Happy vibes here with an outdoor garden area and lots of seating even lounge chairs. In front of each room is also a table and two chairs for dining al fresco. Pretty spot though you hear the traffic going by when outside. Inside the room it is faint. I liked that my room was one level (nobody upstairs). However, I had a neighbor in the next room who got up at 5am and was heavy footed and had a dog. The noise they made traveled into my room. They woke me up and kept me awake way before I planned to get up. Noise level depends on who ends up next to you. Luckily they were not there for my entire stay. The room was just right and I like the way it looked and the covenience of a kitchen with a full size fridge and stove top and microwave. I bring my own pans. I am glad because I didn't like the pans in the room. I appreciated that the fridge didn't make hardly any noise. Less than mini fridges in most hotels!! Bed was comfortable and management was reachable via text message and provided information via texts that was helpful. Beautiful trees on property and I liked that behind my room was left unmowed-good for nature and made it private. I also loved that the windows opened (four windows in the room (on both sides). I'd definitely stay at The Pines Inn again.

Upon first arrival we saw the place had festive Halloween decorations, which I love. Tony immediately came out and greeted us, then directed us to where to park. He then gave us a quick tour of our room, then gave us a tour of the rest of the outside areas. I love how personal Tony was and his genuine enthusiasm in showing his establishment. After we had settled in, we were able to inspect the cottage and it was ideal for two people. Everything was exceptionally clean. The kitchen had utensils, dinnerware, and cookware. The bathroom was also in good condition. The only inconvenience encountered was from my husband (as he is a tall individual) that the toilet area was slightly cramped. We were told that our rooms bed was just upgraded to a king size. Let me tell you, that bed was big and ridiculously comfortable. We both slept so good, we couldn't stop talking about how comfortable it was. As we left for dinner the ambiance of the place was truly enchanting. The beautiful lights created a magical environment, and the canopy with the projector added to the inviting atmosphere. He had kindly opened some wine for us, and we helped ourselves to it upon our return. Tony asked us before he left, what we would like for breakfast. I opted for toasted bagel w/ cream cheese & honey yogurt. My husband asked for avocado toast with fresh fruit. The next morning, he delivered our breakfast to our room. To say we were shocked at how good and fresh everything was, would be an understatement. We certainly plan to visit again in the future. Thank you, Tony, for your wonderful hospitality.

We had a great time at Sierra Sun Cloud Inn. The inn is located at the top of a hill near Colfax…read moreand has beautiful views of the mountains in all directions. The setting is idyllic and the B&B itself is a beautiful, sprawling house with 4 guest bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Two of the rooms have private, in room bathrooms. The other two room share a bathroom that can be accessed by either room. If one couple occupies one of the rooms then the other room is left empty so that the bathroom can be private. However, if 2 couples wanted to occupy the two rooms they could share the bathroom on request. The rooms are meticulously clean and well-appointed. Each room has it's own theme and all rooms have charming views. There is a great hot tub outdoors under the stars. It is always surprising how many stars you can see when you are not surrounded by light pollution! The proprietors, Alicia and Guy, are very friendly and welcoming and make your stay just that much more enjoyable. Alicia is a fabulous cook and the breakfast is so good you will be talking about it for weeks. Sierra Sun Cloud Inn is a great place to go on a honeymoon, anniversary, romantic retreat, or just for a fun night away!

The reservation process was easy, and she made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. We found a list of local restaurants on the dining table, which was very helpful. (Tip: If you're going downtown for dinner, don't drive -- it's a nice walk from the inn, plus it's hard to find parking downtown.) The inn is in a quiet area, and we slept quite well in Lola's room. In the morning, the breakfast Janet made was incredible! Egg and cheese croissant sandwiches with fresh basil, thick sliced bacon, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. One of the best meals I've ever had! The grounds are lovely. There is a pool and a hot tub, and plenty of places to sit and relax outdoors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much that I wish we could have stayed longer! We definitely will next time. :)

It felt like a small furnished apartment. There were thoughtful touches throughout. Everything we needed was provided. Our only issue was the fact that the bedrooms had no AC, meaning we had to keep our doors open to get air from the main living space. Not a big deal, even in a heatwave. We paid $200 for one night and it felt fair the apartment we were in. If you need modern updates like granite countertops or a lobby store with snacks, go somewhere else. If you appreciate all your basic needs being met humbly, I recommend this place to you.

