We stayed in the family room and it was spacious like a cabin with an open floor plan and 3 beds. We all slept comfortably and woke up to a beautiful snow capped view of the mountains. The shower fixture Sucked tbh but other than that we had a great stay!

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 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.
