Tamarack Lodge

Really liked the location, the ease of just going out by foot to all these amazing walks and views. I found this hotel to be super cozy and homey, and I can’t wait to visit it during winter as well. Clean, convenient, close to the main town (you will be needing a car/bike). The staff were friendly, helpful and kind.

My cozy cottage, which served as my homebase for a week of dayhiking, was a slice of heaven. The tranquility, the views, the proximity to trails (for strolling in addition to trailheads themselves), and the lodge itself, with its lovely lakeview restaurant, offered all I could have wanted for a getaway in the Eastern Sierra. I appreciate that the cottages retain their historic charm and are not homogenized into Marriot-style mediocrity. Bonus: the staff were exceedingly friendly, sweet, and hospitable.

The staff are unbelievably attentive and helpful. The location is wonderful. The food and cocktails- while costly- are phenomenal. The cabins contain a kitchenette with EVERYTHING: soap, sponges, dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, odds and ends. The best part is the mini fridge comes empty, so I could fill it with my stuff and not worrying about overpriced fridge items getting moved around.

We visited for our anniversary and immediately felt welcomed by Manny at the front desk who made sure our room was ready so we could check in early. Complimentary hot cider while checking in was delightful, our room was perfect, and we enjoyed the cosy vibes of the lodge. In the evening, we wanted to make hot chocolate in our room and the staff at the front desk boiled water for us and provided whipped cream to top it off! What service! We'll definitely be back - perhaps in a cabin next time!

Wonderful location, away from everything but very near everything. The staff, everyone we encountered, were friendly and helpful. And those traction cleats, offered for free, lifesaver!
