Pleasant little place. Great view with the lake and sierra buttes rising behind it. Good stop after the Sierra buttes lookout hike.

An absolute gem. Grew up going here and despite having more visitors still retains its charm.

Been going here every year since I was a baby. This place is a hidden gem in the Sierra's with an amazing view of the Sierra Buttes. They have good fishing and boat rental prices are reasonable. Unfortunately I haven't been able to stay IN their cabins for several years because they are usually always booked up, but I go camping in the area and always come here to fish and relax.

A must see place tucked away in Sierra foothills. Great spot to fish and build great memory’s. Upper sardine lake is beautiful and worth the drive (MUST HAVE 4X4) the hike is just as beautiful. They have small boats that you can rent and enjoy a day of fishing.

Great hidden gem of a spot. Getting beers and enjoying the views was heavenly. Appreciate the friendliness of the staff, they were very welcoming.

We have enjoyed dinners up at the lodge for 6 years in a row. unreal location, great service and wonderful drinks. My children always love the kids menu and we haven't had a meal we didn't love.

My wife and I have been going to sardine lake resort for many years. We have dined at the lodge over those years but never stayed in the cabins. The lodge is nestled on lower sardine lake looking straight up at Sierra buttes, one of the most stunning views you can hope to see. This accompanied by exquisite dining makes for an outstanding special; it was our 29th anniversary. The camping at sardine lake campground and others is great and convenient. I highly recommend sardine lake resort .

Wow, what a hidden gem! We enjoyed the cocktail bar at 5:30pm. It was busy when we arrived but when people started heading to their dinner reservation we had the place to ourselves. Great drinks, the bartender was generous and so friendly. The views are unbeatable. Definitely a memorable spot!
