Lakeview Terrace Resort

My Family (the Holdens) have been coming up to this resort for decades. This time, the whole family rented a bunch of cabins to celebrate my Mother’s 90^th birthday. We all had a fabulous time. The management really wants everyone to be happy, and succeeded. The view, the lake, the boats, and the cabins were all perfect. Lakeview Terrace Resort is the place to go for all ages. There is something for everyone here. We can hardly wait to go back. Thank you to the people who have done a great job to make sure everything was a memorable experience, as always!

We’ve been driving up to Lakeview Terrace Resort for the past two years from Santa Cruz. It’s a 5 or 6 hour drive. My son is now 5. He was 4 years old when he pulled in no less than 5 trout in the short period of his attention span.
Make no mistake. There are better cabins in California. The cabins here are kind of old but they’re roomy, warm and clean.
There is no better manager than Dee. His staff is great and he will do everything in his power to make your stay a memorable one. He has always treated our family as if we were part of his. We love the guy!!!
There is no better lake to catch trout year round. The lake water temperature stays super cold because of the bottom flow from Trinity. Any fisherman knows that sometimes you catch em and sometimes you don’t. Most times you can hook up here. The trout fishing is excellent.
It’s worth it for us to make the long drive and enjoy the sheer beauty of the lake. It’s absolutely lovely. Trees ring the lake and water is crystal clear!
Don’t tell anyone but if things are slow, Dee might give you a great deal on the boat for the day!!!
Enjoy!!!

Are you people being paid to review this place? What a dump it has become. Highly priced and what do you get? Dirty showers, dirty toilets, no toilet paper or soap in the bathroom, poorly maintained grounds. Don’t waste your money!

This place deserves some Unilocal love. I just signed up b/​c this is my way of thanking Dee for making our trip so incredible. Lakeview Terrace Resort has many cabins to accommodate couples and families. We went fishing in the lake across the street and Dee had a boat set up just waiting for us. He was so generous and ready to make sure you have a good time. You don’t find many places that operate like that.
Lewiston Lake is pretty awesome and a nice getaway and Lakeview Terrace Resort is where we would stay every time we get a chance to come up. And yes, you WILL catch some fish for dinner!

Great vacation spot in a beautiful setting. The best thing is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff: Dee, Roberta, Jonathan and Harry. They couldn’t do too much to make our stay pleasant. It’s an older resort but clean and comfortable. Lots for every age group including a beautiful pool, children’s playground, horseshoe pits, fishing, boats to rent, hiking trails and abundant wildlife. Interesting gold mining towns to explore and the Trinity River fish hatchery is close by. For a city dweller the beauty and quiet are refreshing. We had a wonderful family vacation and plan to return.

Where shall I start with Lakeview terrace resort… the beautiful sparkling water of Lewiston lake? Which is literally across the street from Lakeview terrace resort or the cozy fully stocked cabins? With all the comforts of home or maybe the amazing staff that takes care of its guests… Dee and Roberta (the caretakers) are so sweet and take care of your every need.
I’m in love with this resort. Every time I come here the first thing I want to do is fish fish fish! This lake literally has rainbow trout jumping out of the water all around you, last October I was here and was fishing at around 8 am, me and my bf caught 23 fish and kept 10 of them for ourselves (only 5 fish per person is allowed). The views are out of world and by that I mean the night sky. When the moon sets you can see the milky way and millions of stars in the sky. I could just sit outside and star gaze all night.
This resort is growing every year, the owner is trying his best to make this place unique and fun for everyone. He just recently put in three brand new cabins fully stocked and a whopping of a tree house. There are kayaks for rent that you can take out onto the lake and rafts for river rafting, you can even take out a paddle boat on the lake which I did and yes I fished off that paddle boat where the local bald eagle (bandit) stole my fish!!! Never have i ever seen a bald eagle so close up in the wild in my life. Lewiston lake is a fishing lake but if you want to go jet skiing or speed boating trinity lake is just a mere 10 miles away from the resort.
Lakeview doesn’t have cell phone service or WiFi and that really connects you to nature no pun intended. But do you really want to get away on vacation with your phone or laptop??? I’ve been coming up here since 2010 and just spent my 24^th birthday at Lakeview terrace, my bf and I went hiking, fishing, swimming in the pool (since the lake is very cold), and star gazing and had a blast. Oh and did I mention each cabin gets its very own coal grill and that you can have a bon fire by the pool… it’s awesome we grilled and connected with nature. Can’t wait for the next time I can get off and come back up here.
P. S. I posted a bunch of pictures on here because a picture is worth a thousand words. And if you read the bad reviews please take a look at the pictures I’ve taken and you’ll know that they clearly don’t know what their talking about.

