AirBnB’ers Still Love A Traditional Motel:

AirBnB’ers Still Love A Traditional Motel:
Here’s what Nancy wrote
“The Dunsmuir Lodge is a charming place to stay – a small, old-style I chose because they are pet-friendly and was traveling with my small dog and cat. I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of room, amenities (and great shower!) plus the owners are very friendly people who really care about their guests’ experience! My critters and I were so comfortable that we are booked for our return trip home. Looking forward to enjoying their hospitality again in July!”
Nancy’s private feedback for you:
“Thanks again for being pet-friendly, and the perfect stop on the way from Portland to Pacifica! Looking forward to seeing you again in July.”

“A Great Place to Stay” in Dunsmuir.

By

Here’s our latest review on TripAdvisor…
5 ‘dot’ rating – the best.
We were driving to Oakland, CA from Seattle and wanted an overnight place to stay for the trip. We booked this place online and LOVED it. You absolutely cannot beat the price. The owners have bought a vintage motel and upgraded it. It is very clean, has a great bed with nice bedding, free wifi, and a TV. What more can you want? Since ours was just an overnight stay we picked an economy room which was perfectly fine. The owner is nice, and very helpful. The place is just South of the town of Dunsmuir on the outskirts of town so very quiet. We drove into town for a nice dinner outside at the brew pub. We highly recommend this place!”
Our Response: Thanks for your review! We’re here 24/7 since 2005 to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Don’t forget to get  some local food “to-go” and go eat at the picnic tables  by the river in the City Park. It’s a great way to cool off in the shade next to a cool flowing river in the summer!

EVConversion Dragsters Coming To A Track Near You!

By

You probably already know that Dunsmuir Lodge has Lift ticket packages and electric car charging. You might not know that EV’s are fast becoming competitors to Internal Combustion Engines in the sense of power. Well theres EV hope for “petrolheads”. Conversion companies are out there and big makers can see the writing on the wall. Make electric options.
That GM has electric drivetrain isn’t news (ev-1 fiasco). The real news is that Borg-Warner Automotive Inc provides the motors. Were talking electric “crate” motors to swap. If this is actually released it could be a game changer in the sense that it allows true “motorheads” who “need” combustion to try it out on their own vehicle, without doing a full EV conversion. Its got two of these motors linked here. https://www.borgwarner.com/technologies/electric-drive-motors/hvh-series-electric-motor
I must admit. While I love electric, theres nothing like the sound of the ls’d truck going up against it… You got exciting and sexy vs. quiet, reliable power.

Have a great day guys!
