“Great place, great prices”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

The motel room furnishings are spare but all the essentials are there, it's clean, and the price is very right, particularly in the region. The restaurant food is simple, good, and plentiful. The scenery is lovely, comes with wildlife and you can see the Milky Way at night. Ignore the instructions from Lassen - it's a 'nother mile or two more than listed. Just keep staying left at major intersections and you'll get there - the signs, when you get there, are big and obvious. Enjoy.

“mixed review”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 13, 2012

The close location to the S.E. entrance to Lassen National Park was very nice They do take dogs at $10 a dog even for my 6 lb dogs. Felt was a bit expensive for what was provided. $180 for us and the dogs for 2 nights. NO T.V. Internet, telephone, only 2 electric outlets with none in the bathroom. Room was clean and bed comfortable. There is a cafe that offers breakfast and lunch dinner only on Friday and Sat. night. So had to drive about 20 miles RT for dinner. Staff was friendly. Overall "Resort" is a bit of a strech as there is not a swimming pool, spa, tennis etc. If we wanted a friidge, microwave and coffee maker it would be another $10.00 The meadows , and surrounding forest was very lovely. Highway noise loud at times with lots of trucks. We stayed in the Motel

Room Tip: Housekeeping Cabins in the back would be nice for big family groups.

“Great Price!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Nice accomodations for a great price. Older but clean rooms, helpful staff, and nice views of the surrounding meadows. Moments away from Lassen Nat'l Park and Lake Almanor. Would recommend to friends and will plan on staying there again.

“very retro!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2011

This should be taken as it is- an old style resort of motel, cabins and a quaint restaurant.The verandahs of the cabins overlook the surrounding meadows and peaks of nearby Lassan National Park. The owners are helpful and friendly and the rooms were clean- but it is not a new place, but well enough renovated and very reasonably priced.

“Great Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2011

We needed a place to sleep and stumbled on this little place across the street from a charming, scenic meadow just outside of Lassen NP in CA. It's not a luxury hotel. It's rustic, and it's a bit of a work in progress. We had a room (king) and it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Bruce was great about getting us checked in around 9pm and showing us around the place. He made sure the room was in good order. They have a little diner next to the motel...it's very informal, has wireless Internet access and some nice outdoor seating with games and a pleasant view of the meadow. The breakfast was absolutely delicious.

I'd stay there again in a minute...you are less than fifteen minutes outside Lassen, across the road from an active meadow, wake up with hot coffee five minutes outside your door and have the option of eating one of the best breakfasts served in the area, and it's cheap. What a treat!
