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.

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!

Staff super friendly and provided us with generous amount of snack/food. They’ve renovated an old motel so everything feels new. The walls are thin and rooms are small but having a fridge and microwave was super nice. Our family enjoyed staying here for going to Kirkwood skiing trip.

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.

They have worked very hard to renovate and the inn looks very nice. Cozy and comfortable. Floors in our room were very creaky but other than that a very nice quiet place to stay.
