I booked this property thinking it was close to national parks. I didn’t find out until too late to cancel. We left one day early to get closer to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The owners were very friendly and asked us to join them for pizza and wine. We met some of their friends. If we were hikers, this would be an ideal place to stay. We did travel north to see some of the beautiful mountains and lakes.

Motel with a nice view! But SO noisy...

We stayed in this motel for one night - The exterior is beautiful and it has a nice view of the mountains. We arrived around 7:45pm - The owners left an enveloppe on the office door to give us the instructions: easy check-in. They offer breakfast at 7am in the morning (even if the website says it's not included). The room is small but has everything you need. The bed is comfortable, bath towels are great, microwave is a plus. It's clean if you're not too picky - There's dust under the bed and the side tables. BUT it is way too noisy (we were in room 8) - You can hear the road as if all the windows were open (they were not), you can hear every word coming out of your neighbour's mouth (not just mumbling: e v e r y words - we even heard someone beating eggs in the morning) and the AC is so noisy it's impossible to sleep with it on (and it was too hot to sleep without so...). It was good for one night.

Super cute cottages. I’m in a suite with a living room, kitchen and separate bedroom and bath. Well kept, thoughtful selection of decor. Super comfy. Beautiful shared spaces and porch. Only difficulty is lack of restaurants and groceries.

A hidden gem in the desert!

I decided to stay at the Mount Williamson Basecamp on my way down to Palm Springs as I had a specific reason to be in Independence for the evening. I had no idea the charming little gem this spot is! If they have a room, make sure to stay there!

I was initially concerned when I saw the name “base camp” that this would be a very rough, hostel type accommodation and I would perhaps have to shower in a separate building or something! I couldn’t have been more surprised and delighted that my sp!

Right out the back of the property this is the view one is rewarded with!

I had forgotten what stunning scenery there is to be had in the southern Sierra Nevada range!

The cottage appeared fairly newly renovated and really had everything I needed for a very comfortable night!

This was a great place to stay. Ideal for people prior to heading on their mountain adventures. I was very pleasantly surprised. Nice, decorative property. Cabins are small but clean and well cared for. Nice quality towels, bed, etc. Also included is a sit down breakfast served to you. I highly recommend!