A Hidden Gem Near Scenic Lakes with Outstanding Hospitality!!!!…read more During our recent trip to Northern California, we discovered the Brownsville Motel--a true hidden gem nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Its location is perfect for nature enthusiasts, with several beautiful lakes nearby, including lake Francis, Bullards Bar Reservoir and Collins Lake, offering ample opportunities for fishing, boating, and hiking. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel exceptionally welcome. The staff was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a homey atmosphere that made it easy to relax after a day of outdoor adventures. One of the highlights of our stay was the friendly and respectful fellow guests. There was a genuine sense of community, and we enjoyed pleasant conversations in the shared outdoor areas. The motel's peaceful setting, surrounded by towering pines, added to the overall tranquility of the experience. If you're seeking a serene retreat with easy access to multiple lakes, exceptional staff, clean accommodations, and a friendly atmosphere, the Brownsville Motel is the perfect choice. We look forward to returning on our next visit to the area. We also can't wait to try their next door neighbors 5 star dining experience at the Brownsville Station Cafe!

Cute place that was probably great in its heyday, but now, it Needs Some Work!!…read more Our stay at Sierra Woods Lodge was...okay, but definitely not somewhere I would recommend in its current condition. We had contacted them ahead of time about a late check-in, and when we arrived, they had already made our keys and left them under the mat for us, which was convenient. They were extremely nice and friendly! Our room was all the way at the bottom of a rickety little boardwalk and down some old, shaky stairs. Which is okay, but made me wonder how the rooms were as clearly there had been no maintenance done on the outside of this lodge... As we walked down, we noticed that pretty much everyone had their windows open, and we could see directly into their rooms with people lying on their beds. Once we got into our room, we understood why...it was around 100 degrees inside! There was no air conditioning, just two fans running at full speed with the window open, and it was still unbearably hot. We could barely tolerate it. The carpet throughout the room was extremely sticky, to the point that I wouldn't even take my shoes off. The shower in the morning also wasn't very clean and was generally pretty gross...wore my flip flops in... I think this place could actually be decent with a few improvements. Replacing the old, sticky carpet with hardwood or another easy-to-clean flooring, giving the rooms a thorough cleaning, and adding air conditioning or even a mini-split...would make a huge difference. Unfortunately, as it is now, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Pros: The motel is kitschy, rustic, and a decent value for the price especially compared to everything closer to the ski resorts. The junior suite was spacious and well equipped. Beds were comfy with a heavy comforter Heat was sufficient Back yard area has a fire pit (not for winter) and seating, lots of snow for the kiddos There's a restaurant attached but it's just ok - still, a major convenience if the weather is rough Cons: Parking lot and walkways were pretty covered with ice and not shoveled out well - I know they had a big storm the day before but it was hard to park and get small kids down to our room which was down a few flights of outdoor stairs One of the sinks had weird tasting water - the other did not, so I don't think this is just the local water Upstairs noise from footsteps or plumbing is very apparent - light sleepers beware.

The variety of décor available was impressive and allowed us to add so many beautiful personal touches to our wedding without the added cost and stress of sourcing everything ourselves. It played a huge role in bringing our vision to life. The property itself is absolutely stunning. The breathtaking scenery created the perfect setting for our ceremony and provided countless beautiful photo opportunities. Every part of the venue felt picturesque and helped create an unforgettable experience for both us and our guests.

There was no reason for these people to keep 5k with as much notice as they had The ultimate bait and switch. Our experience began with pulling up to our appointment time to about 15 other people in 3 different groups standing outside in the rain. We approached and they informed us that we could go take a look around the property, (unguided, uninformed, and in the rain). When we returned to the front about ten minutes later everyone was gone and there was a person outside that informed us that we could take our shoes off and go inside the guest house with the ~15 other people that were there. We walked around by ourselves for about 20 minutes until we were finally approached by someone. At that point it was time to go to the "something borrowed barn". By the name you would assume what this is. No. It is a warehouse painted red to match the rest of the property. When they let you in the door you are actually entering about a 200sqft room with the 15 other people touring the property at the same appt time and are all expected to share ONE (1) mock decoration table in which you may choose decorations they have in two cabinets in the room for your wedding day. Upon further questions the linens on the table and displayed in the room you may choose all other decor from are only available for rental. I wish this was the worst of it. The icing on the cake (and what they failed to disclose prior to committing to them) is that they do not allow liquor without a super special ultra premium gold star bartender with a super exclusive lisence
