Claire Tappen is a gem - for those seeking respite from the craziness of our busy world, community, beauty, quiet...

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderfol spot located in Soda Springs' CA. Large commons room, quite library, various accommodation options. Affordable. Excellent hiking or skiing right out the front door. Meals are freshly cooked and accommodate dietary needs. Meal plan is extra, ask for meal plan if its not offered. Remember to take your own bedding. Pillows are provided. Wonderful place to create memories.
Katrina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a lovely lodge nestled in beautiful landscapes and they provided exactly what I was looking for - a quiet, rustic place to stay for a few nights while enjoying some time outdoors. There was a bit of confusion with what services were included with my stay since I booked through Expedia rather than directly through the lodge's website and that detracted from my experience a bit. I would recommend that Expedia and Clair Tappaan smooth out those bumps to improve future stays!
Sabina, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Reservation screwed, so that I needed to look for a place for that night despite late night. (I put special note telling my arrival would be late though.) The Expedia booking system should not indicate “available room” when the host office is closed.
Hibiki, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Icy outside, and cold inside!
They’ve got a driveway they don’t maintain well, and a parking lot they don’t maintain well, that are the slipperiest we’ve ever experienced! And it was not clear there was no point to driving up the crazy driveway / no parking up there. Sometimes one factor can ruin an experience no matter how nice everything else is, and in this case it was two factors. 1) Every time we were in our moving vehicle on their property, I was afraid the vehicle was going to be damaged by sliding off the road or into another vehicle in their parking lot. The public roads were fine, it was only their driveway and parking lot that were horribly maintained and thus icy af. 2) The window in our room did such a horrible job blocking the cold, and no heat in the room, that we were cold all night even after renting blankets since they don’t provide ANY with the room! Crazy.
