![]() ![]() An elderly man revisiting the honeymoon suite commits suicide. ![]() She believes spirits lurk everywhere because the universe is just interconnected energy fields. A former actress turned psychic becomes a guest. As they wander through the hotel, they play repeated pranks on each other. They’re determined to record evidence of supernatural activity by her ghost. Claire and Luke are fascinated with the tale of an old woman who committed suicide there years ago. ![]() ![]() They are the overnight staff during an allegedly haunted hotel’s final weekend. The thin story concerns a young woman named Claire and a young man named Luke. With easier access in summer, the lodge can also be a base for a day trip to Lake Tahoe itself, or to ride Squaw Valley’s aerial tram to a mountaintop pool and roller rink, or make a leisurely loop through quaint old gold rush towns like Nevada City, complete with swimming-hole stops along the Yuba River.THE INNKEEPERS is an unsuccessful, atmospheric horror movie. But summer and fall bring mountain bikers (a single-track network skirts the property), hikers (the Pacific Crest Trail passes nearby), and, the innkeepers say, return guests who are getting older and are no longer up for the snowy four-mile winter trek to get there. Winter is peak season at the lodge, which tends to close for the spring melt, mid-April to mid-June. The rugged timber home built by the current innkeepers’ parents has luxe touches like roaring fires, jetted tubs, and a chef’s kitchen available for guest use. Just northwest of the lake, one place to feel far from the world (but be just 40 miles from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and its direct flights from PDX) is the Lost Trail Lodge, a hike-, bike-, ski-, or snowshoe-in backcountry inn near Truckee (, rooms from $230/night, full lodge rental from $1,480 plus cleaning fee). With most of the population (and most of the direct flights from Portland) along the coast, California’s towering eastern edge can feel like another planet altogether-where the Sierra Nevada mountain range takes in Sequoia ( our cover image), Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, as well as the left footprint of ski-resort-ringed Lake Tahoe. ![]()
