We booked the top floor because it has that attic, Harry Potter feeling. OMG! It is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The room is so beautiful. We felt like we were living in Harry Potter's house, minus where Harry really lived in. Our only wish is that we can live in a place like this permanently. Our kids loved it. It really has that Precious Moments cottage feeling. For me, it really reminded me of the hostel we stayed in Frankfurt, Germany and Britain. The couple that are engaged and working there, are so friendly and welcoming. We will never forget their kind hospitality. We'll be back here.

Paradise in the woods!!

The lodge is located in the forest! We enjoyed the trail right next to the highway that is easy and meanders through the woods! The breakfast is more than a continental one with hot eggs potatoes and sausage. My room was upstairs with sumptuous king bed but no TV. My other party had our dog in a pet friendly room with two queens. His room had jacuzzi tub; mine just had shower. Overall great property!!

There was everything to love about the property. We stayed during the week. It was SO peaceful. The grounds are beautiful, stunning! Many areas throughout the property to sit and relax, both inside and outside. The breakfast in the morning was freshly made and very tasty! A nice frittata, one veggie and one with meat, plus fresh fruit, quite yummy! There were only 4 of us, but they had conversation pits that could easily accommodate 8-12 people. The staff was so friendly and showed us everything. The room was large and well-appointed. We walked down to the only close restaurant and had dinner. The market closes at 8 pm If you need anything . We were there at the end of June 2025. The lake is only 0.3 miles away but we didn't go as we were here for only 1 day. We won't make that mistake again!

Antiquing trip with my daughter. Booked this as it is theoretically near Grass Valley or Nevada City. Not very close to either. Note: NO ELEVATOR OR TELEVISION. We didn’t stay for breakfast but heard it was good. Our key was taped to the front door when we arrived at 3:15pm. Lobby not open. We won’t stay again but a family or a wedding group might enjoy. There is a restaurant nearby but it is open Thursday thru Monday and you are out in the forest with no other restaurant. We arrived on a Tuesday unprepared. We had some snacks so we didn’t suffer. No landline in the room with which to communicate with the front desk. Very different place in a remote area next to Tahoe National Forest. Beware of bears - it is in the forest.

Baby getaway

My wife and I needed a small getaway so we decided on harmony. When we arrived with my 3 month old daughter we were met by the host and her cute dog Milo they were very nice and she gave us the info we needed for our cabin. He loved seeing our baby. We really enjoyed our stay and my daughter loved the tall trees and bird noises we loved taking her around the grounds and had a restful great night. We will be back for Father’s Day hopefully

Mediocre

Pros: Spacious room, dog-friendly, lots of space to walk Cons: Hard to find the check-in desk. The main building smelled of fish upon arrival - assumed the manager had used the kitchen which is right next to the front desk to cook fish. The lady checking us in did not understand how to use Hotels.com and then charged me for the room after I had paid for the booking online. I ended up being double charged (thankfully Hotels.com did refund me). Internet only worked in the main building. When we attempted to ask about internet in the room, we were just told the password again. We clearly explained that there was no connection, no internet service in the hotel room. Nothing would connect - phones nor a laptop. The lady did not believe us and was not helpful in resolving this. The lobby closed at 5pm and we did not get to sit by the fireplace or use the sitting area for the evening. The outer doors of the building slam shut, so anyone coming or going will cause the door to slam, regardless of the time of day. Supposedly a late check in client had arrived (we had not been given any warning that there was someone staying above us), and this person had a little dog. No dogs were to be in the upper floors we were told. This person, whom we believe was a friend or family member of the lady stayed upstairs, allowed her dog to bark for 15-30 minutes and continued to slam the outer door, well after midnight, woke us up. Breakfast was skimpy and food felt rationed. Needs update
