Hospitality is #1

This place was awesome! The view, nature around you, secluded from the business of Lake Tahoe, cleanliness of the rooms and loved their outdoor tables and seating area. The host Han is amazing and his hospitality is beyond what I have ever experienced when staying at an Inn, hotel or motel. I highly recommend staying here and I would definitely come back!

Noisy weird place

Room was clean but rundown: there was a hole in the middle of the floor - the whole large area was carpeted but it was like a tile 3 in deep was missing in one spot) - the weirdest thing. Ceiling light wasn’t working, we were told to use night stand lamp instead :> some neighbors decided to play techno music at 10 pm, the walls are paper thin; the proprietor didn’t do anything to stop it; luckily it stopped before 11 but the fact the front desk was non-cooperating will not make us come back. Bad management overall!
