Station House Inn South Lake Tahoe

The pictures on the website are very misleading. The room we had was very dark and gloomy. We registered for 3 guests and were only give towels for 2 so we had to ask for more. The shower drain was clogged, but they did fix it after we asked. The room smelled like wet dog including the throw blankets at the foot of each bed. The staff were nice, but seemed to be a little annoyed when we had to ask for things. The only thing that saved the visit was the pool. It was nice, clean and heated. We enjoyed it in the afternoons. They do provide towels for the pool, but you have to sign them out which is a little strange. They do offer a smores kit, but they repeat multiple times, for one night only. Kind of hard to explain that to kids. Why not every night we stayed? Overall, it is over priced for what they offer. Would not stay there again.

Station House is a great choice if you’re looking for easy access to the lake, a private hotel setting (its located in neighborhoods, so great for dog walks and strolling around), and short walks to tons of what Tahoe has to offer. We loved the lobby, so warm and welcoming. We visited during off season so it was nice and quiet. Parking was great too!

Unreliable and Unprofessional. Canceled on me last minute I booked this hotel months in advance through Expedia, and just 24 hours before check-in, they canceled my reservation without warning. I was at Disneyland when I got the call. Imagine the stress of realizing I wouldn’t have a place to stay after a 9 hour drive the next day. To make things worse, I was traveling with my aunt, who has Polio, and needed a room with two queen beds for accessibility and comfort. Because of the last-minute cancellation, I couldn’t find a comparable room and had to scramble to book another hotel, which ended up costing me $500 more. This level of unreliability is completely unacceptable, especially when people plan and book ahead for peace of mind. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values professionalism and dependability

Stayed here for 3 nights on 4th of july weekend. PROS: Location, Rooms were clean, had a mini fridge, AC worked well, they provided vouchers to Lakeside Beach, plenty of parking, rooms were quiet and felt safe, good location walking distance to beach and shops/Heavenly gondola area. CONS: no microwave, beds sunken in and hurt my back. I don't know how they advertise breakfast. All they had was instant oatmeal packets and a few dry cereal boxes. There was literally nothing else to eat. Luckily a Starbucks was within walking distance because the on-site restaurant was pricey! We never used the pool. It looked small but nice and lots of people were swimming.

If I could rate this hotel 0 stars I would. Showed up for my stay and they didn't have a room for me. Told me they were already overbooked by two rooms for the day. So this hotel overbooks hotel rooms for customers knowing they won't have a room for them when they show up. The lady at the front desk was rude and told me it wasent her problem because I booked through a credit card. She also ignored me fixing her wine bottles, when I was attempting to troubleshoot with her what could be done to fix the problem. Basically saying they got a new system and it dosent work with my card company so "nothing they'can do" with no apologies what so ever. Called he manager in front of me and again said oh well not our problem. In the meantime they were giving rooms to other customers who were returning to the counter to say that they walked into someone else's room with all of their belongings. I wouldn't trust this hotel. Seems to me that they are not honest and don't care about customer service (at least not the lady working the counter)

Great location and Great Rate. Stayed for 1 night only. Very Comfortable Bed and pillows. Nice and clean basic room with the necessities needed. Plus we received a complimentary glass of wine on check in. Overall great stay and we would stay again in the future.

Please know that there is an “experience” fee. $26$ daily for breakfast, parking, and wifi ~ whether you use them or not. I did park near my room. Breakfast was off site and didn’t use the wifi as I only slept there. The staff was pleasant and the room was adequate.

Location was a perfect around 5 minute walk to the heavenly village. Rooms were clean and I loved the decor in the rooms. We were able to get our welcome drink a day after our arrival and enjoy them by the fire in the lobby. The lobby had board games to play and some brochures with discounts to locals businesses. Would definitely stay here again during sun or snow seasons.

A Perfect Family-Friendly Getaway Our stay at Station House Inn in Lake Tahoe was good! We were in town for a hockey tournament, and our club essentially booked out the entire hotel, making it feel like our own little home away from home. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with a welcome drink (wine or beer). One of the highlights of our trip was how family-friendly the hotel is. The kids had a blast with all the activities provided. On Friday, they hosted movie night, complete with popcorn -- a perfect way to wind down after a busy day of games. The kids also enjoyed the selection of board games available for use, and there was never a dull moment as everyone came together for some friendly competition. But what really stood out to us were the marshmallow kits they provided. The whole family got involved in making s'mores by the fire pit, creating a fun and festive atmosphere that really brought us all together. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere at Station House Inn made it the perfect place for our hockey team to unwind and bond after a busy day. Whether you're in Lake Tahoe for a tournament, vacation, or just a weekend getaway, this hotel is a wonderful option for families seeking a welcoming, fun-filled experience. Highly recommend! P.S. I gave it 4 stars because hotel is a little outdated but they keep it clean and nice. There is some charm to it. We also loved the restaurant on the property which was very good which you usually don't expect that from a hotel restaurant but Toulouse is an exception.

