Reservation screwed, so that I needed to look for a place for that night despite late night. (I put special note telling my arrival would be late though.) The Expedia booking system should not indicate “available room” when the host office is closed.

This is a lovely lodge nestled in beautiful landscapes and they provided exactly what I was looking for - a quiet, rustic place to stay for a few nights while enjoying some time outdoors. There was a bit of confusion with what services were included with my stay since I booked through Expedia rather than directly through the lodge's website and that detracted from my experience a bit. I would recommend that Expedia and Clair Tappaan smooth out those bumps to improve future stays!

Wonderfol spot located in Soda Springs' CA. Large commons room, quite library, various accommodation options. Affordable. Excellent hiking or skiing right out the front door. Meals are freshly cooked and accommodate dietary needs. Meal plan is extra, ask for meal plan if its not offered. Remember to take your own bedding. Pillows are provided. Wonderful place to create memories.
