Nickel Plate Cross Country Ski Area Tours and Activities

Friendly Staff, clean, small continental breakfast. Walkable to a few wineries and one restaurant. Very good stay with a lovely view of the lake!

We were greeted by the owner of the property, where we were escorted to the accompanying Sonora Desert Winery to do a tasting! The Inn is a multi-room facility with 5-6 rooms, along with a nice living area, dining room, and full kitchen for the guests use. Our room was nice, fairly new, but a bit Spartan. It included a small living space with a table and two chairs, a full bathroom with a shower, a small closet and bedroom with a queen bed. It’s not a true BnB at this time, but the winemaker, Mark, who stays in the Inn, will provide espresso coffees and a light, cooked breakfast upon request. It’s all very casual. Both evenings in our stay, we sat outside near the vineyards and enjoyed some wine and conversation with Mark and the other guests. We enjoyed our stay there. Teresa and Mark the owners just recently acquired the Inn and the winery, and are still developing the property.

The front desk attendees were wonderful but the rooms need a deep clean and upgrades beyond door locks.
