This is a "rustic" hotel that probably dates back to the 1940's so it has a little wear here and there. Rooms are clean although small, only frustration is that this place caters more to tourists so no desks in room. They have a restaurant but no alcohol license so no beer with your dinner, which is sort of a bummer. Otherwise a nice enough place for a quick stay.
Pleasant staff, good location easy access off of the 80, lots of outdoor space, decent restaurant. Room had highly scented air fresheners. Would stay again.

Very quiet neighborhood with a beautiful backdrop of the mountain. It has a large back area where little kids can run around.
Rooms are clean and quiet, beds are comfy, shower is hot. The staff is super friendly. It isn’t the Riz but a solid, affordable option for a skiing weekend in Sugarbowl, about 20 min away.
We had a wonderful stay at the Sierra Woods Lodge. The place was clean, peaceful, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was perfect close to nature but still accessible. Highly recommend for families and couples looking for quiet getaway. Special mention to The Rustic Table Restaurant. They serve tasty food at reasonable price.

Cute and peaceful. Our room faced the meadow and low mountain beyond so we heard the chirping of frogs all evening. The owners are clearly catching up on deferred maintenance but our room was in perfect shape. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will come back!

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was nice and warm, so we had a very comfortable stay. The attached restaurant was also quite good and the food was delicious. The only downsides were that the smell of the cleaning products in the bathroom was quite strong and the ventilation fan was very loud, but overall we had a good experience.
"Mountain view" means able to see the mountains from the porch, not directly from the window unfortunately. Still a great view.
This place is great for the price. If youre the type that needs a bed and a shower and thats it, stay here. Its clean enough, nothing fancy. Comfy bed, tv with lots of channels. The restaurant is good too! Chipotle chicken sandwich is delicious, would eat there even if i wasnt already staying.
Super convenient spot, no freeway noise either. Not many rooms so few parking spots.
Be aware of local wildlife!
