    We booked Room 2 at The Parsonage expecting a traditional bed-and-breakfast stay in a historic…read morehome. The property is listed as a B&B on several platforms, the website features breakfast imagery, and the booking form asks for dietary restrictions, so we reasonably assumed breakfast and access to common areas were part of the experience. Instead, Room 2 functions more like a small private room rental with limited access to the house. We were surprised to learn upon arrival that we did not have access to the main house common areas. For us, shared spaces are a major part of what makes staying in a bed and breakfast enjoyable. The room itself was also extremely small. With a queen bed and a twin bed in the room, there was essentially no space to move around comfortably and no seating area at all. For three guests, there was nowhere to sit except on the beds, and simply walking around the room was difficult due to the tight layout. Breakfast was also not served. Two muffins were left for us despite the reservation being for three guests, and despite the booking form asking for dietary restrictions. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years throughout California--both coastal and wine country--and the experiences we've loved have always included warm hospitality, welcoming hosts, shared spaces to relax in, and memorable breakfasts. The common thread in these stays is that guests are encouraged to enjoy the home itself, interact with hosts, and relax in shared spaces. That sense of hospitality and atmosphere is the reason we choose B&Bs. While the building at The Parsonage is historic, Room 2 itself felt very modern and generic rather than reflecting the character of a historic inn. To be fair, the owners later pointed out that the website includes a detailed description and a floor plan showing the limited access for Room 2. However, we found the wording easy to misinterpret when booking, particularly given the B&B categorization, breakfast imagery on the site, and the dietary restriction field in the booking form. At approximately $280 for the night (including a $50 fee for a third guest), the experience did not match what we personally expect from a bed-and-breakfast stay. This room may work fine for travelers who simply want a small private room and plan to spend most of their time out in town. However, for guests specifically seeking the hospitality, shared spaces, and atmosphere that typically define a bed-and-breakfast experience, Room 2 may not meet those expectations.

    I stayed in a small cottage and it had everything I needed, great bed, great pillows and the…read moreoverall aesthetic was lovely, with nice art, mirrors, a small kitchen great lighting for reading. I highly recommend the Parsonage 1865.

    Dear Tongming and Faith,…read more I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional experiences we have had at Harmony Ridge Lodge over the past five years. Nestled in the Tahoe National Forest, your lodge remains our favorite getaway and truly feels like a home away from home. Every visit is spectacular, and the service we receive is always outstanding. We especially enjoy the serene atmosphere of the whimsical gardens and the comfort of the nine spacious suites. Having access to the entire lodge--including the front lounge and the kitchen for cooking meals and hosting karaoke--makes our annual two-night stay incredibly special and seamless. We are consistently impressed by your dedication, professionalism, and hospitality. You both go above and beyond to make us feel like family, and the intimate experience you provide is unmatched. Thank you for maintaining such a safe and pleasant retreat. We look forward to many more visits and will continue to highly recommend the lodge to anyone looking for a perfect venue for weddings, retreats, or family getaways.

    Harmony Ridge Lodge was truly more than perfect for our wedding. One of the biggest reasons we…read morechose this venue was that it gave us a whole weekend with our family and bridal party, and that ended up making such a huge impact on our experience. Some of the most intimate and meaningful memories were made before and after the wedding, during breakfast, late into the night after the rest of the guests had left, and in all the quiet little moments in between. It made the entire weekend feel so special, connected, and full of love. And the beauty of the venue is honestly hard to put into words. Choosing a venue is such a big decision because it sets the entire tone and vibe of the wedding, and Harmony Ridge Lodge was truly the magical enchanted forest garden party venue of our dreams. Our wedding was on June 13, and the flowers, greenery, trees, and forest backdrop must have been at their absolute peak. Everything felt like it belonged in a fairy tale. The string lights, lanterns, gardens, and surrounding forest made the whole space feel warm, romantic, and magical. We had our rehearsal dinner here too, and brought in some Mexican catering, which ended up being a great way to maximize our time at the venue and it was so fun! For other engaged couples navigating the venue layout: there are many options for where to have your ceremony ( in the forest or gazebo), and dancing (renting a dance floor to have near the dinner area or the dance pad out front). We had our ceremony at the gazebo which was epic and beautiful and our dance party out front at the dance pad. Up until the wedding itself, I was worried that having dinner and dancing in separate spaces would split up the guests, but it ended up being perfect. Everyone was on the dance pad all night, there was so much space, and it looked so beautiful once the lights came on. It created such a fun and lively atmosphere. The breakfast was also incredible. Our chef was amazing, and we had several vegan guests who were so grateful to have thoughtful vegan options that actually had protein, flavor, and care put into them instead of just toast and fruit. That meant so much to us and to our guests. Thank you so much to everyone at Harmony Ridge Lodge for making our wedding so memorable, smooth, easy, lovely, and perfect in so many ways. We are so grateful we got to celebrate our wedding weekend in such a magical place.

    We booked this directly after reading through a Grass Valley travel website. I was a little leary…read morebecause a few reviews weren't great, but I called anyway because the price was right & they had availability. Barbara answered the phone and she was so pleasant and helpful, I knew it wasn't a mistake. Peter greeted us upon our arrival. He was just too sweet! Walked us around, gave us our key, etc. He told us about the various areas of interest and we had a great conversation about where they moved from. I was sorry to not meet Barbara, she was visiting family. The house is darling, lots of antiques and nick-nacks, cabinets full of crystal and old teacups & China, lots of family pictures. It was like walking through my great-grandmother's house. We stayed in the Brunswick room, overlooking the backyard. Quiet & peaceful, like we stepped back in time when things were simple. I was pleased that there was no TV (they do have WiFi, don't panic). Overall, it was a great stay and I hope to visit again.

The breakfast was top notch and did I mention the cookies? Barbara has been making these blue ribbon (the blue ribbon is next to the cookie jar) sugar cookies for over 20 years. I knew they were good just by looking at the cookie jar. We even bought 3 dozen to take home. At $.50 per cookie it would have been a deal at twice the price. Check out Elam Biggs. Have a cookie on me.