We really enjoyed our stay at Station house inn. The highlight of our stay was the heated pool! It was not very busy so we had the pool & hot tub to ourselves most of the time. The grounds are very clean and the facility is pet friendly. Upon check in, they offer a complimentary adult beverage. There are fire pits and s'mores kits available to purchase at the desk. The rec room is very cozy! With a large fireplace, Tv and games. Our room was pretty small, and the walls are pretty thin...but we still enjoyed the camping theme decor and comfortable bed. Overall, we were happy to stay and have a nice get away with our fur baby!

This if for the ones looking for a DOG FRIENDLY spot in South Lake Tahoe! Came here on a Tuesday and thankfully, it was not as busy as I expected- which was a great thing for us to be honest. Our room was right by the Main Lodge, in front of the pool, restaurant and a fire pit. We were roomed on the first floor which was perf for out pups! The fur baby fee is $75 a fur baby per reservation. The Main Lodge is also dog friendly. So they are welcome to join you inside to relax while you sip on a wine or beer during their happy hour during the week. Yup, they have a HAPPY HOUR! FREE for guests, but I'm not sure how many glasses you're allowed? Yelp Elite Dario O. and I only had one glass each. We opted for a glass of Cab. The rooms are simple and exactly what you expect when in Tahoe and looking for that cozy/ cabin vibe. Our room had a mini fridge, spot to hang up your clothes, bags, etc. and our most fave? The heating lamp inside the bathroom!!! A lot of space in the room for your pups to play/ roam around. The beds were nice and comfy esp after a fun day in the snow. Station House Inn's Main Lodge also has FREE tea, hot chocolate, granola bars all day. They also offer a s'mores kit which I am not so sure if there is a charge or not. I saw on Instagram that it's free? But I also saw a price for it? So just ask if you're interested. The restaurant on the property serves cajun style food. Breakfast is offered only on weekends. Station House Inn is close to The Shops and Heavenly Village and not too far from other popular ski resorts / spots for some snow play! I for sure see myself coming back here with or without my fur babies!

PROS: + Very friendly staff upon check-in. You also get a welcome drink (beer or wine)! + Pet friendly + Rooms felt homey and clean. + I love that there is natural water we were able to drink. + The restaurant on site (Toulouse) is amazing! + Great location. Very close to the Heavenly Gondola area... you can walk there! + You get discounted price to access the beach. + There is a mini fridge in each room. CONS: - Our room was so small. It barely fit our two suitcases!

This hotel is disgusting and expensive. There is no housekeeping. The website is extremely misleading, the pictures look nice on the website but look nothing like the rooms or the actual location. This hotel is outdated and old. Parking was an issue, the room was dirty (the carpet was stained, see pictures) and the room was tiny. The soap/shampoo dispenser was broken in the shower. There was no breakfast and the location was just okay. The location is within walking distance of Lakeside Beach but you have to pay $30 an adult ($10 after 5:00 pm) if you want to go to this private beach. I would do your research and look elsewhere since there are a bunch of different hotels around this area that are much cheaper.

I've been here 3 times. Each time, the room had black mold and the room smells so gross, as if the window has never been open. The tv is useless. Half the channels don't work and the remote only works when it decides to work. I think this could easily be fixed with some grout cleaner, steam mop, open the windows after each guest, upgrading the tvs, and getting better shower heads. The good things are that the staff is nice, it looks good, the lobby is super cozy, and it feels safe.

Hotel is super cute and cozy!!! The location is perfect and close by the private beach. However the girls at the front desk are really rude. They don't say hello when you walk in or try to make conversation. They're always on their phones and speaking amongst each other.

Good: - Near to Heavenly Gondola, casinos, beach - Friendly staff - Happy Hour with free wines & beers - Nice cozy lobby with games, coffees, teas etc Bad: - No housekeeping or daily room cleaning - Dated room setup with old hardware, light fixtures - Downstairs rooms are prone to noise from anyone walking upstairs Overall we will only re-visit this place if they start offering room cleaning else it is not really something we can do again

SUCH a cute place! I was attending a conference nearby and found this place from word of mouth. I love hotels as much as the next person, but this place is super cozy and cute. Upon checkin, you get a nice beverage--they have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so I got the latter and picked a sparkling lemonade. It was HOT that day so this definitely hit the spot! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, and the area is really cute with swing chairs and fire pits. They also have a restaurant near the pool, which is absolutely stellar. Highly recommend this place if you happen to be in the area!

What a great find this place was! Tucked away just a few blocks behind Harvey's, easily walkable to everything and so charming. Joe, the owner is so friendly, the restaurant is great and we really enjoyed the happy hour as well as hanging out by the fire pit at night. Can't wait to return soon!

The location is great, but there was nothing too impressive about our stay. In fact, it was met with a few disappointments. 1. We booked directly through the hotel to get beach access passes. Be warned, you are given only one pass per room which is good for only one person. You have to pay for passes for everyone else. 2. I contacted them about our TV that didn't work properly and received a pretty poor customer service response.

