Hotels near Sierra National Forest

" June 2025 This was our second time staying here, and we still loved our stay as much as the first- maybe even more. We stayed at the lodge and enjoyed the coffee shop, smores, pool and even the game room. The onsite restaurant was quite good for dinner. Our king room was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. My only negative is the food/ drinks( non alcoholic) were quite pricey. The Pizza place that is onsite but not directly at the lodge was very expensive and our rigatoni literally came out in a microwaveable type plastic tin. I mean at least take the extra step and put it on a plate and add a splash of parmigiana cheese to make it look like some effort was made. However this was my only true negative and I would absolutely stay here again. Little FYI, although you are only 2 miles from the entrance, it is still another hour to the valley floor. Do not try to enter the park after 9:30-10 or the line backs up even past the lodge and it will take 2 hours to enter. "

"This was my second time staying here. The breakfast is amazing for a free breakfast. The property grounds are beautiful, you barely feel like your at a hotel. Room is very spacious. "

"More than expected big king room very clean and friendly staff. The only thing maybe an improvement in breakfast cause had limited options to eat but everything else was excellent."

"Location of chalet, amenities, and shopping all located very close. This resort has everything you need, and the lake is within walking distance. Definitely coming back!"

"Could not get a hold of anyone most of the time."

"The place was so preety and quiet place. Clean rooms and walking distance to lake. The only thing that i complained about is there is no phone signal, i can't used my phone and no internet. My family was so worried about us coz i forgot to tell them that we're on vacation, and they can't reach us for last 2 days. But everything was excellent and nice experiences. "
