스트로베리 인(Strawberry Inn)

Many thanks to Vic, Judith, and Larry for their hospitality at the Strawberry Inn. To sum it up in a word, the Inn is charming! It can’t be easy to be one of the few remaining family-owned accommodations. Our room, #11, faced the South Fork Stanislaus River which was high due to the spring snow melt and we slept to the sounds of the river. Fantastic! The room was very spacious, with 2 very comfortable queen beds, a chair, table, large dresser, an open closet, an air conditioning unit, shower/tub bathroom, coffeemaker, and DirectTV. The only drawback of the room was the bathroom vent, connected to the bathroom light, which was an older model and very noisy. I recommend bringing a night light or you will wake up others in the room if you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. No microwave or refrigerator but the nice staff at the restaurant provided ice free of charge. We decided against paying for WiFi which I think is per day per device. Cell reception is non-existent as is the case for most of the Pinecrest area if you have AT&T (I think Verizon customers get better reception). But there are rewards to being disconnected from the Internet. There is a lovely outdoor area with shaded outdoor tables and chairs. Veteran anglers will enjoy fishing the area just below the Inn. This early in the summer season, the restaurant was not open for lunch, dinner, but Mia’s down the road has excellent offerings and Dodge Ridge just opened its bar and grill for the summer. The Strawberry General Store is just across the street. Parking is plentiful and the location is great for enjoying hiking and fishing the Sierras. We enjoyed our stay very much!

The large river view room was clean, beds were a little squeaky, but comfy. The air conditioner worked beautifully. The windows in the room had a screen so you could open it and hear the river. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was much more than I expected from reading some of the reviews. Sometimes the critics are not always right. We could hear activity above us, but nothing we haven't heard being in a downstairs apartment, on a cruise ship, or on the bottom floor of anywhere. We had stayed in a house cabin before with no air conditioning and lots of insects. this place was a big upgrade. This place is not a 4 or 5-star hotel. For a place in the woods, it was comfortable and clean and had EVERYTHING we needed. I look forward to going back, again and again.

Very old properties. Smells in the room

While the check in was friendly-good and the sp**** room was clean, staff members partied into the AM hours of the night. Blaring car horns, yelling and even a dog joined in at times. It was difficult to sleep. We decided to check out early and return home the next night. Plan to bring your own sheets and pillow cases. The shame is that this place offers such a beautiful setting, with the 2-tier dining gazebo overlooking the River. It really could be a decent getaway spot except for the night party noise. Other members of the party were prone to talking in the hotel hallway next day. Dining options are heavy, burgers, beef goulash, sandwiches and fries. The Pizza was actually decent. In spite of the pizza and beautiful setting, I’d rather rent a cabin in lieu of this place next time. Extremely disappointing. As stated earlier we felt compelled to drive home the last night and sleep in peace.

We paid for a stay for my dad and step mom for his 50th year at Pinecrest. The rest of us were camping and this way he could be here to. the room wasn't ready when they tried to check in. Then when it was "ready" , it was super dirty -hair on the floor, beds looked slept in. The place could be so great- excellent location. The bed was uncomfortable. The next day when they asked for maid service they were told they didn't have housekeeping.I know the world is going through a lot right now, but please adjust your rates to reflect your level of service. OR Better- upgrade your level of service so you deserve what you charge. Really disappointed

This little inn is not fancy but clean and run by nice people. I was overheated from camping nearby and this place was a lifesaver. Good, simple food downstairs and the charming general store is across the street. Very glad to have found it and highly recommend for what it is.

We came to spend time with family for a fun weekend away. We paid for two nights at Strawberry Inn, the beds are like sleeping on the floor, very uncomfortable and the pillows were rubber like. The second night we spent the day at the lake with my family, we got back spring 9PM and all of our things were gone! They took our stuff and said we only paid for one night, but I have confirmation of two nights. They said we will not be getting our things until the morning. I have contacts, Invisalign, medicine etc that I take every night. They didn’t call or text to even check in on the confusion of the stay. WORST PLACE EVER! We will be taking legal action.

Do not support this business. Yes they have a 14 day cancellation policy but we booked in August for April and it snuck up on us when we noticed an error. The Owner says “pay for you mistakes” and won’t offer any refund when we gave 5 days notice. They must be hard up for money, so good luck if you book. They would rather keep someone’s 200 dollars and have an empty room then someone that could say what wonderful customer service they have

We were scheduled to stay at this inn last fall. Fires hit outside the area and the all day horse ride we had planned was not going to be allowed by the pack station for safety reasons. We tried to get a credit for a future stay, but they would not allow it. After a couple of phone calls and lots of dialoguing, the inn agreed to give us 50% back which was at least something. We ended up paying over $200. for nothing! In our opinion, this was still not reasonable. The inn was not responsible for the fires, and we were were not asking for a cancellation only a credit on a future stay. We will definitely never reserve at the Strawberry Inn in the future.
