I've stayed here every June from 2006 through 2009 for more than a week each time. A relaxing environment with spectacular views, homely comforts and hosts who cannot do enough for you are just what you need pre- and post-running of Western States 100. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Squaw Valley. Herman and Ann have earned my recommendation to others.

We had a very warm welcome at Poole's Guesthouse. Ann & Hernman are lovely people. The house is beatuiful and in a fantastic setting. Idela for skiing at any of the ski centre arounds Lake Tahoe - 3 muntes in car from Squaw Valley ski restort.
The coffee is excellent and is on tap whenever you want it. Shelves provided in friday and cupboards for any provisions you want to use or cook there. The bed was extrememly comfortable in the King zied room. The shower was great, you can have as many clean towels as you want.
We ate out one evening with Ann & Herman at Grahams and had a fantastic meal.

Made last minute two-night reservations for me and my two sons. My son wanted to invite a friend, so he and his Dad joined us - admittedly late notice. We got in about midnight. We were quiet and orderly. First she saw the 3 kids and about had a heart attack, then she saw the 2nd adult.

The lady just about threw us out that night! She promised to kick us out in the morning...and she did...suggesting that we would be 'ruining the other guests' stay'. WE ONLY SLEPT THERE! Apparently kids are not welcomed.

Had a great weekend at the guesthouse. Hospitality was top-knotch. Beautiful views, easy to find, and great location.
