The place is very cozy and has a cabin style, very in point with the scenery. The staff was very helpful and the room was clean and very spacious. Great place to stay if you are on your way to Yosemite. I didn't have the chance to try the breakfast place they have but it seems to be a good place to go.

Very very clear wooden cottage that we stayed in! Would definitely recommend for summer hikers who plan to spend most of the day outside (cottage does not have air conditioner, so gets a bit hot if you stay in for afternoons).

While it was a clean room and in a great location, the rooms need to be updated. Its was great for the price and the diner on-site is also a plus. Just some of the fixtures, lights, faucets, bedding, etc. need to be upgraded. Otherwise a great stay.

I think lake view lodge is the most significant lodge in Lee Vining with its history and the beautiful setting among other hotel/motels. Really loved the garden on site and Basin cafe, we stayed one night, and had dinner breakfast and lunch at Basin cafe the food is huge quantity with good quality. We will come back if visit Lee Vining again !

I was in a Basic Cottage, which means a bed, electricity and heat/AC. But it also means no noisy fridge! This cabin was sooo quiet! I loved it, even though I had to go across the driveway to get to the water facilities (sink, toilet, shower). This is a rather rustic, but very nice location. The staff were friendly and great.
