The room wasn’t as described. For example, there was just a tub, not a tub over shower as described. There could be pathways between the parking and cottage entrance.

Cold! Heater didn't work.
Very Cold! The heater didn't work, though the staff tried. The restaurant was closed. The location and room is nice, but very small. Highway traffic didn't bother me. Had trouble getting my luggage up stones and grass.

Worst entry, best view
We arrived at night. It is very, very dark around the hotel. The party lights weren't much help finding where one enters. 395, while a beautiful highway, is the main route for the Eastern Sierra. Big semis hurl down it's two lanes. Once we were able to find the entrance, we had to phone the clerk/manager? This is an old establishment. Not easily accessible to anyone with mobility issues. The step to our concrete patio was badly tilted, slippery when icy. The floors are ceramic tile, hard and cold. Our room had beautiful old windows and the view of Mono lake is spectacular. The restaurant was closed so you'd need to drive a few miles into town to get something. Fortunately they provide a microwave (old and struggling) and a fridge

Convenient, lovely grounds, huge bathtub that would drain Mono Lake to fill. Really comfortable beds. A little traffic noise but chills out at night.

Advertised with WIFI in each room. All cabins have no access to WIFI, which is only available in the office area, Many guests sat around there in cold wind just to get connection, The kitchen was not open. The office has people in case you need any supplies.

You advertise free wifi in every room, but that is not true. There is no wifi and no television. The road noise is real. Definitely not worth $205 a night. Shocking, really.

LeeVining is a tiny bump in the road. The choices for lodging and meals are slim. Clean and well run but no tv??Pricy for what it is but as I said the choices are slim.

Perfect basic lodging for day trips in the Mono Basin and Eastern Sierra. Not long on amenities but the soaking tub in unit 4 was a life saver after a long day of hiking. Right on the lake and rte. 395 and convenient to Lee Vining and Tioga Pass Road.

Decent night's rest before a drive to Yosemite
Very convenient for driving to Yosemite from the East. Lovely views of Mono Lake, somewhat tempered by heavy road traffic. Room was good-sized with fridge, microwave, and coffee maker (plus Belvita snack). Decent A/C and reasonably comfy bed. Slat blinds on windows could have used curtains for more privacy. Very small bathroom with pedestal sink and no shelves for toiletries. No light above mirror and no shower wand. Biggest con was lack of hair dryer so I couldn't wash my hair in the morning.

We had a comfortable cabin for 2 nights. Bathroom with bath, heating all good. Some road noise, with or without the widows open, but it didnt keep us awake. Might be busier earlier in the season. Beautiful views over Mono Lake and well kept grounds with seating areas. Pricey, but so is everything in the vicinity of Yosemite. Lee Vining just up the road, a great little town with lots of food options including a very good value diner restaurant called Nicely's and one inside the Mobil station shop that also does amazing sandwiches. East entrance to Yosemite only open in summer but the Tioga Road has the best hikes and scenery, much nicer than Yosemite valley itself and way less crowded.

Very unique property and as the manager stated, beautiful sunrise coming up over the lake. Very helpful staff. Wife forgot her hairdryer and mgmt was kind enough to let us use one. I did reserve specifically the Mark Twain room, as I wanted the old tub after a long day of hiking, but I was given a different room. At that point, I was too tired to bother asking for a change and site showed it sold out already. No biggie, but interesting result. Overall, would stay there again.
