Great place great view close to everything and all kinds of things to do jet ski rental boat rental skiing fishing
Affordable, no frills motel. Kind and caring staff. Long term stays available. Pet friendly, with a low surcharge and deposit - which is very difficult to find! Near shopping and across the street from the lake. Definitely recommend.
I was stranded in Lakeport due to a vehicle breakdown. Rainbow Lodge management, Charles, was extremely accommodating with my three dogs and a cat, as I was in the process of moving to Fort Bragg. The room is clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere quiet. Microwave, refrigerator, and wifi in room. Next to the lake with a chance to walk across the street and enjoy the beauty. The Mexican restaurant next door serves great food with large portions--enough for two meals! I met other staff, who were also very helpful. As stressful as the situation was with my transportation issues, Rainbow was like an oasis for my three-day stay. (My dogs enjoyed the atmosphere as well.)
Good place. Safe. Wifi. Heat and air. Good location. Relatively reasonable price. They make an effort to do the right thing for the guest. Reputable.
The owners are very friendly and always have a smile! The rates are decent and this establishment is close to a Mexican Restaurant and across the street from the lake. I give it five stars for my opinion. ..I am not giving this establishment "five stars" for its amenities. It's Family-owned and they allow pets for another fee. Their gift shop is very nice...ladies- they sell earrings and other jewelry. Even if you're not staying here...stop by and check out their gift shop!
This place is a cozy spot, with a safe atmosphere. Pet and people (kids, adults & even evacuees s too) friendly. Rooms are decent, not extravagant, but not shabby either. Slightly old fashioned in a solid, real-feeling way. I like it.
This place is awesome. Nice rooms and great people.
Great little place the manager is super nice great view's right across from the lake love it
