Sierra Woods Lodge - Emigrant Gap, California

Traveling between Fresno and Reno, it was our first time staying at the lodge. Our experience was outstanding. Our room was clean, cozy and warm. It snowed about 6 inches over night. Had dinner and breakfast at the Rusty Table. The food was really good. Enjoyed so much on our drive home from Reno we stopped for lunch. Would recommend you stop and enjoy a good meal or make reservations and spend the night.

The bathroom was super dirty. The tub had hair in the drain and was clogged. I had to clean it myself before I could even take a shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The views were great from the bedroom window. If the cleanliness was better, I would have left a 5* review.

Checked in early. The room was ready an hour early. The front desk and staff were very friendly. The room was very clean and bed bug free. AnG checks every bed in every hotel.The view from our patio was awesome. The snow-covered landscape in our "backyard" was awesome to wake up to this morning. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was ginormous. It's 15 minutes by car to Soda Springs( review coming soon) ski resort. Great restaurant attached( review coming soon as well). All in all, G's work schedule makes it tough to disappear overnight, so we're so glad we chose to spend it at Sierra Woods Lodge. 128.00 a night is more than reasonable. There's no in room microwave or fridge, so that could be a deal breaker for some. But we enjoyed it too much to care We will be back next snow season. Thanks Sierra Woods

I stayed there two nights, while skiing at Sugar Bowl. I quickly noticed something different about the Sierra Woods Lodge - the staff were friendly and helpful and there seemed to be ongoing interest in maintenance. I checkout I asked if they had recently changed management. The place got a new owner about 12 years ago and is run by a non profit, helping men with addiction recovery. Well done. Also, inexpensive and close to Tahoe.

Stayed two nights here in late September because we were visiting the nearby Emerald Pools. The staff was very accommodating of our late arrival, and check-in was super smooth. Staff at the lodge and restaurant were very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.

We stayed in Room 10, which was at the end of a hallway and had a picnic table with a view of the forest right outside the window. It felt very private and was especially lovely at night when the string lights were illuminated. The room itself was a little outdated and small, and there wasn’t a refrigerator, but the walk-in shower was spacious. There wasn’t AC, but the room temp wasn’t too bad because it was autumn and the window could be opened. The walls seemed to be a bit thin because we could hear our neighbors pretty loudly sometimes.

We really appreciated the on-site convenience store which was really comprehensive and seemed to have everything from snacks to toiletries, first-aid, and clothing. The on-site restaurant The Rustic Table was also excellent! Sometimes hotel restaurants are just convenient and don’t have the best food, but we’d travel out of the way for a meal here, especially breakfast. We ate at the restaurant on Sunday morning, and everything was delicious and fueled us for the entire day exploring the Emerald Pools. We also called and ordered dinner the night prior, and they delivered the food right to our door!

We would definitely stay here again! The rooms aren’t the most luxurious, but you’re nestled in a beautiful forest, and the on-site store and restaurant are right at your doorstep.

Loved this place for an off the beaten path overnight spring '24. This is an old school lodge at a fair price with a restaurant on site. Nothing fancy and with minimal upgrades, it's friendly and funky yet clean and comfortable, just up the highway from expensive Truckee with it's dystopian chain hotels.

The room was smaller than anticipated. Beautiful walk in shower. Lots of stairs.

Quant little lodge tucked away in a lovely place, the rooms were very clean and the beds were so comfy! There's a cute little patio that is great for stargazing at night and sitting with a good book during the afternoon. The staff were super friendly and offered help to immediately fix any problems (not that there were any real problems). Not crowded, good price and worth what we paid for. Definitely stopping here again!
