Check‑in was a breeze; you simply go to the main lobby at the resort and they take care of everything.The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. The beds were cozy, and it was a perfect place to relax after a day outside. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely...

Top Lake Alpine Hotel Reviews

Creekside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Manager on site is fantastic. Very helpful and accommodating. Property is rustic but clean and comfortable."

The Woodfords Inn

8/10 Good

"The breakfast is somewhat skimpy. You have to pick stuff up in the lobby and eat in your room. Nearby dining options are limited but the Cutthroat Tavern in Markleeville is pretty good."

Kirkwood Mountain Resort by Vail Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"it is off season when we went there, but we had great time staying in this hotel. the room were very spacious, clean and kitchen utensils are very nice to use. if you plan to cook , bring your own favorite seasoning. they just provide salt and pepper. we will go back for skiing in winter for sure."

Strawberry, Pinecrest, Dodge Ridge Riverfront Estate! Wow!

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 6 adults and 4 kids had a really FABULOUS time at the Briner's! Weather was gorgeous and the house was super spacious and comfy. It was also easy walking to the Strawberry Store and restaurant which everyone liked. Jim was extremely responsive when I had questions. Probably one of the best Hosts I have ever dealt with. LOVED the deck by the river. If you go, definitely bring your own small, propane only fire bowl since wood fires are a big no-no in the mountains. House is original sugar pine paneling so it can be dark in the inside spaces but there is overhead track lighting. There are lots of games to play for everyone . Kids' favorite was Cat Bingo! Bring extra dish towels and zip locks, foil and saran if you are cooking for a large group! My family and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Many thanks to the Briners!"

Desolation Hotel Hope Valley

8/10 Good

"We were here maybe 15 yrs. ago and the rooms were definitely more rustic. The updated rooms are simple, clean and cozy. The full and efficient kitchen was fine to make a nice dinner. The resort was winding down for the season and staff minimal and in late September the restaurant was closed so it was best to p/u food for breakfast and dinner. Minimal problems included the thermostatically controlled small gas fireplace that was somewhat erratic; sometimes the fan was too noisy at night. During the day the traffic noise made it difficult to enjoy the beautiful grounds, but quiet at night. Overall worth the stay to enjoy beautiful Hope Valley and trails on the property!"

Strawberry Inn

8/10 Good

"Only thing I would have liked a screen for the window so we could open the window instead of running the air conditioning."

HOT TUB, RIVERFRONT CHALET FAMILY & DOG FRIENDLY ON ACRE NEAR 3 SKI AREAS, hike

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time!"

Cozy Chic Chalet - Enchanting Family Retreat w/Hot Tub & Surprises! Dog Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time! Bryan was very communicative and flexible and helped us work through a few booking snafu's on our end. It was a wonderful weekend."

The only Bear Valley lakefront + beachfront cabin with ski in-out access

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second visit the the Bear Valley cabin by the lake. We will be back.The cabin may be the only rental available that has walk down access to the lake, which is one of the main reasons we rented the firt time and a reason we came back.Communication with Molly, the host, is genuinely one of the easiest VRBO communications I've ever had and I appreciate her thoughtfulness, quick answers, willingness to hear suggestions about what the cabin might need, etc. Renting a cabin/VRBO with hosts like Molly make travel life much easier.We will be back."
