"Visit in November, chilly, no crowds. Perfect time and kplace to go. "

"My family of 4 stayed here for just part of our trip- I wish it had been all week! Wonderful setup for families with kids of all ages- we have an 11 and 5 year old. The indoor playground/ game room was so handy when the snow storm rolled in, and the kids had a blast swimming while it was snowing (magical!). A friend and I used the spa after a day of hiking when the storm cleared, also spectacular. The food in the restaurant was great- there was something for everyone. I was particularly impressed with the beet salad and the orange-battered cauliflower. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. I think my only suggestion would be to find a way to put a microwave on each floor. There is one in the laundry room on the ground floor, but families with small children could use a little more convenience for reheating leftovers. Oftentimes small children can't sit through a whole meal and one parent ends up eating something cold later. Not a big deal, just a thought. Everything else was so perfect, probably one of our most enjoyable trips in the Sierra. Our kids will remember it forever, I'm sure."

"We fell in love with this place! The patio river view was the best, but they also have huge jacuzzi tubs, multiple pools and an indoor pool, a game room, and a cute gift shop/grocery store. The only thing I feel they need to improve is the dinning experience. It was very expensive and the quality was lacking, and so was the service. Other than that it was a great stay with wonderful memories made!"

"Very easy to find off CA Hwy 140."

"The amenities on the property"

"Good"

"The people that checked us in and out were so kind and knowledgeable. I saw some other feedback about the blankets sliding off and we did find that to be true. The problem can be fixed by tucking the top sheet over the blankets into the bedframe. Happy exploring!"
