this hotel was amazing, it has been totally remodeled and it is beautiful. the outdoor fire pits are lovely and the grounds are so nice! a perfect place for a getaway,
We enjoyed our one-night stay. The hotel was very clean and conveniently located, the staff was friendly and super helpful, and everything worked out great for us. Thank you.
My husband and I found this little gem quite by accident. We absolutely fell in love with the place! The peace, beauty and all the amenities. We are taking all of our children and grandchildren there for a couple of days soon.

Comfortable bed, friendly staff, affordable and close to Sierra at Tahoe.
Cute inn next to the river with campfire and BBQ pits for guests to use. Great location for access to Sierra-at-Tahoe. The only downside is the noise from upstairs if you happen to get a room on the first floor.
I’m a little spoiled when it comes to hotels—I typically stay in 3-star-and-above properties that cost $200+ per night. But the reviews were so impressive that I decided to give it a try, and it absolutely lived up to the hype.
The rooms were spotless, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location right on the river was beautiful. One of my favorite parts of the stay was relaxing by the pre-lit fire pits, listening to the river flow by under the stars.
A wonderful experience, and I’d happily stay here again.

Very clean, friendly staff, beautiful view of river.
Fast check in, clean room and shower. The only thing is that you can clearly hear noises like footsteps from the second floor. Try staying in the second floor
