River Ranch Lodge & Restaurant♡

Cozy and rustic

10.0

The location is good just 10 min away from alpine meadows. It is a beautiful view of the river from the room. The room was smaller than it looked in the picture and bathroom was outdated but all functional and rustic feeling to it. I have no complain for good price I paid. Grab and go breakfast was really good and highly appreciated it before hitting the slopes. We dined at the restaurant too. It was a good experience.

Having the Truckee River right outside of your room was wonderful. Really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and have breakfast.

The staff are very friendly and professional. The lodge is on the older side but well maintained. Little things like a drapery hanging off the rod were not really a problem. There are condos across the river that can look straight in to your room so having the window and door open for cool air is a problem. No AC in the warm summer so that is a must. I would stay again, great value for the area.

Enjoyed our stay, our balcony overlooked the Truckee River. A screen was needed for the bathroom window.

Rustic/Charming/Great staff

8.0

The staff was friendly, accommodating, and just lovely to engage with; from reception (Danielle/Alicia/Stephanie) to Kat at the restaurant and Asa as our server on my birthday. Everyone we crossed paths with during our two week stay was terrific. The Lodge has charm and our room had some minor updates (new fridge and Keurig machine) but if you come here, be sure and ask for a remodeled/updated room. Rustic charm is great and this place has it for sure! Unfortunately, the room we were given had not been repaired/updated/remodeled in many years and because of that the condition of the room and bathroom reflected some neglect. We mentioned our concerns at check out and in a follow up conversation were told the quick fixes were implemented right away…so that tells me the staff care and are very responsive! The food was sublime. Everything I ate was delicious. The prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area, so be prepared. The Truckee River is the big draw and if/when we come back to this area, we’ll want to enjoy this beautiful place again.

Beat ! Needs substantial upgrade.

Generally speaking, the place needs substantial upgrading, not just in the rooms (which look to be 1980's vintage) but in the entire property: cracked concrete, peeling paint, this could be an interesting place with some real investment. The restaurant was good with very good bar service
