Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

Station House Inn - Near Heavenly Gondola

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was very friendly and informative we came here early and gave us some welcoming drinks! She was very polite and knowledgeable about the area and she recommended some place around. Room was very clean and comfortable! Feels like were in a cabin. Although the heater was not working or maybe its on automatic? Because it was so cold from 10pm - 4am. Overall, we loved it and we had a great experience."
