My husband and I decided to take a road trip this week during spring break. Cal Pines was our first stop, booked for 2 nights. We figured we had the time, so why not check out those inexpensive lots & see what it was all about. Check in was mostly OK, except the poor gal was having a hard time using the new chip reading card machines. We were disappointed to find that the bar & restaurant were closed during the days we were there (Mon-Tues). We were the only one's staying in the entire lodge, I have to admit that was a little weird to me being spring break. Once we got in to our room, I was pleasantly surprised. The ceilings are vaulted A-Frame style w/ knotty wood, and while somewhat dated, I've seen much worse. There was a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, flat screen TV & Wifi. Things that could use improvement- bedding is looking a bit worn, and the bathroom itself is pretty cramped quarters, our door didn't close easily, the shower door didn't close well either. I was worried the toilet was going to run over because the water ran so long. We decided to stay just for the one night because we found the land was not something we were interested in and to be honest, the town itself is pretty drab. Our choice to move on had nothing to do with the lodge itself. I imagine this place does a lot better in the summer when it's a little warmer out & families can enjoy the outdoor amenities. I have nothing negative to say about the staff, they were very nice, and our dog was welcomed with open arms.
