My recent stay at The Lodge At Nakoma was nice, though not without its flaws. The staff was exceptionally friendly and made me feel welcome, yet the noise from the nearby road was quite disruptive during the night. While the facilities, like the hot tub and pool, were enjoyable, the separate location of amenities made it a bit inconvenient.

Rooms

The room was spacious, but it felt designed for one person. I appreciated the comfortable bed but found the lack of furniture arrangements challenging, especially with limited space for my things.

Unfortunately, the lodge is very close to the main road, which meant I had a lot of noise during the night. The view wasn't what I expected, either – mainly parking lots or the golf course, depending on the room.
Dining

While the bistro offered a limited menu and decent food, I found the breakfast options lacking, especially during the week. I did enjoy some crisp salads, but dining wasn't a highlight.

The facilities like the pool and spa were great, though they were a bit of a trek up a hill from my room, which was inconvenient for casual access.

The location is stunning in the Sierras but being just 40 feet off the highway meant road noise was an issue during my stay.

My stay at The Lodge At Nakoma had its ups and downs. The beautiful mountain location was a highlight, providing stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the amenities in my room were lacking, with a noisy AC and minimal supplies, which made for a restless couple of nights. On the bright side, the dining experience was fantastic with great food and drink options.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Lodge At Nakoma. While the resort has a pleasant atmosphere and a comfortable bed, I faced significant issues with my reservation and the placement of the lodge near a busy highway. The golf course offered a challenging experience, but overall, I left feeling disappointed. 😕
