“Very welcoming and warm place, simply put, we'll be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

Recently we went down for a ski trip. Great location and easy to get to the hill, restaurants and lake. An assortment of coffee, tea and hot chocolate was pleasant to wake up to. The kitchen was well laid out to make meals with a amazing stove and the bedrooms were private and warm and offered spectacular views. The setting was unique with shared common spaces and if you're fortunate enough as we were to share time with Herman and Ann and other potential guests it makes for an awesome experience.

I recommend this to any singles or couples who like to be a self sufficient looking for a nice retreat.

“Home comforts and friendly welcome bring me back year after year”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2010

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.

“Home from home - comfy beds, nice people, good coffee, clean towels daily.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2010

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.

“Terrible, terrible hospitality - grumpy old woman”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2010

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.
