This is a long one...
My husband and I stayed in the Lake View cabin at McGee Creek Lodge this past weekend. We stayed Thursday night to Sunday, check out Sunday morning. McGee Creek Lodge is right off of the highway across from Crowley Lake. It is between Crowley and Convict Lake and sister to Convict Lake Resort.
We found McGee Creek Lodge because my son went with some good friends to Convict Lake Resort where they are having their wedding in the summer and I asked him to pick up some trip brochures and he did and here we are.
Husband and I wanted to go fishing but had no clue as to where to go or where to stay. Maps of the area that we have seen make it look like everything is so far away from everything else and I wanted something close to a lake.
I figured McGee Creek Lodge with its separate little cabins with kitchens was perfect for my early breakfast eating husband and it had a jacuzzi...and it was.
The lodge sits across from the RV and camping sites AND it has a fishing pond with some BIG trout. It's pay to fish and you don't need a fishing license on site to fish. If we still had little kids, my kids are adults, this would be our go to adventure in the summertime. I imagine I would have sent my husband away to fish on a lake or river and I would have hung out at the pond with the kiddos and taken them hiking or horseback riding, because THATS A THING!!!!! Next time I'm doing that.
Anyway, we show up and the adorable rustic outside of the cabin is adorable. It has a small covered porch with a full sized propane BBQ and beyond that, with a gorgeous view of Crowley across the highway, is a ready and waiting jacuzzi big enough for four adults.
Lake View Cabin is a single story cabin which is why I chose it, I didn't want stairs or I would have booked the Ice House cabin, which has some cool history behind it.
The interior of the Lake View is spacious for a cabin...modern, light, airy and clean. We loved it.
We felt isolated and it was so quiet, the shoosh of the big trucks moving on the highway and the rushing creek that borders the property lulled more than anything and we felt safe.
The kitchen was nicely organized with keurig and drip coffee makers and full sized appliances with exception to the tiny dishwasher which was perfect.
The windows had beautiful honey comb blinds that were easy to maneuver. The bathroom was fully stocked, they even provided make up remover packets and two plump, plush embroidered bath robes and extra towels. Large mounted television with lots of streaming opportunities like Netflix and prime...just don't forget to sign out when you leave. The jacuzzi was hot and ready to use. We sat out in it our second evening there and watched the bats swooping and flying, catching insects.
Entry to the cabin was keyless, no one was there when we arrived, we didn't expect that though, according to the information I received and we picked up our paperwork and received the door code and instructions for stay and departure. At the end of our stay, we just wiped down the kitchen, put the trash out in the bear safe bin outside the cabin, washed the dishes we used in the dishwasher, put them away before leaving and closed the door. Everything was so easy. We loved it. Thank you McGee Creek Lodge. read more
