The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we ate for every meal was delicious and the views of the lake and mountains were stunning.

Pepper Tree Inn
Won't stay here again. Advertised amenities are inaccurate. There is no pool. Front desk isn't that helpful for booking issues - they just direct you to Expedia.

Cedar Glen Lodge
Super cute cabin and lovely setting. Had some trouble with finding parking for a second vehicle — one staff person told me we had to go all the way to Kings Beach to park it, which was not very helpful. Aside from the parking issue it was a great place to stay.

The chicken fried steak was no fresh. My room was cleaned only once. Too much smoke smell. Pool closed too soon.

Clean Room, spacious restroom, our room came with a cool patio, mini freezer was working good, TV was in condition, A/C was working good. The only thing that would’ve made our stay perfect would be the microwave oven inside the room..!! (there’s one in the lobby though). Overall- it’s a great place ...
