“Great Place To Rough It”

Virginia Creek Settlement

4 of 5 stars
Los Angeles, CA
Jul 8, 2008

As two families traveling with an assortment of kids, we were looking for something as close to camping prices as possible without the need to sleep on the ground. Virginia Creek Settlement was perfect. Although they offer some motel-type rooms and furnished mobile homes to make your stay more comfortable, a couple of bare-bones cabins better fit our budget. The cabins are whimsically arranged like a little settlement next to a creek (hence the name) with plenty of surrounding space.

Other than the fact that we were in wooden structures with beds, it was just like camping: no electricity (other than a light that only came on at night), barbecued dinners in our "yards," a shared bathroom and shower in an outbuilding. The kids loved the camping feel and we appreciated sleeping in real beds.

We weren't quite prepared for was how cold it got at night. In the middle of August we weren't expecting the temps to drop into the high 30s! With no heat and only wood slat walls there was no keeping any warmth in the cabins. Again, just like camping!

Before we headed out we had breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which was fabulous. The enormous pancakes were the best, so make sure you bring your appetite for one. Yes, just one! Did I mention they're enormous?

We had a great time at Virginia Creek Settlement and recommend a stay, especially for visitors to Bodie or Mono Lake.

“Great little hotel and restaurant.”

We just love coming here.
Jimmy and Brinn are great people. They have a little gem of a business going on there. The food is excellent and the rooms are cozy and the beds are very comfortable.
The only problem with this establishment is that it's not open year round due to the large amount of snow they get every year.
I highly recommend that if your on 395 and your hungry, stop in. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

“Fantastic for all ages”

Virginia Creek Settlement

May 12, 2008

My 5 year old and I met my mother and her husband for Mothers Day Weekend. We all had a great time. We both drove right up to the Settlement. It is well marked and visable from the street. Our cabin was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed and more. The towels were very, very soft and the beds were very comfortable. The cabin was right on the stream, what fun for my son to play all day. The owners and staff were always wonderful and gracous. We cannot wait to return.

“Clean & Friendly”

We happened upon this charming "settlement". We stayed in our camper in the campground but ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Excellent food; nearly gourmet. Owners were very friendly and hospitable. The only disappointment was the coin operated showers.

“Great experience!”

OK here's a great place. We were on the road from SF to Death Valley via Yosemite and we decide to book outside the park. We were not disappointed.
1- The staff is very friendly.
2- Restaurant is good, cheap and copious, with a good atmosphere (internationnal, hikers, hunters, many different people). Breakfast is great, the pancakes are unforgottatble!
3- We were in a motel room it was great. Rooms are spacious and clean, just near the river. Very quiet, bed is +++. A little bit cold, but it's not a big deal when you're under the blankets.
