Meadowcliff Lodge Coleville KOA

2-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.4 / 5
Meadowcliff Lodge Coleville KOA is a two-star roadside lodging property on US-395 in Coleville, California, in the high-desert Eastern Sierra near the Nevada state line. The property pairs a motel-style lodge building with a KOA campground affiliation, and it sits set back from the highway, which guests note contributes to a quieter stay than typical roadside motels. Rooms in the lodge's motel portion are described by guests as clean, with comfortable beds and bedding, and units toward the rear of the property offer notable mountain views both to the front and back. Specific on-site amenities are not documented, so travelers should not expect resort-style facilities. The surrounding area is defined by outdoor recreation sites rather than urban conveniences: Topaz Lake, Monitor Pass, Heenan Lake, Lobdell Lake, and Leviathan Peak are all within about 14 to 17 kilometers. Dining nearby is sparse close to the property, with Mountain View Barbeque roughly 5.4 kilometers away being the closest option, while a handful of restaurants and bars are a 20-to-50-kilometer drive. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 108 kilometers away, making this a rural stopover or basecamp property rather than a city hotel.
Best for
This lodge suits road-trippers traveling US-395 and outdoor enthusiasts heading to Topaz Lake, Monitor Pass, Heenan Lake, Lobdell Lake, or Leviathan Peak, all within a short drive. It also appears to work well for longer work-related stays, as reflected in guest feedback praising the staff during an extended visit, making it a reasonable option for contractors or crews working in the region.
Travel tips
Because the property is set back from US-395, it offers a quieter overnight than many highway motels, but a car is essential since most restaurants are 20 kilometers or farther away, with Mountain View Barbeque the only close-by dining option at about 5.4 kilometers. If flying in or out, plan for roughly a 90-minute-plus drive to or from Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and fuel up or eat before or after visiting the more remote lake and mountain pass attractions nearby.
What guests say
Recurring positive themes in guest feedback include friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds and bedding. Several guests specifically praised the scenic views from rear units and appreciated that the property sits off the main road, contributing to a quieter stay. One reviewer highlighted a long-term work stay as a positive experience. A notable negative theme is a policy restriction against service dogs in the motel portion of the lodge, which at least one guest flagged as a significant drawback.
