My private balcony
Randy B.

This place was completely charming, but what put it over the top was the owners and general manager Lydia. During my stay, my truck broke down and wouldn't t start. Lydia made a phone call to the owners. They showed up five minutes later with a tool box and started searching YouTube for solutions. With their help, I was able to start my truck! They went way above and beyond their duties. Also, the room was spotless and I slept like a bear.

Downieville early morning outside of the hotel.

My husband and I stayed at the Riverside this past weekend. We had an excellent experience. We stayed at the Riverside during the summer and we're eagerly anticipating staying there again. The view from the balcony is gorgeous and DV never disappoints with the beautiful sites. Our room was cozy and was the perfect size. It was clean and included some little snacks. I can't say enough about the office staff. Lydia, was such a sweetheart and so helpful to us. I can't say enough about her hospitality. I'm looking forward to the next time we visit.

View from our patio!!

Only the second time I've stayed here, but I'll be back! Such a gorgeous spot, incredibly well maintained rooms, clean and smells good, nice staff, personalized touch, and did I mention the amazing patio views and walkability?! I'll be back!

A nice morning on the patio

We came with a large group of family and friends and were totally delighted with our stay! All the details were considered in this charming Inn. Cabin-like rooms were recently updated with mid century decor, gorgeous views from the balconies, perfect location right in the heart of town, easy river access, falling asleep to the sound of the river, gift bags with local cookies and a small but well equipped kitchen in the room, live music riverside on Saturday morning, support securing a spot large enough for us all to eat and meet together, supportive and generous staff, great recommendations on nearby river and lake spots... it really just doesn't get any better than this for a quaint and cozy family vacation. We're looking forward to a return visit for more hiking, river time, and exploring local ghost towns. Downieville itself is just darling. A perfect old mining town with lots of historical interest and charm. *some of the other reviews/ photos on here are pretty dated... new ownership has definitely update the place so it feels more hip and less "grandma"

This place was just perfect in every way. We received excellent service and loved the special accommodations for our pups!

Seconding dog friendly and CHEAP. And you get what you pay for. I've stayed here a few times with…read morefriends over the years if we are too lazy to camp in the nearby state parks. What do you get? Very basic motel room, with no air conditioning (fans are provided) and basic kitchen and bathroom amenities. It was great to have a full kitchen though, plus an outdoor BBQ - we brought a ton of food and drinks with us and we ate very, very well. Why bother? It's CHEAP and located in a beautiful stretch of road by the Yuba River. Just walk across the street to soak in the river to cool off or to try some fly fishing. About 15 minutes away by car is the cute little town of Downieville, a mecca for outdoor sports. This was a great alternative for a quick, CHEAP getaway - no crowds, no noise, just you and your two and four-legged friends out in nature. The owners/managers are a hoot - they'll gab til the cows come home, but are actually very nice and do as much as they can to make you feel comfy.

Dog friendly. Cheap. Easy walk to the Yuba River. In Loganville on leased Forest Service Land…read more Small rooms. Funky and classic way-side stop. The old Bank AmeriCard sign out front says just how long this place has been going since the last remodel- 1969? But that's what makes it so unique. Plenty of parking. Our host was a real 'clamper'- gold miner that is- knew the gold miner language and life style almost too well...talked our ear off. But he made sure we were all situated and gave us some tips on how to get to the swimmin hole by the river. Don't get any ideas about being a claim jumper though! the river is fully staked in these here parts. This is for those that like the highway 49 historic feeling and a way to know the real thing. Kokanee is a type of salmon species common to Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River. The person who named the place must have been trying to lure fisherman. Oh, and the Forest around Kokanee Kabins is big and beautiful and heavenly. Bring your favorite drinks and a camera and call Kokanee Kabins home for a weekend. If you're not into funky best to go up the road to Butte's Inn or High Country Inn.

Lots of hiking and biking trails close by as well. We just came back from our 5th family reunion at the hotel and have already booked our dates for the 6th. We are a family that loves to cook and we couldn't ask for a better kitchen set up. We have literally scoured every vacation rental site available and have never found a property like this one, where the entire hotel is yours for your stay. It's a special place and if you have a large group to accommodate, we highly recommend this one! It is about an hour from the nearest grocery store so you'll want to think through your meal plans/shopping lists ahead of time.

Great amenities: beautiful kitchen, large mess hall, a full on bar complete with darts and shuffle bar, and 30 rooms. A hot tub outside, horseshoes, ping pong, and a small grass field. Close by are various hiking trails, creeks, swimming holes, and the Grass Valley Reservoir. We had a blast! Highly recommended for a Family Reunion or company retreat.
