OYO Sleepy Hollow sits on the edge of Lake Gregory, and the first thing you notice is how close the water is—you can see it from the parking lot and hear it from many rooms. This small property has a casual, unfussy atmosphere that works well as a base camp for exploring Crestline’s mountain-lake setting. The motel includes standard rooms and units with kitchens, which helps if you’re managing a dog’s feeding schedule during a longer stay. There’s a pool on-site, though access for dogs depends on the season and current operations.

Dogs stay for a nightly fee and typically have their own designated rooms. Confirm the current pet policy and any size restrictions when booking, as these vary. Water access for dogs at the pool depends on seasonal schedules—contact the property directly if this matters to your plans.

The lakefront location puts you steps away from walking opportunities. The lake itself has public access points nearby, and surrounding Crestline roads offer mountain-town walks with shade from pine and oak. Lake Gregory Regional Park sits just across the street, with roughly three miles of accessible trails and direct lake views. The park has picnic areas and a structured trail system for longer hikes. Crestline’s elevation hovers around 4,500 feet, so bring layers even in summer—mornings are cool. The town’s main strip on State Route 18 runs through downtown about a mile away, where you’ll find casual dining spots with outdoor seating and a grocery store for supplies. The motel’s small-town location means parking is easy and there’s minimal traffic noise away from the main highway, though the lake-adjacent position can mean weekend crowds during summer months.
