In my 40 years of traveling, I have never received a warmer, more sincere welcome at a hotel. From the first moment of check-in through dropping of my keys on the way out, the owners and staff made me feel like a VIP at every interaction. The dedication and passion toward offering guests the best possible experience could not have been more evident. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the location offered a serene get away that allowed us both to find both relaxation and entertainment with the natural surroundings enhanced by carefully curated amenities like riverside seating, outdoor barbecues, and a communal fire pit that made use feel at home. I can't wait to come back to and both enjoy the amazing place these owners have created and see what new developments have been made as they continue to enhance and improve the property while maintaining the contextual respect for the location's natural beauty.

Beautifully renovated location that is better in person than the photos. Conveniently located 15ish minutes from south lake tahoe. Enjoying eating breakfast on the property overlooking the river and sharing a campfire with other residents. *eating was not convenient and wish we would have known this before our long drive. There is an amazing cafe (highly recommend but only open Sundays) for light breakfast options next door and a korean one man show type restaurant about 1 mile away next to a gas station/convenience store. The wait was long but worth it. Portions were big and can be shared. For long term stays plan accordingly. It was good for our single night stay. Will definitely stay here again!

The room was in good shape and clean. The A/C and WiFi worked. The motel is squeezed beween Route 50 and the river. There is no food service and no public spaces. The price is fair.

Peaceful and clean!
It’s a small property but full of charm. The rooms were squeaky clean and we loved the bedding, the water pressure in the shower was excellent! You are right next to the river, which is amazing! We sat at one of the picnic tables, set up our dog’s long leash, and had a quiet and relaxing dinner. A must stay! And the drive there is stunning as well.
