Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly. The dining experience offered delicious options, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. However, there were some issues with the price and the facilities provided.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms offered us a lot of privacy and were quite large with attractive furnishings, including a claw foot tub and a comfortable king bed. The staff did their best to make us feel at home and provided repellent spray when needed. The location, away from Clear Lake in the town of Upper Lake, was beautiful and well-kept. The dining options were varied and presented nicely, with house-baked treats and fresh vegetables. Overall, a great value for a peaceful stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room, located in one of the outbuildings adjacent to the main hotel, was cozy and private, with a charming hidden refrigerator and TV. The service made me feel right at home, like staying with family. The location, beautifully maintained, offered a peaceful retreat despite some noise. The dining experience, while associated with the hotel, lacked variety. The facilities were adequate, though nothing stood out.
Staying in one of the outbuildings adjacent to the main hotel was a unique and perfect experience for both me and my husband after a long working day.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, featuring a private balcony with a lovely garden view. The service made me feel like part of the family, and the location was beautiful and well-maintained. The dining experience was enjoyable with varied options, but breakfast could be served earlier. Overall, a great time with welcoming staff in a slightly off-tourist path setting.
Our stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, offering a veranda with a Japanese soaking tub and an outdoor shower, in addition to an indoor shower, providing a perfect retreat for me and my husband. The service was exceptional, making us feel like part of a warm family, and the location, tucked away in the charming town of Upper Lake, north of Napa and Sonoma, was peaceful and beautiful. The dining experience, with a variety of homemade breakfast options, was a highlight, though I wished it lasted a bit longer. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway.
