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!

Awesome place. Always friendly and great
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Amazing view with clean room and kind staff

We had a lovely time for our 1st time stay! We arrived late so we told the front desk and the made accommodation for us! Beds are a little stiff but over all the view and the quietness in the range is what your come for!! Would stay again!

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!

Hwy. 395 Trip

We arrived at the motel around 3:30. A note on the office door instructed us to ring the bell. After about a minute the door opened and we were greeted. We walked into the office gave our name and Doug, the clerk, entered everything on the computer. He directed us to our room and then ld us to park in front of it. The room was cozy and there was some noise from the roadway.
