This is a great little motel that's priced right. We stayed a week. Linda is the best. She was very helpful and knows a wealth of information about the area. Hard working, rooms are spotless but finds leisure time. For us, Ray's Den was centrally located as we were visiting places both north and south of there. We will definitely... more

Typing review sat out on enjoying the view using free wi-fi. Stayed for one night as part of a roadtrip with my Dad (his 65th birthday). Chose based on strength of previous TripAdvisor reviews and pleased to say lived up to expectation. Linda v. friendly, room very clean and comfortable (although bed a little soft for me, my Dad slept... more

Linda does it right! Immaculate little property, everything works. The rooms are small of course, but fanatically clean and taken care of. An oasis in the desert! I especially appreciated the beautiful park kitty-corner out the back door and so did my faithful traveling dog. Room for frisbee and a creek! Linda is a great hostess and runs a shipshape... more

Linda, the proprietor, runs an exceptionally clean and lovely motel in this small town. She also provides a very nice continental breakfast. We would stay there again, gladly. more

Found this motel on google maps but no website. So I called from Amsterdam. First a very very hospitable lady called Linda answered. Resevation was dead easy; 'Just ask for Linda upon check-in'. Upon arrival we were friendly greeted and I'l never forget; 'Judging by the state of you two, a single king will suffice?' It more than did. Property... more

After reading about Ray's Den on Trip Advisor, we decided to stay while passing through. The rooms were clean and very good value for the money. The breakfast was great as well. We were in the front room and thought we may get some road traffic, but to be honest we were so tired, that we didn't notice if it... more

We travel to the Owens Valley quite frequently and this has been our third stay at Ray's Den this year. The rooms are spotless. The owner, Linda, is more than accomodating in every situation and so very friendly and helpful. The home-made muffins each morning are delightful. We will continue to stay at this motel for our many more trips... more
