Beautiful forest setting and facility with a warm and professional reception. It's been a quiet few days before the weekend crowd, so we've had special treatment. Of course, it is a great location just across the Donner Pass Rd from the lake but just far enough to get away from the highway noise of the infrequent traffic. The common room... More

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and it was amazing! The Oesterman's were great company, very accomodating and fantastic cooks. The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. I have special dietary needs and Paul had restaurant menus to look at, even going as far as calling the restaurants to see if I...

We stayed at the Inn with my small daughter during the holiday period between Christmas and NY. The place is really nice, Mary and Tino are very warm people and the inn itself is clean, tidy and cozy. Will stay there every time i plan ski vacation in the area

I stayed here with my wife and four children a couple days before Christmas. My children particularly enjoyed the family room, which was festively decorated. While there was no snow, the kids were able to stay entertained with the countless DVDs and board games provided. My family also enjoyed the homemade breakfast that Mary, the hostess, prepared. The hosts were... More
