Creekside Lodge 14820 California 89, Markleeville, CA 96120

"Great little motel, we had an excellent stay. We were in room 10 and loved it. The decor is simple and cozy and well thought out. I especially appreciated the sizable bedside tables and good lighting. The bed was just the right amount of firm, and the sheets were soft but not uncomfortable on my microfiber-sensitive skin. The motel is right along a main road but the road is so quiet that I didn't even notice. The room was very clean. The proprietor clearly takes great pride in the place. We will definitely be back should we ever return to the area."

"Love the Creekside! The rooms are cozy and clean, it's only 30 minutes from Kirkwood and Markleeville has maintained a very down-home mountain town feel. Don't miss the cafe across the street which just re-opened and has great coffee and breakfast sandwiches."

"Lovely hotel in a quaint mountain town, close to hot springs and right next to three excellent restaurants. The owners were super sweet and communicative and the rooms were beautiful and spotless! Will definitely be back!"

"In and of itself, our room was pleasant and comfortable (though on the small side), updated with nice touches along lines of a boutique hotel. However, booking listed a "deluxe king suite" with hot tub and kitchen for $170. So I felt rooked ... but maybe that's the going rate for this area anyway, because it's a very small town without many lodging options nearby. Location is perfect, across from an upscale restaurant (reservations highly recommended) and next to a brew pub. Single-pump gas station is just up the way."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Creekside Lodge. The rooms were really nice. Recently renovated, very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great. A mini fridge in the room, which was an unexpected nice bonus. Todd the host was very welcoming and helpful, and Joanne the housekeeper was also wonderful, friendly and helpful. They made the stay very pleasant. Nice snacks available in the snack room. Quiet and peaceful when we were there. Lovely area, lots of outdoor things to do. Be aware that the two restaurants in town have limited days that they're open. Be sure to check out their days/hours ahead of time and plan accordingly. There is also a breakfast/lunch place that's not far away. I highly recommend this lodge."
