We recently stayed at this charming house as we came to hike Mt. Whitney. This is about as close as you can stay to the Portal without being in the campground, and the nearby Alabama Hills were a delightful surprise. If you're looking to be pampered in a sterile environment, this is not your place. If you're looking for a comfortable, restful place, with elements of history and local flair, now you're talking. We stayed during the heat of summer, and the swamp cooler kept the main areas cool, but if you want the bedrooms cool, you have to keep the doors open; there are a couple day beds in the living room, and my wife chose wisely to sleep on one of those. By the owners' admission, there are also a few small ants that make their way inside (many more outside); I'm guessing it's a losing battle, and they're not big on blasting them with a nonstop stream of chemicals. They were a minor annoyance, but not the end of the world. All in all, if I was going back to Lone Pine, I'd 100% stay there again. It's what VRBO was initially meant to be: a home away from home. For us, it was a place of respite bookending a grueling hike to the Mt. Whitney summit.

We really enjoyed the home and especially our hosts during our stay. They were so very nice and accommodating. We were so thrilled when they came out to welcome us back “home” from our hiking adventure to the summit of Mt. Whitney. Sarah and Jaime were truly great, helped us be prepared with tips, and provided such a positive and stress free environment to rest and spend a beautiful time with friends. We loved the views from the windows and the peaceful backyard. This is a great choice for exploring Lone Pine, Mt. Whitney, the Alabama Hills, or anything in the area. We hope to be back again!

My friend and I wanted a comfortable basecamp for our Whitney adventures. This was IT! I enjoyed the quirks of the house, and the vintage decor. Everything we could have wanted was available to us. My bed was also very comfortable. We took walks at sunset amongst the Alabama Hills, drove up to Horseshoe Meadow to explore and acclimate, then set off to summit. How glad were we to come back to a shower, and the comforts of a home. I think we are over our dirty camping days! Everything worked for us! it was hot, and the cooler was just right. We also used the bbq without issues. I appreciated that Jamie and Sarah encouraged composting. Highly would recommend to friends, and would rent again myself.

We stayed at this property as a jumping-off point for a visit to Death Valley National Park, and for that purpose, it was wonderful! The kitchen was an especial highlight, with a dated but well-maintained range that worked great and the best pots, pans, and cutlery I've ever had in a rental. The house itself was a little dark in the evenings, but there was plenty of natural light---and gorgeous views!---through the windows during the daytime. Communications with the host were prompt and courteous, and the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet. The only thing that I wish I'd known before our stay: apparently the local fire station sets off a siren when there's something going on in the middle of the night. The second night we were there, a siren that sounded like an old air raid siren went off briefly at 3am then at 3:15am. After checking to make sure there was no emergency affecting us, we were able to get back to sleep, but if we'd known about this before, we could have skipped the search around the house and the check online for any emergency alerts. I'm still giving this property 5 stars, though, because I would definitely stay here again.

Of all the places I’ve stayed in my life, for me this is number one by far. I’m 77 and have traveled to many places and many counties. This is by far the best. The yard and garden are real special. The home is so very homey. I can’t say enough.
