"Nice little place that was perfect for 2 days in Lone Pine. It would be nice if they added a $30 Roku stick or something similar to the TV so you could actually use it. Otherwise, plan ahead and bring your own or a HDMI cable so you can plug in your laptop. Other than the TV being useless, the place had everything needed. I'd totally stay here again."

The kitchen was an awesome place to prepare a celebratory dinner after our hike. The swimming pool and hot tub were a great amenity considering our physical condition after the hike.
