They charge $20 per vehicle per day (Jan 2018) to use the snow play area if you are not a hotel guest. The beds are soft (not great if you prefer hard beds). Overall, great for 1-2 nights stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay Really neat facility. Nice breakfast. Very nice staff. The only thing disappointing was that there was hardly any room to move in our room. There were 2 beds and a bunk bed, and only two of us in Chalet 12\. Would have preferred to stay in a different room that wasn’t as cramped. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather L Aug 29, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Casual and Comfortable Family-Run Lodge My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Tamarack Lodge for a night. It is a family-run lodge with a communal kitchen. We felt welcomed and enjoyed meeting the three goats and 4 cows on the property, as well as the other guests. The wi-fi does not extend to the rooms but works in the lounging area. ##### Heather L Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 2, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Nice hotel. Bed uncomfortable. Nice folksy hotel. Stayed in their Chalet in back. #10 . It was for handicapped. Bed was old spring mattress that was hard to sleep on. Otherwise very nice. Not too many choices in that area on Highway 4\. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eugene, San Diego May 26, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet wooden house in the forest (close to hwy 4) Very quiet, very cozy and classy at the same time (like at your grandma's century-old house), in the middle of the forest (though 20 m to the highway 4), hike trail into the forest right there. No old power outlet falling out of the wall, no smelly fridge, no rusty taps, no cheap plastic, no cheap... anything! It's obvious that a lot of love and hard work was put in the place. It was a bit cold in the morning - I couldn't figure out how to keep the AC working. Otherwise - absolutely fantastic! ##### Eugene ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 6, 2014 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Prima verblijf leuke eigenaren Het is wat je van een lodge kunt verwachten. Heel basic maar prima. Wij slapen in kamer 12\. Kamer niet al te groot, uitzicht op het bod en badkamer is prima. Het ontbijt is goed. Voor ieder war wils. vlak bij is een park met secoia bomen. Yosimeti park is nog een redelijk eind rijden. Zeker drie uur maar de weg er naar toe is prachtig. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### joe Jul 29, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Peaceful and very calm.

We were very pleased with Tamarack Lodge for this purpose. The room was fine, but more important was everything else. In the main lodge they have a shared living room and play room and a shared kitchen (which we used to cook our meals). You can play in the snow on their property and they have a little sledding hill and sleds and snowshoes for guests to use. The surrounding forests were breathtakingly beautiful. The innkeepers couldn't have been nicer. The drive took 4 hours and was easy, even though it was snowing as we were driving. We would definitely go back. ##### Erika ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darshan Nov 27, 2019 ##### Darshan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana Jun 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Diana Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oceanside-Hotels-The-Seabird-Resort.h63871770.Hotel-Information) > - [Ramada by Wyndham Anaheim Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Convention-Center.h8586.Hotel-Information) > - [STILE Downtown Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-STILE-Downtown-Los-Angeles-By-Kasa.h6948120.Hotel-Information) > - [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > - [Homewood Suites by Hilton Cathedral City Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cathedral-City-Palm-Springs.h15178280.Hotel-Information) > - [Montrose at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Montrose-West-Hollywood.h17594.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Ziggy on Sunset](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Ziggy-Los-Angeles.h11087.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hotel-Paseo.h19698333.Hotel-Information) > - [Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hollywood-Hotel-The-Hotel-Of-Hollywood.h12553.Hotel-Information) > - [Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Element-Anaheim-Resort-Convention-Center.h37620004.Hotel-Information) > - [The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Colony-Palms-Hotel-And-Bungalows.h1652438.Hotel-Information) > - [Argonaut Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Argonaut-Hotel-A-Noble-House-Hotel.h915510.Hotel-Information) > - [Stay Classy Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Stay-Classy.h54911318.Hotel-Information) > - [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > - [WorldMark Indio](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-WorldMark-Indio.h1784055.Hotel-Information) > - [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > - [The Anthem Los Angeles Stadium District, Tapestry by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Anthem-Los-Angeles-Stadium-District.h73661156.Hotel-Information) > - [Fleur Noire Hotel - 21 and Over](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fleur-Noire.h72510037.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > - [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > - [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > - [VEA Newport Beach, A Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Newport-Beach-Hotels-Newport-Beach-Marriott-Hotel-And-Spa.h19095.Hotel-Information) > - [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > - [Cameo Beverly Hills, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Cameo-Beverly-Hills.h14537.Hotel-Information)
