Creekside Lodge

Creekside Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spic N span! The staff was so helpful, courteous and accommodating. Due to no air conditioning & opening the window, the ceiling fan was just not enough for cooling. I would recommend making the wall unit a duel combo making it AC & Heat. Besides excellent lodging accommodations, the recommendations for restaurants were excellent - the Stonefly offers the best fine dining. For drinks and simple meals, the Cutthroat Restaurant offers very good food items. We experienced a great get-away for two nights in Markleeville and I highly recommend it to all travelers of all ages."

"This was my second time at the hotel. It is a little bit of history. It is showing its wear and tear, but there are views of Lake Topaz from many rooms. The restaurant overlooks the lake too. There is a casino and a friendly bar. They give you a drink coupon for each guest. I plan to return anytime I am in that area."

"The owner/proprietor was very friendly. I liked the assortment of snacks and items in the lobby that were offered for free. If we had more time, we would have liked to have used the bbqs and picnic tables on the grounds. Loved the full-sized refrigerator—freezer in the room. And plenty of room to park our SUV with 20 ft Airstream trailer."
