Excellent place to stay. We will be back! Superb location, super quiet, sufficient parking for one regular sized vehicle, and along a creek! Rooms were quaint. In our particular room carpet could be a little cleaner but no big deal. Grab and go breakfast set up was perfect for us and delicious. Thanks for a great stay!

If your are going to the soda springs ski resort it is very close. Less than maybe 10 minutes drive but the best is that it’s so close to Donner lake and the beach there. We will definitely go there summer time to appreciate the summer activities by the lake. I have 3 kids and they lived the 3 layer bunk bed. It was perfect for us
