We enjoyed our stay. We traveled from SF with 2 small kids under 3 and had some time in the snow. It was a 15 min distance from soda spring Borreal which was amazing since the traveling from the city can be exhausting. The property looked decent with its attached Rustic Diner. The Rustic Turkey sandwich was really good my kids loved it. The front desk was very easy, friendly and small talk. The employees were attentive. We didn’t want to go to Reno or pay so much money for 1 night. This was a very lucky place we were able to stay. Auburn is 30 mins away which made it super convenient if needing anything. As we left this morning we had forgotten our headphones and they called us to inform us we left them. They were able to mail it back but just the consideration of them calling us was very kind. So if you want a place to stay for snow or just being in the area definitely a place I would recommend. The building seemed a little old so there are some minor things that the property needs for updates in the room but wouldn’t give it any less.

Not perfect but worth it

Traveling with my family of 4 and arrived on a Tuesday @ 8:30p. Check in was pleasant but our room with 2 queen beds was not made. The guys at the front desk apologized and addressed it, while my boys played in the snow outside a bit, marveled at the boar’s head, and attempted to convince me to buy candy from the small store area next to the checkin counter. Room was made in ~25min and they offered a couple breakfast vouchers which was a nice gesture. The room smelled strong of air freshener, bed was comfortable, overall a quiet overnight stay. At some point of the stay my husband made the observation “this place is run by dudes.” Turns out it is a Christian-based men’s rehabilitation program. We used our breakfast vouchers early next morning for to go items. Was it a perfect stay? No. Would we stay there again? Absolutely yes would support these men.

Perfectly nice for what it is

I needed a place to crash after a ski day. This is essentially a motel. It's not at all fancy but the beds are clean and comfortable, the small shower was hot and had good pressure and the attached restaurant makes a very good burger and milkshake (and breakfast). One warning - no liquor license. If you are looking for a quaint mountain retreat this is not the place. If you are looking for a comfortable base while skiing or exploring this places is solid.
