Charming and quaint
Front desk was so friendly and helpful. They even texted us ahead of time for directions to check in if we got in late. Room was lovely; bed was unexpectedly comfortable. Gorgeous views accompanied a decent restaurant next door (with GREAT staff). Sad we didn't get enough time here. Would return!

Thank you for the excellent rating! We acknowledge that our restaurant won't meet all tastes so, if you're looking for alternatives on your next visit, please ask. We're more than happy to suggest alternatives, especially for the earlier meals since we're mostly a dinner destination.We hope you left a comment card with your restaurant order, the Owner does read them and take them into consideration, and greatly appreciates the feedback of the customers.

Nice, big room. Great restaurant and bar with live music out in the patio. Beautiful garden areas on the property. The pool could have used a skimming maybe more that once per day. A number of bugs were in the pool in the afternoon. Great soaking tub and patio with room. Friendly and Helpful staff.

Jeanne, thank you for your feedback! We'll aim to skim the pool in the evenings when we can get away from the desk. Glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of your amenities!

We enjoy the quiet cottage and grounds around the hotel. What we were disappointed in was that the shops near by close down pretty early.

We love the review of the property and agree with the sentiment about our sleepy little town's hours. Unfortunately the only night life in our county are the bars and casinos so if we get more travelers like yourself that may eventually change. Fingers crossed? We look forward to your next stay!

As surprising as it sounds we have some repeat guests who've visited for years and only recently learned we have a pool. The privacy fence and hedges must do a better job than we thought! The pool is closed during our slow season of November through April due to ambient ground temperature but, as Jim Steinman wrote, "three out of four ain't bad."

While every room has access to the hot tub in the pool area, year round, it doesn't compare to the privacy and intimate setting of the Ofuro. We're glad to hear you loved your stay!

The perfect Lake County get-away
I adore the Tallman! It isn't cheap but is a lovely splurge. The rooms are so comfortable and beautifully appointed. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is yummy - a selection of European style pastries, steel-cut oatmeal with lots of toppings, fresh juice, yogurts, hard-boiled eggs and great coffee. Having the Blue Wing Saloon as an integral part of the hotel is convenient and enhances the overall fantastic experience. Love, love, love the Tallman!!

Tallman is a wonderful tribute to the local history - incorporating a deep respect to the local flora and fauna with nature themed decor. This was such a special experience for my mom and I. We enjoyed and luxuriated in the very lovely suite and soaking tub.

We love to hear such praise from those who see the effort put into the property as a whole, rather than isolating their experiences to a single facet of our property and services!We do have seven types of rooms so if you're looking for a slightly different experience next time feel free to call us and learn about what makes each room type special!

We stayed in the main hotel. The room was clean and pretty. I would definitely return here but maybe stay in a cottage. Has their own parking lot but there’s no issue with finding parking on the street. Upper lake as a town is fairly run down so the hotel seems a little out of place. Rundown but not dangerous or unsafe. Lots of great outdoor seating area to relax but we went in early September when it’s over 100 degrees so we didn’t hang outside much until sun went down or early morning. Pool is small. Restaurant across the way is good. A little pricey. As for complaints, check in us at 4 which is on the later side and considering that check out is 1030 I think they could make checkin earlier.