OMG. This place is a rare gem in south lake motels, walkable to the casinos & shopping! There is not one thing I would change about it- including the price! Stacy at the front desk was such a doll describing the property and amenities to us, and telling us which way to walk for what. Then we got to our room and we're blown away! I mean we paid (for a weekend stay) barely over $100/night for this "cozy king" through Hotel Tonight and boy were we pleasantly surprised! The room was small but completely updated and efficient with using its space! Great bathroom, including water pressure, the tap water comes from the property's own well and is GOOD. The best part.. this king bed was fantastically comfortable! Soft and down pillows.. really felt like we were at a luxury hotel. Loved every part of this stay!

CHECK & SERVICE Lightning fast service & no issues checking in early. Uncovered self-parking available onsite. ROOM Cozy room with high cleaning standards & cleverly themed furnishings. The color scheme felt warm & inviting. We really loved the uniqueness of each item in the room & the intentional design, like the wood paneling on the ceiling. Cons: Not spacious enough for 2. BATHROOM Very clean but a lot of room for functional improvement: * The sink drained incredibly slow (likely clogged & in need of maintenance). * Standard Toto toilet but very weak flushing. * The split bathroom is too small for the Incandescent lightbulbs -- they produce an overwhelming amount of heat. * Towels are on the smaller side BED We slept in a single king room. The mattress was firm & comfortable but the headboard-back-rest-cushion(?) is an awkward design. Visually it's intriguing & I see it working well for back support while sitting up right, but when trying to sleep it's inconvenient. Linens were clean & fresh. WIFI & CELL RECEPTION Good cell reception & I was very impressed with the WiFi. --Nerd Stats-- 78-94 Mbps download 69-70 Mbps upload VERDICT Great theme execution & pricepoint but it wasn't functional enough for us so we left a day early. It's an adequate pitstop/pullover hotel in a pinch. 3/5

This trip to Lake Tahoe was going to be my first in many years and my very first stay during the summer. Truly, I haven't stayed in the area since I was a kid. It was a trip with just my husband, our Pomeranian, and me. I did a ton of research on multiple travel portals and review sites. All signs pointed to South Lake Tahoe. There were more dog friendly hotels and eateries in this area than any other area around Lake Tahoe. I read that Station House Inn was previously a Best Western Hotel and was purchased by the smaller Oliver hotel chain in 2019. I think it was renovated during the early part of the pandemic. You can tell from the older photos (pre 2020) that things look outdated. I'm happy to say that the photos of the newly renovated property (on its website, on Yelp, on other travel sites) look exactly the same in person. Upon arrival, we missed the area of the parking lot where you'd enter to check-in. If you are not familiar with the area, take a peek at a map. If you are coming from Park Avenue, you will see the Station House Inn sign on a corner. Take the road that veers right (Pine Blvd). The entrance is immediately on the left side behind the sign. The lobby is adorable and welcoming. There is plenty of seating. They have books, magazines, board games, and can I say that I loved the music they played through the speakers (inside and out)? There is a tap that carries their well water (delicious). You are welcome to fill your water bottles. They also have s'mores kits for purchase as well as other snacks. We had our 7 lb Pomeranian with us. We had room 115 (Roomy King). It was a good size. It included a large chair to relax on, an ottoman to put your feet up, a desk, an area to hang your clothes, a dresser, a small safe, and a bunch of hooks along the wall that we put to good use. The toiletries were full size, which I really liked. The bed, in my opinion, was comfortable. Our room location was perfect -- close proximity to the lobby, the outdoor fun area, and pool, but not so close that we'd hear chatter. Outdoor fun area, I say? Yes. There are comfy Adirondack chairs around the three fire pits (one of them being at the front of the hotel). There are a couple of picnic-style tables, two swing chairs, a loungey couch where you can play giant Jenga, and cornhole! We didn't spend a ton of time at the pool area, but it is fine. You can reserve a cabana on the hotel website. There is no hot tub, which is a bummer. I don't care much for them, but my hub was hoping there would be one to relax his sore back and knees. We stayed for three nights. Each of those nights, we sat at the large firepit for a while to relax. The first night was a Sunday night. We sat out there with three other couples (one with a baby), enjoyed some good chats and laughs, and had some refreshments. The other two nights (Monday and Tuesday) were quieter by the fire. We did some s'mores too. Toulouse is the restaurant that is on the same property as the hotel. (See my review for them.) It was great to have this option on site, as some other hotels in the area don't have that amenity. Note that while they do offer takeout and delivery to your hotel room (which we did not use), they are a completely separate business. One of the drawbacks for me is that both the hotel lobby (which offers free coffee) and the restaurant do not open until 8am. As an early riser, 8am is pretty late for me. At around 7am when I was out walking my dog, one lady came back to the outdoor area with Starbucks (it's a few blocks away). Another lady was walking in the direction of the lobby thinking it was open so she can get coffee. Upon discovering it was still closed, she let out a pronounced, "oh noooooo!" Other than that, we had a comfortable stay. The staff was so attentive to our pup and even remembered his name every time we came into the lobby or when we saw them outside. It truly made us feel special.

