CREEKSIDE LODGE earns praise for exceptionally friendly, hands-on hospitality, especially from Todd, along with very clean, comfortable, recently updated rooms and a central, walkable Markleeville location near Grover Hot Springs, restaurants, fishing, and a convenient base for Kirkwood skiing.
Guests highlight easy, well communicated check-ins and thoughtful touches like a shared vending room with coffee and essentials, plus pet friendly policies. A few note small rooms, lack of air conditioning leading to warm summer nights, and limited dining hours in town where reservations can be necessary. Overall, expect a simple, cozy stay with standout service in a quiet Sierra town.

Todd was a very amicable receptionist/proprietor. He was quite a charming character! He told us about the restaurants in the area and a little about himself as well. The hotel is very basic, but it’s the only hotel in this small town. Which is fine for us—as we hate the traffic/ crowds/construction of South Lake Tahoe. It’s “glamping” without dealing with a tent!

Nice room. Comfortable bed and good heating which was appreciated on a cool evening. We didn't find the vending room with coffee, microwave etc when we arrived, only when the owner mentioned we could get a coffee the next morning. As it's out of season and early in the week everything in the town was closed so had to drive to a larger town to get dinner.

While the property was wonderful and we loved our double room attached by a well-stocked kitchenette, one we ventured off the property, nothing was open at 5pm except a little grocery store/tackle shop that closed at 6pm. None of the travel blogs and websites I visited before booking mentioned anything about everything closed up on a Tuesday despite it being the middle of summer. Had I known this information, I would have stayed in a different town, especially after traveling 7 1/2 hours (but then I wouldn’t have stayed in this cute little motel). I feel bad for this quaint little town that can’t keep its doors open except Thursday-Sunday.

My friend and I spent a lovely two nights at Creekside Lodge. We were welcomed by the kind, friendly manager, Todd, who did everything to assure our comfort. Though not luxurious, the rooms were clean and cozy, and we slept so well. It was a little disappointing that our windows looked directly out onto the wall of the restaurant next door, so we had no view at all - but we were there to sleep, not sightsee. The lodge could really use some benches and landscaping around it to be able to enjoy the creek rushing just below the property. There was really no place outside to sit. But we liked our stay there and will return.

Stayed here after going to grover hot springs. It's a small place, but it's very clean and well maintained. Everything was good. It's not a luxury hotel, but we enjoyed our stay. The person working there was very nice and friendly, and the location is perfect. Make restaurant reservations, there's only one place in town!

Very cute little room with decorative touches that were really nice, but not overwhelming. The manager was really sweet, laid back and helpful. The bed was really comfortable and the night time was blissfully quiet even though the Inn is on the main drag. There is a "vending" room that everyone gets a key for and the prepackaged strawberry Belgian waffles are really good.

The Creekside Lodge was a memorable pleasant stay. I have nothing but excellent things to say about this place. Todd was extremely accommodating to our late check in, and was amazing with our two poodles. We had room 12 it was very clean! One of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in for sure! The king bed was beyond comfortable. We kept our window opened and enjoyed the sounds of the birds and the creek behind the lodge. We were lucky to enjoy the Saturday farmers market and Todd was so generous and kind. We ventured to the restaurant across the street which was amazing! It was a beautiful dinner and a beautiful stay. Thanks again Todd we will be back!

Stayed in this hotel during a recent ski trip to Kirkwood. There is no onsite hotel reception. Received an email late afternoon on the day of checking-in with instructions to enter the room and the area doesn’t have cell connection. We found only one open restaurant (opposite the hotel) in the town which claimed to be fully booked at 6:30 PM and refused to give takeout as well. Had to drive 30 minutes to Minden for dinner. Room was small, but clean with no coffee maker. Overall, terrible experience, will avoid staying in this area in future.

Depends on over head fan and open windows. We did fine. Brew pub next door and nice breakfast place across the street. Markleeville is a small town and the gateway to Grover Hot Springs. Not to be missed.

Very accommodating. They notified me of the room number and placed keys in the room so I didn't have to bother with the check in procedure. This might not work is a big city, but for little Markleeville it's really convenient. The only thing I'd fix is the shower head. I like a gentler shower flow, but if that's all I have to complain about they deserve the 5 stars. The mattress is really comfortable and the decor is cute without being overdone.

Stayed here after going to grover hot springs. It's a small place, but it's very clean and well maintained. Everything was good. It's not a luxury hotel, but we enjoyed our stay. The person working there was very nice and friendly, and the location is perfect. Make restaurant reservations, there's only one place in town!

Our stay at the Creekside Lodge was great! We were helped by the innkeeper Todd who was one of the nicest persons we have ever met. He was so helpful and friendly and really helped to make us feel warm and welcome the entire time. Our unit was a suite and it was very clean on the inside. The Lodge was conveniently located near “everything” in this little town and was a few minute drive from Grover State Park. We would absolutely stay here again.

Stayed in this hotel during a recent ski trip to Kirkwood. There is no onsite hotel reception. Received an email late afternoon on the day of checking-in with instructions to enter the room and the area doesn’t have cell connection. We found only one open restaurant (opposite the hotel) in the town which claimed to be fully booked at 6:30 PM and refused to give takeout as well. Had to drive 30 minutes to Minden for dinner. Room was small, but clean with no coffee maker. Overall, terrible experience, will avoid staying in this area in future.

Stayed here for a night in Jan after Skiing in Kirkwood. This place is much closer compared to Minden or Pioneer. Lovely property. The rooms were super clean, towels etc were well stocked, bed is comfortable. This was my first time in this property or town. Owner called ahead of time to inform us of the room we were going to get and also helped make a reservation in the restaurant across the street. Will defn come here again.

Absolutely the best shower in the world, excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. Host, Todd was superbly helpful and friendly. Location next to a brewpub was perfect. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Nice room. Comfortable bed and good heating which was appreciated on a cool evening. We didn't find the vending room with coffee, microwave etc when we arrived, only when the owner mentioned we could get a coffee the next morning. As it's out of season and early in the week everything in the town was closed so had to drive to a larger town to get dinner.

It one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. It’s simple, yet there’s enough there to make us very comfortable. The hot hot springs are just up the road and the bar next door has good food.We try to go every couple of months. Great
