Hotel is right on the river with seating overlooking the river. Located among pine trees with a picturesque view. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We didn't arrive until late at night, they text to inform us on where to find our room key.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was super clean with everything looking very remodeled recently. The grounds are beautiful next to the river, particularly during the sunset. We spent a lot of time by the river snacking, and just looking at the scenery. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the place was quite quiet, even though it’s fairly close to the highway.

Terry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little spot right on Hwy 50. Recently renovated with an incredibly comfy bed and soft sheets. A very convenient place to stop for the night with lovely seating areas by the river. As others have noted, not a lot of food options nearby so plan ahead.

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel has a 10/10 location. The river is really nice and they put canopies and chairs by the water. Hotel is fixed up and very clean. I lost my wallet and the hotel staff found many children to help me look. It was in my bag

I've driven by this property many, many times and never stopped. But what a great spot. Lounging/bbq areas and firepits right on the river. The lodge next door is beautiful and has pool, foosball and a great deck overlooking the river

The area is beautiful and close to South Lake Tahoe. Perfect blend of mountain, river, and still be part of civilization

Pet-friendly: brought our dog, paid the fee. Family-friendly: I guess. Clean room: yep. Staff: minimal, but helpful. Chair brought down to me by the water was awesome.

I loved the stay in this area… very beautiful backyard with river flowing…. Fire pit areas and family picnic tables are really fun hangouts. The flowing river sounds are soothing and amazing…. Loved the place.
