10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Reo's Ranch in Lone Pine for our Mt. Whitney hike (Aug 6–9) with a group of 8, and it was hands-down one of the best stays we've had. The house is spotless, spacious, and comfortable — plenty of room for our whole group without feeling cramped. The living room gave us a great space to relax and regroup after the hike, and kitchen utensils made cooking for the group a breeze. Beds had clean, fresh sheets and towels waiting for us, and the AC kept the place cool and comfortable even after long, hot days on the trail. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient — easy access to both Whitney Portal and Lone Pine town. The front yard is spacious enough to park several cars, which was a huge plus for a group our size. And of course, the views are unbelievable — you couldn't ask for a better backdrop before or after a big hike. On top of all that, the owners were wonderful — great communicators and genuinely caring hosts who made the whole stay easy and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone tackling Mt. Whitney or just visiting Lone Pine!"

"We stayed in the raven tipi for one night to break up a journey from Yosemite to LA. A great experience for a family. The area is remote (off the 395) and close to Death Valley National park. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed an early morning swim the day we left in a large pool. The bar and cafe does serve some food and there’s a garage close by where supplies can be bought. It was good value for a family of 5. It is not a hotel don’t expect a 5* hotel. Definitely an experience we’ll remember - staying in a tipi in a remote desert."

"Wonderful Stay in Lone PineWe had a wonderful stay at this Lone Pine property. We spent a couple of days here before heading out on a week-long backpacking trip into the Golden Trout Wilderness, and it was the perfect place to prepare for our adventure.The property was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to town. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout the entire process, making everything easy and stress-free. We especially appreciated the large living room area, which gave us plenty of space to organize and load our backpacks before hitting the trail.The property has also been nicely updated and was very comfortable during our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. If we're back in Lone Pine, this will be our first choice."
