"We used the property as our home base while we hiked Mt. Whitney and it was exactly what we needed to make our trip a very memorable one. The kitchen was an awesome place to prepare a celebratory dinner after our hike. The swimming pool and hot tub were a great amenity considering our physical condition after the hike. The views from the property are truly amazing. I would highly recommend this property to any of my friends or family."

"We stayed at Reo's Ranch in Lone Pine for our Mt. Whitney hike (Aug 6–9) with a group of 8, and it was hands-down one of the best stays we've had. The house is spotless, spacious, and comfortable — plenty of room for our whole group without feeling cramped. The living room gave us a great space to relax and regroup after the hike, and kitchen utensils made cooking for the group a breeze. Beds had clean, fresh sheets and towels waiting for us, and the AC kept the place cool and comfortable even after long, hot days on the trail. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient — easy access to both Whitney Portal and Lone Pine town. The front yard is spacious enough to park several cars, which was a huge plus for a group our size. And of course, the views are unbelievable — you couldn't ask for a better backdrop before or after a big hike. On top of all that, the owners were wonderful — great communicators and genuinely caring hosts who made the whole stay easy and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone tackling Mt. Whitney or just visiting Lone Pine!"
