About Us

Step back to a simpler time...

Nestled in the historic country town of Upper Lake in the California Wine Country, the Tallman Hotel is a historic auberge that has been serving as a faithful retreat to weary travelers since its creation in the 1890's. Our beautiful 17-room guesthouse hotel in Lake County was thoughtfully and delicately restored in 2006 to the full glory of her gold-rush era days, including the addition of our beloved Blue Wing Restaurant & Saloon which is a recreation of the original restaurant and bar on the property that provided hearty meals and refreshing drinks from the 1880's to the 1920's. Steeped in history and local heritage, the Tallman Hotel welcomes all weary travelers to cross our historic threshold and, inside, find peace, restoration, and inspiration.
