The Sierra Inn is a great place if you’re going hiking or fishing in the area. Note: There is limited dining in this area, so you might want to bring your own.

Very nice

Great place. We’ve stayed here a few times. Every time we stay they’ve added and improved the grounds. Nice BBQ area. Shaded small pool off the main river, perfect for children. The river runs adjacent to the motel. Can’t wait to come back. There’s a coffee shop next door with delicious pastries and coffee

They charge $40 pet fee!!! And their rooms have very austere floors. Not very hard to clean up if there was an accident. Also the facility is 17 miles from the nearest place to get anything to eat.
