The bath towels are plush and blue, rather than the usual institutional white. The bedspreads have georgeous patterns and the mattresses are comfortable. There are no motel cleaner and perfume smells. One can bring the car right up to the front door, making unloading and loading a breeze. On the downside: Our cabin was small, not a lot of space to move around. There was some traffic noise from highway 395 which abated overnight. The place had a friendly vibe of cyclists, hikers, and outdoorsy folks. We will be back!

There's a Creek running through and plenty of shade, along with numerous picnic tables on both sides of the creek. They also have grills in a bunch of locations, so grilling is an option if you bringyourown charcoal. There is also a large playground, a half size basketball court, and a couple of locations for horseshoes. Parking appears adequate and there is spillover parking to the South in 2 locations. You can even walk to the museum through the back trail. Definitely worth a stop to soak up some history and just calm.

Dan was extremely friendly and helpful. I had my German Shepherd outside on the leash and Dan insisted I bring him in. I had my 6 and 4 year old boys with the intention of finding somewhere to fish for trout. Dan helped me add to my gear and shared some places to go. He knew lots of places to go and what the fish were biting and it was true. So this is more of a "Thank You" to Dan. Than a review because sure enough, with the help of his guidance, we caught a beautiful rainbow trout! Thanks again Dan!

You get the feeling that it is a work in progress as there are rooms that are not rebuilt but the ones that are done seem like they were recently remodeled.

There are few options in this area but it is a nice halfway spot between Gardnerville and Orange County.

What an amazing campground. Let's start by introducing you to ranger Bob is amazing! Gave an intro…read morespeech about everything there is to know about the campgrounds. There's zero cell reception up here and even if you use satellite data, it's very spotty. The campground is pretty small, with roughly about 40 sites. Surrounded by tall trees, Mt Whitney, and the creek that falls downstream. Trout is stocked every Thursday, we arrived Monday and we still saw a lot of trout. We managed to catch 2 but these fishes did not bite even when the bait was dangling right in front of their mouth. The is a mama bear that roams the campgrounds especially at night so be careful and lock your car doors! This bear knows how to open car handles and will check every car. There is a bear storage so use it and make sure no food is lying around anywhere. The bear is said to be nice and it will walk away once she grabs what she wants. The elevation is a bit more than 8k. Amazing place, highly recommend. Will definitely come back sooner than later!

Nothing very fancy here. You have your basics. Comfortable bed, TV, air conditioning, and if you visit during the winter, heat. Exceptionally clean. Now, I'm not sure about the snacks next to the bed. There's quite a few of them. Cookies, trail mix, granola bars, soda.... I don't know if they're free? Or if you'll be charged for what you take. There's no message telling you either way. It's going to have to remain a mystery. I brought my own snacks. I'd love to tell you that the people who work/own this property are welcoming and friendly. But I didn't run into anyone. Not a soul was to be found. When you book online, you're sent the room number and the combination to open the door. So that's what I did. I tried to go to the office, but the door was locked. I also burned the heck out of my hand on the fricken office doorknob. LoL, it was like 107° in Independence that day. So this place takes non-contact to another level and gives new meaning to "Independence." Quick Tip: You may have to pull the plug on the refrigerator. It growls louder than my stomach. Oh, and the lock on the bathroom in room #3 is on the wrong side of the door. Should make for some fun if you want to lock a significant other in.

The time, love, & energy put into the hotel is evident at every turn. I'm amazed at the way they were able to maintain its original charm, yet elevate the design with the modern amenities needed for my comfort. I loved seeing the original woodwork in the lobby brought back to life & spending our evenings chatting near the rustic fireplace was the perfect end to our days after exploring all the Alabama Hills have to offer. We cannot wait to return in the fall!
