10/10 Exceptional

Lovely & friendly spot in American River
The views from the rooms are just stunning, especially the morning when the birds are signing and in the evenings when the sun is setting. Steve and Kim are as friendly as can be, and really made our stay wonderful. The rooms have a small fridge, so it's easy to store snacks & such if you don't want to eat at the restaurant. Just check in with them ahead of time about the dinner service hours so you aren't caught off guard. American River has a small store and petrol, so it's a good spot for basing your island explorations.