Would I still go if I read all these negative reviews before I made the trip?
Hell yeah! I met the resort manager Dee at the Sportsman Expo in early January. He described the place to us in detail, and when we got there, the place was exactly how he described it — a true getaway.
Without cellphone signals, WIFI or TV, we were able to enjoy the nature without any interference. The lake surface was like a mirror, reflective from a distance yet literally see through when you get close. Big fat trout were jumping out of the water here and there. We parked the pontoon boat at the middle of the lake with engine turned off, and soaked in all the warm sunshines we wanted. It was the relaxation I had never experienced anywhere else, except when those Canadian goose flew by – damn they were loud. There are hiking trails all over the valley, with abandoned gold mines, caves and machinery from the goad rash era.
The nights were even more amazing. I don’t remember when was the last time I could see that many stars on the sky, the milky way was hanging right in front my face, truly breath taking!
Did I mention the black-​tail deers? They were like pets to Dee. He even named each one of them. If I had a couple more corns left from the bonfire from the night before, I could of lureed Margret into my van before leaving!
Will I go there again?
Hell yeah! I have this rendezvous with those deers.

It is a great little place with very friendly staff and peaceful scenery. The cabins were clean and furnished with clean utensils, sheets and towels. The trails on lake shore is what I like the most! Truly enjoyed it! There is no cell phone signal, no TV, and no wifi, which was totally fine with me (thought I couldn’t live without them for more than 24 hours.). It is a great place to visit if you want to escape from the city.
P. S. The place also provides free firewood. Can’t get much better than that!

The place is indeed a hidden gem and all of us had tons of fun.
The cabins seemed old but were cozy and clean. The place is quiet and perhaps because it was during the winter season? rarely even saw cars go by on the main road, which is exactly what i was looking for on a weekend get away.
Lots of wildlife around the property. deers will come over to you and feed off of your hands. There are A LOT of stocked rainbows in the lake, i know because they were jumping 10 ft in front of me. But for some reason none of them wanted my 3 year old power bait.
The property manager Dee is super awesome. We arrived late around mid night due to traffic on 680 and he waited up for us and showed us around the property first thing in the morning. Took good care of us the entire time we were there.
The place has no wifi or cell signal. you have to be on the lake (which is right across the street from the resort) to get cell signal. To me it is a plus-​i didn’t drive 4 hours to check emails.
Highly recommended. will totally go back again.

Best place ever!!! good employs and owner is very good !!!
beautiful resort with a beautiful lake and red cabins.
I think everyone should go to this resort its awesome.

We spent 3 day June 28−30^th This is not club med. It is out in the boonies. No cell phone service. Basically, everything worked. we paid about $ 30 a day per person. The place is clean but spartan. The band quit around 9:00 pm. You get what you pay for.

We spent 3 days on July 4^th weekend at the Lewiston Lake Resort with friends. The pool and staff were great. The staff folks were friendly, welcoming and available 24 hours a day. I really liked Dee and Craig of the staff they were quite helpful and willing to stop their errands and help us anytime. Great warmed swimming pool lots of friendly guests. Rafting 12 minutes away on the Trinity river. Lots of trout fishing in the lake just across the lakefront road. They have a decent selection of boats to rent. We enjoyed the live music Saturday night ;o)
They could improve the water system and add Wi-Fi…30 bucks a night for RVs.
I’ll be back for more fun.

I agree with the reviewer who claims his review was changed. Nothing on the web site bears any resemblance to this wreck of a resort. We entered into negotiations to manage this dump based on misrepresentations made by the owner and the information and pictures on the web site. We travelled a great distance to meet this unethical owner and found the place to be the dump others say it is. Now they are trying again to get an Asst Manager using the same misrepresentations. And the only curent review is done by someone with the same last name as the current managers. I don’t think that is a coincidence. Beware!
