Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Rooms were small and some needed updating. Very clean. Rooms could be more sound proof. Staff was very friendly. Restaurant was very good extremely friendly. Cable was slow and wifi was intermittent. Stayed in room 10b
The desk staff especially Rosa was very helpful & accommodating. She went all her way out to help us open the gate at the tennis court as my key card was giving me issue.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Rooms really need an update, especially the bathrooms.
I felt like I wasn't welcome there. The check-in person was brusque, and the constant email and text reminders were annoying. Always trying to sell me more. While the room was clean and all the basic supplies were there, the fact that there wasn't one chair in the place meant I had to sit on the floor to put on my shoes an socks.
Who chooses the TV system?
Parking right in front of our back deck, easy checkin with keyless option, coffee maker and small kitchen with dishes and cookware, comfortable bed with pillow top mattress and wish I couldve stayed longer to enjoy the many amenities.

Nice location. Bare bone amenities, high price for low options. Very small TV. Small room
We were camping and got rained out. Just happened to find this place on Expedia and we're absolutely amazed by such a wonderful Lodge it is. That was 4 years ago and we now always stay at the Granlibakken anytime we are in Tahoe. They have everything here and no need to leave the property. The only draw back is that there is only one ice machine (that we could find) and it is located near the lobby. Other than that, great place to stay for sure!!!