Excellent property ... conveniently located, really nice rooms, communal hot tub and most importantly a really wonderful night clerk who really understands customer service. She went out of her way to welcome us to the property, provide restaurant suggestions and even gave us a courtesy room upgrade. There was only one minor housekeeping issue as the shower drain was completely clogged. However, the morning front desk woman was ambivalent when I mentioned the clogged drain and could really care less as I was interrupting her social media time. I highly recommend this property, it was really amazing.

I have zero complaints about our stay here! After a less than stellar stay at a South Lake Tahoe hotel we used to like earlier this year, we were looking to try a new place and decided upon station house due to its good reviews. The reviews were spot on! Location is prime and heavenly shopping is a quick walk away. You are close to the lake and beach and quite honestly everything you need. We ate breakfast at their restaurant twice! It was delicious and honestly deserves a separate review. Rooms were clean and spacious enough for our family of four and dog. Rooms have a mini fridge, safe, coffee maker, and tons of hangers and hooks. The shower is complete with all the essentials!--Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The lobby is adorable complete with snacks, drinks, a bar, fireplace, and lots of games! It was a nice break from our room and a nice place where our whole family could hang out together and lounge for a little while. I found the staff very friendly. One individual even noticed we had small kids, while in the lobby, and put a cartoon on Disney plus for them to watch. They have a coffee station set up in the lobby in the mornings. Hot tea and hot chocolate, along with freshly popped pop corn all day. And snacks and drinks for purchase. This hotel made our family trip more than comfortable! I wish we had more pictures of the hotel itself but I encourage anyone looking to stay in the area to stay here for yourselves! You will not be disappointed!

Super cute place to stay in South Lake Tahoe. Charming decor, friendly staff, free happy hour, fire pits, swings, room service and fantastic location. This place is close to the beach and restaurants/stores. Found out about this place on Groupon. Would love to come back this summer to take advantage of the free beach passes!

We were really excited to stay here but that went away quickly. We chose this place because it seemed the best out of the surrounding hotels with good incentives. There's a reason why people chose one hotel over another. This place seemed great with what they offered which is why we chose it. We booked in August directly from their site. Upon check in, I asked about the free beach passes we get and if we could get them. The girl said to just come back before heading there. (Not sure why she couldn't just give them to us instead of having us come back) The next day I asked the guy at the front desk for the passes, he said they didn't have any so we ended up having to pay at the beach. (They did reimburse) but they should be stocked with them instead of having people pay out of pocket. Then I asked about the free cabana/cooler you get if booking directly thru the site during august. He didn't know what I was talking about. I showed him pictures I had taken from their website, I also had pics from IG because I had a feeling they were going to say it wasn't valid. Sure enough, he said he could text his manager and the manger said we couldn't get it. Apparently there's a promo code. The weird thing is, there's no promo code on any of their advertisements and the guy couldn't even tell me what it was. Plus, when booking directly, it automatically adds a promo code, so you're assuming everything's included when you book. I told myself I wouldn't get upset during my vaca so I just let it go. But that was definitely false advertisement! Then I asked if we could have a s'mores kit since they advertise it a lot, but of course they have none. The guy said maybe there will be some IF the manager decides to go to the store. I thought they were free too since it said "pick a kit up at check in" But it's $5. Idk why, since I saw in their little shop, that they also sell pre packaged s'more kits. We actually ended up purchasing a kit from basecamp hotel where we ended up hanging out more. The hot tub was closed, which was stated on their site but on our last night it was opened, and it's actually the manager with his lady friend hanging out at the jacuzzi. which is fine of course, it's his hotel but it was just funny to have all these issues and just see the manager having a better experience than you. Lol Wish he could have tried to give his guests a better experience especially when you have nothing to lose, if anything you're gaining a good review of hospitality. Then, there's a truck with a trailer in the back blocking half the parking lot. So we had to park away from our room, with our baby, instead of being able to park in front and unload our stuff. We said something and of course nothing was done. Regarding the actual room, it was cozy, but dirty. My towel had a dirty long piece of tape on it. The shampoo and conditioner were terrible. Felt like I was putting nothing on. And the room itself was too dark. Barely any lighting. Also, for their happy hour, the pictures show lots of drinks. When we got there, they had 4 options, all alcoholic, so I couldn't get anything, I just got two for my partner instead. So pretty much they offer free beach access if they have any, couple of drinks and a granola bar. I really wanted to like this place. It's a couple of blocks away from the beach. They could have already been been stocked with things they advertise. I feel like I could have been fine with all of this but the customer service really ruined it. They could have been friendlier and resolved these issues easily to give the best guest experience.

I just wanted to find a little 1 night room since we were passing thru and decided to stay in south lake. This place was so much nicer then was "advertised". We loved it! Station House Inn South Lake Tahoe is clean and so cute. There was a pool jacuzzi with great music playing. The fire pits were so cozy, swing chairs and even had corn hole.

Fantastic rooms. Great location close to the lake. Easy walk. Close to heavenly and Harrah's. Rooms are clean and updated. There is a happy hour from 4-6 with free beer and wine. Nice fire pits and stuff for s'mores. There is also a Cajun restaurant on site that is good. It's a nice place. Check it out!

