Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent

"We had the BEST stay, fro the moment we arrived to the moment we left! Greeted with a complimentary welcome drink of our choice, complimentary s'mores kits at night while sitting around the fire pit. Heated pool and hot tub was perfect for the chilly evenings. Games available in the lobby as well as coffee and water to refill our water bottles. And the most ideal location for South Lake. Walking distance to Heavenly village and lakeside Beach, so you never have to worry about parking. And the cherry on top is that they are dog friendly, weather you bring your fur baby or not, having dogs around makes every place more enjoyable!"
