Ashlirae Dec 18, 2025 01:14:28 PM

Summary: Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very quick and easy drive to Palisades. Food at the restaurant was great!

Michael Dec 26, 2024 10:35:13 AM

Summary: The location is good just 10 min away from alpine meadows. It is a beautiful view of the river from the room. The room was smaller than it looked in the picture and bathroom was outdated but all functional and rustic feeling to it. I have no complain for good price I paid. Grab and go breakfast was really good and highly appreciated it before hitting the slopes. We dined at the restaurant too. It was a good experience.

Summary: Having the Truckee River right outside of your room was wonderful. Really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and have breakfast.

Kathy Jul 29, 2023 09:23:43 PM

Summary: The staff are very friendly and professional. The lodge is on the older side but well maintained. Little things like a drapery hanging off the rod were not really a problem. There are condos across the river that can look straight in to your room so having the window and door open for cool air is a problem. No AC in the warm summer so that is a must. I would stay again, great value for the area.

Linda Jul 19, 2023 02:30:07 AM

Summary: Enjoyed our stay, our balcony overlooked the Truckee River. A screen was needed for the bathroom window.

Peter Jul 9, 2023 10:56:09 PM

Summary: The staff was friendly, accommodating, and just lovely to engage with; from reception (Danielle/Alicia/Stephanie) to Kat at the restaurant and Asa as our server on my birthday. Everyone we crossed paths with during our two week stay was terrific. The Lodge has charm and our room had some minor updates (new fridge and Keurig machine) but if you come here, be sure and ask for a remodeled/updated room. Rustic charm is great and this place has it for sure! Unfortunately, the room we were given had not been repaired/updated/remodeled in many years and because of that the condition of the room and bathroom reflected some neglect. We mentioned our concerns at check out and in a follow up conversation were told the quick fixes were implemented right away…so that tells me the staff care and are very responsive! The food was sublime. Everything I ate was delicious. The prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area, so be prepared. The Truckee River is the big draw and if/when we come back to this area, we’ll want to enjoy this beautiful place again.

Christopher May 5, 2023 10:48:09 PM

Summary: I like this place. It is however like stepping back in time 50 years. Rooms are a little outdated, but the staff is kind and the kitchen is good.

Mark Apr 24, 2023 09:37:31 PM

Summary: Everyone was very friendly and the bar/restaurant staff were very nice.

Natalie Feb 14, 2023 03:27:16 AM

Summary: My room over looks the river it was just perfect what I needed to rest and not difficult to get to the ski lifts can take Tart or Mountaineer free transportation. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Jennifer Jan 9, 2023 11:45:51 AM

Summary: It was beautiful! The whole place was covered in snow. Or balcony was at least covered in a foot of snow and felt like a picture from a book! Everything was quiet and peaceful. Also had New Years Eve dinner at the Lodge and it was tasteful