This hotel was MARVELOUS! My friends and I all LOVED the vibe here, and it felt very home-y. The rooms were exactly as expected, and the amenities (fire pit, swings, cornhole, etc) were so fun! The location also can't be beat, walking distance to a beach with watersport rentals, and walking distance to everything in Stateline. Can't recommend this place enough!

Ok first off, the water from your sink is drinkable and delicious!! I love the old school ish vibes the room had. The only thing that freaked me out was that the light in the restroom turned on in the middle of the night when I was almost falling asleep. I opened my eyes and saw the light on!! Turns out it was motion sensored..... but nobody got up to use the restroom. FREAKED ME OUT. I did my best to close my eyes and not turn that way because I couldn't fall asleep easily after that! It's in an area that is close to a great brewery. I'll have to look for the name and update my review. Mornings are so nice and crisp (went in December). I'd definitely recommend it! We didn't use the pool, jacuzzi, or outdoor fire pit. All looked nice though.

Super comfortable and cute hotel. We felt very welcomed & loved the complimentary drinks upon checkin. Everything was perfect but we had issues on our third & fourth day. We extended our stay, and on our third day at 9 AM, there was banging on our door asking us if we were checking out - when we told him we extended out stay he said "oh nobody told me" Our final day, 30 min before checkout the same thing happened. When we didn't open the door within a few seconds, loud banging again. It was housekeeping, again asking "are you checking out?" We mentioned checked was at 11 AM and she just said "ok" and walked away This hotel was great but having to deal with the pounding on our door from staff two different times was frustrating

South Lake first timers, chose Station House Inn based on reviews, location and amenities posted on their site. Pros: Keurig coffee bar, tea and hot water at the ready in the lobby. Crisp clean artesian drinking water readily available from the room tap - excellent to be able to refill at any time. Reliable heat in the room, great to have in the dead of winter. Blackout curtains to help recover from late nights. Good proximity to local attractions. Love also that they have enabled a text messaging option to communicate throughout the stay (even though responses are mostly lacking). Cons: Communicated issues with our room on check in but no remedy or correction offered by staff (broken items in room, stained sheets with holes in them). Included amenities did not match what was stated on the site, some are common sense (like the 'heated pool open 8am-10pm' being closed during January), and some are deceptive. Deceptive statements include the 'welcome beverage' (not offered), s'mores kits (sticks and marshmallows included, chocolate and graham crackers are a $5 charge), snowman kit (not offered), etc. Incidental: This is a pet friendly facility, which is sweet as we are dog lovers (we did not bring ours on this trip), but what this meant for us was that when the guests next door left early in the morning for their days their dogs would panic and bark non stop for hours. Pair this with our room phones ringing by surprise at 3:45am and you get a deeply unrelaxing time. It's a cute place, but for the price we paid we had different expectations. Waiting to hear back from management & will update at that time.

I was confirmed at 200.00 per night. My rate was upcharged because of a wedding. I've never seen such a change in a venue. It reminded me of Motel style stay. Resort NOT.

Just down a quiet side street, and about a block from Heavenly Village is this little inn. It feels hidden away from the busy areas, but still impossibly close. The best pizza in Tahoe and a barbeque place are just a 5 minute walk across the street. Quiet, cozy, and extra warm rooms with a comped beverage at check-in. They have full size apothecary style toiletries which is a simple but appreciated touch. Unless you need the services of a huge resort, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The front desk was very pleasant and efficient. I did not have much need for further interaction. The room had a lot of storage for it's smaller size. I imagine that's useful for people with gear, but because of the storage racks - and most useful for me, the television was mounted close to the ceiling and slightly tilted, which is something I wish I encountered more often.

It was easy to find! Went inside to check in and everything was a breeze! Got the option of complimentary beer, soda or juice. Since I'm not a beer and soda drinker I got juice. The interior of the lobby had a nice contemporary rustic feel. I got a room with a king size bed for my partner and our dog. I was expecting the room to be a bit bigger but it's ok. The room was still a good size and I liked the decor. They don't do room service during Covid but you can call the lobby for extra towels or anything you needed. The hotel was close to everything we needed and it was great! I'd definitely stay here again.

Booked through Hotwire and were lucky we got this place. It was clean, comfortable a d conveniently located near Base Camp. The staff was friendly but was somewhat distracted with other tasks so it didn't feel like we had their full attention (He was ready to get off work and as soon as his relief showed up he stopped helping us and said, "she'll help you." I didn't mind it too much as I understand that when it's time to get off work, it's time to get off work. The price through Hotwire was one of the lowest around so it was double bonus! My only concern was parking seemed to fill up quickly so you may have to park around the corner from your unit. Overall a great place so we'll stay here again.

