Internet wasn’t working when we tried to check in at 3 pm. After 15-20 minutes, we finally left and went into town since they couldn’t get us a room number. We came back about 5 pm and were manually issued a room since their system was still down. I have asked for a discount because of the inconvenience. They said they will try to work with Expedia to give me some money back since I booked with a third party.

Went there for a 3 day wedding weekend. Property was cool. Staff was super sweet. Room was pretty bad. Clumps of hair on the shower wall, bathroom had a moldy ceiling, carpet was worn to the floor, vanity light out, wall was painted multiple shades of white/yellow. Inside door handle was grimy. Worst hotel I had ever stayed in. But still had an awesome wedding weekend and recommend it for anyone doing a wedding weekend. Huge potential for this place.

Love the quiet atmosphere & the amazing scenery. What I didn’t like is the old smell in the room & it was clean but not completely. Dishwasher & coffee machine did not work, there was only one remote for 2 tvs & the oven was dirty. That being said we hv stayed 2 separate time & enjoy ourselves each time & plan to go back with the family in November. Just needs small tweaks.

Safety is important to the staff. There's a small waterfall and a lot of blackberries to pick. There's also a meadow with a lake. It's not a fancy hotel and somewhat dated but the staff is wonderful. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the price is right. There's internet access and its walking distance from Nevada City. This is the second time I have stayed there and I would stay there again.

Drapes hanging off rod, bathroom moldy around the bottom of tub/shower, walls cracking open and just general lack of maintenance. Friends who live in town asked me where I was staying and I told them. They said not a great decision. Used to be a nice place in the day but is now run down. They are right. Owners: spend some money on your property to upgrade and clean it up. If you can’t afford to do it, sell the property

The place is in a beautiful area. There just has not been proper maintenance done for years.Carpets are frayed with holes. They carpets need cleaning at least. Downstairs toilet was grimy around edges. Kitchen stove was greasy. We didn't cook. Patio chairs were dirty with cigarette ashe on them. I went with the expectation of loving it. I couldn't wait to leave.

Here's a heads up for all of you: DO NOT think that if you're running late on check-out day that they'll give you an extra half hour to leave. I was told that if I checked out past the 11 AM time I would be charged another $25 plus tax. And if I checked out later than noon I would be charged for an entire new day. I've never been given that kind of ultimatum from any other place.
