Experience a sustainable stay in California's Lake County.
In the heart of Upper Lake, California, the Tallman Hotel welcomes you with East Lake-era charm and quiet, thoughtful design. Built in the 1890s and brought back to life after decades of rest, this retreat brings together period craftsmanship, modern sustainability, and a lasting connection to the land around it.
Inviting you to a simpler time.
The Tallman Hotel's revival was guided by what remained. The original redwood wainscoting was uncovered beneath layers of paint and given new life. The 1902 piano once owned by the Tallman family still plays in the saloon. Original details mix with sustainable upgrades, creating a space that feels both rooted and refreshingly current. The vibe is unhurried, the luxury is understated, and the sense of belonging is immediate.
Sophisticated country chic.
Each of the 17 guestrooms is thoughtfully designed, with custom wall treatments, hand-painted lighting, and soft, natural hues that invite you to relax. The linens are plush, the bathrobes sumptuous, and the details intentional. Some rooms even feature private patios with geothermal Japanese Ofuro soaking tubs, offering a quiet place to soak and unwind. Around the property, restored woodwork and period furnishings keep the past alive, while modern amenities like electric vehicle charging stations and high-speed WiFi bring things firmly into the present.
Start your day with a house-made continental breakfast in Tallman's sunlit dining room, featuring fresh scones, fruit, granola, and good coffee. Meals turn into memories next door at the Blue Wing Saloon Restaurant. Inspired by an 1800s-era bar and outfitted with locally crafted walnut tables, the space feels both lived-in and lovingly made. On warm days, grab a seat on the shaded patio and enjoy seasonal pub fare paired with Lake County wines. Between the tasty food, the clinking of glasses, and the steady rhythm of live music several nights a week, it's easy to lose track of time in the best way.
Located in Upper Lake, California, less than a three-hour drive from San Francisco.