We usually stay on the north side of the lake. When we come to South Lake we will make it a point to stay at this inn. What a great find. Adorable rooms. Clean and nicely done. Heated pool. Fire pit hang out area complete with corn hole setups. Walking distance from countless needs. Lakeside beach within a 5 min walk as well. Happy Hour in the main lodge every afternoon on our visit. Free adult beverages. Truckee Blonde Ale is delicious. Staff is amazing. Friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Booked this Inn for our short stay in South Lake Tahoe. I booked through Hotels.com. The check-in process was seamless and they also gave a complimentary alcoholic (egg nog) or non-alcoholic drink during check-in. We chose the Roomy King option and the room was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking space. Their lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas creating a cozy atmosphere. They had a few books and games in the lobby for lounging by the fireplace. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend this Inn to anyone visiting the South Lake Tahoe area. I also like the proximity of this Inn to some of the key attractions near South Lake Tahoe

Man, times change when you are getting old. Back in the day, we spent my 21st birthday in Tahoe and this place was not what it is today. If I remember correctly, we stayed around the corner from here at a dive motel and loved it! But, that was when I was young, dumb, and full of com... completely ridiculous thoughts and stuff. Fast forward to present day and this place is fire! Fire, like Rihanna in stockings and pointy toe see through clear heels (which I hate, but y'all love for some unknown reasons) and fancy sunglasses. They have done a ton of renovations, and it shows. It has a very cool retro feel to it and the decor was very clearly handled with significant care and detail. They gave it a very Tahoe vibe and it shows. Super chill and very cool stuff. Check-in took a bit longer than I wanted, but again, I was not on Tahoe time yet. I had just been in the car from Utah to Tahoe, with 2 yellow lab siblings and we were spent! So, I was not the most patient customer. I was agitated because some guest was playing a game of 21 questions, all of which could be answered by Yelp, Google, Yahoo!, and any other version of this thang we call the interwebs! ugh, not the staff's fault at all, just man oh man. Get with it y'all!! Anyway, I was able to get checked in and made it to the room. I booked one of the suites and it was lovely. Very cozy, nice and clean, fridge was empty and clean, the bathroom has a super cool heat lamp, which I suppose is more welcoming in the cold winter months after hitting the slopes, as opposed to a July evening with fire smoke in the air and a wee bit of humidity dashing through the day. The have their own artisan water! Not like in bottles on the counters. Running through the pipes in the bathroom shower and the bathroom sinks! It's fantastic! Nothing more crunchy granola than your own friggin water!!! i can say, with 100% clarity and honesty, that I could not tell the difference between the taste of the artisan water and the tap water at the motel in Wendover Nevada the previous night, but I am sure my body was rejuvenated from the artisan water more than it was from the tap. They also have the coolest matchbooks of all time and I may have snagged enough to last 39 days on the next season of Survivor. But, I promise, they are totally cool and it's free, so free means, take as many as you want, or at least that's the story I tell meself! Ha! All in all, I cannot wait to stay here again. In fact, I hope on my next visit, I have a female friend and I can return the noisy favors of those who like to listen to crappy music hecka loud into the crisp nightfall. Trust me, you'll hear me loud and clear and you'll know that I ain't bakin' biscuits!!

Cute comfy place to stay, close to the casinos and the beach so its the best of both worlds. During my most recent visit I did leave some items behind, and was worried I would have to take the loss, but the manager aleksei was very helpful in getting this issue resolved.

The carpet was so filthy that my toddler's feet (and ours) were black after just walking for a few minutes in the room. We immediately alerted the front desk and asked to change rooms (it was Monday morning and all the cars were gone, so we know there were empty rooms) and no one ever even got back to us. Th sheets are terrible. There is no fitted sheet on the bed and the comforter is wrapped in two flat sheets. So basically the sheets go everywhere when you sleep and it feels like there are two sheets AND a comforter on top of you. Very uncomfortable. Th water in the shower smelled horrible, or maybe it was actually just the shower itself. It smelled stale and not clean. The lighting in the room is terrible. It feels like you are in a cave, which is not ideal for summer in Tahoe. In fact, my toddler cried every time we entered the room. The first night we were there, while loading a few items into our car, a guy in a truck came barreling into the parking lot and ran up to us asking for money and then commented on how pretty my toddler is. It was scary and alarming, but of course there is no security on the property, which leads me to my next point. I've never stayed at a "hotel" where the lobby opens at 8am and there is no one to assist after hours. Clearly, this is just a payroll issue and you don't want to pay someone, but also judging from the service we received from the front desk they probably wouldn't have been helpful anyway. Additionally, the coffee in the lobby was atrocious. Like unpalatable. Overall, the stay was beyond disappointing. We had a better experience staying at Station House before the renovations. The only perk is the location, but that doesn't even make it worth it. My husband works in the hotel industry and we were beyond appalled by almost every aspect of this stay. We had been planning this vacation for almost a year and staying at Station House was a huge disappointment. No one should have to walk on filthy carpet for 6 days or stay in a gross bed with awful sheets or not have enough lighting to find anything or not feel safe and secure because security doesn't exist. Do better.

