Station House Inn is such a gem! They welcome you with smiles, a glass of wine or a can of beer, provide you with great local recommendations, and a cozy area to hang out. The room just makes complete sense. Lots of space to hang all of your winter gear, a full length mirror, comfortable bed, plenty of charging ports, and personalized scented shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion by STI! Lastly, it was such close walking distance to Heavenly gondola and the bus drop off/pick up. Loved this place and will recommend to anyone who prefers local accommodations vs huge hotels.

We had a wonderful stay. At first we were like its a little outdated, but once inside, it was really nice. I had a good sleep on a very comfortable bed and the pillows. Oh the pillows! I even told my partner, i wish i looked at the brand of those pillows, coz its hella comfortable. The entire room is so nice and cozy, decorated with nice and very interesting furniture. I think the one impress us the most is the front desk, Stacy at the desk is just above and beyond. She is such a sweetheart. She made our stay wonderful. In addition, not to mention they have good breakfast in the morning. :)

Incredibly convenient. Two blocks in one directions you’re walking on the beach around the lake. Two blocks the other way and you’re on Lake Tahoe Bl, near shops, restaurants and casinos. Room was fine. Breakfast meh but right next door to Toulouse Restaurant with wonderful breakfast most days and happy hour daily. Would stay again.

The room had everything we needed and staff was excellent. The only downside was being on the second floor, which meant carrying our luggages up the stairs. The property doesn’t have elevators, though it only goes up to two floors. If you have heavy bags, I recommend booking a room on the lower level.
