We love this place. It's not fancy, don't expect amazing amenities. But it is very clean and quiet here, and so convenient! Gardnerville has slowly become one of our favorite places to hang out. There are GOOD people here and the vibe is so comfortable. Right across the street from JT Basque - don't miss out on that!

Very nice stay. No complaints. Basic room but clean, spacious and had all the basics. Very accommodating to bring dogs. As dog travelers know there’s an additional $40/ per dog fee on check in. There’s a great park right across the street for easy dog potty runs.

This is a no-frills rustic hotel that does not offer a lot as far as amazing amenities, but the staff is always amazing, the rooms are clean and fairly quiet and the location is fantastic as it is right on main street in Gardnerville, and next to Heritage Park. The rooms have air conditioning and basic necessities, and there is coffee every morning in the lobby. parking is easy. We stay here regularly and will be back.
