We went for the renaissance faire that is nearby. Parking was easy and convenient. The room was clean and perfect. The staff was friendly and there’s a great pizza place across the street. Definitely would recommend and most likely will be back next summer!

Love this place

The staff is always so nice and professional. The rooms are clean, plenty of parking, it's quiet. The towels are okay but if you stay in hotels a lot like I do, you know they don't use softener due to people having allergies. The sheets are fresh and always clean. The water pressure is good too. The pillows are amazing!. All in all, I have stayed here before and will do so again.

Great place close to everything

Was up in Tahoe doing a few hikes and this inn was a delight. Very close to everything in South Lake Tahoe, maybe 10 min drive to Stateline? Walkable restaurants and coffee Nextdoor and across the street. Hot tub is a nice touch and there’s a GRILL guests can use! I had no idea till my last day there. Pretty cool. Definitely staying again!

Check in and out was very efficient and attendant was friendly. The room was very small (but clean) and the sink was backing up. It was remedied quickly, but we were lucky we discovered that quickly. We stayed at the property for a quick overnight, and it was perfect for that. Very rustic. For a pit stop I would absolutely recommend, for a longer stay however I would look at another option.

The room was little small. But it has everything you need, a bed, TV and a batroom. The space would be hard to move in if you have kids.
