I decided to stay at the Mount Williamson Basecamp on my way down to Palm Springs as I had a specific reason to be in Independence for the evening. I had no idea the charming little gem this spot is! If they have a room, make sure to stay there!
Beautiful, clean, cozy, cottage with fantastic views!!! Loved it and would highly recommend…
Could use staff though in case we needed anything but the office was closed.
Other than that, it was wonderful!!
We loved our experience here! We were in town for the night before hiking Big Pine Lakes. Clean, cozy and great location for all the awe inspiring hiking nearby!
This was a great place to stay. Ideal for people prior to heading on their mountain adventures. I was very pleasantly surprised. Nice, decorative property. Cabins are small but clean and well cared for. Nice quality towels, bed, etc. Also included is a sit down breakfast served to you. I highly recommend!
We arrived at the motel around 3:30. A note on the office door instructed us to ring the bell. After about a minute the door opened and we were greeted. We walked into the office gave our name and Doug, the clerk, entered everything on the computer. He directed us to our room and then ld us to park in front of it. The room was cozy and there was some noise from the roadway.
We had a lovely time for our 1st time stay! We arrived late so we told the front desk and the made accommodation for us! Beds are a little stiff but over all the view and the quietness in the range is what your come for!! Would stay again!
