We stayed here before our hike to Dardanelles Lake. It was so convenient and Han was the best host!! If you are hiking from Big Meadow Trailhead this is definitely the place to stay!

Hospitality is #1
This place was awesome! The view, nature around you, secluded from the business of Lake Tahoe, cleanliness of the rooms and loved their outdoor tables and seating area. The host Han is amazing and his hospitality is beyond what I have ever experienced when staying at an Inn, hotel or motel. I highly recommend staying here and I would definitely come back!

Noisy weird place
Room was clean but rundown: there was a hole in the middle of the floor - the whole large area was carpeted but it was like a tile 3 in deep was missing in one spot) - the weirdest thing. Ceiling light wasn’t working, we were told to use night stand lamp instead :> some neighbors decided to play techno music at 10 pm, the walls are paper thin; the proprietor didn’t do anything to stop it; luckily it stopped before 11 but the fact the front desk was non-cooperating will not make us come back. Bad management overall!

Great place to stay
It’s a quaint little inn maintained with so much heart by Mr Han. It’s not luxury accommodations but the rooms were clean. There’s fridge and a microwave which is might convenient.

The hotel management is extremely friendly. They go out of their way to accommodate the guest. We found a few bugs in the rooms, which is probably normal considering the area.
The Hotel is in the middle of nowhere, generally true with a lot of hotels in this area. Dining and other options are scarce, if any. The nearest town, South Lake Tahoe, is about 25 miles from here.

Quaint
The owner is very nice & helpful, and a lot of upgrading has gone into the rooms. However, some lighting needs to be added in the room, and the property needs to be sprayed to keep the creepy crawly things out of the rooms.

The owner Barry is a delightful human and so kind. The office has snacks available for most of the day. Which is great if you can't get service at the local tavern or restaurant apres ski, like we couldn't. The beds were super comfy and the rooms were cozy and warm.
