Great newly renovated room with kitchen. Perfect size for 2 people and great price. We wanted to add an extra night but had trouble reaching the front desk. It was low season but took a while to be able to add that night.

Worst stay from hotel on this site
We were put on the 2nd floor even though there was very few others there. Was never able to check in because the front desk closed before 4:00pm which was check in time. And I have a bad back which kept me in constant pain from going up and down as well as the bed had a huge hump in mattress. 1st night we had a most unexpected noise being produced by the heater in room. Called front desk next day and told them. Maintenance never called us like they told us, and had to endure hearing it which got worse each night. Had 2kids and baby with us which woke up baby each time it made the noise. Which was 2 times an hour. By end of trip I was wanting to leave to get away from this place. When checking out staff was not there again before check out time so could not tell them all the issues with room. Won’t stay here again.

Cozy little base for Tahoe adventures. Can walk to local places. Quick drive to most things on North shore. Nice beach area and dock to walk out on. Stayed in a room but would look into lakeside cabin next trip

So cute!
Stayed here for one night. Cute studio cabin duplex. Tiny stove with oven. Tiny dishwasher and fridge. It was small but had everything we needed. And steps from the shoreline. Loved it!

Staff were very friendly. The room I stayed in was SO cute and updated (not sure if they're all like that) but it was great having a full kitchen, stocked with anything you needed, like even the dishwasher pods. The bed was extremely comfortable. I stayed on the forest side, so it was across the street from the main building and lake. Everything about my stay was wonderful including the location. I would definitely recommend staying here.

When we arrived at our room, we immediately checked to make sure everything worked. We had no electricity at all. We called the office and they said they would send someone over. After about 15 min., someone came and said the circuit breaker was tripped. After it was turned back on, we had no issues with the electricity, at all. We stayed at the end of the mountainside studios, so it was quiet and more peaceful. Our unit was clean and nicely updated. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. A great plus for management! We have stayed at multiple places in the Tahoe City/Tahoe Vista area, and usually we don't return to any of them because we didn't like them enough or had problems that weren't rectified. We would stay here again.
