I love that the property had a fully stocked convenience store, gas station, and hardware store. My truck needed half a quart of oil and they even had the right oil. I also liked the big bathroom. I would definitely stay there again next time I'm at Big Pine.

My husband got the best sleep of our 7-day road trip and said that the Bristlecone Motel bed was better than any of the other motels we stayed at. Brewed Awakening, located just across the street, is a great spot for a quick breakfast. We both had their homemade cinnamon rolls.

I love this hotel. The store is in the same parking lot so you can get anything you need right there. Easy check in and check out. Plus they have an Apple TV for you to sign in and watch your shows after a long day of hiking.
