Clair Tappaan Lodge - Accommodations MEALS ROOM TYPES RATES and BOOKNOW The ambience of the Clair Tappaan Lodge is evident in the spacious living room that boasts an enormous stone fireplace and antique ski memorabilia. The warm and cozy library offers an inviting space for those who wish to curl up with a good book or research the Sierra Nevada. Family style meals are served twice a day in the communal dining room and guests can soak their aching muscles in the hot tub after a day filled with outdoor activities, so be sure to bring your bathing suit. Staying at the Lodge The Lodge itself has hosted generations of Sierra Club members in its uniquely friendly, communal atmosphere. Since the very beginning, the cooperative spirit familiar to Sierra Club Outing participants has been employed at the lodge. Each day of their stay, guests assist with daily kitchen chores such as meal preparation and serving, setting tables, or dishwashing. These chores require about one half hour each day. Because the Lodge is an old building, constructed of wood and shingles, no smoking is allowed, either in the building or on the surrounding trails. A small, friendly, and professional staff care for the Lodge year round. Meals A hearty cooked breakfast and dinner are prepared each day by the professional kitchen staff and are served family-style in the Lodge's large dining room. Brown bag lunch provisions are available for guests to take with them each day. Dinner is at 6 pm except on Sunday when it is at 5 pm. A vegetarian meal option is available for every meal. Guests with other dietary restrictions can usually be accommodated, provided that the lodge staff is informed in advance. All accommodations are in bunk beds equipped with mattresses (bring your own sleeping bag or bedding). A variety of room types and sizes are available. Restroom and shower facilities are shared, with two men's and two women's bathrooms (bring your own towel). Excellent family-style meals are included in the price.
