Reverse Creek Lodge

Our stay was fantastic! The cabin is quaint, very clean, well stocked and cozy. The location is perfect, enough off the beaten path but super close to June Lake’s town. They really have everything you need, full kitchen and dining utensils, warm gas fireplace, full bath, and patio with a grill. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Loved staying here (it was snowing!). Cabin we stayed in was roomy, cozy… felt like home! Patio view was amazing. There’s a running creek nearby which is a plus when exploring around. Close to shops and restaurants and about a good 25min drive to Mammoth. With the great customer service we received, we will most definitely come back!

Being my first time staying at this place, owner David, made my family and l feel very welcome. It had a great feel to it. It was very roomy, clean, comfortable, and the distance very convenient… Close enough to local restaurants and shops, far enough to feel secluded. We truly enjoyed our stay there and definitely coming back.

I recently stayed here with my family and have to say I will be returning next year. We had a total of 3 cabins rented and really enjoyed our time here. The Cabins are rustic, if your looking for a fancy cabin your in the wrong place. However they have everything you need and are well kept. Family/​staff were very helpful and nice. Beware of the bear that likes to visit at night.

Blessings to the reader of this post. June Lake is beautiful. My family can’t believe the solitude and space provided inside this château (a-​frame cabin) with private patio. Check-​in was smooth and simple and we were given château ¹³⁄₁₄. The patio has a BBQ and the table and chairs are a nice touch. Our two sons beamed at the 5G speed WIFI and the two bed per room situation. There are a total of 2 ½ bedrooms and two bathrooms. One room has two queen sized beds and the other room has two twins. The half room would be the nice queen size bed in the shared kitchen space. As the dad and mom here, we chose the kitchen space room. You will also find that the bathrooms are well supplied with white towels, soap, and facial/​tissue paper. It would be helpful to bring your own paper towels, vinegar, and sponge. (Vinegar just to sanitize coffee pot and other kitchen items just as precaution). The living space is very clean and a welcome to worn-​down travelers.
Last evening, I went to get my purse out of my car and a very friendly raccoon (we named Ralph) walked right behind me. He seemed like he knows that there is food near. After some conversation with Ralph he gave up on handouts. Very fun guy that one. But please be kind to the wild life and let it be wild and unharmed-​unless you’re here for fishing ;-).
All in all, we were happy and awed by the views from the patio, family friendly atmosphere, the amenities, and Ralph. This is an amazing find. (The added pictures were taken from our actual stay-​they are not taken from Internet-it’s just that darn pretty here). Again, Blessings the the reader of this post. Amen.

I’m sitting in cabin 19 right now and it’s a shame that we are leaving in the morning. My dad and I have come to the Sierras every May and October for over 20 years. We have stayed at many places up here and I’m sorry that we have only recently given Reverse Creek Lodge a try. We stayed here May 2014 and now 2015. We would have booked last October, but my wife and I had our first baby (Olive Maria Faustina)!
These cabins are very clean, comfortable, and are welcoming after a day of fishing. The scenery is beautiful and the cabins aren’t crammed too closely together. The fish cleaning facility is great.
The family that owns and runs this place are very friendly and accommodating. They are top notch and this place wouldn’t be what it is under any other management.
Tomorrow, it is goodbye for us, but we’ll be back.

Booked this place due to great Unilocal reviews & rates.
Very small town in the community of June Lake, about 30 min north of Mammoth and about 15 minutes south of Hwy 120 Tioga pass. Things we planned to do: relax & hike. This place was perfect for that.
We stayed in a 1 bedroom cabin. The cabin was very small and cozy. Perfect for 2 people. The cabins & grounds are well kept, very clean. They have wifi, gas heat and a kitchen well stocked with essentials (coffee maker w/​filters, toaster, stove, fridge, pots, pans, plates, cups). Only condiments provided are salt & pepper. No paper towels. The deck has a gas BBQ. The bathroom has plenty of towels (they provide only a bar of soap), the bedroom has plenty of warm blankets and a comfortable king size bed.
Perfect location for skiing June Mountain & fishing.

