Stayed in this hotel during a recent ski trip to Kirkwood. There is no onsite hotel reception. Received an email late afternoon on the day of checking-in with instructions to enter the room and the area doesn’t have cell connection. We found only one open restaurant (opposite the hotel) in the town which claimed to be fully booked at 6:30 PM and refused to give takeout as well. Had to drive 30 minutes to Minden for dinner. Room was small, but clean with no coffee maker. Overall, terrible experience, will avoid staying in this area in future.

Stayed here for a night in Jan after Skiing in Kirkwood. This place is much closer compared to Minden or Pioneer. Lovely property. The rooms were super clean, towels etc were well stocked, bed is comfortable. This was my first time in this property or town. Owner called ahead of time to inform us of the room we were going to get and also helped make a reservation in the restaurant across the street. Will defn come here again.

Nice, enjoyable weekend

Stayed here after going to grover hot springs. It's a small place, but it's very clean and well maintained. Everything was good. It's not a luxury hotel, but we enjoyed our stay. The person working there was very nice and friendly, and the location is perfect. Make restaurant reservations, there's only one place in town!

Nice room. Comfortable bed and good heating which was appreciated on a cool evening. We didn't find the vending room with coffee, microwave etc when we arrived, only when the owner mentioned we could get a coffee the next morning. As it's out of season and early in the week everything in the town was closed so had to drive to a larger town to get dinner.
