AC and fan was off when we arrived and we were unable to cool room off until the following day, which made it hard to sleep. Ice machine was broken. Internet was out for a portion of our stay.

(1) Parking was an issue for us. I counted 6 parking spaces, plus 1 handicapped space and 1 space that’s marked “No Parking”. We could not find a parking space around 4:30pm so we parked at a 2nd location suggested by Mother Nature’s Inn (the lot West of the Inn by the laundry mat and Real Estate office) but there were tow-away signs all over this parking lot. My husband learned from a shopkeeper at Heather & Pine home furnishings that 2 of their employees were parked in the Mother Nature’s Inn parking lot and would soon be leaving. After one of them left, my husband re-parked the car because we feared our car would be towed away if we left it in the suggested optional parking lot. (2) The carpet appeared dirty. (3) The sink in our bathroom was draining slowly.

The hotel is conveniently located across the street from the lake and is close to restaurants and shops. The self check-in process went well. The beds were comfortable.

I feel like the photo on the website probably reflects a more updated room than what I stayed in. It wasn't cleaned to the greatest level of detail (dust on the blinds and a museli bar wrapper was under a chair). There was also a sign pointing to reception, but I don't actually think there is a reception area? But it was safe, convenient, and comfortable, so a decent a stay overall if you're good with a place with a bit of character!

The location is excellent and the self check-in was very easy. Parking was great - right outside the motel. The room had plenty of amenities: desk for working, microwave, mini-fridge, nice chairs for sitting on the balcony.

Did not like the packets of coffee. There was no Kleenex in the room and therefore had to use TP.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean.

We stayed multiple nights and because they don't service the room we didn't have washcloths the second night.

Nice and cozy

Stayed in March 2025

The bunk bed was really squeaky and uncomfortable every time someone move around.

Stayed in February 2025

Bed was too soft and not so comfortable (but that’s our thing, others might like it). Too many emails from the staff (at least once a day). Toilet flush wasn’t working very well.

Amazing location close to everything, comfortable, warm, spacious and cozy room. It feels like almost like a studio. We had a lovely stay!

Stayed in March 2025

The room was not very clean upon arrival. There were some hairs in the bathroom on the toilet and in the shower, even actually on the bed. There were also some stained towels. We were very tired when we checked in, and the owners of the place were very quick to respond to my message and had the Cleaner come, but we were very tired and she did not speak any English and she honestly seemed really rude and did not want to clean the place. So we settled for some new towels. I get it that they were quick to respond, but it’s pretty annoying to show up to a dirty room when you’re tired. I didn’t even want to review, but I kept getting emails to review the place.

The room is in a great location, easy to walk to restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and the heater worked really well. parking and check-in was easy.

Stayed in March 2025

The mattress and pillows need refreshing. Otherwise, no complaints.

Location works great for walking around town and as a base to visit the area. Designated off-street parking for the Inn is a plus. The room was cozy and quiet enough.

Stayed in February 2025

Dark room. It was cold out and door leaked air around the edges making for cold on one side of the room and hot next to the wall heater.

Comfy bed

Not spotlessly clean, hair in the bathroom, sand in the fridge and some candy wrappers and little Lego pieces on the carpet.

Room was comfortable and quiet, fully equipped kitchen and excellent location.

Needs refurbishing. No staff on site

No early check in available and check in is later than typical -4pm. There's no one on site to help with any issues that pop up. They don't offer beach towels.

Fantastic location; across the street from public Beach and in between all the restaurants in the area. They were relaxed about parking, no permit required. Shower toiletries were good quality.

Stayed in July 2024

No elevator, and so had to drag my suitcase up and down steep stairs. Since there are never staff there on purpose, no one to ask for help.

Easy walk to food and the Lakeshore trail

Stayed in June 2024

There’s no staff so it’s all very impersonal with automated messages and entry codes. The pictures of what seems to be the lobby is in fact the unrelated shop next door. The fridge is making a lot of noise.

Cozy comfy rooms with all facilities you need right next to the lake.

A bit hard to figure out how to manage the temp, but AC and window worked fine in the end.

Easy parking. Great location. Self-checkin was very straightforward.

Very cute little property right in the heart of Tahoe City. Easy access and very comfortable. Wish they had some more parking but was able to find some in the lot in the back. Would stay here again!

I found the mattress too cloudy and my preference is for a mattress to be firm, so I sleep more comfortably. This is a down side for me but for some people it may not be.

The hotel is well located in the main area of Tahoe City. Easy to grab a cup coffee when leaving in the morning and to get a meal at night. There are stores nearby to visit. It kind of "faces" Lake Tahoe - you cannot see the lake from your window - because it is on the main street, so every time you leave the property you will have the beautiful views of the lake. It is a good space for two people. The room is warm and well decorated accordingly to the place. There is a book in the room explaining how to handle the nature around the lake and we found it really useful.

Stayed in April 2024

Instructions to access the building could be more clear. I was confused about where to go in.

Cute little place, SOO convenient to everything. Nice to have an affordable place to take the pugs. Shower could have been a little cleaner but everything else was great!

Stayed in March 2024

Thin wall that I could hear people snoring in next room. Towels has black thread on them; wish they provide more water in the room besides the one mini bottle , and reception is closed throughout the stay so no place to buy water other than driving

Location is good with close parking, many restaurants around as in Tahoe city downtown. Lake is close just across street. Bed is ver comfortable

Stayed in March 2024

Rooms are a bit small and behind a shop on the main street. There is no front desk and when we visited, the shop was closed. Thankfully, we were able to call the owner and they were super responsive! (side note- if you are booking this place to ski at the Palisades Tahoe resort, leave early because there is a slow moving traffic from Tahoe City)

Great location, on the main street of the Tahoe City. You could walk to many restaurants and cafes in Tahoe City. Tesla charger is just a couple of mins away. Rooms are nicely done with a personal touch of mother nature theme. Checkin is seamless with a digital lock and unique code created for the booking.

Stayed in January 2024

The initial 8 day stay was good, however once my initial stay was up i booked another 3 nights because my work accommodation at Palisades ski resort was not ready yet, i then got a message from Palisades 2 hours after i had extended my stay at the inn for 3 nights to say that that my accommodation was now ready, however the Inn was not prepared to waiver the cancellation fee even though i cancelled very shortly (literally hours) after my booking which was extremely disappointing considering i had just paid for an 8 day stay at the Inn. Booking.com sent the Inn a message requesting the waiver of the cancellation fee but this was ignored by the Inn.

Location was good right in the middle of Lake Tahoe town. All the communication with the Inn back and forth before my stay was excellent. All Queries were answered timeously.

1. They charge less on their direct website than on Booking. I’ve been booking.com customer for years, I like my rewards, and I like experience booking on the app and I feel very disappointed to find out that the hotel charge booking.com customers more. Next time I will still book on Booking, but probably not this hotel. 2. They don’t have reception, on one side it’s nice, as I enjoyed easy self check in, but on other hand when you need something, you can’t get ahold of anyone. 3. Their Wifi s bad

Nice location, easy check in.
