Relaxing
Our room looked recently renovated. The property is undergoing some updates and improvements. The property is right on the river, and they provide chairs, picnic benches, and open fire options to enjoy the river and its views. So peaceful and relaxing.

Nice Room, Amazing Bed, Great Location
Amazing hotel especially for the cost. Was very nice to hear and see the river just outside the rear windows. Unit was very clean with very high-end fixtures and appealing decor. And oh my god... the beds were amazing. This probably sounds like an exaggeration but I've stayed in many hotels and without a doubt, the bedding and mattress here were absolutely the most comfortable I've ever been in. Extremely fine pillowcases and sheets and a very nice semi-firm mattress but with a soft foam top. Bed was actually a 10/10, I really could not imagine anything nicer and more comfortable.

In my 40 years of traveling, I have never received a warmer, more sincere welcome at a hotel. From the first moment of check-in through dropping of my keys on the way out, the owners and staff made me feel like a VIP at every interaction. The dedication and passion toward offering guests the best possible experience could not have been more evident. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the location offered a serene get away that allowed us both to find both relaxation and entertainment with the natural surroundings enhanced by carefully curated amenities like riverside seating, outdoor barbecues, and a communal fire pit that made use feel at home. I can't wait to come back to and both enjoy the amazing place these owners have created and see what new developments have been made as they continue to enhance and improve the property while maintaining the contextual respect for the location's natural beauty.

Beautifully renovated location that is better in person than the photos. Conveniently located 15ish minutes from south lake tahoe. Enjoying eating breakfast on the property overlooking the river and sharing a campfire with other residents. *eating was not convenient and wish we would have known this before our long drive. There is an amazing cafe (highly recommend but only open Sundays) for light breakfast options next door and a korean one man show type restaurant about 1 mile away next to a gas station/convenience store. The wait was long but worth it. Portions were big and can be shared. For long term stays plan accordingly. It was good for our single night stay. Will definitely stay here again!
