What guests think

At Fawndale Lodge, travelers describe a rustic, cabin-style stop near Lake Shasta with generally clean, quiet rooms, easy contactless check-in, pretty grounds, a refreshing pool, ample parking for trailers, and convenient I-5 access at good value.

Guests often mention friendly communication and pet-friendly policies.

This place has hotel rooms and campground. We reserved a 2 Bedroom room. There’s a microwave and a small refrigerator. Did not watch TV or try the cable. Internet is good but not necessarily great. Pool is very nice. Decent space for parking. Room for my boat and tow vehicle. Highly likely to return.

Quaint and clean, motor lodge brings you back to what it was like to cross the country by car during the heyday of car travel. The buildings are well cared for, the vintage vibe has flourish in the chairs on the porch of each unit. Dog and kid friendly with big grassy areas, a really nice grilling pergola and some unique wildlife wandering the place. Do keep your dog on leash! We traveled on a 104 degree day and the small but sparkling pool was so welcome! Very clean pool area. The interior was a bit dated, but clean and lots of pillow choices. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great stay and were even welcomed by the welcome kitty. Rustic setting and a working air conditioner which we really needed in the 110 degree heat of the day! The pool was refreshing and clean. Nothing fancy but clean and had everything we needed 🙂

I was on a motorcycle trip and enjoyed the location (quiet), the room (clean), and parking. There was a carport right next to my room which allowed me to park and unpack quickly & safely. While the rooms could use an update, it is an older lodge and everything was clean! I also enjoyed the contactless check-in and my door code was sent to me prior to arrival.

Great little spot for a 2 day stay. Contactless check in was cool, however trying to get a hold of someone if you have an issue is impossible. They don’t answer the phone unless you call back to back. Our floor in the bathroom (right I front of the shower) felt squishy like it’s rotting from water. Shower is super small. The pool was refreshing for the 100 degree heat.

The room was very clean, small but practical, a good value. There is an amazingly efficient, quiet wall heater. Where it's lagging is poor wi-fi service which was weak and would drop out. Some freeway noise, but not enough to keep me awake. The window blinds do not totally black out the light, but it was good enough for me. The grounds were spacious and gave a country-like atmosphere. All considered, I would stay here again.

The place itself is rundown but for 1 night, it would have been fine had we not gotten a bathroom full of moldy areas. The flooring in the bathroom by the shower was super soft and mold was underneath from water damage. It was all on the wood molding around the shower and up to both walls. We stayed in room#3.. I would never stay there again until it has been remedied, mold spores are in the room. That makes it toxic to stay and should be addressed immediately.. i don't know about the other rooms, but I have a feeling, they'll be similar.

Arrived after dark and missed the entrance due to no lighted sign. Self check in, had to call a manager to get in my room. Room wasn’t “rustic” it was old and dirty. The blind on the window had broken slats. The caulking in the bathroom looked like a child did it. Heater was hard to control; either too hot or too cold. I would not recommend anyone stay here. Keep driving.

Very easy check in and out. Great communication. We really liked the separate kitchen, the living room and the bedroom setting. We also liked having a tv in the living room and the bedroom. Only one negative thing was that AC. There was a one wall AC unit in the living room. It worked great in the living room but the cool air didn’t reach to the bedroom very much. We even had the bedroom door open but the bedroom was still warm. But overall we had a good stay.

This hotel is nicely set up in the mountains with lots of big tall green trees around and a nice gardening from front. The check-in was a little different as you did it online something I’ve not done before and it uses a key code. Even though you do not see any people when you check in if you call the hotel, you can Required supplies quickly. Oh, so it’s not that
