A MOUNTAIN PARADISE

OPEN MAY 24th, 2024 to OCTOBER 12TH, 2024
In an area renowned for fishing, hiking, birding, wildflowers and scenic beauty, you are surrounded by unexpected opportunities to view soaring eagles and osprey, deer, otters and a variety of other wildlife.

The original lodge, built in the 1940's by Audrey and George Browning, which later expanded, adding an additional dining room in the original chinked log construction, is complete with family heirloom furnishing, period lighting and memorabilia of the lodge's fishing and local history.

The Main Lodge is open daily at 8am for beverages, including beer and wine, snacks, bait & tackle, boat rentals and cabin reservations.  Alongside the main lodge, which also hosts a fine dining restaurant, are our nine handcrafted housekeeping cabins nestled among the pine trees.

We invite you to join us sharing all the joys of a summer vacation at "the lake".   Enjoy the peaceful rhythm of morning fishing in the mist, afternoon naps on your cabin porch, cocktails on the lake gazebo or find yourself settling into our lakeside restaurant for a unique culinary delight.  

Experience LIFE at Sardine Lake Resort.

What OTHERS ARE SAYING

The scenery at the lake is stunning, of course, just look at any photo and believe me, the photos just don't do it justice until you are standing lakeside enjoying the view of the Sierra Buttes.
