River Ranch Lodge & Restaurant

Hotel- thank you to the front desk lady on 2/14. You were very accomodating, friendly and professional. Room is nice with comfy bed and good pillows. Great view of the river with nice balcony. Love that there is a separate thermostat for heat in the main room and bathroom. There is a separate nook/mirror for doing make up aside from the sink. Has iron, fridge, coffee maker and small dining table. No microwave. I think there is no AC but saw a fan in the room. Choice of continental breakfast was good. Restaurant - For dinner, we had $50 stroganoff, $12 cheesburger. Food was really good!!! yum! including the cocktail and chocolate tarte. Pearl and staff was really nice and very attentive. The ambience is relaxing.

My husband and I sat at the low table by the fire, and it was absolutely beautiful and cozy. Courtney, our server, was outstanding—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable throughout the evening. She checked in at just the right moments and recommended the Johansson 2021 Cabernet, which was delicious and exclusively available at the restaurant. My husband had the elk chop, and I enjoyed the mushroom stroganoff; both were excellent. This is truly the best place for dinner during the winter after a long day of skiing. We can’t wait to return!

Like finding a home on the mountain... seriously quaint and delicious. Not only is this place cozy and inviting but it is perfectly located at the base of Alpine Meadows of Palisades (which has a bus to take you up too if you don't wanna move your car). The rooms all have different themes, the beds are clean and the heater fierce. Everything a tired snowboarder is looking for. Especially since they have a great restaurant and bar right on the property with amazing service. Can't wait to go back, for the convince of the place it is a great value.

Quaint, inviting, warm, delicious, with great service and location. Ok let's start: The Ugly: Snow plow can block your car in the middle of the lot, so park along the building. The Bad: The heater is fierce... be careful leaving it running when you leave. The Good: Amazing location, great restaurant and bar that has quick and friendly service. The place is clean, cozy and feels like a traditional cabin. People there are really responsive, respectful and match your energy. They went out of their way to give me great tips.

Oof, restaurant atmosphere and food was NOT a good experience, tho the service was amazing. :/ The room (restaurant) was cold as ice, we were freezing even after moving away from the windows. The lighting on the table is offensive/LED, and made it impossible to read the menu. The menu itself was confusing and inaccurate. My husband’s pork chop and my elk were a bit fatty and low on actual edible meat. I probably had only two fingerling potatoes (quartered) on my plate and a few thin carrots (undercooked and cold) as my sides - a very underwhelming amount of actual food for $47. Brussel sprout app was overcooked and slathered in aioli - bummer. Only a few shishitos in there. Best service tho. I’m sorry to post this, for the staff, whom were all lovely and professional. I resist ever writin
