Top Cal-Ida Hotel Reviews

Outside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It's a one-of-a-kind place - sort of like a motel on steroids. Each room has its own meticulously curated 'theme'. The bed was comfortable. Everything works and the front desk staff is top-notch."

Northern Queen Inn

6/10 Okay

"Stayed in Chalet 302 for a quick overnight. We chose this option based on pictures from the website and we were quickly disappointed. It looks as though this chalet has not been updated since... ever. It smelled super musty and dusty and felt super dirty. For one night, it was fine, but I would not have subjected the family to more than that. For how bad our Chalet was, I do feel like this property has soooo much potential. It looks like other units and some of the rooms have been updated and I hope that continues as the property over all is really cool and in a great location. The lady at the front desk was also super helpful."

Charming 1-bedroom Cabin in the Forest Nevada City with AC, WiFi

8/10 Good

"Very cute little cabin! We loved the decor and feel of the place. One thing that surprised us if that this cabin is actually attached to a house where the family lives. When we pulled up we thought maybe we were in the wrong place because the listing doesn’t mention it being attached to the main house. There were multiple trailers or dwelling units (2-3) and other people living on the property so it seems. We thought it was a stand alone cabin. It ended up being fine but definitely something that should be clarified in the listing. The living space was cozy and the little backyard was very sweet with plants and places to sit and enjoy the nature. One small glitch, the hot water heater wasn’t working on our last day when we went to shower. Not sure what happened with the unit but it beeped strangely and the on demand unit went blank. Overall it was a cute little place and we enjoyed our trip!"

National Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was an exceptional stay. The property is exceptional every detail is thoughtfully curated and exquisitely designed. The beautiful unique antique pieces are stunning and add to the old world charm. The staff were so kind and helpful. I will definitely be back. I could spend hours exploring all the nooks and crannies filled with art and history."

The Most Romantic Creekside Cabin - with Hot Tub and Privacy

10/10 Excellent

"First,…the VRBO presentation write up is completely accurate. Considering that we are outdoor-oriented, the location in the woods is even better than expected.Second, the write up did not include how well equipped the kitchen is…spices and cooking utensils, better knives than we have at home, and not to mention coffee and tea galore.Last, there is a problem…after four days we did not want to leave."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Cal-Ida?

The best area to stay in Cal-Ida is the central village area, particularly around Main Street, as it offers the most convenient access to amenities and the natural attractions of the surrounding Plumas National Forest.

This area serves as the primary hub for visitors, featuring a concentration of lodging options, dining establishments, and local shops. Main Street itself is a central thoroughfare, providing easy navigation through the village. Its proximity to the Feather River and various hiking trails makes it an ideal base for outdoor activities.

For families, staying in the village area is practical due to the easy access to dining and general stores, reducing travel time for necessities. Many accommodations here offer cabins or larger suites, providing space for everyone, and some are just a short walk from the river for easy access to fishing or gentle riverside strolls.

Couples seeking a blend of convenience and nature will find the village appealing.

When is the best time to go to Cal-Ida?

The best time to visit Cal-Ida is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and sunny, ideal for outdoor activities.

During this period, the days are long, and temperatures typically range from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit. This makes it great for enjoying the Feather River for fishing, kayaking, or rafting. The surrounding Plumas National Forest is also easily accessible for hiking and exploring the numerous trails. This season is particularly well-suited for families looking for an active outdoor vacation.

Shoulder seasons, late spring (May) and early fall (September to early October), also offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Temperatures are milder, usually in the 60s and 70s, making it comfortable for exploring without the peak summer heat.
