Mountain Home Inn

Lovely! Great location, great staff. Great hikes and views.

Absolutely beautiful location with view, trees all around, clean air, hiking trails nearby. Staff went the extra mile to quickly meet our requests. Gorgeous room with balcony and amenities. Design of the inn is exceptional and the host has added little touches everywhere through art work, blankets to keep warm in rocking chairs on view porch, board games in the lovely lounge with fireplace... even the water glasses are beautiful! Super comfy soft bathrobes. Peaceful at night,

Restaurant was closed. However we were given a good snack type supper of hot soup and sausage. Plenty of great wines and beers.

This old Inn offers a rare opportunity to stay at the edge of Muir Woods and hike down to the forests below. My room was comfortable and recently renovated but a bit small. Staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay again.

Breakfast is very good, but otherwise the food options are quite limited (though this might just reflect the time of year!)

Location, location, location. This place is in a spectacular spot on the Panoramic highway, nestled in the evergreen forest with sweeping views of the Bay Area. Right across the street is a trailhead for trails that go down into Muir Woods.

It was a little skimpy on amenities and the menu was very limited. No shampoo in the bathroom. No soap in the shower, only hand soap. But otherwise everything needed was available. Again the setting made up for it.

Amazing location for hiking Mt Tam. Cooperate with Pelican Inn at Muir Beach which makes an amazing dinner experience. Fireplace in room, balcony, fantastic views.

Ample and delicious breakfast included, unlimited coffee and tea. Bathtub spacious. In-room fridge, microwave, coffee maker, heater. Bath robes provided. Comfortable bed. Clean. European ambiance, homey.

None I can think of.

It was a beautiful and beautifully decorated building and room, lovely view from a nice patio, completely quiet at night with excellent privacy, comfortable bed, perfectly located close enough to Muir Woods that I could hike down to the main trail close to the visitor's center and back up again after my visit. I liked the nice, big bathtub.The comlimentary continental breakfast was a nice touch, but didn't have enough vegan options. Parking was easy with reserved spaces for registered guests. The staff was nice enough. Booking.com had apparently messed up my reservation: I had selected two nights, but on the second day the front desk staff was confused when I returned from my hike and said hello. She asked if I was staying with them again that night, and I said yes, I have the room for two nights. She came down to my room to ask for proof, because the computer said I was checked out that morning. I had just deleted all of my many duplicate emails from Booking.com because I thought I didn't need them anymore. I had to log in to my Booking.com account (which I deleted today, because this first, last, and only experience was so bad) in order to show the reservation in my account, which did in fact show the dates of two nights. Fortunately nobody else had booked the room, so I could stay. The staff member apologized and said she has also had bad experiences with Booking.com for flights. I would suggest the front desk staff should confirm the reservation with the guest upon check-in, saying, "welcome! I see you will be staying with us for (number of nights inserted here)." That way there won't be any confusion if the booking company messed up the reservation. Wifi is provided, but I didn't bother to use it, so I don't have anything more to say about that.

The directions provided got me lost once and almost lost a second time. I tried calling the front desk to ask for help, but there wasn't an answer. I left a message and didn't get a response. I had to figure it out on my own, even though it was the first time I had ever been to that area. The only vegan food options at the bar were fruit salad or hummus with veggies and crackers. I love hummus, I have had all of the different food brands of hummus and many restaurant hummus dishes. It's pretty difficult to mess it up, but this place managed to create the worst hummus ever; terrible texture, terrible taste There's a window in the room between the bathroom bathtub and the bedroom so one can open the shutter and see the view out the patio glass doors from the shower/tub, so I decided to open the shutter on the second night and enjoy the view during my bath. I noticed nose and mouth skin oil stains, like someone had pressed their nose and wide-open mouth against the glass. I have no idea why anyone would do that, but it was gross to see it in a room that was supposed to be cleaned between guests. It made me wonder what else didn't get cleaned after the last guest. When I noticed an accidental overcharge on my credit card statement that didn't match my emailed receipt, I emailed the hotel twice with screenshots because the staff had gone home for the day. Since I couldn't talk to anyone about it, I worried about it so much I had insomnia on my second night. I had to drive to Calaveras Big Trees Park on NO sleep. I even sent a follow-up email from the next lodging where I stayed on my trip, no response. This trip was supposed to be relaxing, and turned out not to be. I finally got home after my stay in Yosemite, looked at my statement, and saw the amount had been fixed; but still NO communication nor explanation.
