I have a kayak trailer, with two kayaks, and a large ebike, the lodge worked to assure all was safe and secure. My old friend and I spent a day in Yosemite and a day at Bodie, but the highlights of our stay were the late afternoons spent around the picnic table by our trailer, very quiet and peaceful!!! I've routinely stayed here many years, but have never brought a trailer full of toys. I have to give this facility a "5" for assuring that my "toys" were well taken care of!! Thank You Lake View Lodge!!!!

Lovely, cozy lodge in a magic spot. Very good, helpful staff. Great restaurant on the grounds. The electric outlets are loose, need replacing. USB outlets would be helpful. Also, it was very difficult to turn on the shower water.

I missed having a shelf of some sort in the shower to place soap and shampoo, as well as missed a place to hang a wash cloth. As a woman I found the sink in bathroom high and far away, long reach as was toilet paper holder.

So disappointed. Our room was not only dirty(carpet was disgusting) but it was tiny with cheap old furniture. The worst part however, was the bed that made loud creaking noises every time you turned over in bed. Don’t waste your money. Drive the 10 minutes down 395 to the June Lake area with better rooms.

Black mold
There was black mold on the ceiling of the shower. Unfortunately it wasn’t visible until I noticed it when I got ready to take a shower next morning.

Nice staff, good room. Beautiful gardens. Food at the Cafe was good. Nice to be so close to the center of town. The vessel sinks were so high I had trouble using them. The laundry was difficult to find.

Both sinks were elevated to chest height and were almost impossible to use. The room fan unit was located at the back of the room rather than in the front (the side closest to the highway) so road noise all night long kept me awake.

For the price tag, I was expecting a better maintained motel/hotel. The ice machine broke when I was leaving in the morning. The vanities — wash basins and toilet — appear to be from the 60s that are installed very low.
