You can't beat the view! Home away from home
We recently stayed at this charming house as we came to hike Mt. Whitney. This is about as close as you can stay to the Portal without being in the campground, and the nearby Alabama Hills were a delightful surprise.
If you're looking to be pampered in a sterile environment, this is not your place. If you're looking for a comfortable, restful place, with elements of history and local flair, now you're talking. We stayed during the heat of summer, and the swamp cooler kept the main areas cool, but if you want the bedrooms cool, you have to keep the doors open; there are a couple day beds in the living room, and my wife chose wisely to sleep on one of those. By the owners' admission, there are also a few small ants that make their way inside (many more outside); I'm guessing it's a losing battle, and they're not big on blasting them with a nonstop stream of chemicals. They were a minor annoyance, but not the end of the world.
All in all, if I was going back to Lone Pine, I'd 100% stay there again. It's what VRBO was initially meant to be: a home away from home. For us, it was a place of respite bookending a grueling hike to the Mt. Whitney summit.
