Desolation Hotel Hope Valley

The 24 Best Places to Go Glamping in California

"A riverside property featuring minimalist cabins and furnished yurts (yurts sleep two and offer king beds, fireplaces, partitioned bathrooms with soaking tubs, and skylights), the site includes Sorenson's Cafe with an elevated menu (examples given: smoked trout dip and wild mushroom risotto) and a new bar and grill focused on classics like bratwurst and pulled pork sandwiches. Guests can use a wood-fired sauna and enjoy close hiking-trail access; a sibling property, Desolation Hotel Lake Tahoe, is about 30 minutes away and provides a private Lake Tahoe beach." - Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe is a Los Angeles-based writer with an obsession with good eats and interesting stories.
