Silver City Mountain Resort

This was our second hiking trip in Mineral King. Both times we stayed in Shooting Star cabin, for seven or eight nights. Wish we could have stayed longer. Silver City Mountain Resort is the best! Feels like pure luxury in the middle of the most beautiful wilderness! Great staff! Great restaurant! Wonderful cabin, spacious and well equipped, with a beautiful view, surrounded with trees, and with all the comforts of home in such a gorgeous setting. After hiking all day, every day, getting back in the evening for a hot shower and a great meal in the restaurant felt like absolute heaven! CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN!!!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for five nights and six days. THE STAFF : Joseph the manager is awesome. Super informative and always wanting to assists in anyway he can. Sarah one of the many hosts / front desk employees. Is very sweet and attentive. THE RESTAURANT :Service - amazing Food - even better!!! Sun Rise special (ordered it twice) - the bacon is super flavorful and I ate every piece of it [I normally don't eat all my bacon]. The house potatoes are Rosmary seasoned. Flapjacks - very soft and in the sweeter side. The strawberry jam is great. Farewell French toast - really well done. Not super eggy and not really sweet. Grizzly burger - very juicy; it came with two patties. The sauce they add to it compliments the burger. We ordered the adult grilled cheese (I can't remember the name) - we ordered it without the jam but it was sooooooo good. The fries are outstanding. Crispy and well seasoned. Highly recommend eating here at least once! The orange juice and the French pressed coffee are something one shouldn't pass up --------the pies----- I have to start by saying i am not a pie eater. I'm not one who craves or will go out of my way to eat it. In fact I avoid it. YOU SHOULD BUY PIE HERE!!! The pecan pie is on the sweeter side but one of the best pies I've ever had. I ate an entire slice to myself on multiple occasions. My boyfriend loved their apple pie and the berry pie. I did not try it. OUR STAY: We loved it. We plan on returning. We loved the private bath and shower. We adored how off the grid and secluded this place is. The hikes near by are great and on the challenging side (not all just a few). There are also near by trails that lead you to cool little spots. IN OUR OPINION THE DRIVE UP HERE WAS 100% WORTH IT.

Drove by Silver City a few times within the last few years when going up to Mineral King for family hiking/backpacking adventures. Every time I looked at it longingly from my car window as I was exhausted and longed for some semblance of comfort.This year, eager to share the splendors of Mineral King with my sister (who is not a hiker), we opted to book a cabin and enjoy Mineral King a different way. Having previously stayed in cabins, I wasn't expecting much. Considering the elevation and lack of immediate access to amenities, I was preparing myself for much less. However, I was impressed by the friendliness, cleanliness, and readily available amenities.My party booked Sunny Point Cabin. It was perfect for our party of 4. It was very charming and clean. Cabin is situated perfectly behind the Lobby/Restaurant and in front of the bathrooms. Due to the proximity to the lobby, the cabin does have WiFi although weak at times. Moreover, Sunny Point has a toilet room but no shower however, the communal bathrooms right behind are impeccably clean. Shower stalls have perfect privacy with a little bench to stow your belongings. Additionally, dispensers in showers provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you forgot yours.The drive up to Silver City is not difficult if you're used to mountain roads but, it's not easy.. expect to drive no more than 10-15 miles per hour. It's a series of twists and turns that at certain points are unpaved and only fit one car. So, drive carefully and maybe avoid driving at night.We packed a lot of food expecting we'd be cooking... this did not happen as planned as the restaurant food is in fact really good. Seriously good. Definitely come here.. High end fresh faire in an unparalleled setting nestled among the forest. Oh, and if you're vegan, they have you covered. Do try the vegan black bean burger. In case you don't eat on the premises, cabin kitchens are stocked with all sorts of cooking amenities you may need: pots, pans, cups, plates, a French press, etc. You're covered. We opted to bring paper plates and disposable cutlery as we are cognizant that California is in the midst of a drought and wanted to do our part to conserve water.. Once again, the cabins are great and the best hiking opportunities in the valley are just miles away. I've done Eagle Lake, Mosquito Lake, and this time around a portion of Hockett Meadows. This place is perfect for even those people that aren't fond of the outdoors... however, they'll be leaving with a newfound appreciation.. so much so that we already booked our cabin for next year. **During my stay, there was HEAVY smoke due to the ongoing wildfires. Sleeping at night was almost unbearable. This has nothing at all to do with the resort but, keep that in mind.

We had an amazing time at the Silver City Mountain Resort!The drive up the mountain built our anticipation for the greatest weekend ever! we were greeted by the wonderful staff and two perfect dogs who checked in on a regular basis. the friendly staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The tranquil environment allowed ample amounts of time for star gazing. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful setting around the redwoods. Cabins and shared bathroom impeccably clean. Looks like it was recently remodeled.Restaurant cooking 4-5 stars. Great menu. Must try the desserts! Outdoor dining adds to the relaxed feeling. Cute gift shop inside. Baked cookies were HUGE, homemade and yummy.Super friendly, hard working staff.

Beautiful scenery, difficult to arrive so have a good vehicle ready, plan to stay for a couple days, otherwise have fun and enjoy!

This place is amazing!!!! Came for some time to chill under the tree's and to soak in the fresh air and this place did not disappoint. Well worth the "rough drive" in my opinion (20 miles @ 10 miles an hour, 1 lane, steep and bumpy in spots). Had such a relaxing and wonderful time. Molly (manager) and her crew are excellent. Friendly and helpful despite being short staffed. Resort dog "Steely Dan" I believe was his name, is just a sweetheart. Food here is also top notch. Although I packed some food, not knowing what to expect, I ended up eating all my meals at the restaurant. Healthy options available. Everything was absolutely delicious. Cabin was perfect for me and had everything I needed. I can't say enough great things about this place. It really is a little piece of heaven. I wish I could have stayed longer.

I needed an escape off the grid for a few days this late spring and planned one out to Silver City Mountain Resort in Mineral King last year (they book early and fill up quickly). I was not aware that they had been shut down since 2022 due to the road being washed out. It's not particularly enjoyable getting there, as the 20 miles up the mountain is very winding and the road is not in the best of condition (give it an hour or more). But there are a lot of improvements happening on a daily basis. Now, to the resort. It was exactly what I was looking for and more. The setting amongst the sequoias is ideal. The cabin was perfect, equipped with a gas fireplace, shower, and tub. I did the Paradise Ridge Hike on Saturday and it was on the challenging side. However, I think the views and the sequoias throughout make it very worthwhile. After the hike I settled into the restaurant. The food was fantastic, to say the least. And, the entire staff will apparently go out of their way to make sure their guests are very satisfied. Incredible people with a challenging job, since they had only been opened for over a week after being shutdown for two years. After leaving the resort on Sunday, I headed back down the mountain and off to Sequoia National Park. What a weekend! Highly, highly recommended!

Just left this wonderful spot after another highly enjoyable trip to Silver City. Shared Rock Cabin with two long time Sierra Club member who have hiked out if Silver City for over 45 years ! We found the staff delightful & accommodating. The cabins had been nicely updated since our last visit in '19 and the homemade pies OMG keep tasting better as does the entire menu, this year we brought our own food but planned one or two meals at the restaurant to fit in with our busy schedule. You'll find some of the nicest people enjoying the outstanding environment in and around this spot. Can't wait to see you all next time

Cute little resort. Me and my friends just stopped by on our way up the mountain. Everyone is super friendly here. They have WiFi and cute little knickknacks in the store. Bathrooms are super clean.
