Timberline Lodge - Arnold - Bear Valley

10/10 Excellent
"This property exceeded my expectations. Very cute and cabin feeling and it had a lot tables outside to sit and enjoy the mountain air. They listed a fire pit and it was very cute but it didn’t look like it was set up to work atm probably for safety purposes. Beds and pillows were comfy and air conditioning worked great. We were on the back side and didn’t hear any traffic or any noise from other rooms and when we got up a lot of people had already left but we didn’t hear anything. There’s an Ace, a chevron and a fire station right across the street and I felt safe at this location. I would definitely stay here again"

Mi Wuk Village Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and comfortable overall. The room was well-equipped with a fridge, microwave and dining table, which was very convenient. The staff were also friendly and helpful. The front desk staff did their best to remind guests not to park directly outside the rooms, although some still did. Perhaps having a few cones or clearer signs might help. I could hear some guests chatting outside the room in the early hours of the morning, which was a little disruptive. Otherwise, a pleasant stay overall!"
