Timberline Lodge - Arnold - Bear Valley - Murphys

A really friendly staff and very comfortable room.

Amazing location, very nice accommodations. The staff was extremely helpful.

The hotel is pretty nice, the staff were great, and location is gorgeous. The air conditioner in my room SUCKED though. It was super loud when accelerating and decelerating the fan, and the fan is very obviously contacting something when it spins, so it’s extra loud. Then when the ac compressor kicks on, it sounded like a freakin rocket blasting off. All this would have been ok if the thermostat didn’t erratically trigger it to turn on and off ever few minutes, sometimes only running for a whopping 10-15 seconds before it would shut off. Sometimes it would do this cool trick where it would run long enough to get the loud fan up to speed, turn off, then right before the fan would stop spinning, it would turn back on. Unfortunately it was too warm in the room without the air conditioner running, so my sleep was either prevented by the volume of the AC acting like a tweaked or from the lack of AC and sweating to death. It was room 4 in case you want to avoid a similar scenario.

Great place. Quite and clean love the rocking chairs on the porch

We stayed here while attending a wedding at Calaveras’s big tree. Nice and close by, very clean and comfortable place to stay. We have to go back sometime.!