The hotel was nice, clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay. The restaurant was good but seemed understaffed. Had a pretty view sitting outside. Only complaint we had was that the front desk staff weren't very friendly during our stay. They didn't really seem like they cared to show good customer service. We weren't greeted by anyone when we entered the lobby and when we were greeted everyone seemed like they were in a bad mood. A great perk to the hotel was that you get a voucher for beach access, but we were not given them upon arrival (nor was this mentioned when we checked in) and had to ask the front desk for them. Would definitely stay again for the location but hope to see friendlier faces in the future!

I definitely loved this cabin-ish feel I got staying here for a small winter break getaway with my family. You honestly get cabin-like vibes staying here but inside the room itself, of course it feels more like an inn the way it describes so you get the best of both. Inside was neither fancy or terrible. It was decent and perfect for a short stay! There is complimentary breakfast and I want to give credit to the short staff service because they were honestly working their butt offs during a packed busy morning. They still were being respectful, had bright positive greetings and you can tell they were really trying their hardest to attend to everyones needs. I would stay here again for sure. It was also in a very convenient area. Walking distance to everything!

I was super excited to stay here because I got a deal using my cc reward points, so I only ended up paying about $100/night. Our trip was during the peak of summer, so the normal rate was about $300/night. There is no way I would have been happy if I was paying close to $1000 for 3 nights instead of $300. I had seen a few instagram posts and was excited to take part in some of their fun on-site things, but I ended up being underwhelmed. It was me, my husband, and 2 kids ages 2 + 9. We made smores the first night with our own supplies and the sticks from by the front desk. It's not quite the same roasting marshmallows over a propane fire pit flame as it is over wood. The staff were very nice though, and the maintenance guy turned on a firepit for us because the other ones were full of people. If I was there with no kids, I probably would have had a drink by the fire and enjoyed the Tahoe summer. The swings/cornhole area was packed every night we were there, so my kids only got to go on the swings a couple random times in the middle of the day. People were smoking cigarettes outside in the common area also so it made it less inviting to hang out. I thought we would spend a lot of time in this area, but that didn't happen. The pool looked nice, but it was not a kid friendly pool. The deepest end is 9' and the shallow part was 3'. I could see having a picnic or meal by the pool in their cute chairs, but I have a toddler that wanted to run straight into the pool so that didn't happen. I didn't really care too much about missing out on all this fun stuff though because I was in Tahoe for the beach. The real disappointment though were the beds. OMG they were uncomfortable. It seemed like they only upgraded the decor in the room + the toilets, but the mattresses were not (at least in the room we were in, 119). My back hurt so bad the first night I could barely sleep. That, plus the bed squeaking every time you moved was enough to keep me in that not quite asleep - not quite awake purgatory. As another reviewer said, the carpets were very dirty, and we had to wear our sandals while inside. We decided to reframe our stay into a "glamping" experience, in which case it would be luxurious to have a hot shower and toilet if we were in the woods. Playing at the beach wore us out enough to sleep for the next 2 nights, but I can't tell you how excited I was to get back to my own bed. I don't think I would stay here again unless I found out they replaced their mattresses. Would not recommend for a family, maybe if you were there partying/drunk and were only using the room to pass out and didn't care about a comfy bed or dirty carpet. Also, there are no bright lights in the room (could be good or bad depending on your preference). Giving 3 stars for staff, cute decor, the "vibe", and location.

Great location away from the main drag but within walking distance to the gondola and more, comfy bed, adorable vintage-like details, perfect on-site restaurant, and clean pool made this an easy, sweet lil resort-style place to stay. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back!

Loved this re vamped place! So cute with great touches of vintage ski vibes. Beds are really comfortable and it's a great location right in town.

Great location and cozy room, however on Booking.com the room is listed as having a spa tub, but the bathroom is actually pretty basic. A bit pricey for what it was but A-OK. No breakfast was provided. They also charged us $60 for toiletries which was ridiculous.

Good for the rate. Staff was nice and informative. Check in was fast (Saturday) and it really is a couple of minutes walking from the beach! The inn itself is a bit dated but everything worked well (heat/shower/water temperature) and they offer free breakfast between 7am - 10am. Complimentary breakfast is at the only restaurant they have, just behind the pool. It is sit down and cooked to order spot and takes a few minutes to get a table so factor that in mind when planning your morning. Got the overeasy eggs (great), bacon (great), buttermilk biscuit (good), home style potatoes (okay). The pancakes look gigantic so sharing is caring. *** remember to bring cash to tip the nice waiter*** The only issue is that the parking lot can seem small because most cars parked here are trucks or large SUVs. At night it was almost impossible to find parking I even contemplated finding alternative space outside. This was around 10pm. Did not use spa/pool/steak house but are available.