The owner of this place is a real piece of work. Don’t let the whole «I am a good Mormon family man» attitude fool you (like it shows on his website, right when you log on). This guy is a phony! Had to change our reservation from 3 nights to two, due to work conflicts. Called up two weeks before original check in date and asked if we could revise. While I am explaining our situation all I hear him say is «unbelievable…unbelievable». Like I was doing this to him on purpose or something??? Sooooo Weird! Then he tells me, «Well didn’t you read your reservation? You need to give me a 30 day notice or else I charge you for the entire stay. You have two options, you either pay for 3 nights and only stay two or cancel the whole thing… which leaves a bad taste in my mouth.» I said I’m sorry sir, but we’re not gonna pay you for a day when we can’t even use it, this is something that is totally unexpected and if I would have known sooner, I definitely would have called you. He says.“how do you expect me to make any money, this isn’t some Hotel”. By the end of our convo, he basically said he would cancel our reservation but told me not to play these games and read my reservation next time. Believe me Sir I will gladly take our reservation else where next time. Thanks for canceling the reservation but why don’t you work on your customer service skills. So unprofessional, I hung up the phone with my heart rate racing because he got me so worked up.
Be careful when you book here. FYI the reservation does say they require 30 day but no where on it does it say he will charge you for the entire stay!
**By the way…30 day notice! Come on, that is just not realistic!

Cozy, rustic cabins reasonably priced. They are always improving these wonderful cabins. For example while we were here they put log cabin siding and new framing on the windows. They would not dream of working on a cabin while guests are in the cabin. As everyone has said, you will not meet a nicer family!!! They are happy to tell you all about the area and make recommendations, plus there is an extensive notebook detailing trails, restaurant menus flora and animals and lots more. It was under the coffee table in our cabin. We stayed in a larger cabin which was ¹⁷⁄₁₈. It has two small bathrooms, but does have 2 tubs with a heater on the fan. They provide towels and sheets. To also keep you warm is a gas fire place. There is also a gas grill on one of two decks. This cabin is the most secluded. The cabins share a common parking lot. Full kitchen, plenty of gadgets and plates, cups and so forth. The beds were comfy to us. There were 2 tv sets and wi fi. Nice fish cleaning station. Look forward to coming back!!! The area is post card beautiful! Love all the jewel blue lakes and granite mountains. Lots of out door activities, such as numerous well maintained hiking trails.

Great place! It was comfortable, cozy, and everything we needed. The family is just so unique and friendly. There wasn’t a huge amount of suggestions from them on fun things to do or places to eat, but I guess the area is pretty small and limited in activities, but just figured locals would know best. I absolutely would stay again. THought the little cabin was great!

Very lucky day for my friend and I. Very wonderfully friendly man running the establishment. Staying here for 1 night changed the course in the best way possible for us on a recon trip for a later and larger fishing trip, and we plan on staying here. The place is conveniently located, rustic, and fully furnished. The family who owns this place is pure class and takes pride in their brand. Wish they were pet friendly, but I’m not going to take away from the quality of what you get for your money in the chateaus here. Go make this your way-​point for the most epic trout fishing trip you’ll ever experience in California!
Do it!!!

We have been staying at Reverse Creek Lodge for the past 35 years. This family-​run business is accommodating, friendly, and reasonably priced. The cabins and A-​frames are well-​maintained and the family works very hard, year-​round, to ensure that everything is in top working order. David and Denise are constantly busy and have very high standards for this wonderfully warm and cozy place. Whether its a family reunion, a high sierra vacation, or just the two of you, there are accommodations that are just right.

Dave is awesome! He is one of the greatest guys on earth. The cabins are great plenty of room, and wifi is fast. The location is right in the middle if the loop.

Dave is one of the kindest men we have ever met. He was extremely helpful. His properties are well maintained. The grounds are clean and beautiful. Ten beautifully kept A-​frame cabins.
We are planning to book a reservation this summer.

