mary Manager I was told that my federal issued documents were not a legitimate form of ID... If you have ever stayed at this establishment you know you can pull your car door right to the front door of your room. I have a Subaru with a hatchback while carry luggage I opened the hatch back and let the dogs in. We were being watched the whole time, without a single word said to us. We spent over $100 at the cafe, $24 on a local mug, and $155 on the room. Not including all of the other times we have spent lots of money here. I wouldn't have minded if Mary wasn't so unprofessional, we could have easily worked through the issue, and the misunderstanding from her lazy employee who shoved me out the door upon check in. The lack of real communication is sad. People who sit behind computers and can't face real life problems are scary people. DONT GO HERE. Not for the service animal issue... but because YOU ARE BEING WATCHED read more

Extremely clean facility and management and staff who all focus on the guest experience. In a region where hospitality is friendly and well-intended (but often misses the mark), Indian Creek Lodge stands out above the rest for highly PROFESSIONAL and committed service. Well-appointed rooms with modern conveniences in a near-rustic environment offers the best of all worlds. Serene, pleasant, and proximate to the river (which passes by the rear of the property, equipped with a sitting area), it is a modern and convenient place to stay in the region. The town of Weaverville (only minutes away) offers a wide variety of restaurants. The AIR CONDITIONED (with quiet and modern units) is wonderful and distinguishes this facility from most others. The internet also functions wonderfully (in an area where cell service, itself, is nearly non-existent). The staff, however, if the VERY BEST PART, as they are sensitive, respectful, and, when appropriate, proactive. A great place to stay! read more

Some people in their reviews thought it was fair to compare this place to a five star resort. That's not really fair. What it should be compared to is the average fishing lodge. In that case it stands up well in comparison. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The bedding linens are good. There is a touch of fishing decor, but it's not over done. The bathrooms and little kitchens have a bed and breakfast/cottage vibe. All cooking supplies and toiletries are available. There's even a back porch with a BBQ and picnic table with a lively view of the grounds and river. The grounds are a well manicured meadow with quirky log furniture and gravel paths. There is a swimming pool and here is where they lose points. It is NOT heated. They provide beach towels and floaty toys but it is as cold as the river so nobody swims in it. I wAs very disappointed because I brought my suit and was looking forward to a swim. The staff were very nice! The Cafe food is stellar. read more

This is such a cool older motel!! It's very clean! They even give you (the BEST)grounded coffee for the coffee maker in-room!!! Looks like it would be very fun to stay here when the fish are running!! The beautiful river is right behind this place!!! Next time I'm bringing my fishing pole!!! read more

We had another great stay at Indian Creek Lodge. Thank you to Rich and the team for making every effort to ensure That we had a great stay.

These are excellent accommodations! The old bridge rafting company that referred us to this lodge also picked up the raft from this lodge at the end of our rafting trip. The whole experience was very much enjoyed. The condition of the roomd are top notch! little historic town of Weaverville is close by. The fresh ground pour-over coffee is a nice touch. read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful, rooms are cute and rustic, very clean and smelled nice...staff had turned our lights and heater on for us before we got there...very nice touch...grounds were beautiful!!! Definitely going to make the trip here again read more

This place is absolutely positively amazing!!! I found it on hotels.com, but didn't book through them because I was traveling with my dog, so I called them directly to see if they allow pets. The lady that answered the phone was very friendly and let me bring him. When I arrived, the man, and the woman who I spoke with on the phone, were very helpful and welcoming. They booked me into a two room suite with a kitchenette! I had my own back patio with Bar-B-Que, and table. I asked where I could buy some charcoal for the grill, she said she would just give me a bag of charcoal. On top of that, she added lighter fluid to boot! I decide not to grill, but to go to their cafe for dinner instead. I sat outside in their little cute garden patio and had a delicious dinner. The server was very professional and nice as well. They let me buy a glass of wine and walk it to the river, right behind the restaurant/lodge. Around dusk, other guests were coming out and converging around the fire pit. A family from the Netherlands was roasting s'mores. We were all gathered around, talking, getting to know one another. It was a very peaceful, relaxing environment. My room(s) was perfect, clean and accommodating. Everyone on the staff was friendly and warm. They let my dog have free reign of the property, which is absolutely gorgeous. Oh, they have a pool as well! This place is definitely NOT your corporate chain, white washed carbon copy hotel. If you are trying to stay away from those kinds of places and want to be out of the city, to relax in nature, this place is for you. I will definitely be coming back next time I travel through here. read more

