The two story guest room building at Alder Inn at dusk, string lights strung between the tall pines and the parking lot in front of the rooms.

Two guests, in their own words.

Such a great stay. The room was big, clean, very reasonable for the price. The location was also perfect for walking to local cafes or the beach, as well as a quick drive to Heavenly for a day of snow activities. Sam was super responsive and easy to get a hold of. Really appreciated the late checkout when requested.
