Cute inn next to the river with campfire and BBQ pits for guests to use. Great location for access to Sierra-at-Tahoe. The only downside is the noise from upstairs if you happen to get a room on the first floor.

We have stayed here multiple times. The grounds are well kept & updated. Very clean. Located next to the river. Across the driveway is the Bunny Slope where there are the most delicious pastries & coffees. The cappuccino is consistently the best I’ve ever had.

The property is nice and clean with beautiful view of the river. However, the heater didn't seem to work at night in freezing weather. We were very cold all night long. That ruined an other wise nice property.
