8/10 Good
"Although the room had older furniture, it was very clean and roomy. The check in staff was friendly and easy. Parking was available and close. The only drawbacks were the facts that no USB port was available for charging and they needed a floodlight in the area that connected the two story rooms to the front rooms. It was dark walking that area at night. I would stay there again."

"We used the property as our home base while we hiked Mt. Whitney and it was exactly what we needed to make our trip a very memorable one. The kitchen was an awesome place to prepare a celebratory dinner after our hike. The swimming pool and hot tub were a great amenity considering our physical condition after the hike. The views from the property are truly amazing. I would highly recommend this property to any of my friends or family."

"We stayed at Reo's Ranch in Lone Pine for our Mt. Whitney hike (Aug 6–9) with a group of 8, and it was hands-down one of the best stays we've had. The house is spotless, spacious, and comfortable — plenty of room for our whole group without feeling cramped. The living room gave us a great space to relax and regroup after the hike, and kitchen utensils made cooking for the group a breeze. Beds had clean, fresh sheets and towels waiting for us, and the AC kept the place cool and comfortable even after long, hot days on the trail. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient — easy access to both Whitney Portal and Lone Pine town. The front yard is spacious enough to park several cars, which was a huge plus for a group our size. And of course, the views are unbelievable — you couldn't ask for a better backdrop before or after a big hike. On top of all that, the owners were wonderful — great communicators and genuinely caring hosts who made the whole stay easy and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone tackling Mt. Whitney or just visiting Lone Pine!"
