Top South Lake Tahoe Hotel Reviews

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

8/10 Good
"The regular room is small, but I have stayed here several times and I knew that. The coffee maker did not work and the refrigerator door would not latch. BUT, the onsite restaurant, Touluus(sp) is absolutely great and the onsite pool and spa and cabanas were great and had the entire pool to ourselves on one afternoon! The staff in the restaurant and bar are terrific and the owner is easy to talk to, the chef cooked out steaks to perfection and the waitress was delightful. The restaurant alone is worth staying here."
