Inn staff was like family

Being one of the many evacuees from the Angora fire, I would like to voice my gratitude to the Inn at Heavenly. After receiving the mandatory evacuation order, we left our home on Normuk and drove away, not knowing where to go. Knowing there were a couple of “dog friendly” motels on Ski Run Boulevard, we headed in that direction.

On impulse we drove in to the Inn at Heavenly where we were warmly met by owner Gary Thelander. He immediately set us up in one of their rooms, gave us a glass of wine, fed us and would not take any money for the accommodations. After feeling so displaced and fearful, the entire staff was like family we didn’t have in Tahoe. Gary kept checking on us, making sure we were comfortable and didn’t even charge us for the second night.



We were one of the lucky ones and returned home on Tuesday. I would like to extend my gratitude to the folks at the Inn at Heavenly for being so warm and accommodating during that stressful time. Our dog thought he was on vacation.