This was our 2^nd stay at this cute, rustic Lodge in the June Lake Loop. Be aware, this is in the MOUNTAINS away from the BIG CITY and crowds. If you are looking for a Beverly Hills Hotel or Waldorf Astoria please don’t come here and give it a bad review. If that is what you want, don’t come to June Lake, please go down the road to the Beverly Hills Hotel or Beverly Hilton. This is a small, very well kept, family run lodge in a rural community for those who want to get away from the «big city.» The cabins were clean and well kept. There is now wi-​fi and extensive cable TV. The owners are very friendly and readily available for any issues and very helpful /​informative. Like a visit to June Lake, it is like going back to a simpler era. We LOVE it and will be back on our next fishing trip. Thanks to the Naaden Family.

I’ve been bringing my family to the Eastern Sierras trout fishing for the last few years and I wouldn’t consider staying any other place than the Reverse Creek Lodge. We stay in the A-​frame Chalets. They are perfect for the four of us. The Chalets are very secluded and private. We love the majestic view of Carson Peak and the beautiful sound of Rush creek flowing behind the Chalets. The front and rear porches are very peaceful and relaxing while soaking up the beauty that nature has to offer. The Naaden family are wonderful hosts and they maintain a well kept and clean accomodations. Mr. Naaden (David) is especially enjoyable to speak to. I was introduced to the Reverse Creek Lodge 8 years ago from my brother who has been coming to this location for over 20 years. I really appreciate that he showed me this Lodge since it has everything I enjoy and would expect from a well run facility. So if you are looking for a very clean, peaceful, scenic, affordable cabin then look no further. I also recommend booking your cabin by going directly to the reverse creek lodge web site. You will see what’s available and photos of all the cabins and floor plans. It’s a «one stop shop» web site. Thank You!

We have been returning to Reverse Creek for over 30 years. They have everything you need. Each cabin has a little patio to relax and bar b que under the pines. The cabins are very clean and in a peaceful setting. David and his family are always friendly and helpful. He is always upgrading the cabins and makes them very warm and cozy. The location is good too. Short drive to all the lakes in the loop.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin had everything we needed for us and our 2 little ones and David was very warm and accommodating. He helped us with directions to sledding places and even loaned us their sleds! The kitchen we very well stocked, but maybe I’ll bring my own knives; they could use a sharpening – but hey, it supposed to be rustic, right? The location was just perfect, the creek nearby, general store, hiking trails. Definitely the place we’d return to if staying in June Lake.

3 ½. I like this place. The cabins are rustic and small, maybe just a little cramped depending on your level of comfort. We stayed in one of the single cabins.
We weren’t sure before we left how stocked the cabins would be; they say on the website, cabins come with a full kitchen and bath, no heat, but a gas fireplace. We packed light and in couple ways we were up a «reverse» creek (Har Har, I know). So I am writing this to help the next person know what to bring.
Kitchen is well-​stocked. Unlike some cabins, though, there are no condiments or spices, only salt and pepper. So bring sugar for coffee (There is a coffee machine with filters). Everything for basic dinner is included: measuring cups, knives, toaster, and tea kettle. There’s also a small grill on the porch.
Bathroom — only bar soap. No shampoo, etc. It was stocked with towels and had a good bathtub.
Because the place is small, the gas fireplace provides plenty of heat; however, there was only one big electric blanket. I’m not a fan of wires in my blanket. I would suggest bringing a blanket if you want to wrap up with the cocoa.
The staff was very kind and helpful. And the price was pretty typical ($ 100 night in fall 09). I would suggest this as a nice place for a small getaway for a couple or family (in the bigger cabins), but not a place for a special trip like a honeymoon or romantic vacation.
The grounds were a little unkempt, but that’s no big deal up in the mountain. The scenery around is quiet and peaceful. June Lake is a wonderful place to retreat to, the lakes and mountains, great people and skiing in the winter, make it one of my favorite all time places.
