This is another situation in which I wish it were possible to give fractional ratings. For the…read moreLake View Lodge, I'd say that it's better than a 3-star hotel but perhaps not quite 4 stars. It's definitely a solid 3.5 stars in my book. We stayed here for two nights during this past Labor Day weekend. It was an impromptu trip for us, and our choices of lodging were limited. I settled on this one because of its proximity to the places that we intended to visit, namely Mono Lake and Bodie. First impressions were good; this was not a roadside motel but was set back from the street. The grounds out front are nicely landscaped with mature trees providing plenty of shade. There are several places to sit and gaze in the direction of the lake, which is somewhat visible from the hotel but still quite a ways off in the distance. We stayed in one of the hotel rooms. There are options for cabins and even RVs parked behind the lodge. By the time we booked, there were only hotel rooms and an RV available, but we probably wouldn't have opted for the cabins after reading that some of them do not have air conditioning and that wi-fi isn't available (a necessity for my kid's homework during our trip). Our hotel room was surprisingly spacious. There was a comfortable overstuffed chair to sit in, which was nice, but other than the desk chair there was no other place to sit. There's enough room to put in a few more chairs or even a dinette table, which would have been appreciated. The room was clean, and though it seemed a little dated in decor it didn't have a musty old atmosphere either. The bathroom amenities are very basic - just small bars of soap and a few bottles of conditioning shampoo. The towels were clean and fresh and reasonably soft. There were two sinks, one in the common area and one by in the bathroom separated from the shower and toilet by a door - a nice set up that allowed us to get cleaned up simultaneously. The shower water pressure was good but on occasion I got a brief cold blast of water before quickly warming up again. The beds were firmer than I prefer and I detected a slight sag on my side of the bed. Each queen bed only came with three thin pillows, which was pretty much the only real complaint I had with the room. The bedding was also basic, with one of those typical knit polyester blankets over the top sheet, but for the late summer weather it was adequate. The air conditioning (a wall unit at the front of the room) worked better than expected, and held up well during the warmer-than-usual temperatures during our stay. Only half the curtain was 100% light-blocking, but the other half was dark enough that the early morning sun - the rooms all face east - did not wake us up. There's a mini-fridge and a microwave for convenience, both of which worked well. The TV was quite small for the room size, but this wasn't really an issue for us. The front desk person was friendly and check-in was simple. There was no housekeeping service during our short stay, which was fine by us since we don't need fresh towels or sheets each day anyways. All together, this was a fine experience for us. Admittedly, I balked at the price (with taxes and fees, it came to about $225/night), but I think that's to be expected during a holiday weekend. If we ever find ourselves in this area again, we'd certainly consider making a return visit.

We stayed for three nights at this place. The rooms are great, but the old lady at the front desk…read morehas a pretty nasty attitude. The sign at the front desk says that if you stay three or more nights, you get room service. As I mentioned, we stayed three nights. When we went to the front desk to request clean towels and garbage service, she looked up our room number and informed us that we have to stay four nights in order to receive those services. It seems like she was intentionally choosing not to help us. We ended up taking out our own garbage, buying toilet paper at the store next-door and carrying our own linens back up to the room so that we had fresh supplies. On the morning of checkout, we left our room at 7 o'clock to go next-door for breakfast. When we returned at 8:15, our keys had been disabled and we were unable to enter into our room. Checkout time is 10 o'clock so I'm unsure why they chose to disable our keys so early in the morning. Again, we went downstairs and had to deal with the old lady up front. She did not seem interested in helping, but grudgingly gave us keys so that we could get back into our room until checkout time. It's unfortunate that such a beautiful property is being micromanaged by someone like the person at the front desk. Such potential being wasted on horrible employees. We will not be back.

The view was obscured by the mini-fridge and TV. All the other rooms had balconies with tables and chairs...ours was just a pathway to the other rooms. We had to ask for the microwave, which they brought, but grudgingly. No table to eat on, no closet, we microwaved and made coffee in the bathroom. Room very small, with no place to put anything. Totally overpriced compared to other motels in the area. I do not recommend, nor would I return.

There's actually a bus stop to go to Yosemite across the street if you want to avoid the trouble of finding parking, so that's convenient.

The place has such a cozy, nostalgic charm, you really feel like you're tucked away in a quiet mountain town, but still close to everything you need. The cottage was super clean and had everything we needed: a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and even a little fireplace that made the evenings feel extra special. The location couldn't be better, just a short walk to June Lake Marina, restaurants, a general store. We spent the day exploring the lakes and trails, and in the evening, we grilled outside with the kids. The whole vibe is very family-friendly and peaceful. It felt like a little mountain escape without having to "rough it." We'd definitely come back again, it's the kind of place you want to revisit every year. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, and charming place to stay in June Lake with kids!

We were staying up the road and walked down to check out the fish hatchery. After reading about the program we decided we needed to bring our kids to see it. After watching these massive trout swim around for awhile they read that they could feed the fish if they went inside and asked for Jimmy, and I've never seen them move so fast. The nice woman at the host stand hooked them up with food and told them Jimmy was throwing pizzas, but he'd come out to say hi. As it turns out, Jimmy is the owner of the property, the chef, and the hatchery manager too! His passion is infections and it's so obvious he loves this place so much. We enjoyed learning about the property, hatchery and fishery from him, and the kids felt like they'd made a friend for life. There's a restaurant here too and a little play area in the back of the restaurant, making this a great roadside stop. They also have fun accommodations including cabins, covered wagons, and others, all situated with a nice break from the highway. We came back with our younger son and he loved it as much as the older two kids! That visit we enjoyed the restaurant, which I'll review separately.