While this is a smaller hotel/motel (I will say it's closer to a motel since all the entry doors are outside. Typical of a motel). I'm giving this 2 stars for a number of reasons. 1. Not a great place for a family to stay.. the rooms are extraordinarily small, I don't know when hotels/motels decided that guests don't need microwaves, but we've started talking a small microwave and toaster with us whenever we go out of town. Almost no counter room. The "kitchenette" & vanity area are the same area! There is only one additional chair in the room to sit in, which is at the desk area. Also, the shower isn't "sealed", so when you take a shower, water goes EVERYWHERE!! Don't leave anything on the bathroom floor that you don't want to get sopping wet! 2. The pillows are crappy! Way too soft, absolutely no support. 3. No cable! While there is a Large TV in the room, I felt like I was 12 again scrolling channel by channel to see what was on. I asked if it was at least a smart tv so that I could cast from my phone, but no.. 4. We needed a late checkout on our last day as we were in Tahoe for a hockey tournament. Our last game was at 5:00 pm that evening and we were going to be leaving right afterwards. They wanted to charge us a half day rate to checkout 2 hours later than normal. We've done this before at other hotels and have been charged no more than $25-$50 additional.. so I was very disappointed at the cost of their "late checkout". We ended up going to the ice rink 4 hours before our last game and just camped out in the cafeteria area. 5. They have jumped on the band wagon of not servicing Tim's, but charging the same amount. Why are hotels doing this? They claim they're being "green", but really what they're doing is just being cheap by not paying cleaning staff to service the rooms on a daily basis, like they used to. I'm not a fan of this and I will leave a bad review every time I hotel does this! I'm paying, not just to stay there, but also for you to clean the room, have fresh sheets & towels DAILY! In retrospect, I wish we had stayed at the Bally's in town right next to the new Tahoe Blue Ice rink.. we would have never had to drive anywhere and pay additional for parking every day, the cost would have only been $30.00 more/day for our room which would have included cable & a smart TV, and we would have had access to a hot tub in our rooms. We won't be staying at the Station House Inn again sadly.

So we found this diamond with the help of travelzoo. I was kind of worried because we normally stay on the strip. I will soon find out, staying on the strip is dumb. We checked in and check in was a breeze. Now it was time to head to our room. One word to describe our room, AMAZING. The room was perfect. Very cozy and had all the needed amenities plus a fridge. Our room was a 9 minute walk to heavenly and the strip. I now realize we don't ever need to stay on the strip. The other cool part was the fact across the street was a decent slope where the kids had a blast sliding down the slope with their sleds. We had one hiccup with our room dealing with the heater. The hotel jumped into action and remedy our problem fast. I can't say enough about this hotel and their staff. Every staff member we contacted was warming and caring. Seriously, I commend you all. I hope your boss sees this review because you all deserve recognition. I definitely found my new hotel spot. I can't wait to try this place in the summer.

We went for breakfast. Homemade salsa was delicious on my scrambled eggs. Potatoes were good to.

Overall, this is a great affordable place to stay if you're in south lake. It's within walking distance to the casinos and main strip. The room was modern-ish and mostly clean. I noticed a few small details, the bathroom wasn't super clean and the throw pillow on our bed was raggity looking. Not a fan of the cloth headboard either, not easy to clean and awkward placement/ not comfortable to lean against. Also, we were two hours early for check in and paid $20 for "early check in". Not the best first impression. BUT they are pet friendly, which was lovely. We prefer to bring our dog with us and she was very comfortable at station inn. There is a also a little pet relief area. We would stay there again!

This is the absolute cutest most cozy place we have ever stayed at in Tahoe! All of the staff was beyond friendly and helpful! Our room was perfect, the size was great the vibe was amazing, bed was comfy! Everything was just so thought out about our entire stay for a weekend getaway with the hubby & corn hole! One of our favorite outing games, next to a fire pit!! Over all the best stay we've had! We'll be back!

We normally stay at a different lodge down the road but they were fully booked so we decided to give this place a shot and we were happy we did! The good: Pet friendly Newly renovated Very clean and cozy Walking distance to heavenly gondola Walls are not thin! Plenty of usb chargers Free dog treats in reception The bad: The room is a bit small than the other place we normally frequent Wifi was spotty at times but maybe because we were staying in a far corner? No breakfast to go bags The nails that kept the security lock latch was coming undone The bed sheets felt a bit itchy The heater unit was a little loud Final verdict is that we would stay here again.

Cutest spot with a great location and restaurant! Stacy made my stay extra special and treated me with such kindness and went out of her way to accommodate me extending my stay. Couldn't recommend a hotel more and can't wait to return.

What drew me into this place was the cute decor, location, and reviews. It does have potential, but really lacked in service. The room itself is cute enough with with the little touches and I liked the hooks on the wall. They have a little lobby with a nice fireplace and sitting area. The location is not bad and waking distance to Heavenly. What really disappointed us was the service. We had an issue with the shower not draining and overflowing the first night. The safe also had a problem opening back up. They sent a maid who didn't want to listen. She even saw that we put a towel down to help. She came when we were out, didn't even bother cleaning it up nor servicing the room. Didn't get to sleep as the people above us were so noisy until the middle of the night like maybe 2 a.m. Not sure if they had a dog or something, but you can hear everything. The lobby also closed early, so no one to call with any issues in the middle of the night. Would most likely not come back.

15 stars!!! Awesome experience checking in and welcomed to the hotel kindly by Liz. Even offered complimentary drinks at check in! Place looks great and has a cool style. Liz was a big help and pleasant to talk to. To top it off it's right by the water. Sincerely AWS!
