Mt Williamson Motel and Basecamp

Super cute cottages. I’m in a suite with a living room, kitchen and separate bedroom and bath. Well kept, thoughtful selection of decor. Super comfy. Beautiful shared spaces and porch. Only difficulty is lack of restaurants and groceries.

Incredible stay and views!

Great room and amenities in the room.

Great atmosphere, quiet, separate cabins, great host.

I booked this property thinking it was close to national parks. I didn’t find out until too late to cancel. We left one day early to get closer to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The owners were very friendly and asked us to join them for pizza and wine. We met some of their friends. If we were hikers, this would be an ideal place to stay. We did travel north to see some of the beautiful mountains and lakes.

Had everything we needed in a small but well equipped and updated cabin. Enjoyed the stay!

Good location, view of the mountains directly across the street, get to breakfast early and you can get a table with a picture window to take it all in. Breakfast was good, good variety, well staffed to keep coffee and food topped up - this was a busy place - almost fully booked and it wasn't quite peak season, hence the price, worth a bit extra based on what I could see of some of the other "cheaper" places in town (small town).

The room was smallish with two queen sized beds, the bathroom was narrow, renovations were done not too long ago, but I found peeling wall paper in high wear areas. This place gets a lot of use, so don't expect perfection.

Location, the apartment, the information we got from Doug. The place is 20 min from Lone Pine and Alabama Hills, an outstanding site to visit.

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!
