Just completed a stay with a large group. Hospitality was outstanding -- b'fast and dinner excellent value.
We played golf at the adjacent Whitehawk course which is challenging and enjoyable -- others hiked, rode bikes and simply enjoyed the vistas.
Rooms are spotless and nicely decorated and all have a balcony to enjoy the views.
If you want a spot to enjoy this part of the mountains you cannot go wrong.
1 hr 15 min from Reno airport or about 2.5 from Sacramento

If you are looking for a fabulous mountain retreat look no further. The cabins (one and two bedroom) are wonderful with great views across a mountain meadow. The nearby Whitehawk golf course is a delight for golfers of all skill levels. Nearby hiking, mountain biking, or just relaxing are perfect ways to spend a day. The lodge is super dog friendly and well mannered dogs of all sizes are welcome. Don't miss this great stop.

My hub and I stayed a couple nights in the "thoroughbred" cabin to get away from it all. This is our 3rd stay at this lodge, so we must like. Previously stays were in the "mustang” cabin….liked the décor a bit better in that cabin, but the view from the "thoroughbred” being situated up higher we preferred. The cabins are very clean, never felt l like I needed to sanitize, quaint 1776 décor in the "thoroughbred , has mini frig, good sized tub, nice crisp bedding, just enough pine, long wooden sittin porch, and restaurant and bar at lodge a walk able distance. We are into the pine, not too rustic lodge, feels secluded, cabins for our lodging, so this fits us. If you want to decompress from the city, to hear the owls who whoing, and soak up the tall trees and starry skies then stay here. Spend the day at Gold Lake then in the evening sit back on the cabin’s porch with a tall bev and chill out. P.S. and we don’t even golf.

The Lodge at Whitehawk was an amazing little piece of serenity from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The cabins were huge compared to other cabins in the area and they were well spaced out so we weren't sitting right on top of our neighbors. Although we were in the middle of nowhere I had perfect cell phone reception with AT&T which is not true for most of the Blairsden/Clio/Graeagle area.

We were here to attend a wedding. They reserved all the cabins for the guests of the special event making it feel extra homey. The boys went golfing on Whitehawk's amazing course the first day and loved it! Nearby we were able to go fishing, hiking, and swimming. Each morning we had a delicious breakfast prepared for us that was included with the room.

The ceremony and reception were held outdoors with the mounains as the backdrop. They had a full staff on duty, a fully stocked bar, and opened the lodge to serve as our dance floor.

If you are planning a family reunion or wedding and would like a beautiful mountain setting this is the only place I would consider! If I am ever staying in this area again I will definitely be staying here :)
