We stayed here for just one night after a couple of nights in Napa.  We loved the Tallman.  The building itself is amazing and the rooms outside the main building are very nice.  Marlana greeted us in the late eve and was very sweet.  I grew up going to our cabin in Cobb about 20 miles south of Clear Lake every summer, and Marlana was great to talk to because she is a Lake County native.  Lower Lake is certainly a quiet, tiny town...but sometimes that's exactly what you want.  Kind of seemed like you were at the edge of the earth...I guess because we rarely went as far as Upper Lake when I was a kid.  Somehow it seems further north than Seattle...I suppose it's just the remoteness.  Such a cool main street...The Blue Wing restaurant had the best stuffed artichoke I've had in a long long time...and a good tap of beers.  Amazing, recently restored and reopened mini golf is just on the other side of the lake in Clearlake!  Used to be Jules...now called Tatonka.  Original 18 holes are 95% in tact.  Check it out.  The Tallman may be a tad pricy, but it's far and away the best place to stay within 50-75 miles.  We had the Ofuro tub room...very cool.  Recommending the Tallman.

Stayed here during a quiet weekend in December (non-holiday). The property is lovely and our room and amenities far exceeded our expectations. We noticed different room rates among different travel booking sites, so look around (may have been related to types of room). A complimentary, self-serve breakfast was served in the dining room (cereals, yogurt, toast, bagels, juices, fruit, coffee, etc.). Free wi-fi available throughout the property. Our room was quite large, upstairs and had a patio with table/chairs overlooking the courtyard. The bathroom was beautifully appointed and the entire room was cutsey-antiquey, but not in an annoying way. We did not use the pool (too cold), but it looked nice. Our check-in process was wonderful and the staff members were extremely friendly and welcoming. We ate dinner at the Blue Wing Saloon/Cafe (next door), which looks like nothing more than a pub, but actually served very high quality food and also had a great staff. We went wine-tasting across the street at LCWC, and were given complimentary tastings after mentioning we were guests at the Tallman Hotel.

Title covers the review. We really enjoyed our stay, and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly.

Always a superb place to get away from it all - the Japanese soaking tubs are pure heaven; staff is very friendly and the surrounding area is great to explore for running, hiking, wine tastings, etc.