Despite booking a room with separate beds, they had assembled our room as one king. Without additional charge, they upgraded us to a two bedroom unit that more than suited our needs. The kitchenette was nice (we didn't use it) and rooms were spacious. The shower was more than adequate but a little dark with the shower curtain closed. read more

This is the best place to stay in the area!! My husband and our year and a half year old son came ro the area to visit friends and we're referred to stay here. Our room was beautifully decorated and very clean, and included a microwave, coffemaker, and refrigerator which is a must have when traveling with kids. On our first night we noticed our heater wasn't working, so we informed the office the next morning. After we left for a couple hours, we returned the a staff member saying they were going to upgrade us to a 2 bedroom room with a kitchen because the heater in our current room wasn't working. We were beyond pleased with the service we received, we did not expect to be upgraded to a bigger room. This room was great! It had a queen bed in the main room with a table and chairs, a flat screen TV with DIRECTV and free WIFI and a closet. There was a sperate bedroom with another queen bed and twin bed as well as a sperate closet. This room also had a kitchenette fully equipped with cooking utensils, dishware, silverware, appliances and more! There was also a backdoor to our own patio with a bbq. The view of the river from our room was stunning! There are beautiful pathways going from the rooms to the river as well as a great firepit area. There's a pool that would be great in the summer time. There's a horseshoe pit that we took advantage of. There's also a restaurant on property! I've heard the fishing here is amazing! This is definitely the place to stay for anyone looking to stay in the area, go on a fishing trip, or to just get away for a relaxing, quiet and peacefully trip. The staff, from the reservations, to checking in, to getting help with our heater, and to getting our new room was far beyond any service we have had at any hotel. We will be staying here every time we are in the area. We definitely look forward to our next stay! read more

I'm a little puzzled by all the five-star reviews here. Based on what I read, I was expecting a top-notch resort, but let's be clear: it's a motel. The kind of motel where they feel they have to specifically warn guests not to clean fish in the rooms. We arrived fairly late, after dark, and the front desk guy called us to make sure we were still coming. He was friendly and answered our questions knowledgeably, and gave us recommendations for breakfast the next morning. The rooms all open onto the parking lot, but we were just about the only people there that night, so the place was very quiet and we didn't hear anyone else. Our standard room was medium-sized with a vanity and a separate little closet/storage area. The decor was what I'd call "country fishing cottage" -- lots of white lace and fish-embellished throw pillows. There was some scuffing and damage to the paint and walls, especially around the baseboards in the bathroom, and the towels were scratchy. We had a flat-screen TV, but their cable only had weird random channels (you can check out a DVD player from the desk, but we didn't know about this until the guy had gone home). The wi-fi is pretty weak and the room instructions warn you not to use it to stream or download large files because there won't be enough Internet for everyone. I get that this is primarily a fishing lodge, and for them, it's probably an awesome feature that you can just walk out the back and the river is 100 feet away. And granted, we didn't use the pool because we just stayed one night and left in the morning. But mostly it just seemed like a clean, basic motel with average amenities. Communication was great before and during the stay, but apparently they put my boyfriend on their mailing list and he's been receiving unwanted emails regularly since then, which is annoying. 3.5 stars, rounded down because of the email thing. read more

