When I booked this place, it was advertised as 2 rooms instead of 2 beds. The windows were dirty, the smell was horrible. I had to sleep with the windows open all night.

I wanted to love this site because we were in Lake Tahoe, everything is so natural and woodsy and outdoorsy but this hotel was mediocre at best. Things I liked: -Front desk lady was so sweet and kind. -Huge Trees outside my door -Tether ball post -Benching to eat outside -Parking easy -Extra towels upon request -Netflix, Cable -Cubbie with plates and cups - Saw two bears by the trash at night! Didn't like so much: -Strong, pungent, musty smell -Beds 2 different sizes and heights -Dusty floor and dirty walls -Stove that didn't work -Mini fridge, Keurig, microwave and plug in stove all on one multi-outlet -Wall outlets in kitchen and bathroom didn't work minus one -Light fixture two different tones -Shower head only has one direction which is straight to your face or to the wall aside your face. Very tight space and glass door getting jammed a couple times. -Pool was empty -Walls are paper thin -No AC or fan I paid like $480 or so for two nights and for the stay itself I wouldn't say it's worth it. But for the time frame that I needed the room it did the bare minimum which was roof and warmth.

Staff very friendly, and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed. A quaint little place, ideal stay if going only for a few nights. They have a fire pit, need to bring your own wood, no ice machine, also need to bring your own ice.. A non functioning empty pool. So if you have kiddos who want to swim in a pool, that wont happen. Overall it was a quiet stay for 2 nights, we enjoyed it.

Great suite room with small little kitchen. I gave it four stars because one light and whole plug area by bed did not work, and also I wish they a long mirror in the room. otherwise it was very comfortable and cute little place.
