The Lost Sierra Lodge
Welcome to The Lost Sierra Lodge, a comfortable mountain basecamp thoughtfully designed and well-suited for golf trips, wedding groups, multi-family getaways, and close friends traveling together.

Our roots in the Lost Sierra go back generations, and we’re always happy to help guests experience the area like a local.
A Home Designed for Group Travel
When you enter the Lodge, the home opens up with warm gathering spaces, natural light, and room for everyone to spread out comfortably. The layout was intentionally designed for groups - making it easy to spend time together while still offering multiple places to relax, play, or step outside.
Some guests gravitate toward the pool hall, others to the great room or deck, but the home flows naturally between spaces so no one ever feels crowded.