When I rate Indian Creek Lodge with the maximum stars provided by Yelp, I feel that I've been unfair....the experience I had there earns many many MORE stars. I had heard about the Indian Creek Lodge thru several guide friends I have, but after having passed by the place EVERYTIME I fished the Trinity River, I'd never stopped in. WHAT A MISTAKE to have passed up on a stay here all those years. Honestly, as I drove by, I had always thought the place had to be outrageous in pricing. I mean you look at the property and see a beautifully maintained facility. Its situated smack dab on the finest fishing grounds available to the Trinity River... in fact you can walk directly from your room on a wide and easy, graveled pathway directly to several portions of the water.. fly fishing, hardware guys ...anyone with love of nature and outdoors will find a stay at Indian Creek Lodge rewarding...and truly inexpensive at that. I had in my mind all those years that they would easily command $150 to $200 dollars a night..but my stay was not even HALF that cost. Kurt was maybe the nicest, and quite personable inn keeper I've ever encountered in all my travels. He and his staff made certain that I had everything I needed and gave me all the information one might need about fishing, history and latest weather and environment reports. The added feature to staying at ICL, is it's proximity to many other fine fishing and hiking areas. There's Steel Bridge, Lewiston,Trinity Center, Coffee Creek just up river..Hay Fork, Douglas City, Weaverville, Junction City, Helena just below. I am a photographer as well as a steelhead, trout and salmon fisherman...and with that said, I found all my passion in these practices, lit up brightly from my stay here at Indian Creek; so much so, that I spent much more time with camera in hand than rod and reel.... no fish, but many wonderful photos...and I've been smiling ever since! From now on, Indian Creek Lodge, Kurt and all the fishing and photo opportunity there, makes this my "go to place" for the love affair I'm enjoying with the Trinity River! Don't pass them by! read more

The lodge has undergone a facelift with newly remodeled rooms and a new chef in the Cafe Kitchen. Everything is tasteful but not over the top. Indian Creek is a charming and welcome place to get warm in a nicely appointed room, discuss your day with other anglers/guests in the lounge and enjoy a lovely meal in the Cafe/Restaurant. The restaurant opened the second night of our stay much to our delight. We made reservations which are advised and slipped into a 6:30 table for two. With one look at us, the staff quickly offered up a 4 top as it would fit us non-petite anglers much better. Much appreciated. The menu is compact but not lacking in any way. And we chose from a variety of tasty options. One was an entree of Lobster Mac-n-Cheese which was scaled down to an appetiser without hesitation from the chef. Delicious! I ordered the Ribeye as my main and it was cooked perfectly. Nicely marked and medium rare as requested. I have been surveying the local Ribeye offerings around redding and weaverville for years and this steak finally hit the mark. My partner ordered the Lamb Chop special and this too was cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly and approachable. Weather you are staying here or just in the area, I think the Cafe is your best bet for a delicious meal. read more

The setting here is pretty spectacular, with a flowing river running behind the motel structure, but the motel itself seems like a blown opportunity to exploit the setting appropriately. Rooms are pretty hum-drum, with showers the size of broom closets, hot water that can suddenly give out during a shower, sparse furnishings, TV screens too small to watch comfortably without a pair of binoculars, and single clothes racks substituting for real closets. Walls are thin, which means you are privy to any noise-making activities outside or in the rooms next door to yours. Supposedly the property is marketed toward fishermen and other outdoor sportsmen who, we are told, have little interest in upscale accommodations. Maybe that is true -- but other kinds of travelers are hereby forewarned. read more

From the very minute that we checked in to the time we left it was a very good experience. Kaitlin checked us in and was so friendly that Strange enough, I wanted to be her friend. The room was extremely clean, which is important to us. The pool was refreshing and clean, pool towels were available. As we checked in early, we had time to play horseshoes, corn hole and an adult size jinga game. The one thing that we were a bit irritated about was the "Cafe". Don't let the title fool you, we ordered the special and silly us, we did not ask the cost... Luckily we shared a meal so that we could have dessert and our bill was $75.00. The special cost us 45.00. Our beverage was water. Dinner, appetizer, and dessert was 75.00...whew, that was a little ridiculous. We took one star away because of this. read more

The location is beautiful, as it sits right next to the river. The people are very welcoming and helpful. Jason Miller (the maintenance man) was exceptionally wonderful.

Very friendly and accommodating stuff! Thanks to Ben! read more

This is a great place. The new owners are John and Elena, and they have an excellent management couple now, too. Rooms are big and clean. Beds good. Kitchenette units even better, with back doors and barbecues. Lots of nice extras like hooks for your waders and chairs outside for putting them on. They have a meeting room upstairs and now a cafe with a restaurant kitchen, for catered events. I can't say enough good things about this place. I also forgot something, and they mailed it back to me. But the best part is wading out into the river RIGHT THERE whenever I want to fish. Love this place and these people. Very good value and the location can't be beat. Close to Weaverville and Lewiston Lake. read more
