Beautiful view and serene setting. Star-gazing is fantastic and saw many birds. Be sure to bring bug spray! You'll need a 4wd to get up here.

This was our 2nd stay at Calpine. Everything was just as great as the 1st time around 👍🏻.

This place is a gem! We had no issues with the stay or the hike in. There was plenty of toilet paper, but short on matches for the lamps. I ordered a silverware set since there was only one fork for sharing. The nearby falls was gorgeous and Graeagle looks amazing for mountain biking in the summer. We can’t wait to come back!

Lovely place to enjoy the sunset, night sky, and sunrise from. Fairly quiet (you can hear the cars) but you will spot light pollution coming from the south. This felt like glamping especially if you're used to backpacking! Hope others enjoy using the star wheel!

Amazing views and very well kept! It was an even better experience than I had hoped for. There are 2 flights of stairs that are easy to ascend even with an armload of goods. The gas stove top and oven allows you too cook like you are at home if you don't want to campfire cook. I stayed nice and toasty even when the nights were in the 30s. All the staff was welcoming and super helpful. I can't wait to go back!

Take Plenty of water and put your food up on the hooks or an ice chest because there are a few critters that come out at night.

Gorgeous spot, the winter trail was well marked. The kitchen could use a few mugs.

Another great spot this is the second tower I've stayed in, a perfect experience.

Everything was perfect for our stay. A few housekeeping tips - mantles were burnt out and the oven wasn’t working, but that did not stop us from enjoying ourselves.
