By far one of the best places we’ve stayed at in Lake Tahoe! What made it even more convenient was the fact that we had a stovetop so we saved so much money on going out to eat! Staff was very friendly and so was the front desk manager! I would definitely recommend staying here again!!!
Tall beautiful trees outside our window! Being able to sit in comfortable chairs outside our room and enjoy. Thank you!
Public beach close by - would be nice to get the swimming pool fixed though... I know, it's costly, but for some of us "Oldies" Lake Tahoe is a bit chilly. But no complaints, many thanks!

Loved the quaint cozy feel! Even has a small kitchen which was a really nice surprise! Feels just like I was back home at my cabin in Homewood! Will definitely be staying again :)

Friendly and great location!
We were going to get in LATE (1am), Cody at the front desk was very accommodating and made the process so easy. The room was cute and had a coffee maker by the bedside. Great location for the event we attended.
Nice room with kitchen with fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink. Could use a full length mirror.

It was ok. With the pictures I thought that a suite was a private cabin, but it is just a regular room with shared walls. It was fine, definitely on the rustic side, but it was on the charming side. I think I would try another place next time though.
I thought the staff was excellent, they accommodated all of our needs. He work with me on a family emergency. I can't thank them enough for that. Comfortable bed, the showers are a little smal for us.
