This is a no-frills rustic hotel that does not offer a lot as far as amazing amenities, but the staff is always amazing, the rooms are clean and fairly quiet and the location is fantastic as it is right on main street in Gardnerville, and next to Heritage Park. The rooms have air conditioning and basic necessities, and there is coffee every morning in the lobby. parking is easy. We stay here regularly and will be back.

Historic property in the heart of Gardnerville, walkable to eateries (J T Basque across the street!) and cute shops, especially the fantastic vintage shop across the side street. Very quiet for being in the heart of town with a local park nearby as well. Perfect stay.
