Cardinal Village Resort is the Eastern Sierra's best kept secret!  We have a rich history as the mill site of Cardinal Gold Mine dating back 115 years.  Most of our cabins were built at the turn of the century to house and serve the miners.  The main lodge was the paymaster's quarters. Golden Trout, our largest cabin with room for 8-16 guests, was originally the stable. Thunder and Lightning, is a  duplex with adjoining doors, built in the 1970's.  Hungry Packer is the newest addition to the Village, built in 1996.  The rest of the cabins were homes to the miners.  We work year round to keep each cabin updated yet they all maintain that rustic High Sierra feeling.

All of our cabins have kitchens with basic utensils and of course, indoor plumbing.  Outdoors you will find a BBQ and picnic area at each cabin.

We supply the sheets, blankets, pillows and towels and our own Cardinal Village glycerin soap! (Exception: Golden Trout, Fishgut and Bottleneck guests provide their own sheets and towels.)

A two night minimum is required, three nights on holiday weekends.  Roll away beds are available for an additional $15 per night.  

Sorry but we do not allow pets.
