The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we ate for every meal was delicious and the views of the lake and mountains were stunning.

Pepper Tree Inn
Won't stay here again. Advertised amenities are inaccurate. There is no pool. Front desk isn't that helpful for booking issues - they just direct you to Expedia.

Cedar Glen Lodge
Super cute cabin and lovely setting. Had some trouble with finding parking for a second vehicle — one staff person told me we had to go all the way to Kings Beach to park it, which was not very helpful. Aside from the parking issue it was a great place to stay.

Best Western Plus Boomtown Casino Hotel
Nice staff, clean rooms, well maintained facility, but long way to rooms from parking and too much smoke from the casino. It’s a great place for a dedicated gambler.
