Silver Lake is really spectacular, and this lodge is nestled in the pines right on the edge of the lake and at the foot of Thunder Mountain. The rooms are simple and clean, and I love having a full kitchen and all the pots and pans and CORKSCRE...
W, fridge and stove/oven, etc. We hike and fish and generally enjoy ourselves. The staff this year was super nice and we'd recommend this place to anyone. There was a wedding going on and that looked like fun. If you want a fancy slick place... this aint it. But if you're looking to relax in an easy-going cabin surrounded by spectacular scenery - this place gets two thumbs up!

It is a bare bones old lodge - just what we wanted. BIG SURPRISE - the restaurant food was excellent after a long day of hiking. Both the butter chicken dinner and chicken with mushroom sauce dinner. Not fancy, but awesome.

We were a group of 13 at Kit Carson (across 8 rooms) and we had a lovely stay! Sam, the manager, is a wonderful host. He took great care of all guests and made sure everyone had whatever was needed throughout the stay. Chef Marcus was also incr...
edibly hospitable and had a delicious menu that we enjoyed all four days of our trip. The location was spectacular right next to Silver Lake and is the perfect location for visiting other nearby destinations in the Sierras. Looking forward to returning soon!

I've been going to Kit Carson Lodge for nearly 60 years.
My parents' ashes are both buried at Granite Lake and I make a trip up there every year to say hi to them and bring them their "drink".
SO, as you can guess Silver Lake and Kit Carson Lod...
ge are very special places to me.
On this trip I give the cabin (rooms) (Cinnamon Bear) a 4 as we were there on the last day of their season and the unit does need some work which they were attending to.
Sam, the Property Manager is a great guy! We had a couple of requests and he took care of them immediately. He told us about lots of exciting enhancements he would like to see on the property. He is very committed to Kit Carson Lodge (so much so that I initially thought he must be the owner) :-)
I also want to call out Scott (the head of maintenance who helped us several times in the 4 days we were there.
This is a wonderful property with great lake and forest views and so many things to do in the local area (hiking, biking, boating, fishing.
Thank you Sam and Scott for making it a wonderful vacation!!

I've been a visitor to Kit Carson Lodge over many years, and I've always loved this place. It's perfect for quiet times on beautiful Silver Lake and for those who love a classic, rustic Sierra experience. It's like the lodges I went to as a kid...
, decades ago. It's an excellent base for kayaking and day hikes around the Kirkwood & Carson Pass area. My one piece of advice for visitors is to bring extra food -- and for management & staff to make clear that they offer only a continental breakfast, and that dinner hours might vary day-to-day. Many guests are there to enjoy outdoor activities (like strenuous hikes) and will work up an appetite, so access to a good meal at the start and end of each day is important. There are very few dining options in the area, but the staff didn't seem to know the days/hours of the few other eateries. We had to drive a great distance to find a solid breakfast before a long hike, and we scrambled to find a dinner option when the lodge's restaurant closed early one evening, unannounced. When we failed to find one, the staff DID come to our rescue and re-opened the kitchen to prepare dinner for us. They were very kind and gracious about it -- but the situation could have been avoided with better planning and communication. All told, Kit Carson Lodge is wonderful, and I recommend it highly. They just need to adjust the dining situation a bit.
