Sierra Vista Motel
Wofford Heights

10/10 Exceptional

The new owners were very accommodating, very kind, and very helpful. they just acquired the property so it is in a transition. Where they are doing a lot of upgrades. It’s affordable for what you need, and very clean. New beds and new TVs. There’s a little bar across the street. That’s lively and also a few stores, but the view of the lake from the porch is amazing. If you want to take a trip up to the Sierra’s, but don’t feel like camping or spending a lot of money. This is the place for you.
